I ran up to my room after what I saw. I don't know why I choose to go up there, but I just did. It's like my feet has a mind of its own. Or I choose to go up there for a reason, but suddenly forgot why. Then I look at the bed Logan and I pushed together a few weeks after we started dating. Then I remember my little vision of Kendall. Was that Kendall? Or is that someone else? And what I saw at the pool, was it really him who for a minute ago walk out the door and end up at the pool kissing Jo? No, I bet that's just Jett. But it can't be. The hair is a bit lighter. Jett is a bit darker. Hm... where did I make that comparisons from? oh yeah, the vision. I thought it was James, but I'm still can't tell.
Suddenly, the door bust open. I swift around and see Logan running in and panting. He slam the door shut with a loud bang, making me jump. I gotta tell him what I saw.
"Carlos!" He exclaim.
"Logan!' I shout
"You cannot believe what I just saw!" We say together.
"I just saw Kendall in bed with another guy!" I shout as at the same time he shout something else.
We give each other confuse looks. "What?" We say together. Then I repeat myself while he repeats his totally different sentence. Now this is annoying. "Stop that!"
"Okay, you first." I insist.
"I just saw Kendall kissing Jo at the pool." He says. So I wasn't mistaking.
I knew it! Kendall is a cheater!
"But I wasn't really paying attention." He proceeds. " I was just finishing helping Katie with a homework assignment in the park. Then I came back to the pool to find Kendall kissing Jo."
I thought so.
"Now, what were you about to say?"
"I finally got a power!" I grin happily.
Logan raise a skeptical eyebrow. "Uh huh. Anything else."
"It's true! A few minutes ago, Kendall came back from the pool to retrieve a towel then I touch his arm and then I have a vision!"
"A vision? Really? Carlos, you're not a seer."
"Yes I am!" Whatever that is. "Logan, stop denying it. You're just jealous. Kendall has a power and you believes him when he told us once."
"That's because he had evidence that he revealed unknowingly when we're around."
"What are you saying?" I ask.
" He saw a double rainbow no one else can see, even from different angles. He said we were glowing in the morning when he woke up. There's an aura chart in his room that is still hanging. He keeps telling James what colors he was or what color we were. And his disappearance to some kind of magic door. That's evidence."
"Fine." I say. "How can I give you evidence so you could believe me."
He chuckles. "Oh Carlos. I love you and you know that I will always believe you."
"Then how come you don't believe me now?" I ask upsettingly.
Logan sighs. "Okay, I don't want to bicker with you. Just... touch me and tell me what you see and if it comes true later, I'll believe you."
"Promise?" I ask.
"Promise." He better.
I smile as he extend his arms out and I enter into his embrace. He locks me in his embrace and my eyes widen as another vision kicks in.
I look down at the wooden floor of the kitchen and back at the wall clock. The floor shakes hard. I glance at the dinner table and found Kendall and James looking around cautiously. Stuff falling off of shelves. I hear plates and glass shattering.
"Duck!" I scream terrifyingly. They slide off the chair and hide under the table. I look around and found Mrs. Knight hiding behind the couch and Katie under the table behind the couch.
I panic, look around for Logan. Where is he? He's not in the apartment. Then I take one look at the front door and instantly know that he's lost somewhere outside of the Palmwoods.
I let out a loud groan as I felt a big headache coming on. Logan lets go of me and I clutch my head, putting it down on my hands.
"Carlos!" Logan shouts. "What's going on? What's happening?"
"I don't know." I groan then the pain in my head died down. I sigh in relief, "Phew, I'm good." I smile up at him.
"What was that?"
"I just had another vision and this mysteriously gives me a headache. When I touched Kendall, the headache didn't happen."
"What did you see?"
"We were in the apartment downstairs and the floor starts shaking and things start falling. Kendall, James, Katie, and Mrs. Knight duck in cover under tables and couch."
"Where were you?" He ask.
"I was standing in the kitchen. Maybe paralyzed in fear." I say. My voice softens as I know what he'll ask next.
"Where was I?"
I look down at the floor, not wanting him to know. But I should if I want him to believe me. But I couldn't. I'm afraid that it will come true. What if it does? Then my Logie will be... oh God! It can't happen! It can't! I start to whimper.
"Oh, Carlos." Logan says softly and wrap his arms around me. "It's okay."
"You were gone." I cry.
"Don't worry. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay right by you're side."
Yep. He believes me.
"Hey Carlos!" I hear James burst through the door. "I've got- Oh, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting anything?"
