Hope was annoyingly smart. That was a thing. Lizzie had a brief moment of wondering if that was why they hadn't gotten along for all that time before they supposedly became friends.
Lizzie watched her do the spell, a little envious it was that easy for her, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she stepped forward and placed a hand on Hope's arm, the red glow quickly transferring power between them. A gust of wind picked up as the magic immediately flowed through her.
"I don't want to hurt anyone." she confirmed before letting out a scream, hands at her sides as the pulse of magic kicked out, knocking over a shrub and a couple of branches from a nearby tree. It lasted at least a minute before Lizzie slumped to the ground.
"I'm sorry." she said quietly. "I'll take the meds."
