ts?

Addilyn has gotten food into her stomach. Which significantly improved her sour mood. The twins stayed in her general area. Sometimes hovering nearby or right close to her legs. She didn't seem to mind them like she did most children. Her green eyes were brighter than normal and she seemed okay. Addi only smiled to the children and Jason. If she smiled at all. The party had died down and people had begun to head back to their homes. This included Brax who happily left Al alone with his new lover proposition. The twins stayed behind their parents not really caring since they knew Addilyn would take care of them and Andrés would too.

The person who owned the speakers had long since left and now everyone was gathered around the campfire.

Andrés took out a guitar and had begun to strum it and hum lightly as he tuned it. When he spotted Addilyn, he smiled. "Do you remember how to play?" Addilyn shook her head but she was obviously trying to get out of it. "I haven't played in years. Plus it's your thing not mine." Andrés frowned, his eyes obviously trying to figure something out. "Ah, how about you dance? Pllleeeaaassse? You always were the best dancer." Addilyn looked genuinely embarrassed, looking down at the ground as her cheeks turned a soft pink.

Michael, who had no taste for social gatherings, or people, left early. He said nothing during the entire gathering, and when he left, seemed to be heading in a different direction than the house. No one paid him any mind, though.

It was strange to see Addilyn in this light. She has always been strong and brace, but here.. here her obvious power seemed to radiate from her.

It was different.

Addilyn sighed, softly, looking back up at Andrés. "Fine, I'll do it. I haven't practiced in over a year though so don't you dare laugh." Andrés shrugged and smirked, "no promises." Addilyn flicked his forehead lightly with her finger. A dark shadow crossed his face for a split second and Addilyn pulled away quickly but said nothing about it. "My feet are gonna freeze," she muttered softly before letting go of Jason's hand and untying her shoes. Due to multiple healing spells, her feet weren't messed up like most dancers, she liked them better that way anyway.

Addi was self taught. With little help from anyone other than her mother who taught her ballet. From there, Addilyn has developed her own style, mixing many types of dancing together to create her own unique mix of things. She had the rapid spins of ballet and fast rhythm of jazz with movements from the tips of her fingers to her shoulders. Dancing was probably one of the reasons she was so graceful other than Jolon's training.

Little Angel cleared out a little area of grass and Seth called for a light breeze to bring over about 3 inches of loose dirt. Ily's performances always had some sort of flair and they were hoping that they would this time too.

Addilyn was thinking hard, her tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth as she tried to put her dance together in her head. Meanwhile, her hands were busy pinning up her hair. Putting it up in an easy bun. And now she was technically ready.

She just needed music.

once addi dances and everything you want to do , ts to when the coven comes?

memories of holding his guitar and playing. It was almost as if he could feel it now...

His attention was brought back to Addilyn as she started dancing, having been spacing out.

Addilyn took her place in the middle of the cleared area. The twins watched anxiously as Addilyn prepped. Her movements were practically silent now that her shoes were off.

This shouldn't be too hard. After all, the jeggings she wore weren't going to break or anything and they were stretchy enough. The hoodie wasn't ideal but she didn't really have time to change into anything else.

Instead of stretching, she casted a spell on herself. It would allow her to push her limits without actually feeling the pain until after.

Once she finished murmuring the spells' words. She looked up at Andrés, and Alvina, giving them one firm nod.

He started out slowly, the song started slow and filled with melancholy. Alvina sang in Spanish but anyone could hear how her voice was easy going and smooth. The song was about falling down but rising up again despite everything. The song began with a deep sadness. So Addilyn did the same.

Her smile began to appear as her legs found the rhythm again. A magic of its own filled the area. Turning everything from dark to light. The song began to pick up. Addilyn changed from her slow movements to faster ones. When the song reached the fastest peak, Addilyn brought out the real dancer within. Doing the one move that everyone knew, the Pirouette, aka when you spin on a singular foot in rapid succession(I believe that's what the definition is(?) I haven't done ballet in years lol) The spins doubled in speed and (I've actually forgotten the term for this next thing so just imagine it instead lol. At least, one portion of it is the name. The rest is just Addilyn I believe(?)) Addilyn then, while spinning, made her chest parallel to the ground and reached out her hand. Using a bit of wind magic to help keep her spins going.

From there, she lightly trailed a circle in the ground around her and as she lifted her body back up. Fire.

Fire rose from the circle.

At precisely the right point where the melody was reaching its peak. As she rose, so did the flames. They danced with her.

Addilyn had slowed down her spins to make up for the creating of the fire but she went faster this time. The twins' jaws dropped in awe as Addilyn's eyes turned lighter than they'd ever been. The lightest green possible. Of course, Addilyn didn't know this.

Her hands raised above her head and the flames rose too. Now reaching her waist. She was smiling though, this was obviously part of the plan. Alvina's voice rang through the air clear and sharp as it began to slow again. And so did Addilyn. The flames fell but in a soft, gentle way, not immediate extinguishment.

Addilyn stopped her spinning and went back into the gentle steps she had began with. Her eyes fading back to their normal color. Her small jump then a smooth landing on her knees ended the song.

And there was silence.

It was honestly a remarkable amount of self control that kept Jason from hugging Addilyn.

She was so perfect.
