Learning control

When I woke up I got out of the coffin feeling better than I had in years. Maybe this coffin is healing more than I thought. I loo around seeing how the sun had gone down already showing how tired I had been and how good I had slept. Luckily today is a Saturday meaning no school. I walked around clearing the leafs thinking about how my magic worked. From what I could tell is that by focusing on how something looks and putting a certain amount of energy into will summon. But the thing I did with the wind was different. I slash my arm around and a small spiral of wind appears as I use my hand to control how big and we're it went.

The moon was still shining but I would need someplace to stay. I go ahead and focus on the palm of my hand focusing the energy there. After a few seconds a burst from my palm happened sending to the ground with a gust of weak wind from the spot. 'Okay so I need to my arm to use the magic otherwise it builds up too much.' I think to myself.

The dark trees were covering the sky but letting in the light of the moon and city below. I had twenty dollars and needed more money soon. I go around trying to figure how to speed myself up. I found by focusing my my legs and feet and then pushing off gives a large distance quick but hard to control. But if I used less and aimed for a certain area it was easier to control but not as fast. I wanted to summon the vampire still but held that off for later when I needed it.

I felt something coming towards and looked around. Between two trees stood a large black werewolf. From the looks of it two more were coming behind it. This should be goo practice before making money from this. I focused moving my hands fluently and drawing in the idea of the shadows around me. Slowly the shadows came up to my hand as the wolves spread out before me. My shadows started coming and I used both my hands molding it into a black sphere. One of the wolves on my left started charging and I threw my arm out toward it. The black sphere turned into a sharp arrow cutting through the wolf as I bend my arm back the arrow comes back. The other two were about to attack when the arrow with speed so great it was a black blur went through both their necks.

I walked away from the bodies heading to the city. When I reached the city I went toward the more sketchy side and tried to find anyone willing to sell work. When I was walking down a dirty sidewalk with the abandoned building around a man came from behind a corner.

"Hey kid you want work." The was asking.

"Sure but how." I say.

"You get a quarter of the profit we make and a small bonus for helping out." He says.

"What we selling" I ask.

"Not much just some of this bullets. I need you to keep an eye on the truck to make sure no one try's anything." He says.

"I better be paid." I say as he waves a stack of cash while walking into the building.

I waited for about a hour when he walked back out with three others.

"Okay here the money so scurry along." He says handing me four hundred dollars.

"These weapons are worth more than that. So I think I will take over from here." I say slighty moving my wrist.

"Take the money and leave." He says.

As he said those words I slashed my arm through the air slicing him in half from the wind. The other three men stand there frozen as one of them comes to and grabs a gun.

"Just pay me what you were paying him and we're all good." I say.

"Here the money." One then says throwing a black suitcase to me.

I grab the case and take off up the wall of the tall building before getting to the top. The lights of the city from up here were so amazing tonight. I took another chance and ran down the side of the building before opening the case. The case was filed with twenty and fifty dollar bills. I counted about two thousand before stopping. I started making my way around the city tonight wondering were to go. I walked around the streets as it started to rain. I made my way behind a building making my way to a hotel. I was on the other did of the street as the cars were parked and almost no one was driving. I was starting to get wet from the rain as it came down even harder all of a sudden. I ran across the road to the over hang of the fro t glass door inside the hotel.

When I came in a saw a few workers cleaning and moving luggage while a few people were talking behind the counter.

"Can I rent a room for a few days Sir." I ask the man behind the desk.

"Sure what would you like." He asks.

"What's the pricing." I ask.

" Well our least expensive is fifty dollars a night not including room service. The next would be seventy five dollars a night with room service, the room has a queen sized bed and a large flatscreen tv and a small fridge. Out most expensive is a hundred dollars a night with room service at the top of building, it has a dining room living two floors inside and more. There is also a pool on the roof meaning you'll be closer. But you probably can't afford it." He says getting a key behind him that look bronze like.

"I will get the most expensive for ten nights Sir." I say seeing him shocked a little and grabbing a nicer gold looking key.

"You sure you can pay" He says a little baffled how a seventeen year old kid can afford it.

"Of course I can. Besides isn't normal to splurge when it's your birthday." I say putting two fifty dollars bills on the desk I had put in my pocket.

"How old you turning" he asks handing me the key and checking me in on the computer.

"I'm seventeen now." I say making my way to the elevator.

Attached to the key was a small piece of paper showing the floor number and room number. The floor I was on was floor fifty and my room was 567. When I reached the floor I walked around for a few minutes looking for my room. The hallway was lined with pictures and the doors were white with black door handles. I placed my key into the door walking in and closing the door behind me turned around to look.
