Newborn Eyes

Death Master

Another fill in session! Yay! So after Ty kissed me, said it was a mistake, and then got out of there like he was running away from a killer, I called Cain into my room. No I did not tell him that Ty kissed me! All I said was that Ty and I probably weren't on speaking terms at the moment. I asked him if he could have another person try and help me control my power instead of Ty. You know, so that way I wouldn't have two things to worry about. So anyways here I am now, inside the garden room, waiting for someone(I don't know who) to come help me with my power.

I've been waiting here for about an hour, wondering if I got the time right for the training. Finally a shape comes down the hallway. I sit up straight and try to act like I haven't been sitting here for a very long time. When the person reaches the light I see the face of Ty's brother, Victor. True I have never met Victor before but I've seen pictures of him so I know what he looks like. "Constance?" he questions.

No dude, I'm just another random girl who's supposed to meet you here. "Yes that's me," I say sweetly, trying to cover up how annoyed I am.

"Hi, I'm Victor. Cain told me that my brother was helping you with your training but since you had some sort of falling out, I'll be your teacher." he explains.

"Sounds good to me," I reply.

To be completely honest, it doesn't sound good. I miss Ty teaching me, seeing him everyday. I was comfortable around him. Plus, yes I'll admit it, I do have a crush on him and I really wish he didn't say the kiss was a mistake. I don't even know if he is ever going to talk to me again after what happened. I really hope so.

"So Constance, we are going to start with you lying on the ground over here," Victor explains, knocking me out of my thoughts.

"Great, sounds comfortable," I joke.

"Yeah," Victor replies, clearly not getting my joke.

I lay down on the ground next to some rose bushes, adjusting my body on the tiled floor. Victor places a cloth over my face, explaining that the light might disturb my concentration. He tells me to try and look past the darkness and imagine a piece of paper with a list of people. I squeeze my eyes shut while trying to do exactly as he told me. I start to see something that looks like a list and I concentrate harder. The list gets clearer and I see names in front of me, scrolling through millions of names in the air. Next to the names are the causes of death. I was wrong. The people that I saw suffering did die because I didn't decide their fate. But I don't want to choose their  fate! Millions of people die every day and I don't want to go through all of them, see if they wanted to die, what they did to deserve to die, and whether or not I should keep them alive or not! Do you know how long that would take? I haven't even gone through college yet! And now I have to decide who lives and who doesn't! Or is that not even my power after all?

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ty's voice. I snap out of my thoughts and open my eyes to the black of the cloth. "I don't care what he said, I am going to train her!" Ty argues, trying to persuade Victor.

Yes! Please agree Victor! I want him to train me! I think. Contrary to how I thought he would react, Victor said, "No! She already said you two had a falling out so I'm pretty sure she has no interest in speaking to you! Please leave!"

"Fine, just tell her if she changes her mind, she can come find me," Ty says before walking away.

"Wait Ty!" I yell, ripping the cloth off my face and sitting up. "I want you to train me."

Ty turns around slowly and smiles at me. "Did you just hear that argument?" he asks.

I feel my face flush before answering, "Yes and I thought that you didn't want to speak with me so that's why I asked for someone else!"

Victor clears his throat loudly, obviously not wanting to be in the middle of this. "Okay... I'll just leave you two here," he says before exiting the garden.

Ty rushes over to me and pulls me into an embrace. "Are you okay?" he asks, pulling away to look at me, "You were screaming while you were under, I was worried."

"Yes I'm fine," I respond, "I'm just a little confused."

"About what? Your power?"

"Well yes but also about what happened the other night in my room...." I trail off.

Ty stares at me with confusion, then the realization hits his eyes and he sucks in a breath. "Oh, right, that," he says.

"Well did you really mean what you said?" I question, unable to hold the question in any longer, "Was that really a mistake?"

Ty runs his fingers through his hair before answering. "No. No it wasn't a mistake. I meant to... you know. But I just thought that maybe, I don't know."

I sat there letting him stutter. I was not going to fill in his sentences. I want him to come up with a complete idea of why he said what he said. "I just thought that you would be all freaked out and I was sort of weirded out by kissing someone that can control death. But I'm not anymore!!" he assures me.

"How can I be sure? You just said I freaked you out!" I retort, starting to get angry.

"Because.... because of this!"

Before I have time to think about what he had said, he pulls me into an embrace and kisses me with pure passion. It's not a mistake, I hear his voice say in my brain.

I pull back quickly. "Did you just put your thoughts in my brain?" I yelp, surprised.

"Yeah," he says, obviously not understanding my surprise, "I'm sorry, should I stop?"

"No, you just surprised me," I reply.

Okay  then should keep doing it, he replies with his thoughts, kissing me again, That way it won't be a surprise? Have I proven to you that it's not a mistake?

Instead of pulling back and responding, I kiss him harder. His thoughts are silenced and we both get lost in the kiss.
