Chapter Six: It's All In A Touch
When Thierry had said that they would train hard and fast they weren't joking. The glass had been replaced in the main gym and every member of Daybreak had
taken full advantage.
They were all training harder than Kaitlin had ever thought possible Kaitlin guessed it was because everyone was still smarting from the fact that they had been attacked on their own turf.
The guys that had been captured were not giving everything up, At least not yet. Thierry had assured her that that would not last long. If that was the case Kaitlin was with them 100.
Kaitlin herself had never felt so tried, yet so powerful in all her life. Yet she felt useless. She didn't have the power of her body the way Jez did.
Or the control over Blue Fire the way Delos did or the complete raw power that Illiena had and it made her doubt everything she had been told.
She knew she had the power. But try as she might she couldn't get it to wake up. The training was over and everyone was leaving. She let them. She couldn't face it right now. Face them.
With their high hopes and expectations when she couldn't seem to summon up the same in her own mind. She had never believed she was destined for anything much. She was a dreamer and invisible to everyone minus her brother.
Her elder brother from her old world had thought her invisible. She had no close friends and was a loner and had turned to books to hide the hurt that sometimes slipped though her mask of I-don't-care-what-people-think.
Which for the most part was true. Past hurt had made her cold. But now... now it was difficult to be cold.
She had a twin brother that seemed to know her every thought and everyone took care of her. They constantly checked on her. Showed her what to do and made her feel like apart of them.
They had given up trying to call her princess because she had flat refused. But many had taken to calling her Aurora. Her given name. All apart from Galen and Nilsson. Galen still occasionally called her Kaitlin but more often or not her called her "Rora."
His own name for her.
And Nilsson still called her Kaitlin. She didn't correct him. It was her name and she liked the fact that by still calling her it they hadn't forgotten that she was still not used to being here.
Thierry had also taken to calling her Kaitlin saying that they had referred to her as "Kaitlin" for so no one would no they were talking about her he wasn't going to change now (if that was ok) Kaitlin agreed that it was.
Every time she had tried to go invisible they had stopped her. It was almost as if they knew what she was trying to do and watching for it.
She was so used to people looking over the top of her and being able to go un noticed it was quite a shock to her system when she could not do it any more.
But despite all this the hurt still showed and she hated that she might be letting people down.
She walked to the wall and slid down its smooth surface. She brought her knees up to her chest and put her face down on them and cried.
She cried away all the tension and all the fear she had been keeping in since the night before. She cried and cried until she was sure she had no more tears to cry.
"Kaitlin?" she looked up startled. She hadn't realised that anyone else was here. And then felt really, really stupid when she realised who it was. Nilsson. Oh God.
He sat down beside her. "Kaitlin what is it?" she looked at him through waterlogged eyes. His face was a mask of concern. She wiped her tears on her sleeve without looking at him and turned away mumbling "Nothing." In response to his earlier question.
After all he was Nilsson the brave Vampire Hunter.
She had watched him during training he taught the others how to fight and they all respected him. He was the key. There was no way he would be impressed by a little girl's fears when he faced them every day as part of Circle Daybreak.
She didn't know what to expect from him but blind concern was not on her list. "Kaitlin. You're lying. You wouldn't be crying if there was nothing the matter. Please. Tell me sweetheart." She looked up at him. He was beautiful there was no doubt about that. He'd called her sweetheart. No one had ever called her that with the exception of her foster father back in her world.
But that didn't count.
"I'm scared." The words came tumbling out of her mouth before she could stop them. And then she looked down ashamed of herself.
"Kaitln look at me." She refused so he reached for her. His hand made contact her vision exploded in vivid white light.
Pink clouds fell down over her vision and she could feel Nilsson beside her. She reached for him but instead of her body responding her mind reached for him and the barriers that normal people experienced fell away from her and she was able to see right into his mind. He recoiled as she reached for him.
Kaitlin...
He said his voice sounding raggered and scared you don't know what you're asking... I know she said what's going on. Does this always happen?
