Chapter-65

VICTORIA’S POV

‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ That’s exactly what I wanted to shout at my stupidity.

After drowning for five minutes, I finally realized the thing, he was trying to tell me for half an hour. And that was my main element was not fire but water.

Though Fire was my most developed element because I have been comfortable with it and was the first power that made its appearance known to me when I just learned about my magic, water has always been the power that has protected me since my birth.

Closing my eyes, I opened my palms wide before swirling them in the water, making a hurricane and controlling it.

‘Well, that was easy.’ I thought, however, my moment of happiness was cut short when the water started drowning me more.

“You can do it, Victoria. You can control it.” I heard Daniel’s voice drowning me.

I was trying. I wanted to say, but I know I can’t open my mouth, or the little bit of air I had been able to gather will be gone, and I will start suffocating again.

‘The power of water. The power of water that has addressed me as their witch and controller, I call onto them to show me the way and pave the path for me.’ I said before trying to control the water around me again.

It was angry, I could make that from their not-so-soft water splashes that felt more like hard slaps. Closing my eyes, I stopped moving my body. I stopped struggling, wanting for them to calm down first. I know I was taking a big risk here, but I needed this. I know I need them to trust me and want to know that I trust them, and this was the best way for that. I was surrendering my life.

They have always protected me from all the life-threatening situations, and I know they won’t just let me die.

“I surrender my life to you. I want you to trust me as I do with you. I know you are angry for I didn’t trust you enough and rather used the fire element to protect me, but you should know that every element is important to me just like you. I can’t ignore anyone.

I chanted in my mind as a smile made its way onto my face when the splash started to reduce.

I was about to open my eyes to see if they were calming down or not. However, before I could do that, I was thrown out of the lake, making me land on the ground harshly.

“Thank god, Victoria,” Ashton said from somewhere close to me.

“Don’t walk closer to her,” Daniel shouted and I guess he was too slow to say that because the next thing I know, Ashton was sent flying to the other side.

How do I know that when my eyes are closed? Well, Ashton made a very unpleasant sound when he was sent flying, and I couldn’t help but smile before coughing out some water that went in my lungs, which was paired with some of my blood.

“I think my ribs are broken,” I said feeling a sudden pain in my back, unable to move.

“The fight is not over yet,” Daniel said, and I opened my eyes to look at him with disbelief.

How can he even say that when I am practically telling him that I am unable to move?

“How could you,” I started but my words were cut short when he started using the ground element and the roots of the trees started moving towards me, hitting me in the back.

“This is just a training session, isn’t it? And here you are hurting me like the king of the dark witches you are!” I shouted as I fell on the ground after trying for the umpteenth time to stand.

I know it was just a matter of time till my powers will heal me, and this pain was until then only. Raising my hands, I made large swords of water and cut every root that was heading my way.

That was the least I could do sitting here like this, and if not for the pain, it was fun to do.

‘Someone is trying to locate us through the locator spell,’ I heard Jasmine say, making me squint my eyes as the root went through my arm and a shrill scream left my mouth.

Seeing the blood that was oozing out of my hand, I looked at Daniel, and judging from his expression, I knew he didn’t expect that to happen either.

“Victoria, I,” he started before raising his hand in the air, and the roots that were heading towards my way immediately stopped, and retreated to their original positions.

“Why the hell would you do that for?” Ashton screamed as he walked towards me with wary steps.

However, I was done with their fake protective attitude. This was just the first day of training, and they had already beaten me black and blue. I was angry at them, and I couldn’t help but feel annoyance building inside me. Something so strong that it was scaring me.

Keep calm. I chanted inside my head, but it felt like my powers have their mind now. They were trying to overtake me, and the thought of what daniel had said regarding me turning into Madeline started appearing in my head which made me panic more.

Closing my eyes, I raised my hands in the air as a sudden surge of energy flow inside me.

‘Die mir weh tun, ich habe sie mehr verletzt.’ I chanted even though I didn’t want to, and as soon as I said those words. The fire from my right hand and the water from my left hand made a circle around me before lifting me in the air.

“Daniel, I don’t know what is happening to me,” I shouted, wanting him to help me.

However, I didn’t expect him to help me like that.

Dark energy surged through around him, and before I know I was thrown on the other side for the umpteenth time today, but this time it was a little different.

I had cuts all over my body, through which a heavy amount of blood was oozing.

“Victoria!” I heard someone said and though I was drifting into the dark slumber, I could make out that the voice belonged to Alexander.

But the question was, what was he doing here?
