The sleeping arrangements were fairly even with the girls in one room and the guys in the other. We left the adjoining doors open. I awoke from sleep to some incredibly annoying snoring. I got out of bed and walked carefully to the doorway and looked in on the boys to locate the culprit. My mind was flooded with images and memories, and dreams.

Let me just say, teenaged boys’ dreams are x-rated and I’ll leave it at that.

I noticed right away Chris’s walls were down making for a rather easy mind read. It made sense to me that maintaining a mind block was a conscious action; however, within Chris’s mind, I still found impenetrable walls firmly in place that I couldn’t get through. What was he hiding? I indulged myself a bit and searched his head for his perception of me. Ever since he was shown the vision involving me, he’d thought nothing of any other girl. His idea of the two of us, honestly, scared me. I looked beyond for the memory of the day he missed Azeel and the frustration of his failure. He almost didn’t return to the training compound. More recent was his self loathing as he realized Azeel only became a prisoner because he was too slow to retrieve him … because he made a pit-stop along the way. However, I couldn’t determine what that stop was because it was also blocked by the impenetrable walls.

I pulled out of Chris’s mind with mixed feelings.

Jonas was the snoring culprit. I delved into his body to find the cancer growing inside him. The abnormal growth was everywhere; in his abdomen, lungs, kidneys, and his brain. In fact, the tumor behind his sinuses was causing him to snore at the moment. My eyes watered at the thought of his impending death. I should tell him. I should at least try to heal him. We had several hours to go until morning, what would it hurt to try?

I focused on the tumor in his brain first, feeling the mass within my own head, reaching my mind around it like tentacles, trying to dissolve, break or shrink the lump … I pressed with my mind and excruciating pain coursed through my head as if the cancer was my own. My surroundings began to close in on me and darkness overtook me.