"No, nothing at all." I say as Logan slowly unwrap his arms, letting me out. I let out a little sniffle. I have got to try to get that vision out of my head. And since he's here, I don't think I should tell him what Logan and I just saw what Kendall did. I give him a smile, saying that everything's okay.
"Okay then, anyway, as I was saying, I got something to show you something!" James says excitingly. "Did you get your powers yet?"
"Yeah!" I smile. Then I turn to Logan. "I told you I have a power." Not like he didn't just believe me a few seconds ago.
"I knew it! That means you're able to see it!" James says.
"See what?" I ask him.
"Whoa, wait!" Logan say. We turn to him. "Kendall has a power. Carlos just got his power. Then how about you, James. What can you do?"
"I can't do anything." James says making a straight face. I know he's lying. I just know it. He has something.
"How about me? What can I do?"
"You have your powers after me." I say. "Not sure what you can do though."
"I know." James says, putting his head down. Then start to mumble something.
"What's that?" Logan and I ask.
"Nothing." James shoot his head up and grin again. "Anyway, Carlos, let's go!" Wow, he must be very excited about what he's about to show me. He loo at Logan. "Hey, can I take your boyfriend off your hands?"
"Sure." He says. "You guys go do whatever. I'm going back down to the pool and hang out with your... um, 'boyfriend'." He says air quoting the last word. Then walk pass James out the door.
"Why did he just air-quoted 'boyfriend.'" James ask.
Because your boyfriend is not your boyfriend anymore. He's a cheater. I say in my head. Then I say out loud, " I have no idea."
"Uh... okay..." He says awkwardly and uncomfortably. "Anyways let's go downstairs."
"Okay." And I run downstairs taking the swirly slide. I get off and James slide after me. "So where is it?" I ask eagerly.
"Door." He says pointing to the front door. I look at it and there is another door, a bit smaller than the front door.
This door clear like glass. It has a light blue glow around it. In the middle I see a picture of a crystal ball and inside the crystal ball is a pink heart with a red cross in it. What does it mean?
"You see it?" James ask and I nod.
"What is it?" I ask.
"That there, Carlos, is your magic door. It will disappear and reappear whenever Crystal wants or needs to talk to you, or when you really need to talk to her."
"Who's Crystal."
"You'll see." James says and we walk to the front door and he open the magic door. I look in and down and see that it's all white. "Now, we jump!"
"Wait, jump?" Is he kidding me?
"Yeah, I know." He laughs. "I had the same reaction when Kendall told me that. Just... uh, when you land... uh, never mind."
Oh well, what can go wrong? I take a leap in and then I start falling. Ah! Someone help me! I'm screaming in terror. How deep is this?
Then about two seconds, I fall flat on my face. Surprisingly, it I didn't feel pain. Nothing broke. I'm safe! I jump up and grin as I look around. I'm in the middle of nowhere. No, more like I'm stuck in a blank piece of paper. Everything's white. What is this place? Where's James?
"James?" I call. Then I hear a groan. I look down and see him laying on his back before me. His face shows pain.
"Ow!" He screams. "Ugh, I hate this!"
"Are you okay?" I ask laughing as I give him a hand.
"Did you get hurt when you land?"
Now that he mentions it. "No, not at all." I shrug my shoulders.
"Why is it only me that gets hurt when I enter a magic door?"
"I don't know." I hum, shrugging again. Then say, "Where is this, James?"
He grabs my hand and I pull him up.
"This place, Carlos, is called Nowhere."
"Nowhere? Really?" Even a three-year-old can figure that out!
He nods.
"Oh, Carlos. There you are." A female voice says behind me. I turn around and see a woman about around her twenties. She has gray eyes and her hair is red mixed with bits of brown. "Thanks again, James."
"No problem, Crystal." James says.
"Who is this?" I ask James.
"Carlos, let me introduce you to Crystal Clair Voyance. She's your guardian. And she knows all of our friends with you wanna know that too."
"Guardian?" I ask.
"Yeah." Crystal says. "You already know what you can do, right?"
"Yep." I smile.
"Crystal here is going to watch your every move." James says. Okay, creepy.
"It's not creepy." Crystal says. She can read my mind? Creepier!
She sighs. "But I can only be able to watch you whenever you do your mission."
"Mission? What mission? I don't get it." I am highly confuse again.
