Chapter 13

Fire rain

David twirled his finger next to his head and mouthed, crazy.

This was a disaster. Kara rubbed her temples. She could feel a major migraine coming.

"Olga, I don’t have any magic skills—I can’t even do a decent card trick. I’m just a normal teenage girl, with nothing special—except maybe that I’m on duty with the guardian angel legion. But I swear to you—I don’t know anything about magic."

"You’re elemental," said the witch. Her yellow eye twitched as she watched Kara intensely.

Kara’s blood froze. She forced her lips to move. "What did you say?"

The witch smiled, and Kara noticed she only had one decayed front tooth.

"You’re an elemental. I can see it plainly. Shut up, Henry, it’s my time to speak. It’s all over you, girlie. I’ve never met one with so much of it—how curious..."

Kara frowned. The Fay sisters had said something of the sort, too.

"I don’t know what you mean by elemental. I know that I have elemental essence in me. It’s what sets me apart from the other guardian angels—why most of them hate me, really. But I don’t have any special powers as a mortal."

Olga stabbed her in the chest with her staff.

"But you do, girlie. You just don’t know it."

David folded his arms over his chest. "Am I the only one who’s confused here? Are you sure you’re cooking soup in that thing? What’s the witch talking about, Kara? Does this make sense to you?"

Kara met David’s confused expression, but she couldn’t answer him. It was making sense to her.

Olga ignored David and spoke only to Kara. "You know I speak the truth. You felt it before; when you were hanging from the chains—you were trying to summon it. It is why Shadow Cave opened up to you and let you pass—and why it let the spirit walkers pass without destroying them."

Kara shook her head even though she felt part of what Olga was saying was true. "You’re wrong, Olga. I don’t have any magic. I don’t know any spells, I can’t possibly be a witch."

"You’re not a witch, girlie," laughed Olga. Wisps of thin hair swayed on the top of her balding head.

"You’re an elemental. And elementals have a different kind of magic, a natural magic—a magic that comes from the earth. It has nothing to do with incantations and spells. It is nature’s energy. It is the flow of mother earth’s power."

David whistled loudly. "Whoa—that sounds wicked. I’d love to get some of that. I never thought witches could be so hot."

He smiled mischievously at Kara. "Can you curse me, sweet lady?"

Kara shot him a dirty look, and he pretended to seal his lips with his fingers.

Olga poked her in the stomach again, hard.

"Listen girlie, you are elemental. Nature’s strength lies within you. You have the power to manipulate the energies, to summon mother earth’s power."

The witch leaned on her staff, her yellow eye fixed on Kara. "You have the ability to feel and control these energies. Elementals are very rare and extremely powerful.