This has never happened to me in my life. Nilsson said sounding as confused as she felt.
She ignored him and reached for him anyway.
He wasn't quick enough to block her this time and before she knew it his mind surrounded her. She could see everything. But he could see her everything. She panicked. But then she forgot about everything when she saw the black cloud. Nilsson was in so much pain.
She touched it and felt him stiffen. Kaitlin please don't... At the same time he was reaching for her. He touched her and she stiffened.
Then she melted into him. So alone... She whispered I've always been so alone. I thought that was how I always was meant to be. I'm invisible to everyone. So alone...
She felt Nilsson's gasp and felt him wrap himself around her. You've never been invisible to me. He said. I've watched you more closely than you can possibly know. And I can't let you go now. She smiled. His care and concern nearly broke her heart.
I'm gonna keep you safe Kate no matter what happens he said I'm so scared Kaitlin sobbed he nuzzled her and made her feel safe.
You can't go through life never being scared Sweetheart. It's okay. Remember Courage is not when someone is not afraid but when they do it regardless. That's you. My little Braveheart.
A lump formed in Kaitlin's throat. She had never thought she could care about someone this fast. She didn't think you could fall this fast or hard. But you could. You could and she had.
The real world came back. It roared back and they were still in the gym and everything looked the same yet it was so different.
"Oh Goddess." She breathed, "What in earth's name was that? I've never felt anything like that before."
She smiled suddenly shy. She had no idea how to act around him.
He had seen all her inner thoughts and knew everything about her. Was it safe to let someone that close? Hell she hadn't even realised it was possible! Nilsson stared down at Kaitlin. She looked so beautiful and so innocent and so lost. Yet she looked happily blissful.
He had had no idea it would be like that. It was like how he had heard the others describe it. He had never felt closeness with anyone before and now he had he didn't want to let her go. He signed she had to know.
"I know what that was Kaitlin. I hadn't realised it was possible to be that way with another person. But..." He sighed and shook his head. "I'm no good at this. I can't focus around you." She looked startled. "Me? What did I do?" He smiled at her innocence. She had no idea how closely he'd watched her grow up.
He had loved her since she had turned thirteen and he'd been allowed to guard her and her true nature had begun to shine through. He was so tied up in her now he could barely think.
"You tie my heart up in knots." He said with a brutal honestly that shocked him. He shouldn't be saying this to her she might want to turn and run but he knew that she deserved nothing but the truth.
So he gave her it.
"You make it hard for me to see things clearly. You have no idea how much I care or how much I wish you'd look my way." he stopped and looked at the floor.
"I never felt this way about anyone before. I never even knew it was possible. I've seen it. I've seen my friends struck down but I never believed it would happen to me. I've always been alone I always just assumed I would always be."
Kaitlin's heart wrenched. Didn't he realise she loved him? Did he want to tear her heart out?
She didn't want him to be lonely. She wanted to be there for him. She knew what it was like to face the world alone and she didn't want to do it anymore. He looked up at her.
Their eyes locked.
"Did you feel it Kaitlin?" He whispered, "There is a cord running between us now. I'm connected to you forever. Were-"
"Soulmates."
Kaitlin said with him. Her heart was singing. What other explanation was there? But her head intervened.
"There's no such thing." She said quietly.
Nilsson faced her his face impassive and said, "Why is that Kaitlin?" "Because soulmates are things in books they don't happen to people like me. I'm invisible no one cares about me. Why would the universe put someone on the earth for me?" Nilsson nearly keeled over in shock. What had happened to her to make her so insecure?
But he forgot all about that when he suddenly couldn't stop himself anymore and reached for her and pulled her against his chest.
She was at least a head and a half shorter than him but she fit like she had been born to and he tipped her head back and felt the connection hum in response. "Just tell me what you feel not you think Kate."
With that his lips crashed down on hers smothering any of her counters and making it impossible for either to talk for a long while.
