Couple days later, own nothing!
We had gotten off work early because I'd had a 'feeling'& walked in the door when we saw Mark, lying face up, bleeding to death, with a bullet wound to the forehead. Z was standing over his body with a gun, smiling triumphantly.
"What the-!" Lynn started.
"Fuck!" I finished for her. I held up my hand for a high-five, temporarily in hyper-mood. "Twin intuition! I was right!"
"Oh, hello!" said Zealot, holding the gun like it was candy wand & he was the magical fairy granting wishes.
"It seems as thought we've walked in on a personal moment, twin. Wouldn't you agree?" Lynn said, covering her head & ducking as the gun swung her direction & back again.
"Haahaahaa! Well I was only doing what he told me, too!"
"Who's he?" I asked
"The voice! Now I have to leave 'cuz he told me to! Bye!" just as he was about to walk out the door, Merric came in, not noticing the dead Mark on the floor. "Oh and Merric you're next!"
He dashed out of the room laughing hysterically! Merric started freaking out, chasing him & yelling, "What do you mean, 'I'm next!'? What did you do? Come back!"
Lynn glanced at the chaos and muttered several times under her breath, "When life gives you lemons, squeeze the lemons in life's face, and tell life to fuck off!"
"Lynn where did you get that language?" Yarek admonished as he glared at her and raised one of his 'Elrond' eyebrows.
"With your mom in bed last night," she retorted and smirked when he scowled at her even more.
"What the hell? I don't have a mom! And I'm not an Elf with awesome eyebrows!" He yelled.
"I didn't want to tell you, but I went to heaven and SCREWED HER! AND STOP READING MY MIND ASSHOLE!"
"That only works for boys! And I'M NOT AN ASSHOLE!"
"I don't care, you evil, retarded, bastard!"
"Why are you yelling at me! I'm the one who has the right to yell at you!"
"Like I said, I don't care!" Lynn screeched.
That's when Merric decided to come back & join the conversation. "Calm down, Lynn! It's me you should be worrying about! Zealot said 'I'm next!'. What the hell is that suppose to mean?"
"Just SHUT UP YOU HORNY DOG! I'm sick of seeing yours and Raven's dreams about each other! It's horrible! I can't control that power with a bunch of you SEX obsessed retards running around! I usually have shields up, but your dreams are so intense, it breaks it down! I don't sleep! I close my eyes for two seconds and WAKE UP SCREAMING! This isn't fair!" Lynn turned toward me. "I'm sorry, I love you like my sister, but I just can't handle this! I'm moving to a new apartment!" That's when Lynn rushed into our room and slammed the door.
"So who wants to go make her feel better?" asked Merric who was looking sheepishly at me.
"Hey don't look at me, she's mad at both of us. & when Lynn goes bonkers, I tend to stay clear of the damage area." I reminded him.
"I'll go." stated Yarek. "I'm the only one that she's not mad at. Lynn's probably freaking out because she can't control her powers."
"What can you do, that I can't?" I asked. You know cuz he's human and I'm her twin.
"I read MINDS! Remember?" he said.
"Oh!" Merric and I chorused in unison.
"Now go clean up the forgotten body of the dead Mark! Then pack up peoples stuff. Can't stay here anymore."
(Lynn's P.O.V.)
I slammed the door behind me, tears silently running down my face. Usually I wasn't so emotional, but with the dreams, me not having control of my powers, and the fact that I can't talk to my twin about my problems, her being the cause of them, I was a little distraught! I was oddly calm as well, which I knew wouldn't last long. My sanity seemed to go off on random vacations to crazy land.
Abruptly there was a knock on my door. "Rosa-Lynn, may I please come in?" Yarek's muffled voice barely came through the door. Well, I DIDN'T want let him in, but I didn't want to be a bitch either.
"Will you let me in anyway?" He asked. No, I thought. I don't want to look at anyone with powers of any kind, ever again. Except maybe Raven.
Out loud I said. "Sure." Yarek walked through the door taking in my half filled bags and tear stained eyes with one sweep of his eyes.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Fine." I smiled, hoping that with this attitude he would believe me and leave.
"You know lying doesn't work with a telepath. I know your feeling upset at the moment."
Psh! Upset is an understatement. And you're supposed to be a TELEPATH, not an empath. I thought at him.
I COULD be an empath if I wanted to and you know it. He sent back.
So...what did you want to lecture me, er, tell me about. I was really getting frustrated with Yarek's annoying habit of having more powers than anyone knew about, 'cept maybe Raven.
"I could hear that, too." he smirked. I glared at him. "Well anyway, I came in to-"
"PISS OFF!"
"What exactly is that suppose to mean?" Yarek yelled.
"It means 'get the hell out of my room'! You're a cow and your stinking it up!"
"Real mature Lynn, but as you can see I am not a cow and do not smell like such filth!"
"I'm sorry, I meant dinosaur."
"Is that an old, fat guy joke?"
"Good guess, genius! Why don't you go get your college degree now."
"I don't need college! And sarcasm is-"
"The lowest form of humor and it's the only one that makes me laugh! Remember?"
"Yes, unfortunately." he sighed, loudly. "Alright. You want the dreams to go away? I can't get the ingredients till tomorow, but I can block off your power for awhile. Until then, I'll give you some tea with a spell sleep in it, to put you in a deep sleep. That should ward off the dreams as well. Can you hold till then?"
I nodded and watch him back towards the door. When he was gone, I just sat there, calming down. I made no move to unpack. Even if I wasn't moving from the group as I had said, nobody could stay here after Mark's death.
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. "Hey, Ray. It's me." Raven said, calling me by my old nickname. Ray was short for Rainy-Day. I hated the nickname, but it brought back memories, making me laugh.
"It's okay. I'm not upset anymore. Well...as much, anyway." I said with a shaky laugh. She came in and sat on the bed next to me.
"I'm sorry. I really am. I just...well, you know I've never liked a guy before. These dreams I keep having, each one is always the same concept! Merric & I, skin to skin contact, zap! Like the soulmate principle. I can't help but think these dreams are telling me something!" her eyes were wide with excitement.
"Well, it's quite possible. Neither of you have had skin to skin contact yet. Maybe you should try it, ask him out. If he's not your soulmate, you could still have fun with it, and it would get rid of my problem, at the very least!"
"What? But I can't ask him out! I'm to shy! And what if he turns me down? What if he laughs at me? What if-" I cut her off.
"Stop with the what if's! You'll never be happy living with the wonder of what could have been! If you don't do it, I will for you!" I was yelling, but not with anger.
"MERRIC!" I yelled cheerfully.
"No! Don't do that! He'll come in here!" she was trying, and failing, to put her hands over my mouth.
"That's the point, Rave!" I said, laughing. "HEY, MERRIC! RAVEN WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" I continued to yell. Merric finally came in looking very annoyed.
"You needed something?" he asked, patiently leaning against the wall. Raven was now glaring at me so intensely, you would think I would be on fire.
"Yes, I do! I need you to kiss Raven for me, for...experimental reasons." I said, grinning evilly. Shock quickly replaced his annoyance.
"You...want me to...kiss...Raven?" he seemed slightly confused.
"Yes. That is what I said. Kiss. Raven. See? I'll leave you two in private then." I said, slipping towards the door.
"But if all he's going to do is kiss me, why are you leaving?" Raven did not look to happy about this idea.
"Sorry, this is for your own good. If what we talked about earlier is true, there's going to be more than kissing going on! I don't think I want to watch that." I slipped out the door and closed it.
