"I can't," I said slumping into my bed. 


 "You have to," Abby argued as she settled next to me. I grabbed a pillow hugging it close to my chest. 


 "But I can't even do magic," I whined as I stuck out my bottom lip into a pout. Abby rolled her eyes at my childish display. 


 "That's why you have to learn," she explained, tearing the pillow from my grip and tossing it at my headboard. 


 "The council believes that you'll be much safer if you are able to protect yourself. I think it's a good idea," it made sense, if I did have powers wouldn't it be better if I knew how to use them. However the prospects of using those abilities scared me. I was a tad bit afraid of magic, even my own. 


 "Well I think it's a bad one," I huffed as I laid on the bed. 


 "Would you rather be a sitting duck?" She asked and I shook my head. "Good, so you're starting your lessons tomorrow after school."
