Chapter 41: Air

BPOV:

I took Charlie's hand as we walked back, saying, "That took a lot out of them. I just helped them out a little. I know you didn't know about that, yet, but I'm not keeping things from you. I just haven't had the time to tell you everything yet. I need to explain Phoenix to you, as well as the baseball game before I left to Phoenix. That's where all this shit with Victoria started. Please wait until we break for lunch, then we'll sit down to talk about it. Edward and Jasper would be able to tell it best, though. We need to get going now, or I'll never get any work done. Let's meet up with the elders."

He smiled and followed me to the shady spot under a tree on the far side of the clearing.

My mates were in full view. A quick check found everything calm and us well protected. Sam saw me do this, then nodded, "You will make a great leader, Sister. I trust that all is well? I watched you check on your mates, then the rest of the members gathered, do a head count, and check on your protections."

The other elders smiled as I answered, "Yes, I did all that. It comes as instinct to me. Especially lately... making sure we're all accounted for with no injuries, seeing that my mates are within eyesight and easily reachable, making sure we're safe, feeling there's no threat... I dread the alarm going off in my head."

I plopped down with my back against the tree, then continued, "Each time the threat alarm has gone off inside me, I've had to end someone's existence.”

I frowned, thinking about it, then said, “I don't relish taking a life, even if those lives mean me or my mates harm. I will do what it takes to keep us safe, though. If ending one life or several is what it takes to accomplish that, so be it."

Sam nodded, "Ending a life is never easy, but you can't let that mark your soul, if the life was taken to protect you or your loved ones. Do what you need to and move forward, Sister. It's the only way you can get through this and stay sane. Are you ready for today's lesson?"

I smiled. "Can I show Charlie the flowers first, please?"

Sue nodded, "It will help give him an idea of the lesson yesterday. I know you gifted energy to the sisters... do you have any extra left, or would you like to draw?"

I fluidly moved into my lotus position, placing my hands in the plush grass. "I will need to draw. Should I do the whole field or just a radius... say 10 feet?"

Quill responded, "A ten foot radius sounds perfect Young One."

I nodded, smiled, and closed my eyes. I drew enough energy for what I needed to do, then I pictured the same flowers as yesterday filling a ten foot radius from the tree I was sitting against. I stood, then twirled in a circle while whispering, "Grow for me.”

I let the energy flow from me to the earth, making the flowers grow tall and strong. When I was at my normal level again, I stopped twirling, opened my eyes, then looked at Charlie.

He was beaming. I picked a small flower before handing it to Charlie. "It's so beautiful, Bells. Truly a wonderful sight."

I bowed with a smile, then returned to my lotus position with my hands on my knees. Sue began. "Air can take many forms... a light breeze that flutters, a rocking wind in a thunderstorm, or a raging whirlwind in a tornado. These are just a few. You need to keep in mind that energy changes direction quickly sometimes, just as the mind can go from one topic to another at the blink of an eye. It is easy to get caught up in the change, lose focus of the whole picture, and end up lost. This is why your internal tornado makes you feel lost to everything but your Major. The wind shifting and constantly changing... you're concentrating so much on the shifts and changes, that you forget you control those shifts and changes.”

I nodded for her to continue, so she said, “You have the power to change those things, to wield the elements, bend them as you wish. We will only go so far until your turning, but we can get you used to how things work and what has you stuck, so that when you turn, we can fight through those barriers. You know how to release energy over a period of time, so let's get started. Draw energy from the air to fill you about 3/4 of your max level. When you reach that, I want you to slowly release the energy, trying to clear the debris pile that's in the direct center of the field. This was one of your visions. Let's see what it looks like in real life, shall we?"

I nodded, then we all made our way to the edge of the flower patch. They stayed behind me, so I closed my eyes to focus. I felt the air's energy and my arms automatically came up in a V. I started drawing, watching the level. Soon I was at the 3/4 mark. I let my hands drop to my sides, then opened my eyes.

I walked forward slowly, concentrating on the vision of the debris clearing out of my way. My hands came out in front of me, clapping together to close. As I got close to the debris, I slowly started opening my hands and arms to act as a parting guide, picturing the debris clearing at that rate, ending with the last of the excess energy clearing the last of the debris.

It happened exactly as I pictured, the debris flying up out of the way, then landing in the grass 20 feet away on either side of me. When I got through the last of the debris and my energy level was normal, I turned to face the elders with a smile.

