“My-my inner demons?” Becca asked.
“Yes. We all have them. I am yours Becca. You've been running away from me. Now that I've caught up, 당신 must face me.”
Becca looked at Sheila. Her brown eyes were calm and peaceful. Becca imagined her eyes were fearful and sad; troubled and worn. She tried to look away but Sheila's eyes were so focused it was hard to 옮기기 under her gaze.
“Becca. Do 당신 사랑 him?”
“Yes.”
“Then face me. In order to gain what 당신 have lost, 당신 must talk to me.”
“About what?”
“Tell me how they make 당신 feel, how he makes 당신 feel.”
“How I feel when I'm with them?”
“Yes. To face your other demons, 당신 must tell me how they make 당신 feel. Because you, of all people, understand the sacrifice of true love. 당신 remember him, don't you?”
“Of course! How could I not?”
“Then tell me.”
Becca looked away, gathering her strength. A gentle hand placed under her chin caused her to look back. Shiera waited, her eyes strong and intent on Becca's face.
“How they make me feel? Ok. I'll start with Megan. She is sweet and caring. Although she can be annoying sometimes, Megan is a true angel. The way she always looks out for others and listens when people speak. The way Megan always has some kind of treat ready; like a mom waiting for her kids to come home. Megan makes me feel happy, protected. She has earned my trust.”
Becca paused for a 분 when a small little 애로우 of light entered the room and went into her.
“Kaldur's next. He is always looking out for everyone. He risks a lot, trying to protect us and even teaching us lessons along the way. No matter what happens, he always looks for the benefit of the team. He lives for it. He is 메리다와 마법의 숲 and wise, but he has a secret side too. One that I've been able to see. Kaldur has earned my trust.”
Another light 애로우 entered, this one going into Becca as well.
“Connor's turn. He is aggressive and a little...dense. But he tries. He learns. He cares. He may be strong and tough on the outside, but his 심장 is beating for 사랑 and truth. He may be just a clone, but there has never been someone 더 많이 willing to learn and listen than Connor. He makes me feel safe, like I can always count on him. Connor may not be a living encyclopedia, but he has the brain of a 상단, 맨 위로 notch computer on steroids. He will use it to the best of his abilities. His strength is only one side 당신 see. The other is soft and caring. I feel 안전한, 안전 around him. Connor has my trust.”
Five 더 많이 light arrows appeared, each going into Becca. They seemed drawn to her, like every word she was saying made the difference.
“Wally's turn. He is always speeding around, never staying in one place too long. But when 당신 need him, he's there. Never have I seen someone as determined as he is. Never have I seen such a bottom-less pit before either. Despite being called dense, Wally is one of the smartest on the team. He lives for science but I think he is slowly believing in magic. He uses his brain to the max. But he uses his 심장 one-hundred and thirty percent. Somehow, I don't think this guy will be giving up without a fight. He makes me feel watched over. He seems to look out for everyone. Wally has my trust.”
A heard of the little light arrows decided to 가입하기 the others and Becca allowed them.
“Artemis is next. Her archery skills are to perfection. He life is a secret. No matter what 당신 do, though, she will back 당신 up. There is a certain level of kindness inside of her. But she is raising the bar every 초 that she lives. She may not be the smartest 또는 the fastest 또는 even have powers, but Artemis lives for her friends, because of her friends. No matter how 로스트 당신 think 당신 are, Artemis is the compass waiting to take 당신 home. She's learned a lot about families. She has become mine. She is my best friend, my older sister. I feel like I can depend on her. Artemis has my trust.”
Every word Becca spoke brought these little arrows of light into her. Every time she used the word trust. Becca could feel her strength coming back and she was ready to fight.
“Robin is the last. He is sweet, caring. He always looks out for others. He gives his all and risks himself 더 많이 than they really know. Somehow, he still manages to 사랑 me. I may never be good enough for him, but there is always something good inside that he sees. He has no powers but is the best hero there is. I can release all my emotions when I'm with him. I don't have to hide, I don't have to run, and I never have to fear the darkness inside of me. He helps bring out the light I hold. He faces off the darkness around me and still loves. He loves me. I know that I 사랑 him with everything I am. Everything I used to be. Everything I will be. I will always 사랑 my little bird. He will always be mine. And I will always belong to him. No one can tame me. No one but him. No one can weaken me. No one can stand against me. No one can beat me. Not when I have him to protect and love. He makes me feel cherished and loved beyond all else. Robin has my trust.”
A large quantity of light entered her, making Becca glow brightly. A darkness exited from her and went to Shiera, who was starting to disappear.
“You have fought your inner demons Becca. 당신 have triumphed. Now go save your family.”
Shiera placed a hand on her shoulder, causing Becca to wince at sudden pain.
“You have no need for your apprentice look. I will take it and make sure that Becca and Prendere never meet again. Go to them; save your family.”
