Chapter Nineteen

I checked the caller ID. “Hey Wilson,” I answered.

“I got some more information on the first victim, Tamara Mahu. Joaquín talked to her family.” I could hear him flipping through the pages of his well-used notebook.

“She worked in the local grocer and was in her last year of college. She lived in the dorm until her dad got sick, then she moved back home to help take care of him. Her former college roommate claimed that she used to mess around with tarot cards and interpret dreams and such for them. Does that mean anything to you?”

“It might. See if you can get more details from the roommate. I’ll let you know as soon as I have anything.”

“All right. You coming home tonight?”

“No. I’ll stay at my place. I’ll call you tomorrow.” I hung up before he could protest.

“She was a Dream Psi,” Ian said gravely.

“You heard that?” I tucked my phone back into my pocket.

He rolled his eyes. “Vampire,” he said matter-of-factly.

“Yeah, right. Anyway, she was a college student and a grocery clerk.”

“Then she did not know her powers.” His expression looked thoughtful, his eyes seeing something not inside this room.

“What the hell is a Dream Psi and why do you look so damn grim?”

“A Dream Psi can invade you while you sleep, psychically. ‘Psi’ stands for psychic. He or she can invade your thoughts while you sleep, when you are at your weakest.”

His eyes came back to the here and now. “Have you had any unusual dreams, my love?”

“No, not while asleep, just contact with souls while I’m awake, but never when I’m asleep.”

“You should not be alone, my love, not even in sleep. We don’t know what other abilities this vampire has acquired. Perhaps it has even taken powers from your Sebastian. Stay here with me, let me protect you.”

The words of Zarendia and Sebastian haunted me. I didn’t want to be “protected” by anyone. I could and would take care of myself.

“No.” I shook my head.

“You are in grave danger.” His eyes penetrated mine.

“Sebastian died while I was in the room Ian, one minute he was in his chair and the next he was lying on the floor dead.”

“Did you feel anything unusual?”

“Sebastian’s power was always overwhelming, even when he was drunk. The room practically buzzed when he was in it.”

“Did you shield yourself?”

I shook my head as if to clear it. “As best as I’m able. I can block the part of me that reaches into others’ auras but I can’t do that very well. I feel emotions coming from people and it can overwhelm me.”

“Just as you can be overtaken by the energy around you, others with powers can feel your energy, unless you block it.”

“I do block it.” It pissed me off that he could see my weakness so clearly.

“Let me show you techniques to improve your shields.”

“How do I know I can trust you?” It pissed me off even more that he was right. I did need to boost up my barriers, I just didn’t know how.
