CHAPTER TEN

Sam and I spent three days working on my air powers. Three days that felt like they lasted forever. She dragged me out of bed barely before the sun came up and worked me until it was past dark. It was exhausting, but I almost wished we could push harder. It felt like time was slipping away from me. Each night I dreaded going to sleep, wondering if the next day would be the one when Megara caught up to us. Because she was coming for me, of that I had no doubt.

Zack and I had practically zero time to spend together, but he was there every time I laid down to close my eyes and that was something. I needed him to keep the nightmares away or else I never would have gotten any rest at all.

Just before dawn on day four, me and Sam were standing in the backyard facing each other, like always. But this time Sam didn't try to tap my powers. "It's time for you do this on your own," she said. "Let me see you ride a tornado."

My mouth fell open. "R-right now? I don't think I'm ready for that."

"Well, you better be," Sam said. "Because your boyfriend woke me up at midnight to tell me we were taking too long with your training. We still have three other elements to work with. I chewed him out good for it, but he wasn't wrong. But go over there first." She pointed to the tree line. "Just in case."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." I trudged across the yard, my chest getting tighter and tighter as all those panic butterflies were doing cartwheels in my gut. I really wanted to get this right, but I was terrified of the consequences of messing it up.

I stopped right at the edge of the trees and turned to face the house. Sam had gone up on the back porch and was standing against the door. This did not exactly help my nerves any. I breathed in and out slow, trying to use both the meditation techniques Jonah taught me, and the lessons Sam had given me on tapping my powers.

Something sort of like calm settled over me. I had been wanting to do this for a long time, but I never actually thought I'd be able to. But it had been easier for me to tap my fear than I ever imagined it would be, and despite all my uncertainty, I was beginning to find faith in myself that I never had before.

Megara's instructions on riding a tornado played through my mind. Bad as her methods were, I had learned a few things from training with her. "You can do this," I whispered. "I know you can."

It was easy to get the air started spinning around me. A little more complicated to keep it doing so while gathering the air under my feet and lifting myself off the ground. I raised a few inches, wobbled, got a few inches more, almost lost the circling air.
