Chapter Fifteen

Morgan considered carefully who to tell about her dream. Despite her previous feelings that it was fair for her to keep things from the Watchers, her first thought was to tell Wen or Mr. K or Miss Scotford. She even had her phone in her hand, Wen’s number pulled up, before she decided against it. She realized there was a strong probability that, instead of being impressed by Morgan’s growth in abilities, the three of them would be angry and reprimand her for being reckless. Even though she hadn’t necessarily willfully disobeyed them—after all, she hadn’t Seen Chelsea while she was awake—she didn’t think they would appreciate that she couldn’t control her dreams. In fact, as reluctant as she was to admit it to herself, if she had been keeping up the wall like Kellen had told her, she would never have had the vision to begin with.

No, what she needed was the help of her Naturals. In this moment, that was actually how she referred to them in her mind. Though it seemed a little awkward, she reasoned that was what they were, according to the Prophecy, anyway. They were supposed to help her—to make her stronger.

She considered her options. There was Lia, who had extended the hand of friendship to Morgan. But Lia was also a teacher’s pet by nature, and Morgan wasn’t positive she could trust her to not tell the Watchers. That left the decision between Corbin and Lucas.

After the Senior Math test, she almost told Lucas. To kill time before the end of the hour, they were passing a note to each other. He had just passed the picture back. He had added a Tyrannosaurus to a hilltop. He was looking so expectant when he handed the paper to her, for a moment, she was sure he was waiting for her to tell him about the dream. But then she felt it—subtle, but there: She Felt Lucas’s mirth at the thought of what he’d draw next. For a moment, she was taken aback; it was so seldom she Felt anything from Lucas, so good was he at keeping a wall up around his mind. Then she turned her attention to the drawing. Besides, based on their conversation yesterday, he would probably just insist she tell the Watchers, and then it would come out that she still hadn’t told them about the attack.

A note came to Morgan and Lia during sixth hour JY. Morgan was surprised to learn that Mr. K and Miss Scotford had set up a training session for that afternoon. Wednesday had gone so well, she supposed she just imagined that would mean they’d be given a break as a reward.

“Nah,” Lucas said when Morgan voiced this idea on the way to the training house. “I bet they wanna strike while the iron’s hot, you know? Now that we’re all feeling so empowered about our success yesterday, they want us to keep the momentum going.”

Today’s training house was a nondescript brick one-story. As Lucas pulled into the driveway, Morgan took a breath and released it slowly.
