"Well, what is going on?" An angry voice from near by woke me. I opened my eyes to see a woman talking with Caleb. Well, it was more she was trying to calm him and he just kept yelling at her.
"Caleb!" I scolded him, they both looked over, relieved. The woman took the opportunity to slip out the door. Caleb came over to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
But I ignored his question and asked one of my own. "Why were you yelling at her?"
"You're fine." He sighed. "I was trying to find out what happened, but she wasn't telling..."
"You idiot!" I cut him off, much to his surprise.
"What?"
"Next time just wait until I'm better, I know what happened and it would really surprise me if they discovered it. It's a completely normal thing, happens all the time. Though, for me to actually pass out is a little less comon." He nodded and I sat up, moving back so he could sit on the other end of the bed. Have you figured out how I can get to my library? "How long was I out?"
Can't you just create a portal? "Uh, you were out for two whole days."
"Really!?" Not now, I'll explain later.
"Yeah." Oh, okay.
"So, when can we get out of here?"
He paused and gave me a funny look. "Vi...you've been unconcious for the last two days! Do you really think they're going to just let you up and go ten minutes after you wake up?"
"They would at home." I muttered to myself stubbornly.
"Well, here they don't fully understand what your two healing abilities do."
"Can't they assume that they do what it says and heals? then they could let me out!"
"No, probably not. King Mathew wouldn't allow it. He cares about you, you know."
"What?"
"He cares about you, it's easy to see when you know what he is usually like. He treats you like he treated me when I was little, before I knew my siblings were adopted, he treated me differently and I never knew why. Now I know that it was because I was his only true son. He se's you as the true daughter he never had but always wanted."
We both fell silent as I thought aboutit. That's gonna make it difficult.
Make what difficult?
Okay, so what I told you about what happened, yea, that was only part of the truth. It does happen all the time, someimes it's stronger than others. But it happens when my powers vanish. I'm new to having them, so I'm still adjusting to them, and they're adjusting to me.
So they just vanish at times?
Yeah, at home it doesn't happen as severely as at school, I don't know why. I paused as a realization went through me and my eyes widened. "It's you." I said too quietly for anyone to hear.
"What?" He asked, leaning forward a bit.
"It's you!" Then, when I realized that my voice sounded as week as I felt, I added a few layers of strength. "It is stronger when I'm around you or somewhere you hang around a lot. At my home I don't notice it 'till I try to use my powers, but at your home it's severely crippling and you were with me the entire time." Something flashsed in his eyes that made me automatically say, "What are you hiding?"
