Chapter 38

• I didn’t want to go to the practice, I knew it was some sort of bonding habit they had, but the last time it hadn’t ended well. Daxx finally persuaded me that I needed to be there. She told me that together, they were going to help me learn how to protect myself.
• The flashes were back, and I found they made me feel more normal. Which, I knew I was so not normal it was pure silliness, but I agreed to go. With the return of my seeing came the energy and drive that made me keep moving. I hated being frightened all the time, so hopefully training could help with that.

It took me several minutes of thinking to realize it may be until we talked about the book with leaves on it, what he needed to do. I accepted his decision to avoid our being close.
