The Fire of Life

chapter eleven
Overwhelming

For the rest of the day Aphrodite and Kodi were trying to figure out how they were going to train me now. It didn't make sense. I mean, why couldn't Aphrodite train me like she normally has? Since no one seemed to be around that wasn't busy, I decided to practice my magic.
I went to my room and started using water. When I lost my concentration for a second all of the water fell into my paint. Because of that I mixed them so that I could use water colors to paint on the statue state of Rosalinda. I only had enough time to paint the hair a dirty blond before Mrs. Money called me down for dinner.
When I got downstairs I saw a table with, like, every kind of food on it. But, the weird thing was, I only saw meat, everything else vanished or something. I saw chicken, turkey, bacon, sausage, meat loaf, pork and hot dogs.
Once we started eating I had 5 servings of each kind of meat, and 0 servings of anything not meat. Then I realized everyone was staring at me. "What?" I asked. "Is something wrong?" In reply Aphrodite handed me a mirror. When I looked at in I was sharp, very sharp, canines. "When I took the evil out of you part of the wolf, from the werewolf, must have stayed."

That night in my dreams weird things happened. "Child, I can help you." I recognized that voice. It was the Ultimate. "For me to help you all you have to do is come on my side." Then I realized I was in the tunnel again, with the Ultimate facing me, on her throne. I turned and ran. When I stopped I was facing the Ultimate again.
"Silly child. You can't run away from this, after all this is in your dream." I looked around frantically, looking for and exit. Then I woke up screaming. Aphrodite ran in my room. "Brooklyn? Brooklyn! Are you OK!? I was about to go eat breakfast when I heard you screaming." Gasping or breath I said, "I'm fine."
A few minutes later we went downstairs to eat. Everyone else had cinnamon flakes and I had leftovers. Meow meow. I turned around to see a cat staring at me. I slight growl started to rise in my throat. Aphrodite ran, she picked up the cat and went into the kitchen to give it something to eat.
About a minute later she appeared from the kitchen. "What's wrong with you?" she asked me. "Its not my fault! Blame the wolf inside me. I'm very fond of cats, actually," I added.

I had lots of trouble training. I kept chasing cars and cats that happened to pass. After training I followed Aphrodite into her room. I picked up the jar that contained the evil spirit that was inside of me.
"Hey, put that down," Aphrodite said. "No." I opened the jar. Nothing happened. Why wasn't the evil going back inside of me? "I said Slagbane holitine aoi aoi aoi when I got the magic out of you. You have to add seega at the end to get it out."
"Aphrodite, before I do this, your mom's the Ultimate."She was just staring at me. "Slagbane holitine aoi aoi aoi seega." The evil went back in me. I ran outside, as a new me. A new evil me.
