Disclaimer: I do not own Scryed

I found out early in my life that I liked to work. Farming, milling, gardening, repair...I enjoy doing all of it. For that reason, it was always easy for me to find a job outside of the mainland. Someone was always in the need of help, and I was a person who was willing to help.

Today I was helping build a shed on the corner lot in the feild. The other women were chatting, and I was busy hammering the planks together.

"So Kanami-san, how's life with that boy of ours?" one of the elder women asked me. She was painting the wood, and laying it out to dry.

"Kazuma is doing well." I replied, "He's working today."

"I'm so impressed!" she grinned, "For a while he wouldn't do any work at all."

I smiled at them, laughing uneasily.

When they first started out a new life after I was rescued from the mainland, life was very hard on us. We were not able to make enough money on my income alone, so Kazuma had started hunting bounties again. Although, we had to keep this and secret from everyone, and most people had just thoughthe was a free-loader.

That year, Kazuma spent days and nights hunting one bounty after another. It saved us.

"Kazuma is a free spirit." I smiled, "I...just feel guilty if I have to supress it at all."

A gust of wind blew, and the hat of one of the other ladies blew past me. It was then that I noticed that the sky was starting to get cloudy. I had not noticed it this morning because it was sunny out, but it had been very warm and humid. As the ladies were talking, and murmuring amongst themselves about the cloudy sky. When they were not watching, I snapped my fingers, and the hat instantly appeared into my hand.

Over the last year, I had been practicing to perfect my Alter powers. Specifically, my abilities of telekenisis. It was more difficult the telepathy, and it took a great deal of control.

"Elena-san, here's your hat."

"Oh, thank you dear." she took in from me.

The door opened, and the supervisor looked at us.

"You can go home early ladies! There's a storm warning over the radio!" she said.

Picking up the materials, we walked towards the house, closing the door behind us. As I sat at the table the supervisor, a middle-aged woman named Fran, handed me a glass of ice water. I thanked her and proceeded to listen to the radio.

"...a storm front is approaching quickly from the mainland, and it heading due east..."

I sighed, at least Kazuma was in the opposite direction.

"It's comming right towards us." Fran-san gasped, "Sounds dreadful."

"It should be alright." Elena smiled, "What do you think, Kanami-chan?

I frowned, hearing the wind blow outside. The feeling that was beginning to sweap through me was not a good feeling. Suddenly, I was very worried about Kazuma. Looking at the clock, technically there were 4 hours left of my shift and 5 left of Kazuma's.

"I...think that I should head home. I can get lunch started-"

"Nonsense!" Fran smiled, "Stay here and wait. We'll have one of the men walk you back."

I had a bad feeling. My Alter was telling me that something bad was going to happen and that I, or the village might be in danger.

"Okay." I said uneasily.

Looking towards the window I sighed, the sky was getting darker and darker.

Please come back soon Kazuma...

Sorry for the wait, I've been busy. I hope you enjoyed it!
