"How far can you reach your awareness? Are you able to touch on the emotions of any animals outside the university gates?"

Instructor Abarra paces back and forth in front of me, Wyatt's hand warm, broad, and tight in mine. I should be concentrating on using my Emotional Affinity to find animals to communicate with—Abarra made it clear that I wouldn't be getting the chance to release more of the university's lab rats, snakes, birds, or cats—but my mind is other places.

Grayson didn't show up to training today.

He left Wyatt with a note to give us; apparently he's "sick." I don't believe it. It's clear that he's avoiding me. Ever since I developed the ability to take away the guys' weaknesses when we maintain physical contact, he's been afraid to get close enough to brush against my sleeve. And just because I know why doesn't mean that I appreciate being treated like a disease carrier.

Besides, there's something I want to try with my Spiritual Affinity. So far I haven't been able to tap into it at all unless we were touching. He owes me the chance to figure it out—he's my Conduit for a reason, after all. It frustrates me that he's blowing our training off when it's so important.

"Something wrong?" Wyatt eyes me sideways, curiosity in his eyes. "You seem... distracted."

I can tell it still surprised him when he can speak for long stretches without stumbling over his own tongue. The words leave his mouth at a clipped pace, as if tumbling off his tongue, falling carelessly from his lips. I'm happy for him—and irritated at myself for not paying attention to the task at hand.

"Just frustrated. I wish my powers made sense."

"They will," he reassures me. "Mine didn't really start to work well, until one day, they just did. Then the weakness came." The grimace on his face makes it clear how he feels about that. "You'll know that your powers have settled the day you find your weakness."

I wonder what it was like for Wyatt, suddenly waking up one day to discover his voice had been strangled by a wayward tongue. Or Levi, walking along a tightrope only to hear a groan and a clatter as his graceful body made more noise than it should have. For Mason it would've taken a wound—maybe one of the scars across his face showed him his weakness. And of course, Grayson would've stumbled in pain, unable to walk, and sought answers in the form of a pill bottle.

Shaking off the thoughts, I quip at Wyatt, "I hope my weakness turns out to be the inability to fart."

He grins. "Me too."

"Now, about these powers..."

Concentrating, I let my awareness ripple out. During Emotional Class we learned how to center ourselves, take deep breaths, and release our worries with a simple sigh. Telling everyone what I was concerned about wasn't top of my list, but I gave a few bullshit, simple confessions to the group: I was worried about my classes, about graduation, and concerned about the man who kidnapped me.
