Amelia was frowning down at the book Luna kept skimming through, a little too desperately.

After a couple of hours of staying beside Ellie, her temperature was now normal, her consciousness returned for a few minutes before she fell asleep comfortably in Namjoon's bed. He was now sitting beside the bed, looking mildly sick to the stomach.

The aftermath was her, Lucy, Luna, the twins and Taehyung sitting in the living room, on the floor around the coffee table, while they all looked at books to look for something about mediums. And there wasn't a whole lot of information, which was leading to the twins getting frustrated, Luna being anxious and Lucy starting to get impossible to handle.

Amelia, however, was now just frowning at the book in front of her like it could come alive at any second and give her the answers she wanted.

Ellie was a half blood, which had led to her being a medium. From what Ellie had said, she had been having visions and premonitions of the future ever since she was a child. According to what the woman had said a while back in conversation with Lucy, she usually dreamed of things, had what she called 'feelings' of what could happen if things went a certain way. It usually leads to her changing her decisions, or even making others change their own decisions in fear things would turn out for the worst.

Another peculiar thing about Ellie was her aura reading. According to Taehyung, Ellie was able to read people's auras very easily and accurately.

Auras were the extension of one's soul, what poured out of them. Usually it showed personality, intentions and feelings. Taehyung even recalled Ellie saying she could see in his aura how he was a very creative person, without even knowing him well. Taehyung was a painter. The fact that Ellie had such a good grasp of it was amazing in itself. Mediums usually didn't have that much control over what they could do, mostly because magic didn't manifest very intensely in them.

So, all these things considered, Amelia really had no idea why one single vision could be harming Ellie in such a way that even her body gave up-

Oh...

Feeling a light turn on inside her brain, Amelia hit her palm on the table in reflex, making everyone around the table jump and complain about the startle.

"The hell, bitch?!" Mina groaned, scrunching her nose after having been one of the people who jumped in her place.

"It's a form of Divination!" Amelia nearly shouted, with everyone glancing at her a little weirdly.

"Divination?" Taehyung asked, frowning in curiosity "But doesn't it take magic to do that?"

"Yes, it does." Emily said, shaking her head and returning to the book she'd been reading "Which is why it can't be it- "

"Oh, yes it can!" Amelia insisted, moving to get up from the floor "And I can prove it, it's in Lucy's Grimoire."

Lucy perked up, straightening in her place and looking at Amelia like she had just said the most ridiculous thing in the world.
