Elemental Outbreak: Divinity

CH 24. Knot Of Problems.

"It's like the one thing hold you back fades and it allows you to grow exponentially" he said he walked behind me and place a hand on my back and we began to walk closer, I began to lightly shake, "I sense you're feeling some discomfort but trust me, it's always like this I remember Catarina was the same way and this was before we had these abilities she may be extremely stubborn but I know she is stronger than ever now" he said we stopped right in front of the people I could feel their breathing on my body, I could almost only hear the sound of their screaming, I could even hear them trying to break free of their bindings made of orange vines, the ripping of the vines and their skin.

"Now I won't push I know it takes some thinking but I will say if not now the time will come and it'll be your family" he said and pulled me closer grabbing me by the neck tightly, "and trust me, from personal experience you don't want your family to be your first" he said and let go I gasped for air and stared at the people in front of me. "You don't ever have to feel scared again Eliana, or feel weak, or helpless, take the leap. Use your wind and crystals to end their suffering" he said I began to shake even more, "come on my Divine Knight do it, for yourself, for a better tomorrow" he said was quickly getting annoyed by those words, "do it, finish it to start something new!" He said and I began to scream.

It was too much hearing the people struggling in front of me, hearing Roman's voice in the back of my head, hearing the chants of the other members outside, remembering what got me hear and how I treated Martin and the others it was too much. I pulled the people together using my wind and rapidly began to stab at them with a crystal blade attached to my hand, "fuck, fuck, fuck!" I yelled out as I continued to stab at them even though they were long dead.

I finally stopped. Breathing heavily I stared at the carnage in front of me, and began to laugh, it was like he said, I felt something change I could feel that strength begin to grow, it was like I put all my anger and worries into those people, and those worries are mine no more. I retreated the crystal blade and looked at Roman, "thank you high presence" I said to him, he smiled and nodded, "of course Eliana" he held a hand out and I took it and he carved another symbol into my hand, "what does this one mean?" I asked, "you have been liberated" he said as I stared at the new scar that was formed into my palm. "What have you done Eliana" I thought to myself as I stared at my hand.

I rubbed my eyes as I woke up and then sat up, I didn't get much sleep since we got nearly wiped off the face of this fucking earth but I guess all is fine. I grabbed my watch that my husband Chase gave me so long ago, I saw it was still early in the morning probably too early for anyone else to be up.

I pushed myself off the floor and roll my shoulders trying to massage them, "fuck I need a bed or something" I said as I stared at my pathetic excuse for a bed which was made of my jacket, one shirt, and my bag.

I dropped back to the floor and began to do push ups, "nothing, like, a morning, workout" I said as I went up and down each time almost hitting the ground, I could feel the cold ground graze my nose after each push up.

I started to feel my arms tense up and burn so I stopped and rolled over to my back. "I really could've died last night and I wouldn't even have been aware for it" I thought to myself and started to do some sit ups. "Do I want to die like this? Surrounded by people I hardly know?" I thought to myself, it wasn't that I didn't care for them, they took me in even though they weren't in the best shape. "Maybe I'm just shaken up" I thought and stopped my workout and just laid on the floor.

"Am I willing to die in a fight?" I questioned, being a boxer before the world fell doesn't seem to help me here. These cultist are obviously no good but what are we going to do? Can we live through this? I understand the world doesn't have much to offer anymore but I'm not sure I want to lose the little bit I have left. "I'm sure they are all feeling this way to right? If I care so much I wouldn't have these thoughts right?" I sighed and sat up, I'm only human, fuck it I'll push these thoughts to the back I'm no help thinking like this and I know we can all use each other's help.
