The rest of the week and on into the fourth week moves rather quickly. I feel myself growing stronger, better, faster. My chicken legs fill out a little more. My mind has more control over my magic and my emotions. By the end of the fifth week, I manage to put Jaxen far from my thoughts. He left for a reason, and a large part of me doesn’t believe it’s because Mack wanted him to. If he’s looking to end whatever was blooming between us, distance is the best remedy.

But even with knowing this, it still doesn’t make it any easier to swallow, and that bothers me the most. Why him? Out of all the men in the world to be drawn to, why am I drawn to the one I can never be with? Maybe because nothing I ever do is done the easy way, at least, that’s what Katie would say if we were still on speaking terms, but that’s a whole other batch of issues I don’t feel like dealing with.

The jog I take every morning gets easier with every day that passes. I welcome the run, losing myself in my counted footsteps and the rising sun. Gavin keeps me focused on fight training, since that’s my most needed ability when I’m out in the real world.

Yesterday, I managed to make him cry uncle.

It’s the only part of the week I actually enjoyed.

Jezi keeps her distance from me during my time in the Witches Quarters. Cassie walks me through the basics of summoning elements, writing basic spells, and tapping into the gift of sight to predict pieces of the future. The gift of sight came in handy when live fighting Gavin.

He calls it cheating. I call it being sensible and resourceful.

The three of them think it’s best I remain in my room the remainder of my time during the day to keep me out of the public eye, and out of trouble. I can’t say it bothers me. It gives me time to focus on reading the books Gavin gave me and my Grimoire.

But even reading that has its limitations. There’s a whole section written in by my mother about the benefits of using herb magic versus elemental magic. Although it’s interesting to read about that side of her, to see her passion written in full force, it still hurts to look at. It hurts to think about her being stuck somewhere, held by God knows what.

I shut my mother’s Grimoire and set it back on the desk in my room. Tomorrow, Gavin wants me to watch the other novices while they practice for their quarter trials. I tried to get out of it. I don’t want to see Katie, but he told me to stop whining and suck it up. So sucking it up, I am.

I get back into bed and snuggle back against the pillow, staring over at my acceptance letter. You control your own destiny.

I shut my eyes when a loud bang goes off outside the Elder’s wing.
