"What was that?" Luke yelled at amphrite as he walked her away from the others. He had told her that he needed to speak with her while the others continued their training. "I was just doing what you said!" Amphitrite said defensively. "I was only sparing." She added as she crossed her arms over her chest. "That was not sparing." Luke countered, obviously upset. "What's the big deal?" Amphitrite seethed. "It's not like I hurt her! She's fine!" "To you, maybe." Luke replied. It was obvious from his tone that he was highly disappointed in her but Amphitrite just couldn't see why. She met his disappointment with solid attitude. "Amphitrite you cannot just reach inside someone like that and take control of their body. It's not your place and it's not right." Amphitrite scoffed. "You are the one who taught me to use the water within living things!" She fought back. "If anything this is your fault!" She yelled. Luke froze. His eyes darkened. "I think it's time you took a break from using your abilities for the next few days." he told her sternly. "What?" Amphitrite shrieked. "You cannot make me do that!" She screamed. "You need to clear your mind and fix your attitude." Luke added. "Fix my attitude?" Amphitrite scoffed to herself. "I'm not the only one here with an attitude." "Amphitrite silence!" Luke yelled, startling the elemental and she stepped back, looking at him with wide frightened eyes. "For the next five days using your powers is forbidden." "But-" "And using your powers to control someone like that is forbidden forever." There was a chilling silence that seemed almost deafening as Amphitrite stood with a mix of cowardice and anger. "Now go back to your room. Alone."

Amphitrite grumbled to herself as she walked back to her room alone. It wasn't until she heard someone else call her name and walk up to her that her attitude lifted for just a few seconds. "Hey!" Ben said as he walked over to her. "That trick you did with Hazel was amazing!" He told her with the tiniest smile on his pale face. "How'd you do it?" He asked. Amphitrite looked at the ground as she walked, arms crossed over her chest, and then she looked up at him. "Most of the human body is made up of water." She said with a dismissive shrug. "By controlling the water inside the body I can control the human." "You can control water you can't see? That's so cool!" Ben said. Amphitrite rolled her eyes. "Yeah well Luke doesn't think so." "What?" Ben asked suddenly. "Why?" The elemental sighed. "He thinks it's wrong for me to 'reach inside of someone and control them like that'." Now Ben scoffed. "What?" "I know!" Ben took her hands as he looked down at her. "You know why he's acting like that, right?" Amphitrite looked up at him with confused ocean blue eyes. "Why?" She asked. "Because he's afraid of you. He saw one glimpse of the sheer power of your abilities and you managed to frighten him." Her eyes searched his as he spoke and his voice became quiet. "Just like me."
