Chapter 51.5 - Chelsea POV (One Month Later)

We all fall into some type of routine, and surprisingly Gabriel and I spend less time overseeing the island people, and more time working on our individual gifts as well as Ben, Oakley and I learning to play the violin.

While we show progress in our individual gifts, violin lessons? Not so much. At best I could play something that sort of resembled 'twinkle twinkle little star,' but the sound mostly just drove others away.

The surprising reveal was that between my siblings and I, Ben was the one that showed the most promise, but Oakley and I wrote that off to the fact that he played for Kayla all the time. What we couldn't understand was how he seemed to progress so rapidly in learning his water abilities. Unsure of what may happen if he practiced in the ocean waters, he tended to do any form of manipulation at this hidden enclave on the island, at Lux's place or a pool. His easiest manipulation learned so far, in my own opinion would be to shape water into anything his heart desired, as well as separating water around him.

"He's so lucky," Oakley, said next to me in awe as we watched amazed as Ben lowered into the pool, and the water covered him. With our senses we could not that he had created a cylinder around him, eight inches from his body, just space. To him, or anyone else it appeared as though he was protected by a glass case from all angles, and slowly, he lifted, the water falling to his feet, while he just walked across the pool, the water rippling where he stepped.

Stupefied I just blinked a few times, shaking my head, "Lucky doesn't cover it," I murmured. "You should be able to do that as well Chelsea," Wolf said from behind me, capturing my attention. I turned away from Oakley and Ben, staring at him unsure, "He's the water Element," surely he knew that by now. He had been coming to the Island a few days a week, spending time with Rainy at our home.

"Yes, but you are the fifth Element, you should be able to manipulate all gifts, it may take some time but that is my understanding," I glanced at Ben over my shoulder, returning my gaze to Wolf, "No... I'm not sure that's right?" Yes it is, you should be able to do what Ben, Oakley and everyone else is doing, that is what Wyatt told me of the fifth Element, it is how you will be able to undermine any shifter with an element based gift, Wolf sent me over the link.

"Why didn't you say that before?"

He looked away for a moment, "I thought you knew." His thoughts showing no deception, I nodded, "I can't do anything with water yet, but I can do what Oakley does with her gift," my thoughts going back to when I had used it on Victors daughter Mylene. You will master them that is true, my third wolf thought.

Stopping in my spot, I digest that bit of information, swiftly storing it away, not an ounce of worry or fear in my mind. Unlike before when learning that piece of information would send my poor heart into a spiraling tailspin of 'what if's' and 'this is too much.'

"See..." gloating one eyebrow raised. Shaking my head I walked away, turning towards the back of the house, a flicker up and I see Kieran in his window looking down at Oakley. Oblivious to my gaze, want mate, his wolf Nyx whined. Sighing I went inside, Kieran was only punishing himself and Oakley, but she seemed to be taking it in stride, keeping her mind focused on learning her gift as well as the violin. Kieran had asked her for space and while she gave it to him, a piece of her was not the same, the glow she had been walking around with when she first arrived and their friendship was blooming, had all but vanished.
