After War Storm

Jake

Jake was the boy who's power had been taken and was interviewed.

"She didn't see you, she didn't see you," I whispered to myself, hugging my knees close to my chest. I rocked back and forth as I trembled, sitting in the corner of my room.

I repeated it over and over, trying to convince myself she hadn't seen me.

I couldn't go through that again.

She'd done so much damage the last time I'd been with her, I couldn't face it again now.

I'd seen her in the corridor with another girl; I didn't know her name. She'd been holding a baby, a baby I recognised but couldn't place.

I'd told Mare partly what had happened to me in the past, maybe she could help me now.

I was terrified of even leaving this room, of her finding me, getting inside my head again.

I should probably tell someone she's here, she is a Whisper after all.

I hadn't told Mare her name. I'd told her I didn't know who she was. But I'd lied.

I knew who she was.

But I could barely think her name.

But now she was here, undoubtedly causing trouble.

She was evil.

I guess that's what happens when you're a Merandus.

Daughter of Samson, niece of Elara.

They don't raise kids to be nice and play fair.

I'd have to do something to stop her.

I'd have stop Maria.

I know this is a very short chapter but it needed to go here.

Next chapter is back to Cal and it should be up very soon.
