"OMG!" We all just stood there in shock. The book contained all of our deepest, darkest secrets. What are we supposed to do?! And who knew/read ?! We were all worried.
"Carlyn, read people's mind, maybe you will find out who it is," Richard suggested. "I tried! They are blocking it out! I can't tell who, it's hopeless!" she exclaimed.
"Look, we are gonna find out this stuff eventually, best one person knows already. Let's just let one person know, and the rest of us find out when the time is right. We are gonna have to trust each other, plus who are we going to tell? We have to trust each other eventually right?" said Stacie. Wow, she actually said something intelligent. We all grumbled in agreement.
"Well lets, just, um, get to POWERS chapter. OK?" I flipped over to the first page of the chapter.
Powers can reflect differently on Sources. Sources are people with supernatural powers. The powers reflect on aspects of one's personality or trait. The max is 3, although if you have the EXTREMELY rare case of having 4, which is the absolute most, you are called a Wunder. It activates once in a certain environment and once adrenaline is brought from the veins. This can happen once a person's main emotions or traits come to show. It can develop when curious about others, in which case a power may emerge that involves others. It rarely comes out when nothing is happening, so most likely comes when one is stressed. It can happen when one is thinking about their past or worrying about their future. Sometimes it comes just from patience. Other times it comes from being provoked on territory or a person.
This made me blush, I saw Jason staring at me, smirking. Oh right I sorta confessed it was about him.
Other times it can just come from pure bliss, or happiness. Such as hearing a truth that previously you didn't know, or maybe just from thinking about someone. Sometimes it just comes from love, probably from your partner or mate. Other times it just forms from the situation your in, where you need to develop that certain power. Other times it comes when you're in a panicked state. Never the less this usually happens when you're in Somnium. This is a place you will learn about in another chapter. You develop these powers at your 'ripe' state, ages 16-17. Only certain people get these powers, ones with powers, destiny, and talent.
Wow. That explains a lot.
We all stared at each other. We're.... Sources? I couldn't believe it. We were special. This was destiny. We were in what I'm assuming is Somnium.
"So . . . This explains how a lot of us got our powers. Like Emera, you got your first one when you were being territorial and angry at Stacie," Carlyn pondered. I blushed. Carlyn continued. "And your other one when you were about to get crushed by a bed and the other when you were happy about . . . well I'll leave it." Jason's eyes widened, "Jason you got your first power when you were put into the situation to remove milk from Stacie's outfit. And your second one from protecting Emera. Marcus, I think you were stressed, it was our first night here of course. Stacie you got your's from when you were about to fall in the water and when you had to heal Jason. Zoey got hers because she was stressed as well. Tyler you got yours from panicking about Jason, same for you Chase. Richard we're still waiting for you. I got mine from patience and listening to Emera. And . . . I think that's it."
"Actually I have a confession, I did develop a power. I just didn't show you guys," Richard said. Then he disappeared. The entire room gasped. He then popped up behind Jason. In a deep voice he said "Surprise motherfucker!" Jason let out a startled scream. I fell on the floor laughing my ass off. I adjusted the glasses on top of my head, pulling it into a headband. I covered my braces with my hand through my chuckles.
Richard is one of my best friends, so we high-fived. "I got invisibility when I was spying on you two, you were about to catch me, but then I turned invisible."
"I KNEW I HEARD SOMETHING!" growled Marcus. Carlyn's face turned red. "Yeah, yeah." Replied Richard. "Don't worry, I didn't hear much of your convo."
"OK let's just um, read another chapter later this week. This is a lot to process. Why don't we do an activity?" suggested Bailey. We all yelled in agreement. "Any ideas?" We all thought. What could we do? What was something that was missing here that was back in the real world? I'm just assuming.
School? Nah that was something we probably didn't miss. Maybe it was something at school. Food? Nah we had plenty of that, Bailey usually cooks for all 10 of us. Um. Let's think. What was something we missed at school? Basketball games? There were only 10 of us. Plus the boys always play basketball. Football? Nope still the same thing. Soccer? We play that sometimes, but not much though. Let's move from sports. I think there was something I wold always do. I GOT IT!
Carlyn smiled. "Emera that's a great idea! And it goes perfectly that I found recently! I was going to show you guys but then the book, and OH! I should show you now!" She ran off as we ran after her. This is the most excited I've seen her. What could it be? We entered an unfamiliar room. We don't have time to explore the entire mansion. There was always an unknown room. What can I say?
"HOLY BASHIZZLES!" screamed Tyler. We were in the room. It seemed all High tech! Computers and gadgets EVERYWHERE! But what really surprised us is what was in the center of the room. It was a giant metallic contraption. On the top it said 'Transportation simulator'. Wait what did that mean?
"I haven't used it yet, but I know how it works. It can send you back to the real world wherever you want to go, but everyone has to step into the machine holding hands, and it has to be all 10 of us, it has our places on the floor. We put in the settings where we want to go. We can talk to people, but we aren't allowed to tell them anything about this place. Or frankly anything that has anything to do with when we got here to now. We can take what we want back with us, as long as it isn't dangerous or a person. I was thinking we could go shopping and from the treasury room get the money we need to buy the stuff for Emera's idea. Once we are all ready to go home we step in the order and hold hands and POOF! We're back! We can only stay there for a limited time though."
"Sounds awesome! Let's go!" cheered Chase. We were all set up in a circle the order like this:Me, Jason, Stacie, Chase, Zoey, Tyler, Carlyn, Marcus, Bailey, Richard.
Jason jokingly winked at me, causing my cheeks to flush pink. Damn this boy. Jason grinned, "Back home, huh?"
I shrugged, "Never liked the city, I'll admit."
Jason stared at me, before staring ahead. Hm.
Carlyn put in the coordinates for the mall closest to me and Jason's home and there was a bright light.
