Chapter 52: A Magical Exorcism

My hand trembled, re-reading the note. They had made me - or rather my power? Just like Reed had thought. My gut twisted and the back of my throat burned. If that was true, then I had no hope of ever controlling my magic. It was like a demon inside me that wouldn't relent. Is that why I was hearing the voice in my head?

I shuddered, tossing the paper onto my nightstand. Part of me wanted to dash outside my dorm room and into Kento's arms. But he was probably already asleep outside my door.

Instead, I stared up at the ceiling wondering how my life had gone from bad to worse. What I wouldn't give to have my mo - Aunt Agnes here with me. She didn't think I was evil or she would have had me exorcised. I rasped out a chuckle. That's what I needed, a magical exorcism.

Shadows along my ceiling shifted until sometime during the night, I fell asleep.
