"What do you mean 'safe house'?" I asked.

Jane rolled her eyes at me," I mean, it's a house that's safe"she said sarcastically.

I give up trying to ask her questions. All she does is lie or respond sarcastically.

" Hey...," She says," we're a team now. you're just gonna have to trust me."

I look up at her confused. Now we're a team? doesn't feel like a team.

" Why do I even try with you," She questions herself.

"Sorry..." I apologize.

" Too late, loving moment is over."

I want to stick out my tongue so badly right now! But i am not a 6 year old anymore. I am a smart and sophisticated young woman... that's being chased by story book characters.
Who am i kidding?

" Let's go." Jane interrupts.

" How long will it take?" I ask.

"Depends," She thinks," But it should take around a week or two... we'll be stopping to rest, obviously."

That's a lot longer than i thought.

" But before we go... we need to test out your ability"

" on what?"

"Me , obviously."

"WOW! NO WAY! THERE IS NO FRICKIN WAY IM DOING THAT!" I yell.

" Don't over exaggerate this Melony." She sighs.

" Over exaggerate!?OVER EXAGGERATE! I MADE TOBY FEEL PAIN! AND A LOT OF IT TOO! I AM NOT GOING TO DO THAT TO YOU!"

" Why do people always have to scream?" She sighs again," look. you're going to do it, or i am going to leave you."

"WHA-!.......but i don't want to hurt you."

" I'm Jane... I can handle it. Just hurry up, i want to leave before the sun is peaked."

I don't want to do this at all... but I don't think I have a choice...

" by the way..... I think you have some kind of healing ability... I don't want to say 'power'... that sounds too cheesy."

" And why do you think that?" I mumble.

" Because Toby frickin axed your leg and now there's not even a mark." She says plainly playing with her nails.

what?

I pull up my pant leg and stare at it amazed. I run my finger over it lightly... nothing. not even a scar. which is unbelievable. That thing should have put me in a hospital room.
What is happening to me? What did that slug do to me?

" We can figure that out later... hurry up and do that mind thing."

I try and avoid the fact that I might have healed myself and walk over to Jane. I look at her calm face.... And I put my hand on her forehead. I can tell that my fingers are could to the touch... she flinched.

" Ready?" my voice squeeks.
" just go."

I add more force to the weight of my hand on her head and think.

I want those memories. Core memories. I need them. Give me your thoughts and feelings.

All I hear is my thoughts. Everything around me is silent. I imagine tubes.... I'm moving fast and zooming past them. I'm guessing I'm in the brain. There are small floating circles, and each time I look at one I see a memory.

I wonder if she is screaming right now?

And then I get sucked out. Frick, I lost the train of though it was holding.

Jane gets in my vision and I am back in the house.
"Jane!" I yell.

The sight of her makes me feel nauseous. She is sweating and panting like she just ran a marathon.

" Are you ok!?"

All she does is nod. Oh god what have I done to her?

"No, No you're not," I whisper.

And then I notice a scar next to her right ear... And somehow, I know EXACTLY when and how she got it.

It worked.
