Ells' POV
I can't believe it. I did it.

"I actually did it..." I mumbled, looking at the glowing, sparkling, warm Magic placed in my hands.

Mr. Coal looked with awe, and said, "Yeah... you did."

All we could do was stare into my purple creation.

But, this feeling. The Magic feeling in my hands. I've felt it before.

Dad.

He would've loved this... He would've smiled so brightly that the whole room would be sparkling with amazingness!

Oh Dad... you don't know how much I miss you...

"Yeah..." I said, as the Lunar Sphere slowly disappeared out of my hands.

For a split second, you could see the four elements separating, slowly fading away into the air. Like when you can see your breath in the coldness of Winter.

Then, Mrs. Kuro walked in, and watched as the last little bit of the Lunar Sphere disappeared into the air.

She sounded as if everything was ok, but her face told me otherwise.

"Ells, dear? Can you please wait out in the hallway for just a moment while I talk to Mr. Coal?"

I nodded, as I walked out into the hallway, shutting the door behind me.

I went and processed all of my thoughts for a few minutes, so I didn't go and break out in tears again.

That's when the yelling started.

I couldn't make out much of what they were saying, but it was clear that Mrs. Kuro and Mr. Coal weren't happy.

I put my ear closer to the door and tried to make out what they were saying.

"Connor, why didn't you wait until I was in the room?! You know, more then anyone, that she is important! What would I have done if she exploded?!"

"Pitchi, calm down. Don't worry, she wouldn't have exploded. Especially with her power, and her... heritage."

"Just... please don't do it again."

"But, Pi-"

"Please."

Mr. Coal sighed, as if he knew he had lost this battle against her.

"Alright. Look, Pitchi. I... I'm sorry."

"It's fi-"

"No, I mean... I'm sorry, about us. About him."

Us? Him? So many questions rattle in my brain, as I try to figure out what they were talking about.

Was us referring to them? As in, them them?

And, him? I have no idea what that means...

"Look, you don't need to apologize. What matters is that we continue with the mission at hand..."

"Yeah, right." Mr. Coal agreed, as I heard footsteps walking towards the door.

I quickly walk away from the door, and sit nearby, trying to look like I had no care in the world about what they were taking about.

They opened the door, and I walked back inside.

For the rest of class, Mrs. Kuro and Mr. Coal didn't say a word to eachother. But, they told me to try and make another one of those Lunar Spheres.

But, I'm not doing so well on that...

That one time must've just been beginner's luck, because I can't seem to do it anymore.

But why, is the question. What did I do last time that I can't do now? My head is pounding with stress, and my hands are shaking slightly.

When the bell rang, I quickly said goodbye and walked into my room, feeling a mix of happy, sad, and terrified.

A/N: Hey guys. I am dealing with some stuff right now, but, I felt bad if I left you guys hanging much longer. (I swear, it was tearing me apart.) So, here's a chapter.
Until I can get things settled, I probably won't be publishing every single day. Once again, I am terribly sorry, and I hope you can forgive me...
