After we all finished our lasagna, we sat in the living room to just chill. Olivia and Danielle sat on one side of the couch while Thomas sat on the other side. I walked by Thomas and he grabbed my waist to try and pull me to sit in his lap. He failed. "Thomas!" I yelled, slapping his hands from my waist. "I don't want to hurt you." I stated, not meaning only by crushing him.
"Ugh." He growled as I sat in between him and the girls. We talked and joked around for about 2 hours until their parents got home. It was 5:30 and it was time for me to head home.
"Bye everybody!" I waved to them and shut the door behind me. After I was half way down their sidewalk, I felt someone grab me and hold a piece of cloth over my mouth. It wasn't long before everything went black.
When I woke up, I had a headache and I was confused. I was in an empty room. It only had a bed and a large mirror in it. "Hello?" I shouted.
Then the door suddenly opened and a muscular man walked in. "Hello Nicole. How are you?" He asked nonchalantly. I stood up quickly but a sharp pain pushed me back down. "No no. Stay seated." He ordered as I glared at him.
I swallowed hard. "Y-you're a d-dimesta?" I stated in more of a questioning form.
He smirked. "So you know we exist. Which must mean you know a dimesta or you are one. Which is it?"
"Both." I simply stated.
"Atleast I know you're not lying." he chuckled to himself.
"What? Where's Nate?!" I shot up from the bed, ignoring the pain. The man stepped towards me, trying to push the pain further but I wouldn't break. "Where. Is. He." I demanded to know.
"You. I can't believe it. You're a Kursk, aren't you?" he responded, asking a question instead of answering mine.
I nodded. "Yeah, how'd you know?"
He stopped the pain and smiled. "Kursks can shield themselves from other dimestas powers. With dimestas that read minds, they can't read yours. Dimestas with powers like mine, you can lower the pain to make it tolerable for yourself." he explained.
I nodded again. "Where is Nate?" I asked again.
"Impatient, are we?" he paused, laughing to himself. What a joke. "He's fine. He's in another room being questioned about his dimestaty."
"Dimestaty?" I asked, confused.
He nodded. "It's about what kind of dimesta you are and how you're using your 'powers'. If you're using them for good or bad."
"So what kind of dimesta are you?" I asked.
"I'm a piarnty."
"So what can piarntys do?" I continued asking questions.
"We make all of the nerves in your body react to our desire, causing pain to surge throughout the body." he explained.
"Sounds... Painful."
