Claudia looked at Callum expectantly. She already had an idea that was bound to work. Callum looked away.
-
"What?" Eli asked, looking at the two of them. "What's going on?"
-
'Callum,' Claudia said softly, putting a hamd on her son's shoulder. 'You know what you have to do?'
Callum pulled away. 'I told you, I'm not using that magic again.' -
"Please." Claudia said somehow even softer. Eli kept looking at the two of them.
"What does he have to do?" Eli asked quietly. -
'Like you suggested, Eli. Callum has to destroy the darkness with his magic. Nobody else here can do it,' Callum's father said.
'Why not?!' Callum exclaimed. -
"Well you're the one that made it." Claudia pointed out. "Which means you're the only one able to destroy it."
-
'How is that logical? You're both much stronger than me!' Callum argued.
'Cal, you know this. Only the creator can destroy his creation,' Claudia said. -
Eli didn't say anything, feeling in their gut that Claudia was right, but also understanding why Callum wouldn't want to use his magic.
"Callum, please. At least try." Callum's dad begged. -
Callum put down his plate and stood, flinching away from his mother then jumping out the door. Claudia sighed.
'We tried,' Callum's father shrugged sadly. -
Eli stood up, following Callum. "Hey." They said quietly.
-
Callum was sitting on a large piece of debris outside, legs cuddled to his chest. 'Hey,' he mumbled.
-
Eli sat down on the edge of the house. "Do you want to talk about.... That?"
-
'What is there to talk about?'
-
"Why won't you listen to them?" Eli asked quietly. "I mean, I know why you don't want to... But could you at least listen to them?"
-
'I already know what they want me to do. There's no point.'
