around me.
    “I’m sorry I knocked you into the wall, Miss,” I called out to her, feeling a little more than insecure about this whole situation as I turned to walk back to my room so I could put on some real clothes and find out what I should do.
    “Hey !” the woman called out to me from down the hall. I stopped and turned to face her again.
    “I’m sorry I bit your head off, rough time for us all ,” she said as she turned to walk away again before I could even respond.
    I turned to walk back to my area. I sighed as I made it back into my room, grabbing my jeans and Doc Martin lace up calf high boots.
    I loved these things. They were comfortable casual and stylish. I grabbed a tank top and combed my waist length hair pulling it up into a pony tail.
    I walked over to the pool cupping water in my hands to wash my face and brush my teeth. It was time to find out if I was trainable.
    I could see groups of men and women training outside the cave complex in a large field surrounded by a forest.
    Seeing Jasper with Ben and Blain, I began to make my way towards them.
    Out of nowhere I heard shouts, looking around to see who was shouting at who when I seen what looked a lightning bolt, traveling horizontally, and it was heading directly for my face.
    Everything seemed to move in slow motion, I could see people running toward me screaming, motioning and gesturing with their hands.
    I could see Jasper who was screaming my name.
    I could hear it cutting through the air sizzling as it went, but it wasn’t lightning at all, it was an arrow.
    I sat my right leg back slightly behind me, putting myself into a defensive stance. Closing my eyes and trusting in the sensations my gifts were giving me.
    I put my hands up feeling the air currents and forcing the air currents to change sending the arrow straight up; bringing my right leg even with my left, clapping my hands together above me releasing my own lightning in the form of electromagnetic currents shooting the lightening infused arrow, blasting it to smithereens.
    The gasp and awe of what I did hadn’t even registered to me.
    I was still dragging myself back to the surface, back to reality.
    I hadn’t even realized exactly what I had done other than trust in the gifts I had been given and just reacting to the situation at hand.
    Jasper rushed me, lifting me off the ground crushing me to him. “Oh my god, I thought you were dead. Are you ok?” He said as he sat me down, pushing me at arm’s length to look assess me for injuries.
    “I’m fine. What was that arrow infused with anyway?” I asked him.
    “You shouldn’t have been able to stop that. No one can ,” Jasper said still shocked.
    “I don’t understand what you mean ,” I said as I walked toward everyone else who still stood dumbstruck.
    “Girl, what did you do?” Ben asked.
    “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to mess up your training. I didn’t know where I was going I just knew there was training going on out here and I couldn’t seem to find anyone not even my mom,” I said.
    “Your mom is going to be busy with Bethany for a bit, she said to tell you she’d see you at dinner ,” Ben said as he walked us back toward the long tent set up center in the field.
    “ Okay.” “So what’d you do?  I thought you hadn’t trained,” Ben said.
    “I haven’t, ever ,” I paused, thinking of exactly what I did and smiled. 
    “I just did what my body wanted to do, that’s all. I trusted myself, my gifts, enough to do what I already wanted to even if I didn’t know it. I felt the arrow cutting through the air, I thought it was lightening of some kind at first, I’ve never seen anything like that before, well I could feel the arrow inside the lightening or energy or whatever it was. I could feel its weight and the rotation of it as it cut through the air, I pushed the air currents up forcing the arrow up, and I don’t know after that. I’d never done anything like that before ,” I told Ben, as Jasper
