A GOOD SHOWER cleanses the mind as well as the body. One settles
into a meditative state that holds the magical power to break destructive
loops. At least that’s how it works for me. And right now, that’s exactly
what I need. The stream of water draws my thoughts out from the corners in
which they’ve stubbornly lodged themselves. It’s as if the heat and steam
soften my brain, providing a chance to reshape itself.

Even if only a little.
I’m in another shitty motel bathroom, but the continuous stream
massaging my neck and shoulders does its job almost as well as it would at
a five-star resort. The knots begin to loosen. Anger melts into resolve. Fear
sublimates into focus. Needling doubts drown in the static of cascading
water.
A small measure of tension eases from my body and I start to relax.
With the relaxation comes clarity. In the background of my thoughts I feel
the hum of magic, ever present within me. Why haven’t I succumbed to that
dark magic? I think of my pack members who became rabid after the
experiments conducted by the Blood Mages. Could Orson’s theory be
correct? Might I spare myself their terrible fate by only using my magic for
good? Every passing day, it gets easier to quell the voice inside telling me
to lash out. I think I might be mastering my magic.
Maybe.
But I fear I’ll have to use it for violence soon. My brother Simon is lost,
and I can’t let him continue his murderous rampage. Things have changed
as I’ve realized who he’s become. I regret not killing him the first time I
came across him when he’d encased an entire town with his black magic,
using his magic to feast on the innocent people. But back then, I thought he
could still be saved.
Until he killed and killed again. Until I realized there was nothing I
could do to pull him back from the edge. The boy I loved, my best friend,
my family is gone. I can’t keep allowing others to die to protect the ghost of
my brother.
So, I’ll have to kill him. One more use of dark magic for ill, then no
more. It’s not worth the cost to my soul. Maybe I won’t even need it then, if
I’m capable of putting Simon down without relying on the Blood Mages’
terrible gift.
The more I think about killing my brother, the more at ease I am with it.
Because the truth of the matter is, he’s already dead. What’s left of him is
trapped within a pitch-like mass of hate, gradually eroding his mind,
making space for its wicked designs. I won’t be killing Simon. I’ll be
setting him free.
I’m at peace with that now.
A deep breath of steam reawakens me. Water beads on my flesh,
streams in rivulets along my naked body. I’ve become so comfortable in my
skin since taking up with the boys. They’ve allowed me to forgive myself
and accept pleasure again. Something I never imagined I’d be able to do.
