Chapter Fifteen-Secret Passages,Secret Powers

Jonathan peered around the corner at the Robas' house. "Oh no...Espa's right outside!"

"Go distract him then. I'll help Victoria into the house." Christien suggested, pulling his girlfriend closer. He'd deal with her deciet later. "You better appreciate this, Tori."

"I do...." Victoria leaned on him, still weak. But her mind was doing something weird. She was seeing visions of Psychic Kappa,Christien's card. "Christien, something's -"

"Shh...." Christien yanked her into the house sharply. "We gotta make it past Andrew and Little E before they see you."

Victoria winced at the force with which Christien pulled her. "Ow....." She muttered.

Christien looked around, before opening a closet at the bottom of the stairs. It was like a cupboard, really. "In here." He pulled her through. "Okay,now we go down." He lead her down a dark staircase. Then he went up,and closed the trap door. "Okay. Now you can talk. What is it?"

"Christien, what's wrong with your Psychic Kappa?" It was the only thing she could think of to ask.

"N-nothing......" The boy was a bit startled. The truth was, he'd been thinking of trading the card off for a stronger one. "Are you alright?"

"I can read your mind....." She spoke softly. "I can see pictures of your thoughts!!"

"N-no way! You're psychic?!" His eyes widened like dinner plates. But then he sobered,seeing how shaken she was. "Are you......okay?"

"I....I don't know. I wasn't psychic before...something awakened that other percent of my mind...."

"Maybe a combination of the portal and Yami Bakura's Item power.....?" Christien sat next to her. "Are you okay?"

"I.....I don't know.....I really don't like this......" She couldn't seem to turn it off.

"Shh......" Christien heard footsteps on the stairs. "I think it's Andy. Listen,I'll be right back. Don't go away."

"Where am I gonna go?" She mouthed, as Christien made his way out.

"Chrisien,who here?" Andrew wanted to know as he saw his elder brother come out.

"No one." Christien replied calmly. "I was getting my deck. Come on. Are you hungry?"

"Espa feeded us already." Andrew told him. "Wanna play cards?"

"Not right now. Where's Jonathan?"

"Outtide." Little E replied. He pointed.

"Thanks,E. I'll be right back you two. Don't go anywhere." He left to go get his brother.

Jonathan was waiting for Christien. "Well?"

"She's safely away from him. " His younger brother reported. But the middle Roba had an odd look on his face.

"Chris? What's the matter?"

"Something really weird's happened to Victoria." He frowned in worry.

"What do you mean?" Jon walked to the back door.

"She's psychic." Christien mouthed as Mokuba approached.

Jonathan's eyes widened. "WHAT?!"

"What's going on?" Mokuba walked up to them. "Christien, you look like you've seen a ghost...."

"Victoria seems to have developed psychic powers, thanks to the portal." Christien managed to explain.

"Whoa......." Mokuba gawked. "Wait'll Marik hears!"

"I bet they'll flip..." Jon predicted. "Anyway,how does she take them?"

Christien sighed. "I don't know, really. She seemed kinda freaked out..." He felt slightly sorry for Victoria, but he wouldn't tell anyone. "I'm gonna go to her. Jon, cover for me, okay?"

"Of course." Jon nodded, and he and Mokuba went to play on their catapult.
