I took Lance to a secret garden that the school has, ready to grill him with questions. However, I feel he has domes questions for me as well.

"Snap" I froze as we were at the entrance of the garden. A second after a heard an echo snap in my ear. I release his hand as I move backwards, entering the garden. "Don't worry, I don't cause them. I just figured out their pattern." Huh, now that he mentions it, there is some what of a pattern within these voices. "Name.." I say, thinking the names were next. He shakes his head. "It's the phrase," the of so well known phrase "Hear me and hear my call. For an end I wish upon you all," echoed in my ears.

"Now next will be the names." He walks over to a bench that is angled at a fountain with roses on them. I follow behind him. "So..how did you figure out the pattern?" He shifts his weight to look at me, "I hardly doubt that is the most important question to ask right now." I shift uncomfortably, how do I possibly tell him I started hearing these terrible screams after fighting a super villain. "Keith," he starts and I glance in his direction, "yeah.." he clears his thought "why do you think you hear these noises."

I fiddle with my hands before taking a deep breath in, "It started one night when I was out, in the wrong place at the wrong time. I watch a fight no one was supposed to see," he looks at me, listening to every word. So I may be milking the truth a little, I'm only changing the point of view in which i was in. "I watch people falling, I heard screams, I...saw people minutes before their death over and over again until this scream stuck with me." Lance was about to tell me his side before he said "screams," we both heard the painful screeching, clenching our ears and almost crying. "My..." Lance started "situation is similar to yours. I'm not sure what else to add on to it though," we sat in an uncomfortable silence for some time before he spoke again. "The pattern switches from time to time, however it usually goes "Snap, phrase, names, screaming, screaming.  It isn't always that way, but usually it is." My breathe hitches, I'm not alone here. We both hear these screams and voices, "every nine minutes," "huh?" "They come every nine minutes, if that helps in any way." He winces in pain, he probably aggravated his migraine. "Thanks," I place my hand on his hand, "this helps a lot."

We stay together in each presence, watch the water flow from the top of the fountain.

"Hey..." Lance looks over at me, "do you hear that?" He looks around for a moment, "hear what?" I smile "Exactly."

We look at each other, "I'm not following," Lance said with a guilty smile on his face. I huff with annoyance, "Lance, how long have we been in this garden?" "About..half an hour maybe," I grab his hands "and how often did you say each voice or scream comes?" His eyes widen in realization, "nine minutes..NINE MINUTES! Keith, wait wait..." he stops talking before shifting to face me completely and lifting the hand I help his in higher. "Does this mean...we dont hear those horrid things if we are together for a long time?" I thought for a little, this is a possibility we didn't know was possible. "Maybe, however i for one would love to test it out."

Guess what, I will be able to do an update daily now. I might upload a double chapter today.
