Ringlets curled around a beautiful Mediterranean face. Her cleft chin only added to her exotic allure. She stared at me, anger filled her eyes. Her bottom lip trembled as she whispered with an unnervingly calm ferocity, “Blast them.”

Consciousness came slowly despite the premonition I had that morning. The moment they saw my eyes had opened, I was barraged with a detailed plan of action. My father and Luther would set up their own secret dwelling that we would be welcome to. They felt strongly that their location would be secure from the minds of those involved with the tree house. Curtis would also begin using different gifts to try and reverse the loyalty of the professors involved.

Vlaine, Draxe, Liz, and I would go to the academies and slowly begin warning people. Any of those who wanted to take refuge in a safer location with us were welcome. If we were lucky they would be willing to help with siphoning the malignant infiltration of the organization that had held me captive.

The idea of using our abilities for something good was humbling. Being able to stop the horrible things that went on at the tree house would be an indescribable and self-fulfilling justice. Our opinions differed on how exactly we would deal with Jeremiah and the rest of the workers because the word “terminate” was repeated by Curtis, when I was rather fond of the term “cure.” I let the difference of opinion slide because it could be dealt with another day.

Each person took their turn getting their hygiene up to par in preparation for the work we had ahead of us. My mind wandered to the things that I had missed the past couple months. Christmas, New Years, and the start of the second semester were taken from me. Draxe shared with me how my disappearance was covered up. My mother and Steph had been informed that I landed the internship at Hagan Think Tank. I was unable to come home for the holidays due to a convenient snow storm that clogged up the Albany airport. Vlaine texted the two on occasion to make sure they would buy the internship story.

Apparently there was a point when Steph had caught on to the difference in text messages and he had to emulate me just so he could answer the phone when she began calling like crazy. My eyes watered with the thought of how well Steph knew me. She may not have been born with innate gifts worthy of the academies, but she was undeniably intelligent and perceptive.

Liz had to sigh and roll her head for me to finally get up from the bed and shower. I could practically hear her tapping her foot on the other side of the door urging me to hurry up. Apparently the golden ticket of kindness from Liz resulting from a kidnapping and torturing ordeal was only good for one day. At least with a friend like her, there was no time to wallow in self pity.