"You see Carlos," Crystal says. "The heart attack you felt in the car was a little hint of your power, along with the stinging eyes you felt when you watch TV when Ethan had a vision. When he had the vision in the TV, you look into his eyes, there was a light you never knew about flashes out of the TV and into your eyes. The heart attack, you were able to feel people's pain. Now, that you touch someone, your eyes instantly glow white as you receive the vision."
"Oh, so how come I touch Logan a few minutes ago, I got a vision and suddenly, I got a headache. How come?"
"That's a side effect." She explain. "It only happens when you touch someone you're in love with. You have a vision and then when it's over, you got a headache."
Well, I do love Logan. Oh yeah, one more thing. " So, what about this mission you're talking about?"
"Well, Kendall and James had a mission to do. Kendall's job is to find people who have gray auras and help them get their colors back so they don't get suicidal. James' job is just saving people, you know that. They have to do that for the rest of their lives."
"So what's my job?" I ask.
"Your mission is to... well, that depends on the vision you've received. If you have a vision of the person in danger, you have to inform James and Kendall what you saw. And if you have a vision that tell you if a person is hurt, it will... well, you'll find out."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"There are steps to your mission or what I like to call them levels. Kendall and James had complete level two and they can't complete level three without you. Level one is to complete your beginners mission, level two, three, and four are teamwork. I'll explain those later once you completed level one."
"So, what's my beginners mission that I have to complete?"
"Your mission is to save Logan."
"Save Logan?" Why him?
"Kendall completed his mission when he saved James and bring his colors back when he felt suicidal after grieving about Shane."
"Uh, I'm right here!" James shouts.
"We know." Crystal says to him then turn to me. "James completed his mission by saving you when-"
James clears his throat. We stop and faces him waiting for what he needed to say. But he didn't. I turn back to Crystal.
"I'm telling him." She tells James then to me, "Anyways, he completed his mission when he thought Matt-"
James coughs.
I turn to him. "You good?"
He smiles and nods.
"He thought Matt was about to kill you with a bat so he-"
He coughs loudly this time.
Now this is annoying. "Do you need water or something?"
"No, I'm good." James grins innocently.
Crystal continues. "He thought Matt is killing you so he ask for a gun and-"
Now he starts hacking loudly.
Now I'm irritated. My head snaps at James. "Do you MIND?!"
"Yes I mind!" James snaps back. Then he faces Crystal. "Crystal, look, I don't want him to know."
"Not yet?" Crystal ask.
"No, not ever. Never!" He yells.
"Well, he's got to know someday." She says.
Then an older man appears.
"Digit!" James says. Digit? I heard of him once. He must be James' guardian. If he's James, then who's Kendall's?
"That's Roy." Digit says. Great, he can read minds too. "I'll take it from here." He tells Crystal. "Tell him when Logan gets his powers, okay?"
"Alright then." Crystal says.
"James." Digit says, trying to keep calm. "Come with me."
He didn't argue. He says, "Alright." and disappears with Digit. Where did they go?
"I'll tell you what James did later." Crystal says.
"Okay." He really looks like he doesn't want me to know. "So, what's James' power? He never told me."
"He's able to see numbers on top of people's head. Those numbers are death dates. During his mission, he saw yours and he have weeks or days to save you but he failed and you die."
"Die? But... I'm alive. James never did anything to me. Did he?"
"Carlos. Remember the day when he ask you for a gun."
"Yeah." I remember that day. The morning really, right after he went home from saving a puppy, which is a few days ago." I though he'll kill me."
"Well, he did."
"What?" NO HE DIDN'T!
"Yes he did. That night, when you guys went to Matt's house, James decided to stay out for a reason, so he can shoot Matt with a gun when he sees you harm. But instead, he accidentally shot you and you were dying from an embolism."
What? No. I don't remember that! All I remember is that I went out after dinner and such and found James had gone home. I didn't die!
"You had no memory because of what Logan did." Crystal says. Logan? What did he do?
"I'll tell you when Logan gets his powers. But before he gets his powers, you need to save him first."
"What will happen to him?" I ask worriedly.
"Frankly, I don't know."
Then I disappear, finding myself back in the living room, facing the couch. I found Kendall on the couch watching some TV. He sees me and smile. Now I'm a bit uncomfortable looking at him.
"Hey Carlos. You're back. Finally found your magic door huh?"
"Yep." I say, not smiling.
"So, where's James?"
"Still in Nowhere."
"Oh, nice. You went with him!"
"Yep."
"Cool, so you wanna sit and watch some television with me?" He says patting a space next to him. I don't want to get near a cheater.
"I'm good." I say dully and walk up to my room.
Done! So how is it? Well, review!