They all clapped for me, then I heard cheers and whistles on the other end of the field.
I curtsied toward them before turning back to the elders and Charlie. Quil said, "Very good. Now split each debris pile in half."

I looked at him sheepishly, "I used all of the energy to move it the first time. Would you like me to draw again or try to do it without drawing? Also, how do you want them split... any energy or air energy?"

Quil smiled. "Very good catch, Young One. You were never told to save any of the excess, so you released it all. You asked before you attempted something you had never done before. Draw and use earth energy, but try to split the piles in half equally without losing any in craters or canyons."

I smiled wryly, "You didn't say I couldn't use them... just not to lose any of the pile into them."

He nodded with his own smirk, so I plopped into the grass. I called for Jasper to make sure that all of them stayed at that end of the field, then I looked up to my group. "You might want to gather near the tree."

They all backed up quickly toward the tree as I centered in on the earth's energy.

I closed my eyes, picturing the energy filling me to 3/4 full again. When I was at that level, I placed my fingers deep into the dirt. I pictured the earth peaking up through the exact center of each debris pile, moving the debris to either side of it, then the peak splitting open, the earth moving to separate the piles further. I pictured losing nothing of the debris to the open earth, then let the energy flow. I pictured the final piles as I wanted them, me at my normal level when it was complete.

I opened my eyes, then watched as the ground shook beneath the field. With the tips of my middle fingers together in front of me, I slowly peaked them into a mountain shape, the earth moving with my hands. I slowly parted my hands, then the earth separated to make a six foot deep ditch between the peaks.

When the piles were where I pictured the finished vision, I released my hands, knowing I was at my normal level. I jumped up immediately, then ran to the piles, checking both ditches to make sure no debris fell into either one.

When I saw I was in the clear, I twirled and giggled, making the air flutter. Jasper was next to me in a second, picking me up, twirling me around. I giggled louder, causing a whole 30 foot radius of air to flutter like butterflies. Charlie laughed as Sue explained, then I yelled loudly, "I did it!"

Everyone cheered, running to see my finished work.

Char kissed me slowly, then I thought I heard Charlie snicker behind me. She danced in the breeze with me for a few minutes, twirling and giggling, then we both fell into the patch of flowers. She kissed my forehead, "I'm so proud of you, Sweetness."

Peter hiked me over his shoulder after a second, slapping my ass lightly. I squealed playfully, which caused the breeze to pick up before shuddering. Hmm, that's new.

He set me down, kissed me, then said, "No more playin' for you, Kitten. Back to work ya go."

I smirked as I said, "Bite me, Whitlock."

He snapped at me playfully, offering in a husky tone, "Later, Kitten, later. That's a promise."

I moaned, my spine tingling suggestively. Jasper raised an eyebrow at me, so I nodded. He kissed me quickly, then ran after Char and Peter.

The wolves and family were all back over there already. I turned toward the elders. "What's next?"

Billy said, "Let's see how you do making the air swirl and lift each individual pile. None on the piles are to touch, nor can any of the debris can end up in the ditches. The earth must stay where it is, peaks and all.”

"Damn, Billy. Way to set a challenge. Cool. Draw air energy, right?"

He nodded, then motioned for me to begin.

My arms went up as I closed my eyes. I drew about 3/4 full of energy again, trying to think about what I wanted. I wanted little mini tornadoes for all four piles. I pictured the earth staying in its same exact form, but the debris swirling into the small tornadoes above each pile. Once all the debris was inside each tornado, they would swirl for a minute, then slowly let each piece down to where it first laid. None would fall or land in the ditches, and none of the tornadoes would touch.

I opened my eyes and kissed both of my index and middle fingers. I made the number two in front of me with both hands while picturing the tornadoes, slowly releasing the energy as I started swirling them at my wrist level. The wind picked up, started swirling, but something went wrong. It wasn't right.

Not right... I can't control this much. Not yet. Too much... too big.. help! Shit... no. Not now.

Then I felt my eyes change and my breathing pick up. The tornadoes swirled into one big one, causing my breathing to hitch. I heard the elders and Charlie in the background, but I couldn't understand. All I could see and hear was the huge tornado in front of me that was steadily gathering the debris and earth together.

I dropped to my knees, screamed out at the chaos I felt everywhere around me.

I instantly saw the most beautiful gold eyes in front of me. He grabbed my chin, then forced me to look at him.

"Isabella, look at me," my Major said firmly.

My eyes snapped to his. "Tell me where we are and why we're here. Now, Isabella."

I thought, "Sir, field. Training. Too much. Chaos."

