Wren blinked her eyes open and stared at Harlow’s back. She watched as the other girl’s breathing made her back move ever so slightly. She wasn’t sure how long they’d been asleep, but Wren’s had felt troubled, despite the twinge of happiness she felt from the warmth of Harlow’s presence.

Wren constantly worried that if her powers had indeed leaked over into the real world, then maybe if she had a bad dream she would like, stun everyone in a fifty feet radius or something. Knowing her luck…it would be even worse. Sighing, she pushed herself slowly up into a sitting position and pulled a pillow to nestle at Harlow’s back so she wouldn’t wake up.

At least this way one of them would finish getting a decent night’s sleep.

Wren padded down the stairs and into the empty kitchen, pulling out some coffee to pop through the machine. And cream. She desperately needed cream right now. Glancing down at her hands, she could have sworn her veins were an electric type of blueish purple, much like Murmur’s runes that lay under her skin. But that wasn’t possible, was it? Her mind was getting all sorts of messed up.

She shook her head and pulled the door open, grabbing out her cream. Tiredness still lingered in her bones and at the back of her mind. Even though she wished she could sleep, though, she didn’t dare. What if she was dangerous out here? What if she could do what she’d almost done to her friends in the game…what if she could inflict pain like that on anyone?

No, out here she had to be even more careful. These weren’t just gaming husks. Everything around her was filled with real people. She owed them all a duty of care, all of them. Including herself.

Wren paused when she realized her hands were shaking, and that’s where her mom found her. Standing in front of the coffee machine trying desperately not to have the breakdown she could feel just around the corner. From her overachieving study fanatic self in high school, to this. She’d never imagined it. Would never have realized how far she could fall.

She had to get it together, because she wasn’t alone anymore. Her mother was about to come into the condo, and Wren knew that because she could sense her, through her damned abilities.

There was no controlling this. No control over this. But she had to. If it had really leaked into her body, and through her mind, she needed control now more than ever.

“Wrenny?” Laria’s tone was soft, like she was scared to hug her daughter because she might just break if she did so. Her mother had never dealt well with any form of fragility. She was too exuberant for that.

“Mom. I…” Wren gulped down a sob she hadn’t realized was brewing. “I think I can use my abilities here.”

She ended up whispering the last bit of what she said, hoping that maybe if she didn’t speak it out loud then it wouldn’t be true.
