Chapter Fourteen

The visions came back with a vengeance. The next couple of weeks were filled with countless visions of death while I slept, but instead of weakening me as they had done in the past, they strengthened me. Ryan and I settled into a somewhat comfortable relationship. We both seemed to want to ignore what had happened between us and connected simply as seers. He was invaluable in helping me recall details in my visions that I would have missed on my own. Simon was still distrustful of Ryan but he seemed to accept that we needed him to help me get stronger to defeat my father. Once I realized that Ryan seemed to accept that nothing would ever happen between us, I was able to relax around him.

With each vision came the tracking and surveillance of the potential victims. I took a different approach with each of them since the circumstances were so varied, but the inevitable stand-off was the same for all of them. I felt a growing sense of pride and confidence as I was able to destroy each vardoger and I began to learn the exact amount of energy I needed to channel to destroy them. My control over my powers became more honed and instead of fearing the encounters, I started to look forward to them.

Ryan was always beside me, guiding me in these moments but Simon was always there too. I felt a sense of safety with them around and I began to truly believe that I could fulfill my calling as a seer.

I couldn’t help wondering what my father was waiting for, why he wasn’t coming for me, but I decided to not question the gift of time I had been given and resolved to get as strong as I could.

I told Grant and Sarah minimal details about everything I was doing, not wanting to get them too involved, but it was still a burden to keep it a secret from Jenny and Marcus. I was relieved when winter break rolled around and everyone went home. Simon and I had decided to stay in Rochester despite his family being disappointed that we wouldn’t be coming to Connecticut for Christmas. Simon gave the excuse of taking a music seminar that Maxwell was offering over the break and fortunately his parents bought the excuse.

Ryan stayed with us as well, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he had anyone to call to make excuses to. It made me sad to think that he didn’t and I was reminded how alike we were in so many ways. I had no family to make excuses to either.

Christmas was interesting, to say the least. I decided to put on the works and make a full dinner on Christmas Eve even though it was just the three of us. It made me feel a little more normal and both Simon and Ryan seemed to appreciate the gesture. An uneasy truce had settled between them and they were able to put aside their differences to sit down to a civil dinner.
