The Woman In Charge
|
Emily stood stock still and closed her eyes. Tilting her head slightly, she tried to hear the trees 'whispering' and sighed as the wind moved through them. She had begun extending her gifts beyond the electric currents and shock waves she had been born with, and found this time she spent with the trees was the best for channeling her energy and concentrating her gifts. Emily had been a great student, which was why it had been no surprise she had become a teacher, and less of a surprise still that she had become headmaster. No one was worried when Emily was in charge, because Emily was suppose to be in control, she was the woman everyone turned to. But she was finding it harder and harder to maintain her position and keep the townspeople calm. Everyday new people kept coming and disturbing their way of life, and Emily was finding it difficult to focus. Shock waves had been coming from her without her control, and more than once the power in her home had shorted out. Blocking all this from her mind, Emily brought her head upright and opened her eyes, focusing on the bright red box she had placed about thirty feet in front of her. bringing her arms up, Emily focused everything she had on lifting the box. It shuddered and began to move, before being crushed by the shear force of the energy. letting go, Emily groaned and tried to catch her breathe. That kind of concentration could take a lot out of a person, especially when it wasn't where their natural talent lay. rubbing her neck, Emily stilled when a few twigs behind her snapped, indicating that she wasn't alone. Stilling herself, Emily went on to high alert and prepared herself to spin around and knock whoever it was off their feet. Unless of course she recognized them before she reacted, but the way things had been going, there was little chance she would be able to control the waves that threatened to burst forth even with her intense concentration. |
