The Abused Luna's Comeback Novel - Chapter 99
Chapter 99 Hellfire
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
When a small whirlpool of water appeared in front of us, I was stunned. Then I realized that Alonso was the one who formed it.
“How did you do that?”
“See that fountain over there? I just transferred the water over from it.”
“Incredible,” I muttered.
“You can try it too.”
I focused my attention and imagined summoning the water from the fountain. But after a few minutes, there was still nothing in front of me.
“Focus on your emotions and think about the things that make you so angry that you can’t control yourself!”
I didn’t want to use those unbearable memories to motivate me to do anything. I only wanted them to be buried in the bottom of my heart. But Alonso’s words still made me think of my parents and my people: it was a rainy day and the memory of that day would never be forgotten. I witnessed the executioners arrive with silver spears and bayonets as they thrust their weapons unreservedly into the bodies of my people. Even a few-months-old baby wasn’t spared.
I felt my body start to heat up and Charlotte began to roar in my body as she circled in sadness. She could see my memories too and was just in as much pain as I was.
I was only a child as I hid in the ruins, not daring to make a sound, even though my tears were streaming down my face. Then I watched as my father, the good and mighty Alpha, pierced by a spear. He fell but his eyes remained fixed on the place I was hiding. I saw his eyes filled with anger and reluctance. Then, New Moon Pack’s Alpha Roger walked over and stepped on my father’s head with his boots.
The sky started to rain even more heavily, as if it too was mourning over the loss of my pack.
I felt the energy in my present body gathering crazily. They burned within me like fire. When I felt like I could no longer control it, I felt something shoot out through my skin.
“Get out of the way! It’s hellfire!”
My consciousness grew a little blurry as I vaguely heard Alonso shout. This was not a good sign. I immediately used all my strength to suppress the energy in my body and I could feel myself fiercely struggling with it. This was very difficult for me but in the end, I won. I finally suppressed my berserk mode on my own for the first time.
I knelt on the ground and panted heavily. When I raised my head again, I was horrified to find that the soil around me was almost charred black. As far as my eyes could see, the trees and meadows within the range of a few dozen meters had turned into ashes. The three people were frozen in defensive stances as they looked at me in astonishment.
“F*ck! You just summoned hellfire!” Alonso quickly walked towards me, but Edward had already arrived by my side to help me up.
“What’s that?”
“It’s different from ordinary fire. Legend has it that it came from hell! I’ve never seen its true form, but the fireball you just summoned was blue-green in color, identical to the hellfire I had only read about in books.”
“Oh my God, does that mean that I’m evil?” Just hearing that the thing I summoned came from Hell gave me quite a scare.
“No, it doesn’t work that way. Its origin is only a legend. Now, it’s one of your weapons. I genuinely shocked that you were able to summon hellfire for your first time in manipulating elements.”
“Sounds like this thing is very powerful.”
“Its heat can cause painful burns. Legend has it that it can burn the body and soul. However, hellfire is only the most basic of its type. There is a higher-level version called hellflame which burns in a fluorescent purple-red flame. If you can summon hellflame, no ordinary vampires will be a match for you.”
I was a little disappointed when I heard this. Being able to summon hellfire was already impressive enough, but it wasn’t even enough to deal with ordinary vampires.
“Ordinary vampires also have strong vitality. Don’t underestimate yourself. Your potential isn’t small.” Alonso seemed to have seen through my thoughts as he tried to console me for the first time.
“Babe, you almost burned my hair just now.”
“I’m sorry, Alpha. I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s fine. Maybe once you have more control over this, you can perm my hair.” Edward consoled me too, even though I knew he was joking
“Yes, you need better control over your abilities instead of randomly releasing them in every direction. Remember, such potential of yours is a double-edged sword.”
I nodded at Alonso’s warning. Everything that happened earlier and my previous experiences made me realize the seriousness of the problem once again. I had to grow up as soon as possible and learn how to not harm the people around me.
