Chapter 20
Kayla’s POV
Slowly, I felt my defenses go down. With Haley, I could be myself. Maybe....maybe I could start to call her my friend. That last thought rolled around in my mind. Friend. I had never had a friend before. It would be nice, knowing someone had your back.
My thoughts were interrupted by the snap of a twig.
"What the heck was that?" Haley asked.
I stood up, eyes searching the darkness. I instantly went into defense mode.
"Don't know. Stay alert. Be ready for anything." I advised.
Haley nodded, also standing. I closed my eyes and focused. I felt the edge of Haley's mind. It radiated with adrenaline, alert and ready to fight or flight. I ignored her mind and pushed further into the darkness. If felt the mind of a jack rabbit and then...something else.
I pushed further into this mystery mind. It trembled, not with fear but with power. Darkness filled my mind. I found myself not taking over this mystery consciousness but getting lost in it. I scrambled, trying to free myself.
But the darkness had already caught me. It wrapped itself around my consciousness, exploring this foreign object that invaded its space. I found myself pushing back, separating myself from it.
Finally, I divided from it. It released me and I floated back to my own body. I heard myself gasp, eyes flashing open. I was on the ground. Haley knelt beside me with a worried expression on her face.
"What happened? You just suddenly collapsed!" Haley exclaimed.
"Yeah..." I whispered hoarsely, pushing myself up. "That happens when I try to take possession."
Haley stared at me in horror. "You tried to take over someone’s mind?!?!" She nearly shrieked.
"No...just felt it for a mind." I corrected. I looked out into the darkness. "There's something out there." I whispered. I felt my fists clench. "Show yourself!" I called out.
Silence rang out in answer. And then a shadowy figure stepped forward.....
