CHAPTER NINE

More?

How could there have possibly been more to tell her? Hadn’t he just told her that he was a supernatural being with mystical ice powers?

More?

How could there be more? Kenna thought as she tried to contain her anxieties and confusions.

“What do you mean?” she finally asked as she took a slow sit on the log.

“You really don’t know, do you?” he seemed puzzled and surprised by her authentic bafflement. The girl shook her head slowly, completely unaware of how he was about to enlighten her. “Well,” he continued as he plopped down next to her, “you…you are a flame bender.”

If she thought she couldn’t have gotten more perplexed, she somehow did. “Okay, now you are just crazy,” she said defensively. “I think I would know if I had supernatural powers.”

“That’s just it though,” Jon began to explain. “I think that you’re only a half-blooded bender, a moiety as they are called. And some moieties don’t possess kinetic abilities. All of my brothers do, but you must not.”

Kenna remained baffled and almost unable to take him seriously. “Jon, that doesn’t make any sense. That would mean that one of my parents would be an elementalist like you,” she rationalized as she turned herself to face the boy.

“Yes, and I’m not sure that it’s entirely my place to tell you about your father,” he said with a very serious and pained tone.

Kenna shook her head quickly. “No. My dad wouldn’t keep something like that from me,” she claimed as she scooched away from him. “You don’t know him!” She pointed an accusing finger at the Colewell, feeling completely blindsided by the theory.

“Please, Kenna,” Jon started, “just let me explain. Please?”

Kenna swallowed hard and felt tears begin to sting her eyes as she let her hand drop. “Don’t tell me that I can’t trust him,” she begged as a drop trickled down her face. As a result, Jon didn’t open his mouth to respond, and when he didn’t Kenna burst out, “Fine. Just tell me.”

Jon got close to her and finally put his arm around her. “I’m sorry,” he said as she began to sob into his shoulder. “For everything. This is all my fault. I should have known from the start, but I’d never come across a flame moiety. But when I walked onto your front steps, I felt it right away. I could sense a flame bender’s presence. I could feel the exploding heat just beyond the doorway.” He rubbed her shoulder as he sighed. “Then, I panicked like a coward. I ran. I thought for sure I was walking right into a trap of some sort. Flame benders aren’t exactly known for being peaceful with ice benders.”

Kenna covered her face with her hands as he explained. In her mind, she’d now been betrayed by everyone, Jon and her father, the two people she’d considered herself closest to in the past several months. And what was just as bad, he made it seem as though there could be no mixing of flame and ice.
