Chapter Ten

Monster

Blaise gapes at the torn up field, the demolished trees, and the rolling mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

“Wow, I didn’t think I could do it.” He lets out an unnatural sounding laugh. “Holy shit.”

I pluck strands of hair out of my mouth, relieved to see that the tornadoes have vanished. “What’s going on? Are we in dreamland? Are you real, or am I just dreaming you?”

“You’re still in dreamland. I just managed to get in here with you. This is the first time I’ve actually physically enter someone’s thoughts before. Usually, I can only mentally control what they see.” He squints at the sunlight filtering through the clouds. “The blue sky.”

I start to nod, but then pause. “Wait. You can control people’s thoughts?”

His intense gaze glides to mine. “How did you think I was controlling what you were seeing?”

“I don’t know. I guess I didn’t really think about it.” The idea that he can control thoughts is mind-boggling.

He crosses his arms, staring me down. “Are you afraid of me now?”

I shake my head. “No. It just seems so … I don’t know … out there that you can do that. I didn’t know that kind of stuff was possible.”

“It’s not for most people,” he says with a simple shrug. “I’m just different.”

“It’s a really good thing that you are.” I glance at a tree torn up from the roots. “Or else I think I might have ended up with all of my bones being broken.”

His expression softens as he looks around at the trees lying sideways, the branches scattered everywhere, and the large clumps of dirt now covering the land. “Yeah, what were those things?”

“Tornadoes.”

“Tornadoes? What are those?”

“When warm and cold air meet …” I wave myself off. “Never mind. I don’t know where I’m getting this stuff or if I’m even right. Information just keeps popping into my head.”

“Maybe there’s a reason for that.” He stares at me for a heartbeat longer before taking in the scenery. “I can see why you like this place. It has a … calm way about it.”

“Yeah, I guess it does.” I can’t seem to take my eyes off him. He can control people’s thoughts, kick holes through cars, climb down cliffs without ropes. What else can this guy do?

“Allura, your staring is making me … I don’t know … uneasy,” he admits, fidgeting with a leather band on his wrist.

I force my attention elsewhere. “I’m sorry. I was just thinking about stuff.”

“It’s okay. It just …” He cups the back of his neck, scuffing the tip of his boot against the dirt. “You kind of make me nervous sometimes.”

“Oh. Okay.” Why do I make him nervous?

“It’s not bad. I’m just not used to …” He grunts something under his breath then elevates his gaze from the ground, sweeping his hair back. “So what else is there to see around here?”

I practically get whiplash from his abrupt subject change.

“I don’t know. I didn’t really explore the area too much.
