Chapter 101: Charmed
OWEN

I was trying to find an answer, or something to understand, because I was lost here, VERY. All I could do was focus my reading eyes on Emma as she watched the plant outgrow, what the hell is going on? I knew for certain I cast the spell, but this looks beyond me, beyond my capability, I was still learning and I knew this progress was not something that could happen overnight.
I leveled my gaze to our hands still locked together and I could feel it, the amount of power surging through me, It was just like that day, the first day I laid my eyes on Emma, the feeling I felt like my magic was at my fingertips and bizarre within me, it was happening right now, even when I chanted the spell.
When I first started it, it was the usual result, spells were like a command and I knew my command wasn’t merging with what I wanted, it wasn’t responding, you chant a command and it responds, that’s how it works, and more you focus the more fatigue you get for spells that are difficult.
But not until Emma held my hand, it was an unexpected gesture, and my body stiff as well as my magic, I knew it was solely because I was attracted to her in some way, I knew that gesture of hers was simply her way of motivating me, no matter how elated I felt by it, I felt my insides swell and the moment she uttered ’Try again" I felt the need to which I did.
I felt the command didn’t work but surprisingly enough it worked in a very questioning way because I knew this wasn’t only my doing, but what? I don’t feel any magic from her... then how? How was she able to trigger my powers to become more...
"W-W-Why are you looking at me like that?"
At her question, I was brought back from my thoughts and realized how long I have been staring, I must have made her uncomfortable, just look at the discreet eyes she was giving me now, dammit! But I couldn’t move, I didn’t want to, this power within me bewitched me, I didn’t want the contact to end, it was so tempting like something was calling for me but I didn’t know what, all I knew was I wanted to be conjured on that call and let it swallow me, I wanted her to deplete me.
