All Chapters of Brimming With Power: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Two days after my graduation, I'm eighteen but I don’t feel happy about it, which is weird. Dad is keeping a party for me which I totally tried to stop him from doing without much luck. ”You're eighteen now and things will be changing for you. Most of our family and friends will be joining us so don't worry about it.” he explained simply.    I hate crowds. I guess I'll just have to tolerate it then. Family and friends I can handle. I just have to find a way to sneak out and get some alone time and let off some of this energy build up, that seems to be getting stronger, I can feel it running through my veins.    After my morning shower, I looked at myself in the mirror, I look a bit different than I was eight years ago. I no longer have pimples, however the freckles still remained, but they do look a little faded now. I have

"This Oasis of Terra-genesis, is  the lake of the gods which only appears to descendants who have not yet crossed into adulthood and are yet unable to control their power, wherever they may be. The water itself manifests the descendants' uncontrollable power in an attempt to subdue the mass of power that is generated from the young descendants by creating a battle in their body and minds. It is then up to them to fight and take control of what power is left in them. For each descendant their training is different. Bruce, for example, has no need to enter the lake. His power controls the earth and the sky, therefore the earth is more of an anchor for him. What amazes me the most is that Malia has the power to control water, the earth, the sky and the animals. However, in the state both of you are in, you need to start physical training as soon as possible." Before  Ryan could finish his explanation on the lake, all my power had been given bac

As I got to the lawn in front of the castle, colours danced on my skin. My entire body was enclosed in a mixture of colours.  “What…. Bruce, what’s happening to me?” Fear gripped me. My body was in a war with itself. My power was pushing but my conscious mind tried to contain it.  “Malia, look at me.” Mia commanded.  “Breathe honey, breathe. It’s ok. Stop fighting it. Everything is going to be alright. It’s ok to let go.”   I shivered with the amount of power that felt like it would rip my insides out. By this time all who came to the memorial gathering were now surrounding me and looking on.  “No! Get back! Get away from me please…..” I pleaded and fell to my knees on the cold hard groun

“None of you are allowed to be out of this castle without an escort.” Ryan exclaimed to my siblings and I. “We need to protect you from the Xaiden Clan. They aren’t like the vampires you’ve encountered on our way here. They are stronger, faster and are involved in  mutations that are extremely… revolting.”   Xaiden Clan? Where have I heard this name before? “What do you mean Xaiden Clan? How do I know that name?” Dad told us stories about the great underworld but I thought it was just bedtime stories to scare us.   “Xaiden has been claimed to be the first vampire bloodline which are the original vampires since the beginning of time.” Ryan explained, “They live for thousands of years if they are not killed. Their strength and speed are immeasurable. The newborns were the ones you encountered on our way here. They are weaker and a

That night I couldn't sleep again so I went down to the beach with a sheet, a basket of apples and a bottle filled with water. I laid myself and the basket on the now opened sheet on the sand. Listening to the wind and the waves crashing on the sand. Looking at the stars in the sky I tried to free my mind from everything I've been through for the past few days. How do I deal with a situation like this? I know running from it wouldn’t really help me but where do I start? How do I even begin? “Mom, dad, I need you. What advice would you give me?” I laughed a little as I remembered dad’s favorite words, “If life gives you lemons sweety, just make yourself some lemonade.” and mom would always tell me that no matter where I end up in life its my choice to be who I want to be, and if I fall no matter what, get back up, remember who you are and try again.
