I was worried by a lot of things. For one, Will was still in the hospital. Recovering, but still. And the there was the matter of getting our powers back to normal, and I still had to work a job at the hospital and learn how to heal. Over the last few days I've harnessed a few powers that I didn't even know Will had- one being I had accidentally wiped out everyone at the library with a whistle. That had been embarrassing. Anyway, I was on my way to the hospital. It was Saturday, but I needed to check on Will. As I walked into his hospital bed I let out a breath of relief I didn't even know I was holding in. He was lying on his bed with his eyes closed, mostly solid. I had the feeling that I could help a bit, and I decided that I would try, seeing as he was sleeping. I took his hand and started singing- I never sang, but this song just came to me, a healing chant from Apollo. He flickered, then solidified. I smiled at my small but significant victory, and then pulled my hand back as he shifted and turned towards me. He had this soothing aura around him and a look that whispered "Don't worry, it'll be ok." I brushed his hair out of his face and stood up to leave. The rest of the day passed easily and I found myself ignoring my worries more and more. The next day I received news that Will was out of the hospital, and of course I had to go and see him. Then my luck changed. I had just stepped out of my house, about to walk to Will's door, when my cursed happy thoughts had to cloud my head. This happened often, but never like this. I started to glow again, and Will wasn't there to save me. It started to burn my skin, and I screamed.
"Will!" I screeched, praying he could hear me through his walls. I couldn't see- the light I was giving off was blinding. I stumbled around, until I realized that everywhere I stepped, the grass was shriveling and smoking beneath my feet. I cursed.
"WILL!" My voice was weak, but I screamed nonetheless. Sweat dropped like rain from my face. I took another careful step, but it didn't work. A flame shot up in front of me, and I screamed. I backed up in fear, and the flames only grew.
"WILL! Will," I sobbed. The fire roared in a ring around me, and I sunk to my knees in defeat, tears and sweat staining my face.
I didn't know he was there until I saw him standing in front of me through the heat waves. He was crying.