My eyes strayed to the tornado, which was still growing. "Damnit, Isabella. Rules. Eyes on me, remember?"

He was angry now. "Yes, Major."

My eyes snapped back to his. "Listen closely and hear me well, Isabella. Charlie and the elders... they're here in the field with us. If we don't get the tornado to go away, they'll get hurt. Charlie will get hurt. Ya don't want anything bad to happen to them, do ya?"

My eyes widened in fright, "Sir! No, they can't get hurt. I can't lose them. Please. Help. Me!"

He stood me up, then told me to close my eyes. I did, so he told me to picture the rest of the excess energy making the tornado smaller and smaller until it just poofed away. He wasn't touching me. I needed to feel him. "Please, Major. Can you hold me?"

He wrapped his arms around me from behind, "Picture it now, Isabella, before it hurts someone ya love. See the tornado as ya release the energy, picture it gettin’ smaller.... smaller... even smaller...."

I did as he asked, then finally I pictured it poofing away. He told me to open my eyes. I saw the tornado was gone, debris scattered on the ground not ten feet in front of me. The problem was, my internal tornado was getting worse. "Too much. Not enough... need too much... pretty pink..."

Major picked me up as he told them we were going to the cabin... to make sure to give us a wide berth with the guards. Six wolves came behind us, then stopped and split off.

Major took us directly in through the bedroom door, saying, "Tell me your biggest need right now, Isabella. Let Major help ya."

He stripped us of our clothes quickly. I moaned as I said, "Pretty pink marks. Nipples. Pretty pink marks. Ass. Pretty pink marks... licks... round shaking inside. Please Major. Need pretty pink... "

Before I could finish, I felt the flogger against my ass several times. I moaned at the feeling of the leather striping my flesh. He licked the marks, eliciting my cry of, "More, Sir... Please!"

He roughly nipped at the marks. In response, I shuddered and whimpered.

He stood back up, took the flogger to the rest of my ass and the backs of my thighs, then dropped to his former position. He roughly licked and nipped at my thighs, then said into my sensitive flesh, "Tell me, Isabella. Tell me what my pretty pink marks feel like against your skin."

I moaned, whimpering as he licked and nipped, my answer coming out like a pornstar in heat. "Hot and sensitive, Major. Pain and pleasure mix. Major's Isabella shudders... anticipation. Major licks roughly, perfectly. His Isabella wants to cum for him. Pain and pleasure. Pain and pleasure. More, Sir? Please?"

He nipped both of my ass cheeks, then licked them eagerly. I moaned loudly, "Ungh... please, Sir. Please."

He doused my mark heavily, I whimpered in need. He slipped the egg into me, pressed it toward my aching spot, then turned it on as he whispered, "Cum for me, Isabella.”

Major licked roughly and nipped against my elements. My legs shuddered, giving out as my head fell back, then I screamed as I came.

"Fuck, yes, Isabella. Mmm, ya don't know how erotic it is to watch ya gush for me."

He spread my legs wider, pressed the egg further against my secret spot, smacking the pretty pink marks on my ass while biting down on his hand print.

I screamed out, "Fuck! Yes, Major. More, please. So much more!"

He let go of his bite, then immediately smacked the same spot again. I cried out, begging, "Please may I cum, Sir?"

He bit down in the same spot again, harder, then licked it harshly. My walls quivered, causing me to moan loudly, "Please, Major. Please may I cum for you?"

He doused my elements in his venom, bit down on his element, licked the skin between his teeth, then tapped the egg harshly against my spot. I screamed out hoarsely as I came, hearing his permission just as my orgasm started, releasing repeatedly for my Major while begging for more at the same time.

He let go of the bite, doused it with his venom, and flattened his tongue against it, thrusting me through another orgasm.

He pulled the egg out before flipping me onto the bed on my back, thrusting into me deeply while I was still in the middle of the last orgasm. I ground against him, begged him to crop me as he fucked me. He licked my juices from the egg, coated it in his venom, then said, "I'll crop ya if ya tell me to push this egg deep into your ass. Tell me, Isabella, and I'll crop ya while I fuck ya senseless. Tell me, and I'll let ya cum as many times as ya possibly can... no waitin' for permission."

I whimpered in anticipation as my arousal tripled, the sudden need making my hips arch up for him. "Push the egg deep into my ass, crop me, and fuck me senseless, Major. Please. I want you to so much. I need you to. Please, Major."

