“Then you should have fucking told me!” I snatch my arm, rage humming through my teeth and power surging through me. “You fucking tricked me, you tricked all of us!”

“No, I saved you,” she snaps and I stomp, causing a crack to rip through the black marble beneath my feet. The sigil of Lust above my head glows bright as I snatch her up by the neck, ready to rip her fucking head from her body.

“Frank!” Someone calls behind me, maybe Genesis, Pierce or Saint… I don’t fucking know, but I squeeze tight, and fire roars in the room blazing damn hot. It feels as if all the air from the room is sucked out.

“Shit… he’s gonna blow!” I hear Wilder shout. “Somebody stop him!”

“If you want him stopped so bad, you do it!” Gannon shouts.

“Bastard, did you not hear me saysomebody?!That meanssomebodythat’s not me!” Wilder growls.

“FRANK!” I hear my dad as he comes over, placing his hand on my shoulder. It sears him, but he doesn’t move. “Let her down… it’s only three weeks here… for Jessica, it’ll be just a weekend trip. Youneedto get this power under control. You might be pissed, but this was for the best. If you see her like this, shewilldie,” he reasons and I huff, still squeezing her neck, but I grit my teeth and drop her. Father goes over to her and I see his hand is scorched to the bone, but I don’t give a fuck.

I just walk out and slam the door behind me hard enough to make the whole goddamn castle quake.

Going to my room pulling out my Journal…

Day 1:

Dear the Source… I think I’m going to throwup… I broke out in hives last night because she was not next to me… what did I ever do to deserve this? Whatever I did… I'm repenting… God, the Source, or whoever tf you are please stop this torture

“Thank you so much, Director Hall. I look forward to your call.” I hold my hand out and give him a firm shake.

“Oh, I’ll be calling you personally, Ms. Hurts. I look forward to seeing what you can do tomorrow,” he smiles then nods, walking away, and I have to keep myself from freaking out as I text my homegirls about my potential brand deal with the head of a major sports energy drink.
