Seth was becoming almost entirely normal again; he was fussing over her every move, but she was confused about one thing. Saleaah knew that he and Leah would sneak out at night time. Asking how she knew would be a terrible question; by now, we know the prophet barely sleeps.

Leah was even crankier now than she had been before, and Saleaah could not help but hate what the older girl felt. So, what better way to change her older sister's emotions than swaying them herself?

___________________________________________________________

Today was a Friday. A bad fucking day. Normal teens would be happy that today was the weekend Jr., but Shia was not. Maybe it was because her sister's mood was worse than Bella Swan's when the-ones-who-shall-not-be-named left. Speaking of them, all of the sudden both Jasper and Rosalie have been blowing up her phone. 

Of course the prophet sent out a not-so-polite "fuck you" and blocked them. Well, little Saleeah is not that savage and sent a 'wrong number' text instead. If they couldn't even have the decency to tell her goodbye or even let her know that they were leaving, why should she forgive them at a single text. 

At this point, Saleaah did not have anyone who could help her with this empathic shit, so she had to figure it out on her own--aka via Billy Black. She would have rather done it herself, but no one else could guide her to true answers like an elder could. Yes, Sue was now an elder, but she did not want to worry her mother.

"Sae, are you ready?" Leah asked from the outside of the younger girl's door. Shia looked from the window that displayed the gloomy air surrounding the area, but slowly going towards a rare sunny day. 'I hope good weather means good news.' Saleaah hoped walking out of her room down towards a glowering Leah's car.

Abort. Abort. Good weather means bad fucking news. Leah Clearwater, also known as our pride and joy's older sister, is on her bullshit today. Normally, Saleaah could tolerate it, but now it feels like she is just letting people's emotions get the best of her. 

"Lee, you don't have to take me home after school. I'm going to go visit Billy." Shia told the older girl during their last class period and in response a Leah gave the girl an annoyed eye role. "Yeah, okay. Whatever." Leah muttered which earned a glare from the younger. 

'I should be used to this by now. Yet, same shit different day.' Shia sighed as she stared at Leah who now had her attention elsewhere. As the youngest Clearwater stared at her sister, the only thing she focused on was projecting positive emotions towards the other, emotions that were indeed not her own and forced.

In the matter of seconds, Saleaah could see Leah's poster change. Her shoulders rose, the scowl on her faced was replaced with a ghost smile..her emotions looked so close to how the old Leah's emotions were, so close that Shia wanted to jump for joy. But, just as quickly as the old emotions came, they were gone as Leah's glare faced her baby sister. 

"What the hell did you just do?" the taller girl asked, and Shia panicked turning on her heels and quickly walking away.

'What did I just do? Did I make it worse? I'm such a terrible person.' Saleaah scolded herself as she let her feet guide her towards the person she was seeking. Billy Black.

"I wonder what I have so graciously done in my past life, for our very own Saleaah Clearwater to pay me a visit." Billy joked wheeling away from the door, Saleeah taking that as a cue to follow behind him, gently closing the door. "I'm sorry that I haven't visited you since my...since, um, you know." the younger girl sighed, not wanting to mention her father's death.

"I know, little one. I am just pulling your leg." Billy smiled at the timid girl who fiddled with her fingers, glancing at the male who placed a glass of orange juice in front of her. "But seriously, what brings you by? Is your mother alright?" Billy asked starting to become nervous himself, but why so easily?

Saleaah analyzed Billy's feelings before realizing that for some reason, she could now influence other's emotions. The young girl gnawed at her lower lip as she became more upset with herself for what she could do, what she could not control.

"Is this about your gift or your prophecy?" Billy's eyes turned serious as their eyes clashed, one blazing with innocence and the other showcasing their knowledge.
