~Gabriel Gray~

I was on my way to see Chandra Suresh. My steps were quick. My breathing was shallow. 'Finally,' I thought to myself. 'A chance to be something.' I Always wanted to be special. Wanted someone to come and tell me that my family wasn't really my family. Don't misinterpreted what I'm saying. I'm greatful for my life and parents but I've always felt like the black sheep.

I looked down at the paper I was holding with the address and apartment number on it. I couldn't help but to smile. I was so close to this. To being special. I pace quickened again as a took two steps at a time.

I walked up the last couple steps and looked around for a second looking for the right apartment number. Walking a short ways I found the number and knocked on the door. I was greeted by Chandra's warm smile.

"Hello, Gabriel." His older face was comforting in a way. I smiled back.

"Chandra, nice to see you." He movEd to the side and put an arm out as if presenting his home to me.

"Please come in!" I nodded politely and stepped in. I took a quick look around taking everything in. It smelled like incense and otherworldly wisdom. If that could have a scent.

"Thank you." He led me farther into his home.

I stepped inside another room and looked around. I noticed a women sitting on one side of the table and a bunch of paper work set up on the other side. The room smelled like it was unkept but still had a glow to it.

"I hope you don't mind Gabriel but Miss Gravin showed up a couple minutes ago and I'm just going to wrap up real quick. Please feel free to watch." She didn't bother to turn towards me. I had a lot of questions to ask but I pulled up a chair and sat. Her brown hair and green eyes, straight teeth and a pretty face. I can't lie, I was very curious as to what her ability was. I looked over at Chandra and saw a look of expectation on his face. Was she shy?

"Can I have a glass or something you don't mind being broken?" Her voice rasped but sang at the same time.

"Sure." He quickly scurried out and surged back into the room. He put a glass on the table. It was nothing special just a random glass. She took a deep breath and focused on the glass. Nothing seemed to happen for a few seconds. She closed her eyes then slowly yet smoothly uttered.

"Break."

The glass then shattered into small little pieces. 'So there are others.' My questions flared up again but I quieted them as much as I could.

'I would die to know how she found out about her ability.' This voice was darker, other voice talking in mind was strange. I could never tell if it was talkingto me, at me...with me? I'm not sure anymore.

"Sorry."She said quietly. Her voice suddenly smooth.

"No, It's quite alright!" His face held astonishment and wrote a few things down and she detached the last few wires from her forehead. He grabbed the brain scan chart and looked it over. He had a look of even more amazement on his face. He got up and walked across the other side of the table towards her.

"Thank you very much Miss Gravin for coming by, You have no idea how much this helps my research."He smiled as she stood up returning his gesture.

"Please Chandra, call me Caroline."They shook hands and she looked over at me with a look that could cripple.

"Who's your friend?"She asked smoothly, I suddenly felt very uneasy under her gaze.

"Oh, How rude of me! Caroline this is Gabriel!"I stood up with a smile and offered my hand. She took it and shook it. Her hands were so soft, and inviting. That voice inside me still startled me from time to time.

'What I would do to have her back at our place...'

"Pleasure."She said with a smirk growing on her face. I felt a slight bit...aroused. She let got of my hand and I suddenly missed that small contact.

"Nice to meet you too." I shuffled awkwardly not sure how to handle what just happened.I took my seat again. She got a look in her eyes like she was suddenly a different person. I was even more intrigued.

"He's a cutie! Where'd you find him?"I blushed lightly at the compliment. Then I noticed she blushed as well and she looked sweet and innocent again. We didn't get a responce from Chandra. She turned to me with her innocent eyes.

"I must be going. Nice meeting you Gabriel." She put her small purse and walked out of the room. i heard Chandra and her exchange a few words and 'thank you's then she was gone.

Chandra came back into the room and took his previous spot as I moved to Caroline's.

"She seems nice."

"She's a sweet women, But this other person takes over her. Its almost like an alter ego or just the beginning of multiple personality disorder."

I couldn't help but to think that maybe that's what is happening to me. 'Is this how everyone with a power is?' I thought but tossed it aside with Could i be going crazy? Sounds about right.

"Right. Shall we begin?"I suggested. Wanting to get away from the topic before my mind thought of another reason as to why there are two voices in my mind.

"Ah, yes we shall."He attached a few wires to my forehead and ran a few tests. It had now been close to twenty five minutes. He sighed heavily. I tilted my head slightly and lightly squinted my eyes.

"Well, the good news is that your health."My eyebrows furrowed a little. 'What does that mean?' I knew I was special.

"I am so close to this I can feel it."

~Caroline Gravin~

I walked out of Suresh's apartment and went to check the time. I looked down to a broken watch. I sighed out loud. 'I really need to get that thing fixed.' i half considered stopping by a watch shop then deicided against it, for the time being I should head home.

The next day I woke up to the dead silent. Got dressed. Made breakfast. Bleh. I looked at my electric clock on my microwave that read 10: 48AM. I really didnt wanna sit inside all day. I went off the FINALLY get my watch fixed. At least it would get me out of the house.

The city seemed pretty dead today, so I thought a walk would do me well.

I walked into a small shop and the bell on the door rang. I looked around and didn't see anyone. It was pretty quiet.

"Hello?" I called out.

I didn't get a answer. I looked around and heard a faint noise. I turned a corner and saw Gabriel in a noose. I gasped and pulled out my pocket knife and stood on the chair and cut the rope. He fell to the ground. Lifeless…

I felt awkward.

I put my ear to his chest and it was a faint beat.

"Heal."

I listened for the beat to speed up. Come more to life. I pulled my body away from his and watched him. He began to cough and sat up. He had a dark look in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

He threw me against the wall without even touching me. I felt a sharp pain on my head and it got worse fast. I focused on his finger, to his hand to his arm. I tried my hardest not to freak out.

"SNAP!"

I screamed and his arm snapped and he yelled out. The injury only stoped him for a second then picked himself up and slightly laughed.

"Caroline…Nice to see you." Who was this man? This wasn't Gabreil.I fell to the floor and healed myself. I just didn't understand this man,

Then something changed in him again and he ran toward me. His dark brown eyeyet then n turned to a milk chocolate color. He rushed over to me.

"Caroline! Are you ok? I'm so sorry."

I just stared.