He lifted one of my legs while withdrawing his cock. Dropping down so his face was level with my clit, he licked from there to my ass, coating it with venom. He pushed two fingers deep into my rear entrance, withdrew them, then added another. When he had all three seated, he slowly opened them inside me before starting a deep, slow rhythm. He placed the egg on my clit, pressing down as he fucked my ass with his fingers. The faster and deeper his fingers went, the more I wanted.

I whimpered for more, so he thrust the egg and three fingers from his other hand deep into my pussy. He latched onto my clit, biting down. I begged and pleaded for more. He slowly added another finger to my pussy, pressing the egg and all of his fingers to the thin wall separating the fingers of his two hands.

The thrusting got deeper, the vibrating had me quaking. He flicked my clit one final time, finally making me fall over that blissful edge again. Tears of pleasure fell from my eyes as I pleaded for him to fuck me.

Mid orgasm, he pushed the egg deep into my ass, thrust his cock into my soaked pussy, and flicked the crop roughly against both of my nipples. My back arched off the bed as all of the sensations hit me. I screamed out at the excruciatingly heightened pleasure. The egg felt like it was making my whole body vibrate, plus my body shaking like a leaf didn't help any. "Fuck, Major. Deeper, please. Go as deep as you can. I need to feel every single bit of your cock ramming into me. Please, fuck me hard. Fuck me so hard I don't remember my name. Please, Sir."

He had me wrap my arms around my legs, doubling me up, then positioned himself to hit my secret spot every time he thrust. When he got seated, he would rotate his hips to squeeze in that much further. He started a hard and deep rhythm. Every time he thrust, he would make the egg vibrate even more in my ass. "Christ, Isabella. So fuckin' tight... so hot... so wet for me. Fuck, I need ya to gush for me while I cum deep into your tight, sweet li'l pussy, Isabella. Fuckin' cum. For. Me. Now!"

My shield snapped into place glowing silver, wind rushed through the room to swirl around us, then I screamed through the multiple orgasm he set off. He tugged my nipples hard, causing me to cry out a string of profanities. He bit the soft spot on my ankle before licking the mark roughly, sending me into another orgasm.

The silver light was so bright that it was blinding. I lost my voice somewhere along the line, but I pulled him further into me, grinding to have him deep inside me while my mouth held a silent scream. I felt his cool seed deep inside me, which triggered yet another orgasm. We rode it out looking deep into each other's eyes.

When we finally calmed down, he whispered. "I love ya so fuckin' much, Isabella."

I closed my eyes, snuggled into his neck, nipping gently as I croaked, "I love you too, My Major... always."

I opened my eyes as I felt them changing, so he watched the transformation of color.

"Hey there, Darlin'. How are you now?"

I smiled softly as I pointed to my mouth, zipping it shut. He nodded, "I know, Sugar. We really need to find a way for you not to lose your voice every time we have sex. You'll end up permanently losing it one of these times. Let me draw a tub with some soaking salts in it. You need to soak, or you won't be able to sit for the rest of the day."

He kissed me slow and sweet, gently removed the egg, then slowly withdrew and set my legs down one by one. He kneaded both hips to help ease them from the position I was in, then kissed my stomach before dashing to the bathroom.

I heard him filling and swishing the tub, then he dashed out of the room all together, but was back in seconds with two big bars of chocolate and three waters. He picked me up in his arms gently, then carried me, the chocolate, and the waters to the bathroom.

He set everything else down before standing me in front of him, holding my weight so I wouldn't fall. He reached into the cupboard, pull out a couple pills, handing them and a water to me. "Here, Darlin'. Take these, drink the water. It will help you not be so sore from the marks.”

He leaned over to stop the tub water, then picked up the chocolates and the other waters, setting them on the tub deck. He picked me back up, then slid us both gently into the tub.

I hissed as the hot water touched my sensitive flesh, flinching as it hit ass level. He said softly, "I know it stings, but it'll make you feel a lot better. You'll be able to move around more, Darlin'. Do you want to talk about earlier?"

I hugged myself tight to him, whimpering in a barely audible breath, "Not yet. Not ready. Promise I will soon."

Jasper placed several kisses along my shoulder and neck, then he whispered, "You're cycle's been done since before we left this morning. When we all tasted you in the night, that was the last. Did you really not mind us taking care of that for you in the night?"

I shook my head slightly as I eased a bit further into the water, taking a few more sips of the water. I breathed, "I didn't mind at all. Right now it's the closest thing to me feeding you as I'll be able to get. You took care of me in the night by doing that, but in a weird way, I felt like I was also taking care of my three mates the best way I knew how."

