inside.”
    “From inside?   Inside its cells ?” Brooke asked.
    “Exactly. You can do even more than that. One day you will split the water on a molecular level.”
    “ What?” Brooke gaped at him as images of high school chemistry class flashed through her head. Little red and yellow balls attached to one another with white bars, representing hydrogen and oxygen molecules. I can do that?
    “Well, maybe not today. I’m getting ahead of myself.”   Rilan smiled. “You both have so much potential. I think you can do whatever you put your minds to.”
    Brooke held the grass, stared at it, and focused her energy. At first, nothing happened. She frowned at Rilan. “Are you sure about this?”
    “Yes, Brooke. You’ve grown up surrounded by water, so you’re accustomed to its abundance. You need to access the water that’s not readily available.”
    She blew out a breath and frowned at the blades of grass in her palm. Pushing her negative thoughts aside, she studied the striations in the smooth green surfaces and visualized its inner structure. After a few minutes of coaxing, a drop of water formed on the end of one blade. The size of a pinhead at first, it grew to the size of a dime before Brooke stopped.
    “I did it!” she yelled. She held her cupped hands out for Rilan to see.
    “Nicely done.” Rilan folded his arms across his chest. “Do that a few more times, and then move on to the trees and do the same with their leaves.”
    “Okay.” This is so cool . Brooke loved a new challenge. Her sister regularly used the entire yard. She got a bowl or, sometimes, the bird bath. It made her tasks seem so trivial.
    She wished she could work with the lake. Big, blue Lake Michigan, just a few miles away. But using her power on a large scale, in a wide open area, could draw the wrong kind of attention. “Can we get a fountain back here?   Maybe a koi pond?   Without the fish, of course.”
    Nicole released the winds she had directed at the trees. “Oh, that would be perfect!   Brooke can do more. Although, this new trick is awesome!” she said with a huge grin. “But if we got a pond now, she’d still have time to work with it before it freezes.”
    “I don’t see why not,” Rilan said. “But remember, all the things you’re doing here can be done on a large scale. I want you to get the principles down first.”
    “I just want to know how it would feel to move a huge body of water. Or redirect the flow of a river,” Brooke said wistfully.
    She had heard Rilan’s next words a hundred times. “It’s not safe, child. We need to stay within the yard.”   Strong warding spells guarded the house and everything around it. Nothing would appear unusual to anyone, human or other, who happened to be nearby. Strong winds, flying water, demonfire—no one would notice.
    Brooke nodded. She knew he was right, but that didn’t help her dissatisfaction. How was she supposed to prepare to fight a vicious evil by moving the water around in a bird bath?   On the other hand, if she found herself in an area with no water, she was screwed. She would have to rely on her martial arts skills, and her recent training with the Lash demons. Both of which left her under-prepared to fight something like a Neshi demon.
    She squared her shoulders. “Okay, on Monday I’ll make some calls about that pond. Until then, let’s keep going.”
    For the next couple of hours they worked the air and water, bending and swirling it to their will. When Rilan had Brooke blast a stream of water apart, the sisters couldn’t resist. All those tiny drops begged to be frozen. Nicole lowered the air temperature so fast that Brooke got goose bumps. She shaped the droplets into spikes, and Nicole hurled them across the yard to shatter against the brick exterior of the house.
    As they high-fived, Gunnar stuck his head out the back door. “Hey, those could hurt someone. Not me, of course.”
    “Of course not.” Nicole grinned at her mate. “Are
