Wren blinked her eyes open and stared at Harlowâs back. She watched as the other girlâs breathing made her back move ever so slightly. She wasnât sure how long theyâd been asleep, but Wrenâs had felt troubled, despite the twinge of happiness she felt from the warmth of Harlowâs presence.
Wren constantly worried that if her powers had indeed leaked over into the real world, then maybe if she had a bad dream she would like, stun everyone in a fifty feet radius or something. Knowing her luckâ¦it would be even worse. Sighing, she pushed herself slowly up into a sitting position and pulled a pillow to nestle at Harlowâs back so she wouldnât wake up.
At least this way one of them would finish getting a decent nightâs sleep.
Wren padded down the stairs and into the empty kitchen, pulling out some coffee to pop through the machine. And cream. She desperately needed cream right now. Glancing down at her hands, she could have sworn her veins were an electric type of blueish purple, much like Murmurâs runes that lay under her skin. But that wasnât possible, was it? Her mind was getting all sorts of messed up.
She shook her head and pulled the door open, grabbing out her cream. Tiredness still lingered in her bones and at the back of her mind. Even though she wished she could sleep, though, she didnât dare. What if she was dangerous out here? What if she could do what sheâd almost done to her friends in the gameâ¦what if she could inflict pain like that on anyone?
No, out here she had to be even more careful. These werenât just gaming husks. Everything around her was filled with real people. She owed them all a duty of care, all of them. Including herself.
Wren paused when she realized her hands were shaking, and thatâs where her mom found her. Standing in front of the coffee machine trying desperately not to have the breakdown she could feel just around the corner. From her overachieving study fanatic self in high school, to this. Sheâd never imagined it. Would never have realized how far she could fall.
She had to get it together, because she wasnât alone anymore. Her mother was about to come into the condo, and Wren knew that because she could sense her, through her damned abilities.
There was no controlling this. No control over this. But she had to. If it had really leaked into her body, and through her mind, she needed control now more than ever.
âWrenny?â Lariaâs tone was soft, like she was scared to hug her daughter because she might just break if she did so. Her mother had never dealt well with any form of fragility. She was too exuberant for that.
âMom. Iâ¦â Wren gulped down a sob she hadnât realized was brewing. âI think I can use my abilities here.â
She ended up whispering the last bit of what she said, hoping that maybe if she didnât speak it out loud then it wouldnât be true.
