CHAPTER 18

Angelica

IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO KEEP MYSELF from ramming through Eric to go after Ali, who raced away faster than a Shadow Strider in the thickness. I desperately wanted to see if she was ok; however, Eric prevented me from going any further with his stern glare, saying ‘let her go’. Even though, it was the right thing to let her escape the scene for a while, it worried me. The energy ball I conjured to throw her back was too much for the average being to handle without receiving deep injuries. However, she stood up, as it did nothing. She is stronger than my assumption of her capabilities. When she nearly struck Gabriel, there was darkness in the air. The others wouldn’t notice it, but I could sense the change. Ali has the dark roots embedded in her, and it’s growing with her anger and fear. It seemed like she barely recognized Gabriel and acted as if we weren’t there; and those black eyes. I don’t think she realized it. Her eyes turned completely black as night, like the darkness had its hold. In that short time, I didn’t sense the light in her soul. Ali, who are you really?

“Eric—let me get by.”

He continued to block my way. “She needs to walk off the fight. Gabriel shouldn’t have provoked her that way.”

“I hit her hard,” I said. “I don’t know if she’s alright.”

“She’ll be fine,” he answered. “It takes more than that to harm her. However, if you don’t give her space, she might harm you instead. So please…” He indicated to me to sit back on the boulder.

I sighed in frustration and did what he wanted. The rough surface felt warm from sitting on it earlier during the spar. Eric sat next to me and kept a watchful eye, making sure I didn’t run off after her. “Eric, what happened?” I asked. “She was fine.. Then she turned... Did you see her eyes?”

“Yeah…” He scratched his head. “We have noticed that too during our time together.”

“And you don’t find that strange?” I wondered why they weren’t shocked by what happened.

“Ali has her moments,” he answered. “It happens only when she’s consumed with anger though. It’s not often she gets like that. Although, I’ve noticed after what happened, it’s gotten worse. Before she would not lose control. After what I just saw—she was gone. Not even there with those black eyes. It was like looking at a different person.”

“The darkness has touched her,” I said. “It’s like a seed that sprouts roots in the soul turning it black. Makes you impulsive and filled with fury, reckless…”

“It probably has to do a lot with her mother,” Eric responded. “I heard she has a similar affinity over the darkness. It doesn’t help that she has suffered a lot in her past. Gabriel let his ego get the better of him and it triggered her rage. Thank you, by the way.” He looked me in the eye. “You saved his life. Without your power, Ali would have struck him dead.
