FIRST PERSON POV

I laid on my bed, still shaken up by everything. I never thought I'd feel true fear, really ever. But I had actually felt it. And to be frank, I would rather not have the sense of dread ever again. When I was younger, I would always read about this emotion, about the sense of dread that one could have for something, or someone. I never really understood it until now. I guess the books were right, fear truly is something a human being would rather not feel.

Thinking about it makes me sick, I'm not scared of anything and I find it uncanny how I'm afraid of my superior. Not in the intimidation type of way but the actual fear from the true bottomless depths of my heart. I can't even tell Unknown about the type of psychopath Perpetual is, she could just bring up the fact that I have powers. Usually, if it were any other person I wouldn't really mind and I could just claim that Perpetual was lying. But something tells me that it was better to not lie to the Unknown about something as dire as that.

I start to hug my extra pillow, looking back at the past experiences that had just happened. I don't think I was gone for that long. But that wasn't bothering me, the fact that someone in the world other than me knows about my powers was what was causing me immense stress at the moment. What would happen if Perpetual found a way to show Puzzle, or even worse the authorities about my supernatural powers? Would they take me back to those labs? I didn't realize how deep in thought I was until I heard Loid calling us down for... dinner? WAIT WHAT?? BREAKFAST??

I shot a look at the clock and had seen that it was almost time to go to school. I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night, that's just great. I went into Anya's room to see if she was ready, well she has been going to Eden for a good few weeks now. As I entered, I wasn't even surprised when I saw the girl sleeping while clutching onto her pillow. I just rolled my eyes, and threw a pillow at her face. She suddenly jumped onto the bed in a spy stance.

"Wagh- Agent Peanut ready for action- Nee-chan?"

"Leave the role-playing for later dingbat, we have to go to school,"

Anya and I were pestering each other, while we ate and on our way to the bus stop. After she got on her bus, I went on mine to get to school. School was ordinary, but something else lingered on my mind. When Perpetual was interrogating me, something about my powers changed. Maybe a power up? Usually with my powers I can only do so much, but when I was in the pinnacle of anger I had caused the room to shake, and when I used my x-ray vision while licking some of her blood I was able to squeeze her heart. I had never really used the power of taste whenever I was out doing my investigations, nor did I ever try to combine the five mini powers I have. Just thinking about the actual depth to my power made me sort of self conscious. I need to figure out how to control this power, and I need to figure out the full extent of it. I was in deep thought before I had bumped into someone. Great, even with great sensory skills I still bump into someone.

"Sorry," I said formally but internally I was cursing myself for doing something as stupid as that. It was kind of ironic since I was just thinking about how great my powers really could be but then I'm here bumping into random people. Great. I didn't realize, but a protective arm was holding me and making sure I wasn't about to fall.

"You really are always in your head aren't you," the same monotone and calm voice replied to me, I looked up and saw that Demetrius was holding me up. I looked at him, as he continued to hold me. What was he trying to achieve through still holding me?

"Thanks... Desmond," I said quickly, looking away. I could feel him sigh heavily, and I shot him a glare, "Are you going to let go of me now-" I tried to talk but he cut me off.

"I've been trying to get to talk to you but you always seem to get out of my grasp," he interrupted me with his nonchalant voice which sort of irked me but I just remained neutral.