He tilted my head up to his, looking as if he would cry. He leaned in slowly to trace my bottom lip with his tongue. I moaned, opening to him immediately. Our tongues tangled together in a sensual dance all their own. We kissed for quite a while with neither of us taking it any further.

When the kiss slowed to a stop, he moved to my shoulder, placing several small kisses along the length. He whispered into my flesh, "That is the most loving thing anyone has ever done for any of us three. To know that you want us to feed from you... that you want to be able to nourish us... it's so special, Darlin'. More special than I could ever explain."

I thought for a minute, then said softly, "I found some other things out while sleeping. They were just drifting glimpses of visions, but I caught them. I want to talk to the three of you about them before we tell the family."

He nodded, then kissed my shoulder again as he traced up my spine with his fingertips. I wanted to stay with him like this, but I also missed Char and Peter. "I know, Darlin'. I miss them too, but I feel like I could stay here in this tub with you forever."

I nodded. That was exactly how I felt. All of the sudden, a piercing scream left me. I doubled over, panting. "Shit... La... Push!"

I dashed to get my phone, my head swirling. I managed to dial Jake. "Get the wolves to the Northeastern perimeter of the rez, NOW! There's three, and they intend on slaughtering the whole fucking place!"

I hung up before flinging on clothes. Jasper was dressed and helping me before I even got my thong completely on.

Fuck, that alarm is strong.

I clutched my head with a loud groan. He finished helping me dress, then we dashed out the door, grabbing my phone on the way. He carried me bridal-style as to not aggravate my legs and ass. We were at the field in no time.

Just as I reached Peter and Char, I scanned the field, then felt a piercing pain again, my shields automatically snapping into place around my mates and I. I looked to the elders and Charlie, "Get inside my shield, NOW! Jake take whoever you need and GO! Western border of the protection. Four, and their trying to get through my mental blocks. GO, NOW! And make sure you burn every piece!"

I doubled over and screamed, clutching my head as another alarm screeched through my brain cells. "FUCK! JAKE!"

He skidded to a stop and sent the others ahead. "Did you send a few wolves to Charlie's?"

He barked an agreement. "South perimeter. Two intent on killing. Stay here so I can give you more info if I need to."

I had never left my doubled over state. Jasper, Char and Peter were all stroking and soothing me. It was helping to keep me calm. "Fuck... one of those alarms is piercing enough, but three is killing my damn head. I made the alarms too strong or something. They're testing our weaknesses. Trying to attack all of our fronts at once."

This is the last shit I needed to deal with right now. I need to recover.

"SHIT! Jake, the fuckers at Charlie's are playing with the wolves. Have them circle around either side of the house separately, toward the big shed at the back of the property, then they'll be able to get them. Make sure all the wolves note the faces of the ones they're up against. We need to know how old they are. That'll give us an idea of what we're working with. Make the ones at the rez get the ring that looks like it's an ancient heirloom, and the ones here get the necklace that looks like a goth victorian piece. They must not let those burn. There's something about them. I feel like we have to take them to the shaman, Peter. Unghh... Christ, this sucks."

I moaned, clutching my head tighter. Char kissed up my spine. I calmed more, the pain easing slightly. "Don't stop... that helps," I panted.

I felt two more sets of lips on my body as my legs gave out. They caught me, then gently sat me straddling Jasper's lap. Peter and Jasper took to kissing my shoulders, with Char continuing with my spine. I placed my hands in the grass. Automatically I started drawing energy, even though I didn't try to.

No, I'm not drawing it... the earth is sending it to me. It's sensing my needs.

I mentally stroked the earth as it fed me energy. My mates continued their attention to my shoulders and spine. The energy didn't stop flowing until I felt a significant lightening of the pressure inside my head. "The wolves at Charlie's are done now. None even have a scratch on them. They're gloating."

My hands were still stroking the grass. Every so often, I felt another burst of energy fill me. "The rez is fine, too. None on our side hurt. They got the items in the nick of time, too."

I felt another burst of energy... a big one. I let out a breath, “Tanya needs a finger reattached, but other than that, we're good here. Someone needs to bring a small doe to Tanya to take the edge off while her finger reattaches. Edward found out something from the mind of one of the vampires. They're on their way back, but Tanya, Kate, Emmett, and Edward are going to get the deer for her and let her feed before she comes into the field. She doesn't want to feed in front of you all… risk offending you."

