Part 15, Dramatics

Layla and I wait backstage so that Mark and Jack can start the panel then they will introduce us to come on. We hear a round of applause before we are directed on stage. The cheering gets louder once we are on the stage. Layla and I quickly take our seats, Layla in the arm chair across from Mark, while I sit next to Jack again; he's careful not to touch me since we don't want Shadow to go haywire on stage.

We start by playing a game of charades then on to other games before finishing with questions from the crowd.
Mark: "I want to thank you all for coming and staying with us. Before we go, Caitlin has a surprise for you all." With that the crowd explodes in cheers and applause as I make my way to the front of the stage. I take a deep breath with my eyes closed while I focus on my energy to form the light wings again, but this time I levitated to add to the dramatics. I hear gasps before cheering roars to life, ringing loudly in my ears. 

I push myself a little further by making the light wings become my real wings. Glitter and feathers drift to the ground, gathering at my feet. I slowly float back down before taking a bow. Before I knew it, I was thrown by some invisible force backwards into the coffee table behind me. I hear Layla rush to help me back onto my feet, but something stops her; pushing her back as well. I let out a silent scream as she's thrown back into the chair so was just sitting on, making it topple over, landing on top of her. All I see is a cocoon of green vines under the armchair as I see Jack move it from off her. I let go off the breath I didn't know I was holding once I see Layla is alright.

I feel warmth seep down my back. Black spots dot my vision. I see Mark trying to break through the field around me and Jack helping Layla to her feet. I hear a manic laugh before I completely black out. Shadow's turn.
