Morgan pov.
I stare at the woman in front of me in the mirror and try hard to see myself in her, but I can't. The Morgan from two days ago is gone, replaced by this blood hungry being in front of me. My eyes are shining in their metallic opulence and the silver streak down the middle of my hair seems to be glowing. I can feel Casey just beneath my skin. She's been there since the moment I opened my eyes and found Rain looking at me. A steady companion, keeping my body buzzing and feeding the anger inside of me, much to her own pleasure. I can feel Rain here to. His mark resting on my neck, his essence flowing through my body. His scent around me with every move I make. It's heady and brilliant and it's making me needy for him in the worst way possible.
We haven't left the room in two days. Haven't said anything either. We've been talking with our bodies and while I can't say I'm opposed to it, there are other things that need my attention. I'm much more stable with him next to me, that's for damn sure. I feel less murderous but instead of denying the feeling I'm embracing it, otherwise these people are going to think they can just walk over me forever. I need to rectify that. Starting with Magus and ending with Sinclair and the Commander. I have Casey now so ruining their world isn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The sentinel has given me ideas I've never thought of yet seems too obvious and the first thing I need to do is find Ragna.
"You look beautiful." Rain tells me as he watches me look at myself in the mirror. I look more like the image of Casey I saw in my mind, save the eyes and the hair.
“I look like a Fledgling." I tell him, knowing this to be true. My eyes shift back to their brown color and the silver streak in my hair fades as I feel Casey retreat from the forefront of my mind.
"So that's what you are then?" I frown at his question. "I had my suspicions, but I couldn't be sure. I read about them when I was a child, but the book disappeared along with any other information, if there was any. When they described your father I kind of put the dots together but you..." He trails of, walking over to me with a slight frown on his face. "Are these side effects of being half human?" I shake my head.
"I'm not human. Not anymore. Magnus gave me his magic when I was born. It caused my sentinel to wake up and when we bonded... well. I'm not human." I finish, turning myself around and staring up at him. My gaze finds the crest that formed there after we boded, where I bit him a couple more times than I feel was needed but it's there, it's ancient and it's beautiful, showing he belongs to me. I slide my hand around his neck, lifting myself into my toes as I bring him down so I can kiss him, my need for him simmering inside my belly.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were going through heat." Rain mutters when I land on my feet again, having to use his body to steady myself as the fog of our touch makes me unsteady. I shake my head but don't deny it as I rest myself against his chest, inhaling his scent. A bang on the bedroom door makes me groan and Rain chuckles, kissing my forehead before leading us into the room and across the floor.
"What the hell is happening?" Luca asks, the Fairie looking perplexed as he stares at us. "When did you get a tattoo?" He asks, looking at my mark on Rain's neck.
"It's my mark." I tell him, noticing his wings are tucked against his back. Luca loves flying, always hovering everywhere so seeing him on his feet is a little strange. I'm about to ask him why when images of him bent in the air floods my mind and Casey's guilt floods through our bond. I smirk a little, soothing her as I wrap my magic around Luca and find the cracks in his wings, gently repairing them again.
"Oh, woah." He hisses a bit and then his wings splay out behind him, and he lifts himself into the air.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Sorry about that." I tell him, ignoring his eyes that nearly bulge out of his head. "What are you doing here?" He's silent for a minute, too shocked to say anything until I give him an annoyed look, my magic flaring around me. Rain rests his hands on my waist, calming me down and I sink into him, my magic wrapping around him to keep him anchored to me.
"I was sent to check up on you. We couldn't blink into the room and Magus said there was some kind of block around it keeping anyone from entering. I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Luca finally answers.
"I'm fine." I mutter, wrapping my magic around him as I blink us into the library room where the rest is waiting for us. "Sorry. I'm still getting used to using it." I tell the Fairie when we stumble some. He blinks at me and gives me an absent wave of his hand.
"Rain!" River rushes over to her brother but before she can get to him, I lift her in the air and set her on the other side of the room. She gasps in surprise and Rain chuckles behind me.
"Don't touch what's mine." I glare at the curly-haired girl who glares right back but there's no real heat behind it.
"What's happening?" Benjamin asks and I allow Casey to rise to the surface, seeing the strands of hair that's hanging over my shoulder change into their silver as she takes her place inside of me.
"No, no. This is wrong." Magnus mutters, standing up from his seat and I turn my full attention to him.
"You caused this." I tell him and takes a deep breath before nodding.
"So, I'll fix it." He mutters, his eyes turning the same liquid silver as the same silver streak appears in his hair. Rain bristles from behind me but I'm not worried. I might not know how to fully control my magic, but I do know I am stronger than Magnus and I have an advantage over him. I have something to fight for and if he's so willing to stand in my way of making sure the people I love are safe then I'll gladly kill him.