I slumped against Jasper, my mates continuing their attention, then the final pierce in my head stopped. My shield collapsed, and I relaxed into the feeling of my mates. "All over... every piece is purple smoke."

I took a deep breath, hearing cheers erupting from the elders and Charlie. I was still nowhere near my normal level... the piercing alarms in my head and the episode draining me severely.

I whimpered as my mates redoubled their efforts. Tears were silently falling from my eyes. Charlie knelt beside me, using his thumb to remove my fallen tears. "Don't cry, Princess. All of us are okay. I know your tired and hurting, Bells. Just rest. We’ll all take care of you now."

As my eyes slid closed, the tears still fell, then I whispered brokenly, "I love you, Daddy."

I didn't even have enough energy left in me to draw from the elements. I felt the sudden panic around me, but couldn't open my eyes. I knew I needed severe amounts of energy, but I couldn't do anything.

I suddenly felt energy from all around me pouring into me... like a waterfall dumps into a lake. They all felt different. They were my vampire family. They were all sending me energy... but how?

I felt the soft mothering energy of Esme, the hyper fluttering energy of Alice, the protective fierce energy of Rose, the goofy big brother energy of Emmett, the compassionate energy of Carlisle, and the protective yet playful energy of Edward. Not the old Edward I knew, but the new Edward I'm just getting to know.

I let it soak in, but it was like they cycled. I would soak in some energy from one at a time, then when I had gotten from all of them, it would start all over.

I felt my energy slowly returning, but I was being flooded with energy. I looked to see why it was taking so long, and realised that I was so low on energy before they gave to me, that my heart wasn't stable. I concentrated on making my heart beat a steady rhythm.

When it finally did, the energy flooded through me at an alarming rate. I internally checked the bonds with my mates, giving them each a small dose of the energy I was receiving. They immediately looked better, so I did it again. They looked perfect now, so I wrapped them in my love, then resumed soaking the energy up. I felt the tingle of venom, automatically recognising it as belonging to my mates.

I was getting better by the second. The sounds of the ancient language of the Quileute tribe floated to my ears on a song. That's how they're sending me the energy. The elders are doing an energy transfer.

I softly started humming the melody, then heard gasps all around. The elders and I didn't stop yet.

Soon I felt that I could open my eyes. They fluttered open. I saw two red and one amber set of eyes immediately in my field of vision. They all had the pearly-clear look of venom streaming down their cheeks.

Are they... crying?

I wiped the venom from Peter and Char's faces, then Jasper's, as I continued to hum the melody of the Quileute song.

When the song died out, my humming did too. My mates scrambled to hold me to them, begging me never to do that again. I knew they were talking about my heart. I cried with them for several minutes, then softly said, "I won't let it happen again. Even if I have to stay completely full of energy until I turn. I didn't know. I didn't realise they were so demanding."

I placed kisses all over each of their faces, then slowly turned my head to my family. I whispered softly, "Thank you all for giving me part of your survival energy. I could tell whose was whose. Thank you, my family. Without it, I wouldn't be here right now."

They all looked like they could cry, but no tears were coming. I snuggled into my mates for a second, then whispered, "I really need to draw energy. I'm still weak, plus I think I should talk to the elders. I need to know if I should draw all four."

Jasper quickly called the elders. When they were near, I explained, "The alarms draw from my energy. I didn't realise until the threat was over, when my eyes were already closed. I was so focused on the pain in my head, I just didn't notice. I think I need to stay at max energy until we figure this out, but do you think I should draw from all the elements, or just draw from earth?"

They debated for a split second, then Quil stated, "No matter which alarm goes off, we know it will draw earth energy from you. Fill with your natural earth energy. It will be the most stable for you.”

I nodded as I asked my mates to help me get in position. They helped me to sit in the grass in my lotus position, then I placed my hands in the soft grass. I closed my eyes, feeling the energy.

As I drew, I prayed that there wouldn't be any negative side effects to being filled completely with energy while I was still in this state of being. My prayer came instinctively.

I said it aloud in Latin. I don't know how I could suddenly speak Latin, but I could.

I felt the constant flow of the energy rushing into me, knowing I was a little over half full then.

My prayer kept repeating.

When I hit the 3/4 mark, my eyes shot open. Everyone gasped, but remained where they were.

My prayer came faster.

The instant I hit the full mark, my prayer stopped, and so did the energy flow.

It was weird, I knew I was full to the brim of energy, but I didn't feel full. I didn't feel the need to spend the energy. This is a good thing.
