Laurie and Laurel are on the phone
Laurie: Have you ever noticed that when you think Ping hears you?
Laurel: What do you mean "hears"? She hugs her pillow
Laurie: I mean…like if you say something to yourself w/out purposefully aiming the thoughts at Ping- he still hears it. Do you ever get the feeling he is more than a talking cat?
Laurel: I have no clue really…I'm not psychic- so I can't really –sense- anything. Yet, I can't help but think that Ping is more then he is showing us…
Laurie: Exactly, y'know… Her voice softens I don't have to be psychic to notice that something is bothering you…
Laurel: Nothings bothering me! She gets defensive I…I…I'm just sleepy- yeah sleepy. That's all. She turns invisible and says this
Laurie: Doesn't believe her Well, maybe you should go to bed, then. Maybe, you'll feel better in the morning?
Laurel: Maybe…well, I'll see you tomorrow. Night…
Laurie: See ya Laurel… Reluctantly hangs up
Over at Katie's
Katie: Runs in the room and uses telekenisis to slam the door shut, Ping sleepily looks up from her pillow
Ping: What's wrong with you?
Katie: Wouldn't you like to know! She lays down on her bed and glares at Ping
Ping: Uncharacteristically, he softens his voice- truly concerned and asks What- did – you- see? His voice sounds almost scared
Katie: Shocked by Ping's concern How- how- do you know I saw something?
Ping: I felt it.
Katie: Jumps up from her bed So, you do have powers! Gets angry once again How come you never tell me anything! Everyone is learning and growing! Everyone knows something more about you then me! It's not fair! Everyone fights, but you make me run! I feel like you're locking me in a box Ping! She continues to shout, but Ping interrupts
Ping: SILENCE! She quiets herself Now you listen to me- kneel down so I can speak to you to face to face. She kneels by the foot of her bed so she is level with Ping You don't understand…
Katie: I do understand! I understand that you are hiding something from me… ((stupid cat))
Ping: ((I heard that!))
Katie: ((You're a telepath?)) Yet, another secret you've hid from me…How can I trust you?
Ping: You aren't ready to- to know yet.
Katie: Ping- The phone rings interrupting them. She answers it moshi moshi? (hello)
Laurie: moshi moshi, Katie-chan.
Katie: hears worry in her voice Is something the matter Laurie?
Laurie: I'm worried about Laurel. She says nothing's wrong, but I think she's hiding something.
Katie: to Ping ((You and Laurel should make a club))
Laurie: I was wondering if you could- y'know- "read" her.
Katie: somewhat shocked You want me to read her mind?
Laurie: No…I just wanted to know if you could tell me if she is lying.
Katie: relieved Oh, ok!
Laurie: Thanks! pauses and whispers I just thought I'd tell you, Laurel and I think that – well- there's something fishy about Ping.
Katie: I can see that raises her eye brows at Ping Well, I have to go…
Laurie: Ok, bye..
Katie: Syonara hangs up and turns to Ping That settles it Ping! Tomorrow you're going to tell EVERYONE- all of the secrets you are hiding…
Ping: Very well he says kindly and Katie's jaw drops I will tell you some secrets…this may take a while… Katie sits on her bed The first thing you need to know is- I'm only trying to keep you 5 safe… 2nd- keeping you safe Katie has proven quite a task…
Katie: What? Why?
Ping: Katie, you are a seer- and I have the potential to be very powerful…something you must know about seers is- As a seer, you are both Mystic and Silence…
Katie: What! shocked
Ping: ((shhh…)) It is true. That is why I keep you "in a box". If you were to turn to silence- it could mean the end of us all… Katie's jaw drops and Ping sighs There once was a seer name Eevin (pronounced Ay-ven) he was powerful and good…then, suddenly he turned to silence…
Katie: Why?
Ping: His sister- the very princess we are looking for- disappeared…his heart could not bare it… Ping's face looked stricken with pain He's gone now…
Katie: Being a seer, senses his pain Oh….Ping scratches behind his ears
Ping: the longest haired- he used to be just like you.
Katie: He's a seer?
Ping: nods
Katie: But how? You said we were all that was left…
Ping: and you are…he turned to silence…Katie, you are the only pure seer left. You have to understand- IT IS MY FAULT that Eevin and his sister are gone… I can't loose you, DAMN IT! So just be grateful that I have sworn my life on protecting you and stop asking questions! The cat curls up at the end of her bed and closes his eyes
Katie: Thank you for telling me- at least a little bit Ping… And with that she sends an email to everyone- telling them what she has learned
To be continued…..
