“It’s alright, sweetheart.”
My chest felt like it was twisting painfully as my wife kneeled to console our young daughter.
I had been ecstatic when we found out that Emberly had my powers. I already loved her so much and was so proud of the person she was becoming that it was overwhelming to discover her hidden abilities.
Unfortunately, the situation was delicate, and we couldn’t afford to simply celebrate.
Emberly was undoubtedly strong, but she was also still extremely young. I regretted that the way she found out about her powers was when she was unsupervised. Perhaps if Briella or I had been there, we could have seen her abilities start to bubble up and could have helped her control it from the start.
My little girl’s frightened eyes when we found her surrounded by scorch marks would haunt me for the rest of my life.
