Session One: Vivid Dreams

[Words in the brackets are Grace's comments through out the story]

____Session 1____

The room was silent,and everyone looked at each other wondering what to do.

"You said you psychic powers,"Jason speaks up,"When did that start?"

"When I was six.It was my first vision type kind of thing when I was sleep,"I explain,"I thought,my mother thought,that they were just really vivid dreams.I realize now that they weren't like normal dreams."

"How so?"Derek wonders.

"I can remember every detail of each one I have ever had,and I understood what was going on while it was happening even with the future technology."I inform them,"Like my first one was...."

Crunch! My blue converse pounded against the rocky ground.The surrounding were foreign to me[at the time,at least].I quickly swing my head to look behind me,only to see a piece of the silver arm with a painted red star on the shoulder.He was gaining on me.I could teleport,I wasn't focused vas he was close enough he would be teleported with me.I look back again and make eye contact with cold,Dead eyes.My eyes threatened to tear up.I had to calm down.

I focus on the sensory around me.The narrow path I was following was gravel and was still slightly covered from the afternoon snow.The light wind cause the trees to dance around me.The forest around us was vacant and under different circumstances I would have stopped to take in the beauty,probably even take a picture.I had to keep running.

My breathing was uneven and my legs were on fire.If I kept running,I would eventually collapse.But if I stop and fight him,I'll lose.I have one advantage.He couldn't bring himself to hurt you,I think.Remember the bridge,he kept you out of harms way.

I had to find a way not to get captured.I think of what Cap would say if he were on this mission with me,"Do what you do best,Grace."

I would reply,"And what's that,Stripes?"

"Trick him."

If I could get him to think I teleported,then he would stop chasing me.

I spot a tree branch hanging lower than the others.If I can attach myself to that branch,I would be able to swing myself higher and then be far enough to teleport to my apartment.

I speed up my run and pounce with my arms out.My arms grasp the branch and I use my weight to flip around,swinging myself to the next branch.

He continues running,then stops to look around for me.I gaze at him,my heart becoming heavy.

"Woah."Hannah comments.

"Wait,who was the guy?"Kendra questions.

"I haven't found out yet,but I knew him,"I tell the group.It was nice to have them listen to me.They were really interested."It was like we were close."

"Thank you for sharing that,Grace."Sarah says,"That is all we have time for today."

"I like listening to you."Kendra admits,everyone nods in agreement."The way you tell story makes everything around me disappears and all I can focus on is what is happening."

"I can't wait till your next share."Fred adds,"I think you are gonna help not only yourself here,but us too."
