Moonlight Glow

9. Secretive

I grabbed Uncle Edward's hand and we ran. Tomy joined us outside.

We ran until we were on a nearby hilltop. We would be able to see Jasper if he came.

"You sure about this?" Uncle Edward asked. I nodded.

"Yes. Let's do this." I closed my eyes and thought of my anger, letting it flood through me. My palms crackled and I contained the anger. Tried to swallow it. I used my muscles to contract the anger. To try to pull it down to my feet. I could feel it go down. It was a slow, painful, burning torture.

I felt faint as the anger reached my chest. I felt faint again.

"Take a break, Shannon." Uncle Edward called out.

"Nearly... There..." I spat through gritted teeth.

I continued to push the burning. Suddenly I felt myself let go. However, instead of the burning rushing back up to my palms, it ran down to my feet. As it slipped down, the burning faded. By the time it reached my toes, the anger was completely gone.

I felt slightly faint. I smiled slightly as Uncle Edward walked up to me.

"I did it..." And I fainted into his arms.
