“You need to think about it,” Jonah said. “Whatever is holding you back in your training with Megara, it’s not your powers. It something else.” His voice turned soft. “Tell me what happened.”

I shook my head. “I can’t.”

“Of course you can.” He rested his hands on my shoulders. “Are we not friends? Did I not tell you my deepest, most dangerous secret? You’re afraid. I can see it your eyes. And fear is the surest thing for holding you down. Whatever you got locked up inside your head, you need to let it out.”

“You don’t understand.” I somehow found a way to meet his gaze. “I... I killed people. I didn’t mean to. But I did. My emotions took over and I reacted and two people died. I can’t... What if I try to fight back and I hurt Megara? What if I kill her? Or someone else?” I shrugged out from under his hands and paced away to face across the stream.

“I could do it.” I crossed my arms. “I could kill someone.” The thought sent a shiver through me. “You’re right. I am afraid. I’ve been afraid ever since this thing started. And it doesn’t get any better.”

“These two people you killed, were they threatening you?” Jonah asked.

“Well, yeah, but--”

“Have you ever hurt anyone who wasn’t threatening you?”

“No, but --”

“Stop with the buts,” Jonah said. “I can’t say as I know how it feels to take a life. I’ve never done it. But I think I’ve gotten to know you well enough to understand why you’re having so much trouble.”
