A surge of heat pulsed through me as I raised my hand. A small fireball sparked in my palm, fueled by the fire power I was born with. Without a second thought, I hurled it toward Tiana, the flames grazing her left cheek, leaving a minor burn.
"Ah! Are you trying to kill me?" Tiana screamed in pain, stumbling to the ground. But I didn't flinch.
"You can say anything you want about me, and I would let it slide. But speak ill of my son again, and I swear I won't hold back!" I growled.
Ashton immediately stepped between us, shielding Tiana from me.
I took a step forward this time, my gaze unforgiving. "Am I trying to kill you? No."
I moved closer.
"But am I capable of it? Yes, Tiana. Yes, I am."
Kathryn's Point of View
"You're turning into a real psychopath, Kathryn!" Ashton yelled, then turned to Tiana, carefully cupping her face. "Does it hurt?" He whispered softly. When Tiana nodded, he leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek.
I scoffed, quietly summoning another fireball in my palm. This time, I aimed it at Ashton, letting it burn his clothes.
"Just helping you get undressed for another make-out session with my sister," I mocked.
