SAVANTS

The Chapture 25

Zed showed up two days later. Victor escorts him and Yves to school in an offroad car with a dark window. I just saw them rushing into the school because I happened to run behind me too.

Seeing them running from the car to the front door, I thought the Benedict family seemed bullied but otherwise was fine.

'Zed' I called him over telepathically.

He heard me call him and looked around, but Yves grabbed his one hand and Victor the other, making him alert.

'I'll see you later' ' he replied.

But I want him now. I had to swallow my disappointment and went to explain to Mr. Joe why I was late for the second hour in a row.

I hid in the library during my break. Outside the snow fell and we were all inside, scattered all over the school, seeking shelter. I have chosen the library section for reference, hoping to attract fewer gazes there.

I still sometimes see a colorful aura. Ever since my glimpse of Zed that morning, I had a bad feeling that maybe my feelings for him jumped far in front of his feelings for me.

I was confused about a small matter that threatened her life and she didn't even think to call me to tell me that she was okay.

Even the telepathic messages I sent him were not answered. Maybe about soul mates it's just sheer nonsense to get some kisses.

But Zed found me in my hiding place. Maybe he's seen me here before I even arrived. He sat across and just looked at me.

'Sky, I'm sorry, ' he said by telepathy.

Hey, another benefit of this thought-provoking — is not only you have low phone bills but you are not expelled from the library.

'You're mad at me?' said.

'No.' answered me.

'So why does it look cold?'

I glanced. He didn't take his eyes off me. Geez, she looks bad—I want to immerse my face in her shoulder and just hold hands.

'Your eyes are still sick?'

'No, your brother healed him, he just made me look like a fool.'

'I can't send you a message because there's no network reception at home. sorry'

'No, no, don't apologize. I understand.'

'you sure? Do you really understand how hard it is for me? I want to be with you—stay with you that day. You argued with your father, right?'

'Yes, but we're fine now.'

'You're angry because I wasn't there to protect you about the bruised eyes you got. People have given you a hard time.'

'It's not hard, it's just awkward. Nelson's after you.'

'I deserve it.'

'You saved my life.'

'you should never have been in danger in the first place. I should never have put you at risk. Look, can we go somewhere so we can talk well?'

'I don't know if that's a good idea.'

He pulled the book out of my hands.

Then slip the book back onto the shelf. 'Come with me.'

'Where?'

'Music training room. I ordered one, just in case.'

Zed grabbed my hand and took me out of the library, staring at Sheena and her gang who were grinning at us.

One look from Zed and they quickly find another place to set their sights on. When we got to the music room, he first checked it out, empty. Then pull me inside and close the door.

"It's better."He pulled me into his arms and I leaned on him. "Let me hold you for a moment. I haven't had a chance to touch you since the killers were after us."

I let her hug me, feeling completely overwhelmed by her gentleness. There was a sense of despair in his arms, maybe we both knew that we were lucky to still be able to breathe, let alone hug each other.

"Sky, I can't stand it if something happens to you" she whispered, her hand playing on the hair I had removed on my face to hide the bruises.

"Why? Is something going to happen? Did you see anything?''

''So you consider me someone else? ''

''Sky, please, I don't know. Don't you think I'd act if I knew what would help? All I know is I want you safe.''

That's very frustrating. These half-way hints and warnings drive me crazy. Being a savant must be really exhausting.

"Yes, it is."

"You did it again, read my mind! Stop the. That's mine—personal." I folded my hands on my chest and moved away from him.

''It seems like I should always apologize to you, but I'm really sorry. I can read your mind more clearly than anyone else—ini like you sent it into my head"

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" My voice has a hysterical tone.

"No, that's an explanation. You can learn to make shields, you know."

"What?"

"Training for a basic savant, you'll soon learn to make a shield"

"But I'm not a savant"

"You are a savant. And I believe deep down you know it too."

I clenched my hands in my hair. "Stop. I don't want to hear this." You bad. Ill-favored. Always make everyone unhappy . "No, not me!" I didn't talk to Zed anymore, but a whisper in my head that was like a creepy music

"Sky" Zed held my hand, pulled it away from my temple and pulled me towards her. Her hand caressed my hair gently. Let it fall back on my shoulder. "You're beautiful. The furthest thing from a bad word I've ever known"

"What do you see—what do you know about where I come from?" I asked in a small voice. "You've known things about me that even I don't know myself."

I can hear ******* rumbling in his chest. "Nothing is clear. Telling the past is more of Uriel's power than mine."

I laughed wryly. "Don't get me wrong, but I hope I don't see him."

I was swaying in his arms at this moment. It was like dancing without music, falling into the same rhythm.

"You want to know why I didn't tell you?"

I'm nodding.

"I can't. We're in the lock. I have bad news again."

"What's? Worse than a maniac coming out to kill your family? I need to know that you're okay."

"Victor put us on code red. That means we can't communicate outside the immediate family and we need to stay alert and alert."

Inevitably I wondered where he put me in his order of priority. He claims I'm his soul mate.

"We don't know who might be listening to our calls. I should have found a way to get a message to you, but I'm afraid to use telepathy."

"Why?"

"That's bad news. We think they have experts on the hit squad. They shouldn't be able to get so close to us. The power of the father is to feel danger. Dad should know they're out there unless they're protected by a powerful savant. You can listen to telepathy as you can hear a speech if you have a very strong power. I don't want anything I do to tell them about you"

"So it's not just your family that can telepathize?"

"No, all Savants can do telepathy and there are some of us we know—and I think there's a lot we don't know. You can turn power into evil as easily as choosing to use it for good. Temptation must be in the head, especially for those who have lost a soul mate." He rubbed his chin at the top of my head.

"You're my equalizer, Sky. I may have slipped deep into delinquency and turned evil before I met you. I can't describe it in words what it means for you to me. You mean so much to me and you saved me from a gray existence" he continued.

"You naughty?"

"Yes, that time. I'm not a good man without you. It's tempting to use my power to get what I want, no matter how unfair or how much of a loss it is to others." He grimaced, uncomfortable with what he revealed about himself.

"You've given me enough hope now to hold on until you're ready to unlock your power. Once that's done, there's no chance I'll go back the way I used to."

"But you're not safe?"I didn't realize I had saved her. If something goes wrong and she loses her balance, it's my fault, for not being brave enough to check what's inside of me? "What should I do?"

He shook his head. "none. You just need time. I'm more worried about how to get this right from you" Godanya while holding my lips.

"But I'm worried about you."

"Thank you, but let's give you the space you need and handle what we have to do so we can keep you safe."

Smart killer—may this really be real? The bullet is quite original—I have no doubt about it. "You think the guy who shot at us has turned nasty?"
