I saw when Jack walked back into the room. I can feel his life force and gift flowing through his cells. The atoms around him changed, almost as if... Well crap. Now, right now? He must of somehow just figured it out! What did he do? His mind was in a different place. His brain pulses where different, mangled sorta. I turned to get a better look at Jack. His face was scrunched up. His brown hair was wind tussled and his nordic blue eyes are shining with confusion. Maybe if I am able to get close, I can calm his heart or perhaps make him forget the whole thing. No that is not right. When mom and dad died, I swore that I will only use my gift if completely necessary, not just for fun, or to make life easier. No excuses. Great, I need to figure this out. Not soon, but now. "Karen, are you okay?" Oh no, Nat. Jack and Nat are almost always together. Where Jack is, Nat is not far behind. This only complicates matters! The voice inside my head is on the verge of hysteria. Am I going insane? If only June could be in my head. She would tease endlessly on my inner dialogue. No pondering! I scowl at myself for getting distracted. " Karen, Karen, Karen why are you making that face?" I hear a pesky and annoying voice say. I look over to see Nat about to poke me with a pencil. Such civility. "Wh-What?" I stammer. I must seem like a shy, nerdy, intelligent, vertically challenged girl. "Why the scowl?" "Thoughts..." I pause. "About what?" "The future... I guess." Nat takes time to process this. His brain waves are chugging along. "Oh." This is all Nat says. Nat turns back. Finally, time to plan how to get two boys, to follow me, into the forest, and let me take them to another place entirely. Que devertido!
