We stare at each other for a minute until I am distracted by Megan giggling. I turn to her, a question on my face and she shrugs. “Ry you’re on total lockdown. Watching you argue with him is kind of hilarious. Mostly because no one else does so he has no idea how to deal with it.” She laughs again and Bellamy turns on her. “I wouldn’t laugh too soon, Megan Kane. You’re also going on lockdown. We don’t know who is going after Ry or why which means we can’t rule out the possibility that they want you too. You’ve been a harder target to access so it’s no surprise if we haven’t noticed before now. You’ll need to do your lectures online and discuss online options for any classes you need to do in person. Worst case you can repeat a few subjects if needed.” Megan begins to object but unlike me, Bellamy can silence her with a glare. She holds his gaze and resists for a full minute before dropping her eyes to the floor and sighing. “Yes, fine. I’ll see what I can do.” She gru

Logan looks contemplative as he thinks it through.“Would Darrien be there?” He demands. I shrug.“Sure, we could invite him too.” I agree.“What about Aaron and Bellamy?” He continues. Megan decides to step in. “We can invite anyone you want Logan. We could have a big dinner party and you could explore the whole Shifter compound if you want.” She tells him. His eyes open wide.“Really!?” He says excitedly. Megan nods.“Of course, Ryann is really important to us, you know, so all her good friends are important to us too.” She tells him. He bounces excitedly in place. “Oh, wait, I just remembered something!” he blurts out. He yanks his hands from mine and kneels on the floor by his backpack. He spends a minute digging through it before dumping the contents out on the floor in frustration. After a minute of frantic searching where several pens, a half-eaten sandwich and what I’m pretty sure is a bouncy ball scatter over the floor, he jumps to his feet, wa

I watch as the girl struggles, her wrists are restrained with a zip tie and there’s silver tape over her mouth. There are tears running down her face and I can see strands of hair stuck in the tape that are definitely going to hurt when it’s removed. I just don’t understand. Why am I dreaming about this girl, and what’s the point if I can’t see anything useful? Is it even real? I know I dreamed of her once before I heard about the kidnapping, but isn’t it possible it was just a bad dream that's stuck in my head now? I almost hope it is because the look of fear in this girl’s eyes is dreadful. Something catches her attention. I wish I could see or hear anything but all I can do is watch her silent figure. She shrinks back for a second then I see her steel herself. She sits up as best as she can with her wrists tied and glares defiantly at whoever she is interacting with. I see her shake her head. A moment later she tumbles backwards and clutches her hands to her cheek. Did someone ju

Megan turns to face me, a look of amusement on her face.“He is really really thinking through all this, isn’t he?” She asks. I nod.“Yeah, it’s almost impressive. It’s scary… but at the same time, I totally get it. Also we REALLY need to meet this girl.“You just want to see if she’s his soul mate.” Megan accuses. I shrug. “What’s the point in being able to see spoilers if I don’t get to know about the people I’m actually invested in?” I point out. “True, that’s fair. Will you tell him though?” She asks. “I’ll tell him the same thing I told you. Basically that it’s better he doesn’t ask unless he already knows the answer.”“Well, at least you’re consistent.” Megan admits. “Would you tell me?” She tries again. I look her over, unsure.“Will you be able to keep it to yourself? No matter how dumb his decisions are?” I demand. Megan immediately nods, then pauses and seems to rethink her decision. “Uh… I’m not sure. I knew about you and Bella

I run to the door and swing it open just in time for Shaun to nearly hit me in the face, his fist raised to knock. He stumbles backwards and lowers his arm. Amber is standing beside him looking amused. Her unnaturally red hair is a little windblown and the ends just brush her shoulders. She’s thin and with her bright blue eyes she looks a lot like a little porcelain doll. Eyes are another common misconception that people have about Oracles. Just because one or two of them were blind and became famous for getting by using their ‘other sight’ forever ago, now people seem to assume that they’re all blind. I remember Amber lecturing someone about it once when they insisted that she couldn’t be an Oracle because her eyes were functional. She then continued to tell me later that just because some fanatics think that they have to blind themselves to ‘unlock their potential’ that doesn’t mean she wants to destroy one of her senses. “Sorry Miss Gale!” He says, looking horrified.
