“He’s a leech,” Jerome said. “Mortal psychics vary from low levels—really just very sensitive, perceptive people—to the higher-functioning psychic ability that goes beyond perception to actually picking up and reading brain waves. We can see that they have extra activity on their brain scans, but we’ve never been able to isolate what causes it.”

Carla looked over her dad’s shoulder at the computer where he had a brain-mapping example that he had pulled from his files. “I see that. But what do you mean by leech?” She had told her dad about Keri yelling at her, and that Sutton didn’t believe it was Keri.

He looked up at her face. “Generally, a mortal psychic pulls information from people physically close to them by reading their brain waves. Think of it like the pebble in the pond and the resulting ripples. Our brain waves send out ripples into the atmosphere. The ripples are strongest near our brains, then they fade the farther they travel.” Her dad’s eyes got that keen, curious light he always had when researching. “Now theoretically, a very strong psychic can project his brain waves into another person’s brain waves and alter their thoughts.”

In spite of a few hours sleep, she still had a low-level headache. Rubbing her forehead, she said, “Okay. They aren’t using chakras like witches, right?”

He shook his head. “No, they don’t have magical powers like an earth witch, like Keri, who pulled on her chakras to connect with you telepathically. It’s more like they have advanced brain waves that can actually read and interpret another person’s brain waves. Now, if you’re right and Styx was using Keri’s voice and projecting it to you on the astral plane, that would be virtually impossible for a mortal psychic. In most cases he couldn’t reach across an average city, let alone to another plane of existence. His brain waves just wouldn’t be that strong.”

She began to understand. “That’s why you called him a leech. He’s leeching from Keri. She has a connection to me and that creates a magical trail between us. He’s using that trail to send his psychic attack. That’s how he’s getting to me.”

“Right. I don’t know how he used her voice, probably some kind of memory trick, shuffling Keri’s words that are stored in your brain.”

Unless it was Keri. Stop it, she told herself. She was letting him win by allowing the doubts he was seeding to take hold. She remembered the anger that had come through in the attack. “He’s mad, Dad. I could feel the rage in Keri’s screaming. It wasn’t Keri’s rage. She was quick to anger, and even quicker to get over it. Remember? Her anger always felt like a huge puff of hot air that dissipated quickly.”

Jerome took a drink of his coffee, set the cup down, and said, “What did it feel like?”

Carla moved to the side to sit on the edge of her desk. “Like being stabbed repeatedly.” She found herself rubbing her head again, trying to get rid of the residual ache.
