A/N: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It really took me one hell of a long time to update. T^T. I am very sorry! Put the blame on my school and their crappy system. Haha. I have nothing against my school. Again, I have nothing against my school.

BTW, OMG! I received so many reviews! (Well, many for me) It made me very happy! :))))

So on we go with the storeeeh... ^^


I never really had the chance to tell Aaron about my Telekinesis.

Because it's either he's nowhere to be found or he's locked up in his room. We stopped our training, which sucks, since the snow was fully settled on the ground. We were just wasting the opportunity to do the real Lumen training.

So I spent most of my time touring the forest. I walked short distances from the ship. I walked around in circles and made small trails on the ground. I was imagining things out of nowhere. Once, I reached a small but wide clearing in the middle of the forest. I threw myself in the ground and started making a snow angel. It didn't look like an angel at all. I laughed and started walking back to the ship.

Once I arrived, I sat down at the steps. I played with my Telekinesis, half to amuse myself and the other half hoping that Aaron would see it. I toyed with the tennis balls that were left forgotten near the snow covered stacks of wood. I flung it in the air and threw it at a distance, and then I pulled it back. I experimented with my Legacy, to see how far my limit was. I thought, only thought, that my power was limited to my hands only. But then I realized that I could move things with my eyes, fingers, feet, and more. I could multitask.

I found a box of matches beside the stack of wood. I picked it up and pocketed it. I cut the ropes that bundled the stack of wood. I cleared a snow covered area and arranged the stack of wood in it. I started making a small fire. It took me four to five minutes because my hands were trembling in the process. I only realized it now how cold it was.

When the fire cooperated, I set the tennis balls on fire. And guess what I did next? I pretended that they were fiery balls of flame and I could control them. It was fun. I wished Aaron could see it.

When the fire died and the balls were reduced into hard fiber balls, I dropped them on the ground and worked my way up the steps. If Aaron would see them, I would have a lot of explaining to do.

I checked our food stock. They were limited only, enough to support us for the next few weeks until spring. I gathered a bunch of strawberries and stuffed them in my mouth. The blend of its sourness and sweetness made my jaw painful. I swallowed them as quickly as I can.

The rest of my day went on like this. I slept in the couch, wrapped in my blanket which I got from my room. I was supposed to wait for Aaron but I fell asleep. The next day, I woke up in my bed. Aaron was nowhere to be found. Somewhat I knew it was Aaron who brought me back in my room. At least I know he cared.

After a three weeks the snow ceased to fall, which was too early than the usual. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. I yawned and stretched my arms in front of me. I sat up, swung my legs to the side and dragged my feet to the kitchen. When I passed Aaron's room, I couldn't help but to check if it was locked or not. It was not locked. I opened the door and took a peek.

Aaron was head down sleeping on his desk. Beside him was a laptop. It was on, so I concluded that he fell asleep.

Gathering my courage, I slipped in as fast as I can to get his blanket and threw it around him. I know he'll do the same for me. I glanced up to the laptop and gave a small shriek. Good thing it was not audible enough to wake a single soul.

There, showed in the screen, was a picture of a young boy, somewhat aged 12 or so. Square jawed, shaggy dark blond haired and blue eyed. And there was a post-it note posted on the far edge of the screen, it said:

Number 4. Present Location: Paradise, Ohio.

I clamped my hand on my mouth. This only meant one thing. Whatever Aaron was planning it involves either us leaving the reservation to find them or them going to the reservation to find us. I crossed my fingers, hoping that we'll go with the second one.

I left the room and went back to mine, forgetting about the drink I needed to quench my thirst.

More weeks passed and the sun returned to us. It was only a hint of sun. Since Aaron was nowhere to be found again, I stepped out of the ship in my pajamas and absorbed every single amount of sunlight. I felt like I have been hibernating like a polar bear for years. I ate my breakfast outside the ship, expecting him any minute now.

And strike me, he did come.

He smiled at me as he approached. It irritated me.

"What are you, a guy with multiple emotion disorder?" I groaned

He chuckled; "I'm so sorry for my actions" and he sat beside me.

I tipped my head high. "Hmph. I don't like it. I feel stupid"

He shook his head, "Why go out in your pajamas?"

He was desperate on changing the subject. I could feel it.

"Because cows fly" I grumbled, feeling grumpier in the moment.

"Lucia. Please don't be like that to me"

"Unless you would tell me the reason why you are acting like an emotional freak, you'll suffer"

"Okay. Look, I'm sorry for being such a freak" he made air quotations on the word 'freak', "It's just because I've been stressed these days. Don't you realize how weird things are in this place?"

"I don't get you" I mumbled, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a bird cawed above us. I glanced up.

"Take that as an example. Birds could not enter our area"

I shrugged, "You're suggesting that the barrier is gone?"

"Almost gone" Aaron corrected me, "Something is triggering the barrier, causing it to weaken"

I simply shrugged again. "How do you explain the fishes? We used to catch fish before. How about the wild animals?"

"We used to catch fishes before" he repeated, "Before. We stopped doing it, right? It's because there are no more fishes left in the river. Whatever left inside the barrier can't go out"

I was stunned. It made me nervous.

He stood up, "If you're wondering what I'm doing, I'm simply watching over the camp. That's all. I do not have plans on leaving yet, unless things change; and then we have to switch to the unlikely choice" he winked and left.

I watched him walk away. I had to resist the urge to pull him back. He's such a wretched liar, a very bad one too.

With a sigh, I brought my dish to the kitchen and decided to kill time by taking a bath.

...

The days went by; weeks even. Winter finally ended and slowly by slowly, spring crawled. We have not made any progress either. Aaron was out most of the time. He would only return once I'm all tucked up in my bed. If he's home, he'd be locked up in his room where you would hear furious clicks of the mouse. Slowly and slowly, he was turning frantic about something. Of course it made me nervous. I always calm him down more than thrice a day. He thanked me for it.

Of course the urge of telling Aaron about my new Legacy was tempting. However, I think that my timing would be bad so I decided to keep it for little longer. I know how angry he would be if I tell him everything. He'd me scolding me about wasting our time. But how can I tell him if he's always out of the ship?

And slowly by slowly, our stay on the island was coming to an end.


A/N:

Please tell me if this chapter is good or bad. I'm very sorry if it is bad. But how can you write something good when a lot of people are constantly looking at your laptop? I hate attention. I really do.

R&R? Haha. Some love please, people!
