Reid
The pain had been awful as it hit my stomouch, but I had felt it many times before, so it didnt effect me as much as it should have, however the pain, my burning lungs, breaking throat, had been almost unbearable, feeling my self drowning, my head pounding and thumping, dispite there being no water or any substance to make it do so. I felt weak and sick and still the only thing on my mind was Kelly, what was that bastard doing to her? Where was she? Was there anyway that she could come out of this unharmed? I did not care about me, if given the choice- her or me- I would chose to save her everytime, I would die a thousand painful deaths if it meant she would be okay, I would more than happily stand here now and will him my power if it meant that she could go on and live the life she deserves.
I had heard Caleb say that he knew what was going on and I heard him explain that the handprint on Kellys neck that Chase had left that night was some kind of conection and he was linking it to me, and I was feeling everything that she was. The pain i had felt was her suffering. The thought angered me, more than anything ever had, not Aaron Abbot starting a fight, not Caleb beating on me or complaining about me using, nothing had ever pissed me off so badly. I roared and slammed my fist in the wall, roaring again, this time in agony as I eld my scraped and swelling hand to my chest.
"Reid! Dammit! Be careful! It could happen the other way around too!" Caleb said though he wasn't sure.
I immediately felt guilty, I would never knowingly put her in harms way or hurt her, if I hurt myself now she might feel it too, it broke my heart knowing that right at this moment I was too far away to protect her from that monster. I would kill him if it was the last thing I did and somehow I knew that either way it would be.
"So how do we find her?" I heard Tylers voice ask, I thought that maybe if that was the last thing I herd Tyler say in my lifetime I would be happy, he was my homeboy and of course I loved him, out of all my brothers, he was the only one who truly was, even if we were not connected by the power then we would still be best freinds. I would die before I hurt him. Though of course, I had hurt him so many times, everytime I called him a name, or everytime i pushed him aside or argued with him, I swore to myself that if we all survived I would change how I treated him.
I couldn't help but think that about Kelly too, I had said I would never deliberately harm her, yet I had, everyday I was putting her in harms way, every time I used, everytime I got angry and just everyday that I was with her while Chase was alive endangered her. Everyday I grew closer to my ascention without the certainty I would make it drew nearer to hurting her.
"I think I got something" Caleb said with uncertainty in his voice.
My head shot up "What?" my voice cracked as I asked it.
"You two are connected, you feel wat shes feeling" and I realised that right n ow I felt okay, thank God. "So we have to assume that it works both ways, that she will feel what you feel right?"
A few of them around me nodded, I just stared and I felt Sarah wrap her arms around my shoulders, "So maybe, if you really concentrate, maybe you can see her, see where she is?"
"You think that will work?" Pogue asked.
Caleb shrugged and replied "We can only hope" They turned to me and I asked "How do I do it?"
"Think of her and only her, Youll probably have to use, even though your so close to ascention, I would do it but Your more connected to her than any of us, in so many ways."
"I dont care about ascention, all I care about is making her safe" I said honestly and I could tell by their faces that they believed it.
I slid down the wall and crossed my arms over my chest and scrunched my eyes, after a while I growled, "I cant do it! All I an see is Chase!"
"Think of something in the past, before Chase took her"
"All I can see is her face as she grabbed her, " I knew my voice sounded heavy even as I promised myself I wouldn't cry, not because I was to hard to but because it just would not help anyone.
"Think back Reid, Remember, things you did together, things you laughed at, jokes, movies, anything, Search for her, Reid!" Caleb pushed.
I closed my eyes again and thought of her, only her, her smile, her white hair as it blew in the wind, how it whipped around her face, how it looked when she woke up in the morning knotted and tusseled but still beautiful. How she looked when she stepped out of the shower in her dorm (she had one of the rooms with an ensuite) wrapped in a towel, the shock on her face as she noticed me leaning against the door frame with a smirk on my face and her voice as she cried "were you watching me" before I walked towards her laughing and kissed her. I thought of her body, lithe and slim, how it looked naked, with a sheen of sweat bathed in lamplight when we spent the nights together, the way she snuggled against me when we were done, I thought of her laugh, twinkling and light and so quick to burst forth. I thought of one of our many days at our secret place, mainly one day, not long ago now, it had been raining all day but she had wanted to go anyway, there were no trees for shelter so as soon as we had arrived we were soaked to the bone and the ground below us was slippery, she had been holding tightly to my hand and slipped and we had both fallen to the floor, mud splashing all around us. I felt myself smile at this and heard one of the girls whisper "He really loves her" Yes I do, i thought and when I find her, when shes safe, Ill tell her.
Then I saw another feild, I didn't know this one, but she was there lying on the floor and at first I thought she was smiling, but as I got closer I realised she was grimacing, clutching her stomouch in the same place as me and breathing heavily, the handprint on her chest glowing red and her eyes bloodshot. Then I saw him above her, grinning like the Cheshire cat, and I wanted to scream, cry, shout and then I realised.
"I know where she is!"
