I loved being whole. It was like everything I'd ever wanted to know and couldn't figure out was right there at the tip of my fingers waiting for me. Mind you, the incredible power I'd known the night the Wild showed up wasn't with me anymore. Mom figured it had to do with their power feeding mine. Personally I was just as happy to let that amount of magic go. My luck I'd stumble around the rest of my life doing horrible things every time I sneezed or lost my temper.
Still, Mom and I were both thrilled with the full integration of my other two sides. I knew I'd be a while getting used to it, but the idea that I'd never be alone was pretty appealing.
Surprise, surprise, Brad was suddenly interested in me again, now more than ever, but I was so done with his crap. It took me a few tries when I ran into him at Johnny's to figure out how to shut off his magic once and for all, but as soon as I did he left me alone.
Perfect. That was all I wanted from him.
