"Eli are you okay? Are you fine sweetie?" Mom started the conversation after we hugged.

"Yes, Mom." I nodded.

"I was afraid, Eli. I'm sorry." I responded as if I'm curious.

" You're not normal sweetie. I'm sorry if it took long to say this." Mom whispered. I acted as I'm shocked. I already knew it from another person.

Or should I start calling him a shifter?

Mom stared at me. "You already know it, don't you?"

I refuse. I don't know why I'm following Kite. He told me not to tell to my mom but there is something that's pushing me to follow him.

"It's okay, sweetie. You don't need to lie, Eli. You can trust me."

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't utter a word.

"I'm sorry. I was afraid that they will take you again from me. But this time you need to come with them. They need your help. I'm sorry for hiding this to you for a long time. I'm really sorry for being selfish. I know that you already know it cause they are after you. You're the only one left."

The only one left?

"You already know you're a shifter. I can see it. Your memory. I can read your memory. Eli."

Ofcourse, my mother is a shifter.

"Mom?"

" I can see memories, Eli. But my powers is not clear in scanning a shifter's mind. Sometimes I can only see blurry visions and please take note. I can only read memories not thought." She explained eagerly.

"Mom, what type of shifter are you?" I asked unsurely to what she was telling about.

"I'm a memoryshifter. There are lots of type of shifters, more than you can imagine. Eli, mine is a common shifter power. I can see the memory of a person in their minds when I touch them. I can also remove some memories with the help of other shifter by giving them food." She explained it continuously.

"Chocolate Ice cream?" I asked.

"Yes, but I can't permanently remove shifters' memory. That explains your nightmares, it's actually not a nightmare for it is a memory." I gasped. I knew it, that's why it felt so real.

The boy, who is he?

I shooked my head and asked another question.

"Kimmeon Seins Smith?" I uttered my mother's name. What does it symbolizes for?

"Kimmeon Seins for Mnemokinesis." Huh? That thing actually exists tho.

"Miss Kim." It was kite calling my mom.

Where the hell did he came from?

Mom looked back.

"Mr. Kite Sineel. I have seen that you already met my daughter, Eli." Mom said.

"Miss Kim." Kite's voice turns low.

"You need her. I know, but she can't do it. She doesn't know how." Mom said continuously and without hesitating for every word. My mom's face is serious.

Kite expression was blank. If only I can read memories it would be easier to know what happened. I can feel that they knew each other before.

"I can help her." He looked at me. Kite's voice is calm yet convincing.

"Okay, I think you should bring her to Liber Orbis, Kite. I can bring both of you in the entrance." Mom said.

I blinked.

"Liber orbis?" I asked.

" Liber orbis, meaning: book sphere. It's an underground library for shifters.
It contains the books from the higher level shifters and ancient books from previous shifters ." Kite answered.

"It's the Anagram?"

"No. Anagram is in another dimension safe and far from human."

"Oh. Well that's creepy. Are we some sort of aliens?" I looked at Mom. She avoided my gaze.

"We are still human Eli." Mom spoke and smiled at me.

" There's no time to waste. We need to go to liber orbis now." Mom said

We drove with our car and stopped at a store.

It's a drugstore.

I saw Mom breathed heavily.

"I can't come with you." Mom uttered. " I already betrayed shifters since I kept you. You need to go without me."

Mom handled me a letter.

"Find this man, his a good friend of mine. He can help you." Mom whispered.

I stared at Mom. "Promise me you'll be safe?"

"I will Eli and I must."

Kite and I went out the car and Mom drove away.

I looked at the store and I realized that it was closed(even the curtains are closed). There's a strange sign in the door. It's like a number 2?

We knocked on the door

We knocked on the door. Kite is pretty becoming unpatient.

No ones answering. So we banged the door harder.

We saw an old man peeking at the curtain.

He looks around uhmm 70 years old?
