In her eyes

Chapter 27-Like trying to baptize a cat

After I brought Hope back home I got a call from my mom.

"Honey, Why are both of your mates here?" She asked confused.

"And why are they soaking wet?" She tried not to laugh. 

"Well I may be in the process of getting revenge for when they fought at the house. I also may have shoved them into Jake's pool then ran away." I said quickly.

"Raven, that was over a week ago!? Your still punishing them?" She asked astonished. 

"Yes mom and I am done now." I stated matter of factly. 

"Well you better get your butt home cause even though they seem to be getting along, their getting along makes me nervous."

"But Mommmm" I whined. 

"No buts, get home now" she said then hung up.

I called her back "Did you just hang up on me?" 

"I don't know, did it sound something like this?" She said then I heard the dial tone when she hung up on me again. I couldn't help but laugh at our weirdness.

I got to the house and took a deep breath before opening the door. I looked around but didn't see anyone. I saw a note on the kitchen table and picked it up.

~Honey I had to go to the store because your mates ate the majority of our snacks while waiting for you. Also I invited them both to stay for dinner. Love, Mom~

I slowly looked around the kitchen wondering why they haven't come out yet. I walked out and looked down the hallway and didn't see anyone so I started to creep up the stairs. I reached my door and realized I still couldn't hear anything. 

I opened my door and peered inside uneasily. I didn't see them so I turned and checked the hallway before closing and locking it. I sighed in relief then turned and screamed.

 I looked around confused. I could've sworn I just saw Liam and Blake glaring at me still soaking wet. I felt like such a baby for screaming at nothing. 

'You are' Skye laughed.

'Am not' I said cutting the link. I walked over and sat on my bed wondering where the guys could be hiding. Then I felt it. I looked at my arm frozen, fear holding me in a vice-like grip.

I felt it again. A hand rubbing my arm. Then I acted like any sane person would and screamed again. I felt the hand jerk away and I started to crawl backwards into the corner of my room. My gaze covered the entire room. 'There was nothing there' I reassured myself.

'Well whatever it is it seemed to be just as afraid as us. When you screamed it quickly jerked away.' Skye told me easing my fears slightly.

I looked around the room again then scooted towards the edge of the bed cautiously. I neared the end of the bed when I felt it again, but instead of screaming I realized I felt sparks.

"Blake...Liam...." I whispered uneasily. I felt the sparks trace down my arm to my hand and I opened my hand. Whoever it was laced our fingers together immediately making me feel better. 

"Thank you. Blake or Liam?" I questioned. I felt the hands trace a b over my palm and sighed. 

"Thank you Blake" I looked around and panicked again. I let go of Blake's hand and sat down on my bed.

"Holycrapholycrapholycrap" I said panicking. "You were just here then..." I couldn't wrap my mind around it. I saw them, screamed, then they were gone. I started crying. I felt the hands grab my cheek and lift my chin. I had a feeling they were trying to tell me to calm down. But I could not handle that right now and started hyperventilating. Never tell a girl to calm down, its like trying to baptize a cat. I heard the front door opening and almost sighed in relief. 

'Mom will know what to do, she has to know' I reasoned with myself.  

I ran down the stairs and saw my mom and hugged her.

"Oh my god. Honey what happened?" I saw her look at me worried then glare down the hall.

"What did you two do?" She yelled. 

I started crying harder and she hugged me tighter before asking me. "What did these two idiots do?" While pointing to the left and right. 

"M-m-mom I j-ust w-w-alked in and t-hey w-were up-p-stairs" she pushed me away slightly.

"Honey take a deep breath and calm down" she whispered. "Tell me what happened." I took a shaky breath then another deep breath. I took a step backwards and ran into something. But it wasn't even there so I started hyperventilating again. My mom looked up confused then at me worried.  

"What do they mean?" She asked me. 

"I can't see them mom. I can't see them or hear them. I can feel them but its like walking into an invisible wall."

"Oh god Honey I need to go to sleep right now" she said seriously. 

"Mom, now isn't the time to take a nap. You are telling me that my mates are standing right there but I can't see them there." I said pointing at the doorway.

"Honey, don't panic. I want you to grab the smelling salts and use them in exactly 5 minutes ok." She said slowly.

"Why would I need to...MOM" I yelled in shock. She had just grabbed a pan off of the dishrack and slammed it into her temple. Before she hit the ground she started floating. She floated over to the couch and sunk down. I saw indents where arms were as they set her onto the couch.

"Thank you, whichever one you are" I said awkwardly. I slowly backed out of the room and ran upstairs. I had to look in two closets and a cabinet before I found the smelling salts. I hurried back downstairs and looked around the living room. I looked over at the clock and saw that I still had thirty seconds before I had to wake her up.

I just took deep breaths and counted in my head.

'Ten' I unscrewed the lid. 

'Eight' I moved over to her and sat on the floor next to the couch she was on.

'Five' I moved the hair out of her face.

'Three, Two, One' I put the salts under her nose. It took a few seconds but she groaned and pushed my hand away.

"Those things smell dreadful." She said looking over to the side, reminding me of the problem.

"Mom. Why did you do that?" I asked bewildered.

"I had to talk to the moon goddesses." She looked over my shoulder and said annoyed "Yes. There are two of them."

"Mom what did they say?" 

"Well at first they wondered why I was there so early then called me old because they thought I had already gone to bed. Your kidding right. Bed at 4:30 in the afternoon." She rambled.

"Mom, about me?" 

"Oh yes. You have just gotten your first power." She said excitedly.

"What is it? And how do I turn it off?" 

"Apparently you have the power of....Hallucikinesis. It is where you can create, shape and manipulate illusions. This can cause targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Some users can create complex and detailed worlds, others may be able to only alter the way they or the target are perceived." She finished.

"How did you feel right before they disappeared?" She asked.

"I wanted...them to....disappear" I said. "I didn't want them to be mad at me or yell." 

"So, concentrate and focus on your mates. Try to imagine them in front of you and them reappearing" She told me. I felt like I was using up my energy concentrating. I pushed one last time with all of my energy and saw them flicker into existence, then stay there. I sighed in relief and told them I could see them again before collapsing into their arms, exhausted.

"Good job, Babygirl" Liam whispered as he kissed my forehead.

I felt Blake hug my body closer before whispering "You did a great job" as I slipped into darkness.
