1062 Chapter 47- Rika – Surprise Party Part 5 (VOLUME 6)

Rika

~~

Ashle and Kaede didn’t let go of my hand until we were standing in the middle of the living room. At first, I didn’t know what it was that she wanted me to do, so I just stood there and looked around the room. It was a little strange at the moment. That strange black outlined image was underneath everything now, not just the stuff that was behind me or out of site. I was seeing it in everything. And I knew that I was going to have to figure this all out, and soon. Looking at the world like that, with a shadow version of it underneath everything, was going to get to be too much. I couldn’t stand living like that forever.

“Here, Rika.” Ashle called as she ran back toward me. “I am going to blindfold you. If you can really see things like you say you can, then a blindfold shouldn’t matter, should it?” She was grinning. I knew that she was excited about this.

“OK, so you want me to blindfold myself, then what?” I looked at her confused but still held the scarf that she had in her hands up to my face.

“Well, you can tell me what I am doing at different points around the room. And maybe you can even navigate the room blindfolded. We will put things in front of you though, so that you can’t just memorize the room right now. You will have to use that new ability of yours.”

“You think that I am lying, don’t you?” I was a little annoyed with her and all the things that she was trying to make me do to prove this to her.

“No, it’s not that. I just want to test it. I know how your family is, Rika. You all get these amazing powers. I mean, look at Aunt Trinity, she is hella powerful. I mean, seriously she gave my dad, my aunt, and so many others powers. And she isn’t done either. She is still blessing people and making them stronger. I am sure that you, with all that awesomeness from Aunt Trinity, are going to be just as special as she is. I mean, she is your mom after all, you are going to be way stronger than the rest of us.”

.....

“Y..you really think so?” I asked her in shock as I heard what Ashle had to say.

“Yeah, I really do. You’re amazing, Rika. And you’re going to continue to be amazing for your entire life. That’s why I want to be here in Colorado Springs. I didn’t leave for school because of you, Rika. You’re one of my best friends, and I love you. And I want to support you in what you do. I know that you are going to do amazing things.”

“I doubt it.” I hung my head in dejection. “Reagan will be the next Alpha, and I am no goddess like my mom. I won’t be doing that much with my life.”

“We will see.” She grinned at me. “Come on, put on the blindfold. We need to test your awesome new abilities.” She was smiling at me as she encouraged me. She truly was an awesome friend. I was lucky to have her and the others in my life.

“Alright, fine.” I grinned as I tied the scarf over my eyes. “Let’s figure out what I can do now.”

Ashle continued with her plan that she set forth earlier. She was making me walk through the living room blindfolded. She was making me tell her where she was. And she was making me see when she pushed something into my path. Kaede, Lyssa, Alexa, Isabella and Sophia were all getting into the game as well.

I didn’t mind any of what Ashle and the others were doing. The reason? I was able to see everything. I wasn’t tripped up once. I was able to see them all no matter where they were. If there was something in front of them, it was a little strange, but I could see it.

I think that, since I was seeing things with an outline, it was easier to see things that were behind the other items. Like when Ashle hid behind the couch, I clearly saw the outline of the couch in the room, but in the middle of that outline, I saw Ashle’s form hiding as it crouched on the floor. When Lyssa was sitting on the bar stool, I was able to see that as well. There was no hiding anything from me at all. At least not in the room.

There seemed to be only one thing that I couldn’t see. Well, more than one, but I put them into the same category. I couldn’t see what was on something. Like I couldn’t see the pattern of the clothes, the images on the TV or on paintings, anything like that. Other than that though, I was able to see everything. And when I focused on a specific spot, that area seemed to get more detailed than it was before.

By the time that I took the blindfold off thirty minutes later, I was quite used to seeing things in that outline so it was strange to see colors and lights again.

“Wow.” I blinked several times as I readjusted my eyes. “Now it seems strange to look at things with my eyes.”

“You don’t think that you are using your eyes to see it?” Lyssa asked me as she latched onto the words that I had just said.

“No, I don’t think that it’s my eyes that are seeing those other things. It’s more like my senses, or my magic. It’s something. I mean, I can feel a small pull of magic that is tugging at my senses when I ‘looked’ with my eyes closed. I have been practicing with my magic a lot more. Since the battle ended, my mom has been training me, Reagan, and Talia a lot more. She even gives some lessons to the quads, but not as much as us. They are still too young to learn some of what we are working on. We are learning combat magic on top of practical magic. And when this ability takes over my senses, it definitely feels like magic.” I explained to them as best as I could.

“Oh my Goddess, Rika, that is awesome. You see what I mean, you are so amazing.” Ashle hugged me tightly. “Come on. Let’s go out for the day. There is a mountain that is waiting for us. After we exhaust ourselves out there, we can spend some more time in the spa.” She was bouncing in excitement.

“Do you guys want to see if my new ability works while I am snowboarding?” I grinned at them all. Their eyes all lit up in excitement. I guess that we were really doing this. New magic was like a drug, and not just for the one that received it. The ones that were there to experience it with them were affected as well.

We all geared up and got ready to go snowboarding. I wanted to take on this slope since last night, but I knew that I was going to wait until today. Now that I was about to do it, and use my new power, I could feel the excitement just pouring off of me.

We all rode to the top of the mountain in groups of two, when we were up there, we strapped on our boards and skis and started to get ready to head down the mountain. None of us were novices when it came to snow sports, so we went to the most advanced trail that was on the mountain. I wanted some excitement before we headed back inside for relaxation.

I tied the scarf around my eyes once again. I wanted to make sure that I had a good enough grasp on this new ability before we left here. And what better way to prove that then to put it to the test. At first, I just went a little way down the slope and then walked back up with the others. It wasn’t much, but it was getting me more and more used to my new power. And I was still seeing things with my eyes covered. I was seeing while technically blinded. That was so amazing.

I was still a little nervous to try and go all the way down the slope at first. I wanted to get used to it all first. I had come up here extremely confident and ready to take on the mountain, but I wasn’t a complete idiot.

OK, it wasn’t that I was afraid of getting hurt. I was a wolf, witch, and Fae tribrid, just like my mother. I wasn’t going to get hurt, but I might destroy the board that I borrowed from the hotel. And even though I had more than enough money to replace it if I broke something, I didn’t really want to have to deal with that. I wanted the rest of this trip to be fun. I wanted it to be happy and amazing. I didn’t want to be feeling down because I was doing something before I was ready. So, that was why I decided to learn the lay of the land first.

In my mind, this just made the most sense. And, thankfully, my friends agreed with me. They didn’t want to ruin the rest of the weekend because we did something stupid. Not only that, but humans would wonder how I wasn’t hurt if I were to crash really badly. No, this was a time for caution.
