After arriving at Kyle's house, Amanda had left and read the information.
"Jessi, there's no way that's possible. We're the only ones," Kyle said.
"But Latnok created another. Let's find out if she is."
"Pull up your shirt, Kayla."
"No," Kayla answered.
"Why?"
"I don't feel comfortable doing that."
But Kayla did. She did it reluctantly, and pulled up her shirt. Kyle and Jessi gasped.
Just then, Nicole Trager had walked in.
"Kayla…oh
my…"
Kayla ran off to Jessi's house. She went to her
"room." Taylor said,
"I heard
you come in."
"I don't know what to do. Did you know
anything about me?"
"Yes, I knew you were the one Latnok released to live 'normally' for eleven years."
"I didn't know."
Just then, Jessi responded,
"You
knew all this time, Taylor?"
"Yes, but you still don't know
for certain."
Jessi said,
"Jump off the roof."
"I'm not going to do that."
Taylor said,
"I have a better idea. Tomorrow morning, join Jessi in her training."
Jessi mouthed.
Don't do it. You'll be tired.
"I'll do it."
"Excellent."
The
next morning, Taylor set another treadmill for Kayla. There was even
another weight saying "25 lbs." Taylor was about to put the wire
when when Kayla said,
"I don't need them."
"Jessi, Kayla, thirteen miles on the treadmill. Another objective is to move your weights in this session. Go!"
Kayla began to jog at a steady pace and the door began to feel the wind. After two miles of jogging at a steady pace, Taylor said,
"We're going to take you to a faster jog. For the next six miles."
Kayla POV-
Jessi wanted to see if I was one of them. I could use my abilities and even extend myself without straining hard.
Normal POV-Taylor watched and thought,
Latnok
will be pleased with this, but I don't want them to think Jessi
wasn't a mistake. They don't approve of her already. I need to
deal with Kayla. And what if Latnok wants Kayla to be superior? I got
to make sure she isn't."
After the
six miles, both Jessi and Kayla were sweating normally.
"Now, you two, full speed for the remaining five miles!"
We were working on moving our objects.
Kayla POV-
I concentrated throughout the workout…until finally…the wind came through and pushed the door open and brought my weight down. I said, after the workout,
"Come on, Jessi. Let's go,"
I
noticed that she was strained again. The only thing I felt was her
strain. Both of us were streaked with sweat, so we had to get cleaned
up.
Meanwhile, Kyle was heading to see Adam about Kayla. He wouldn't believe it, like he did about Sarah's messages, but it couldn't hurt.
Jessi and Kayla called Kyle and they agreed to meet Kyle where they Adam usually hid.
"Kayla, is any of this true? Jessi found you were created like her and Kyle. You were created by Latnok?" Adam asked.
"I don't
know if I was. I didn't know who Latnok was until Kyle and Jessi
told me."
"You honestly don't know?"
Jessi added,
"I have more proof. I wanted her to jump off the roof, but Taylor wanted to join me in a training session."
"You told him, Jessi?"
"No, he said he knew even before I hacked in to Latnok-that he doesn't know about-of a created experiment by Latnok."
"So…the
workout. How'd it go? Kayla, you don't seem too tired."
Jessi added,
"She knocked the weight down with her wind and felt no strain."
"She passed the test Jessi couldn't finish," Kyle replied, "And this prove it."
Kayla added,
"I don't know what I am. And, I'm
not pulling my shirt again."
But Kyle looked up at Kayla with
a look that told her,
Just do it. It'll be fine. You won't be in trouble.
Kayla pulled up her shirt and revealed it again.
"Kayla, it can't be…"
"Okay. It's official, Kayla. You're a pod child. Let me see the file."
Jessi and Kyle heard the file once again.
"I can't take this anymore, Jessi. I'm leaving." Kayla said.
"You don't need me," Kayla said, "I thought I was Wiccan because I could do a lot of things. I even researched."
"Kayla, don't worry about anything," Kyle replied, "You'll be fine."
"No, I just found out I'm created and I can't change that."
"No, you can't."
"I'm tired. It's been a long day and I want to go home. Come on, Jessi."
"There's something else, Kayla," Adam said, "Don't tell anyone."
