Coveted

Power unleashed

I dressed slowly and walked to the training area. James wasn't there. He was always here waiting on me. I feel eyes on me and turn to see James staring at me with a look in his eyes that I couldn't put a name too. I look away and ask what was going on. He said to follow him. I have an anxious feeling in my stomach, but also a little tingle of excitement. We walk into a room filled with books and potions. There's only one chair in the room. It leans back like a dentist chair. He motions for me to sit in it. I don't move. I just look at him with fear. He tells me once again to control my emotions. He sounds like a broken record. I want to run, but I'm frozen in my spot. I can't imagine what could be worse than what he's already done, but I also didn't want to find out. James sighed in frustration and tossed me in the chair. I started struggling, trying to get away. He tied my hands and feet to the chair. I'm terrified. My breathing is out of control and I'm sweating profusely. James picks up a dark red potion. It looks like blood. He brings it over to me and I cringe away. He grabs my chin and pours the potion down my throat. The metalic taste of blood immediately invades my mouth. I start gagging, but before I can throw up my vision blurs and I lose consciousness.

I wake up in the bed. I'm completely naked with ice packs surrounding my body, yet I'm covered in sweat. I look to see James asleep in a chair. I try to move but my body feels like lead. James stirs and looks at me with what looks like concern. The look is gone almost immediately and replaced by his usual blank expression. He removes the ice packs, covers my body and leaves. I'm to tired to even question the events of earlier today. I just turn and fall to sleep. My sleep was pervaded with dreams. I saw images of Mason sleeping with different women and then torturing them. There screams haunting me. Then I was watching my self sleep. I was thrashing around with ice packs covering me. James was there, with an agonized look on his face, caressingy my cheek. I woke up with a start and shook off the confusing images. I slowly walked to the bathroom to shower. Once dressed I walked to the training room. James was there destroying a punching bag. He stopped when he saw me. "Go back to your room. I haven't got time for you today.". He scooped me up and carried me to bed. He turned and left, returning minutes later with a tray of food. I our eyes locked for the briefest moment and then he was gone.

James POV

After I gave Carra the potion to unlock her powers, she was asleep for four days. Her fever raged out of control. I felt like I would lose my mind. What has this small girl done to me. Even the beast within me is drawn to her. I'm constantly fighting to maintain control. Whenever she's near, my beast wants to take her in every way imaginable. Who am I kidding, so do I. Seeing her so near death was too much for me. When she finally woke up I ran to my dungeon and locked myself inside, just as my beast took over. When I finally regained control I realized it was just in time. The bars were about to come off their hinges. Everything in the cell was destroyed. I needed to let off steam so I decided to go train. When I saw her fragile figure in the room, I knew she wasn't recovered. We are running out of time, but I can't risk her life. I'm afraid if she dies so will my sanity.

Carra's POV

When next I woke, I felt completely refreshed. Infact I felt better and stronger than ever before. Once showered and dressed I examined myself in the mirror. There was a white, glowing aura surrounding me and my eyes were completely blue. The pale blue of the sky. Not just the iris, but all of my eye. My body had changed as well. My breasts went from an A cup to DD. My usually narrow hips had all the curves that I had dreamed of since hitting puberty. My hair had turned the silvery white of the moon. I barely recognized myself. I ran to the training room to find James. I came to a halt when I saw the stunned look on his face. It soon turned to lust. His eyes turned blood red and he pushed me against the wall. He started sniffing my neck. He breathed in deeply. He was like an animal scenting their mate. He lick my neck and I could feel his teeth getting longer and sharper. I started panting in expectation. Then he pulled back and ran from the room. I stood there until I could get control of my body. When I breathing returned to normal I decided to use the new punching bag James had put in. What better way to relieve my tension. I started punching the bag. I realized my strength and speed had increased. Before I knew it I was punching the bag at an alarming speed. Then the bag suddenly ruptured. I looked at my hands like they belonged to someone else. I had to see what else I could do. I went to the weight set. I put on twice what I could normally lift. I didn't even have to strain. I wanted to test my limits so I added another hundred pounds. I tried to lift it, but nothing happened. I turned all my concentration on the weights and tried again This time the glow that surrounds me extended to the weights. They seemed to levetate off the floor. It's as if they weighed nothing at all. I have always felt week and unimportant. Was this who I was supposed to be all along?
