Chapter Six

She had dismissed Keezik after her disclosure and closed the door behind him. Amly paced, wondering if she should have told him everything.

Her first transformation had been a trauma for her. She had been on a school trip to the capitol and she had wandered down the wrong hall. Someone had called out to her and she had taken his hand. His talent for empathy was her first copy. She sent him her confusion, and the man had smiled and led her back to her group saying, “I expect she will be getting a job here one day.”

It had been in that golden time when the physical talents were still allowed to live low-profile but useful lives in the provinces. The locking up had begun a few years later.

Her teacher had looked down at her and smiled, “Are you a psychic, Amly?”

She had shaken her head and sniffled. “I thought he would understand me if I was more like him.”

Her teacher, Mrs. Wekford, had gone quiet, and later that day, when they were getting ready to go home, the teacher took her aside.

“Amly, you have to know this now and remember. No one can know that you can copy talents. It is very important. Not even your family. It will be dangerous for you and them. You can still do it, but don’t tell anyone. Okay?”

With tears in her eyes, Amly had nodded. Her teacher had hugged her.

“You are not in trouble, and I don’t want you to be. Just be yourself and keep alert. Your instincts can keep you safe if you let them.” Mrs. Wekford smiled and ruffled her hair.

Amly had always remembered that moment, and she had lived by it, until today.

Today everything had changed.

She yawned and took a quick solar shower before she crawled into bed. If sleep were willing, she would embrace it.
