章 26: The Ability to Love Yourself

Astrid POV

It's been two days since we've started planning how to get my powers back. And to say I've been on edge is a total understatement, I sat up in my large bed feeling rather homesick. I missed my mother immensely even if she is crazy at times I loved the women to death.

I get up from my bed walking to my large mirror placed on the wall above my desk. My wild mane of hair was literally everywhere and my gold eyes had deep dark circles underneath them. I lifted my hair from one side gazing at my ear in the mirror, I take off one of my pink and white hearing aids.

It's been so long since I've taken off my hearing aids. I set the hearing aid done feeling complete, I remember my first encounter with sign language. It was an early morning I was only 4 years old at the time and my mother thought it would be a good idea to learn sign language.
