The day

08:36 pm

As long as I can do it. I will go along with Brianna's lies. Now I am sure Mark is up to something. 

Lucie thought, as she looked at Mark's panicking face.

I seriously need to talk to Brianna..Right now.

Lucie looked at Mark's eyes, concentrated on freezing him. She whispered in his mind ;FREEZE MARK; And after moments, Mark froze.

"LUCIE!? Why do that?!" Brianna screeched, as she stood up from the bed she's been sitting on for 3 hours.

"Calm down Brianna, I want to ask you what is going on. He is really nervous, you are skipping parts of the story. D-do you s-see it?" Lucie made sure she chose her words wisely.

"Y-yes. I... I d-do. He has it on his right hand. He's a Crystal Sovereign. I didn't tell him that Sara gave me the Sight because I-I umm do not trust him. Remember Sara told me, the people that got a 'copy' of the inner energy has an invisible emblem just people with the Sight can see it? Well, y-yes. I-Its there." Brianna was rubbing her hands to stop them from shaking.

"HOLY COW!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!" Lucie screamed at Brianna.

"NO! No! We should wait to know what he's up to. I got a vision that I met Dean again, he isn't dead Lucie, we did not kill him. Mark is going to take action now or after 5 minutes, take us back to Dean and the rest. We won't tell him Dean's alive, let's see his reaction. Act normally and resist as much as you can when he tries catching us. But do not forget, we want to destroy them all, not only Dean." Brianna was whispering, as if Mark can listen to them.

"Okay," Lucie looked at mark again, but before she ordered him to move again she told Brianna. "but sit the way you were sitting before he suspects something. And THANK GOD DEAN IS NOT DEAD I WAS SO SCARED I'M GOING TO GO TO HELL! And, one question."

"Yes?" Brianna said, quite nervous.

"Why didn't you tell me that your mom spoke to you before I appeared?"

Brianna felt a hit of guilt. 

"First, sorry. Second, I didn't have time. Third, I am lying to him. I will tell you the real story later."

"BUT wait. What do you mean you are lying to him?"

"He killed my mom. Not Dean."

"WHAT! THIS SAVAGE! LET US KILL HIM NOW AND GET THIS OVER WITH!"

"No! Lucie! I have a big plan in my head. Trust me. Go on with it."

Lucie took a deep breath. 

"Okay. Take your place."

Brianna relaxed, whipped of the drops of sweat sliding across her forehead and pushed her hair back of her neck. Lucie rook a moment to recollect her strength.

Sometimes trying to relax is exhausting.

She brought Mark back to life, acting as if nothing happened and Brianna resumed her talk.

Today

08:53 am

"WAKE UP BRAINNA COME ON!" Lucie screamed from across the room waking Brianna up from her sleep. Her dreams the past days got more vivid and clear. She dreamed of no one but her mother. Her mother singing. This time, the song was different. The words were hard to understand.
