“Ugh.” A groan from behind the chair had me slapping my hand over my mouth. “Are you trying to kill me, pup?”

“I’m sorry.” I looked at my dad, but he was currently bent over, dying of laughter. “Dad?”

“Did you see how far he fell back?” Tears were trailing down his cheeks as he cackled.

“Rude.” Ronnie stood and dusted off his shirt. “The both of you are rude.”

“I really didn’t mean it to do it.” I turned to my dad. “What did I do wrong?”

“Well, for one thing, you definitely weren’t thinking about the size of the wisp. All your power rushed to fulfil your wish, and it was as big as it could get.” My dad wiped his eyes and his laughter finally trailed off. “But Ronnie, you know it doesn’t cause harm.”

“I know, but I have never seen one that big, and it scared the shit out of me. Sue me.” Ronnie settled back into the chair.

“Try to picture it the size of a softball.” My dad motioned me to try again.

I closed my eyes. “Iccas lumin torcanta.” I pictured the light a lot smaller than before and when I peaked out of my one eye, the light floated silently above my upturned hand.

“Perfect.” My father clapped as Ronnie got up and came closer to me, while my eyes were glued to the light. I was doing this. This was my power. It shone silver and bright. “Now I want you to toss it up in the hair, play with it. Focus on the light and what you can do with it.”

So I followed his instructions. I tossed it up in the air. Almost as if I was playing with a ball and the light followed my command. Ronnie had his nose buried in my neck, and if it was any other man, I might have felt uncomfortable, but this was my uncle.

“Are you having Nix watch the power going to your scent?” Ronnie pulled back and asked.

It was Megan and Nix together, but I nodded. “Yeah. That way, I could focus on this.” I tossed the ball in the air again. Then I focused on making it smaller, then brighter, and each time the light responded to my intentions. “Well, it’s working perfectly. You might have an issue with having Nix watch it constantly, but even earlier, when the light was enormous, there wasn’t a hint of your original scent.” Ronnie nudged his forehead against mine. Proud of you, pup.”

“Thanks Uncle Ronnie.” I turned back to my father, and he was excited.

“This is promising. Now we can spend the rest of the time practicing other spells. When we aren’t working though

My father trailed off and looked a little pained.

“What’s wrong?”

“I know the book is yours, as it was intended for you…but.” My dad looked sad..

“You can take it every night until I leave and copy it into yours.” I offered a solution. I knew I would have to take the book with me, but this way, we both could have a version of the book.

My father looked a little dumbstruck. “That would be amazing.”

you?”

“You didn’t think of that, did you?” Ronnie poked out a finger. “Why Is your daughter smarter

er than yo “She gets her brain from her mother.” My dad grabbed the original book, and his. “You sure?” “Of course.” But I grabbed his arm. “But you have to make me a promise. One you won’t break.”

“Of course, Amy.” My dad had this quizzical look on his face.
