Mai's POV

Astral Projection:

I sat in an empty room, a mirror on one side that I knew was one sided. Mr. Larny had told me that he used this to test the powers of the family as they come in. It, apparently, was very useful. So, I sat there, looking at the wall as the machines hooked up to me buzzed and beeped.

"Ok Mai, I want you to close your eyes" Mr. Larny said, and I did just that. "Now breath slowly, in and out. You're going to project yourself. Just to the spot next to you…" He said, his voice fading slowly as I felt my body go limp.

However, I wasn't in the room anymore, but in a room that looked like the basement in my family castle. A few people were bustling around the room, dusting or sweeping. Then there were a few in the mirrors. Kids, women, men…all talking to someone on the outside of the mirror. The kids were playing with kids outside, be it a board game or cards. Women and men were talking… I looked around, I was one in the mirror…A small girl walked over and grabbed my hand.

"Welcome, Mai…Been waiting for you." She said. I was so confused.

"Who…are you?" I asked. The girl smiled softly.

"I am you…as a child…when your powers were stronger, and you were able to experience more. I am here to help you control them more. You already succeed at Astral Projection." Little me said. I rubbed my head. This is headache inducing. "Don't worry, I'm returning you to your body. The others are worried." She said. I nodded and followed.

As we entered the room, I could see Naru's eyes were worried, but he didn't show it in his face. Typical. Mr. Larny was patiently waiting beside him and watched as I sat back down in my body. Little me disappearing…

Visions and Telepathic Visions:

"Next is visions. We'll start with normal, then go to the telepathic." Mr. Larny said. I looked at Naru, slightly panicking.

"Can Naru be in here…?" I asked. Larny hesitated before answering.

"At first. If he stalls the process, I have to remove him from the room." He said, I nodded in understanding and laid back on the cot in the corner as the door opened. Naru walked over and grabbed my hand.

"When I finish speaking of the case, you'll describe your visions to me in detail." Larny said. I nodded, I was used to this, "Try and stay awake for this to explain as it's happening. If you fall asleep, you'll tell me when you wake." He added.

'Great… I can't stay awake for these things.' I thought, Naru gripped my hand as I closed my eyes as he explained the case. I place appeared in my head, but as I tried to stay awake, the vision blurred. I had to sleep for it to be clear. So, I let myself fall asleep.

I stood in a field, but I could hear water near me. I looked around and saw a small cabin. Three kids were playing in the field and a woman, who was pregnant, sat under a tree. I walked closer, Gene appearing next to me and guiding me as usual.

'What happened here…' I said to myself.

'A massacre…' Gene said sadly.

I looked around, quiet. The kid's laughs filled my ears, the mothers singing softly as she set up the picnic blanket. A man came from the woods with a basket and a soft smile as he sat next to the woman and kissing her head. I watched as the scene changed to screams instead of laughs, blood covering the grass.

I covered my mouth as I walked closer to the picnic blanket. I felt I'd see something graphic. And I did…The fathers face was…bashed in…the kids all stabbed…the mother…oh god…the mother…throat slit…her belly…her stomach was…the baby was…hanging…out…of her stomach, which had been cut out… I was going to be sick…

The scene around me changed again, this time I wasn't watching, I was…I was the mother… and I saw the face of the murderer…Dark hair…Blue eyes…His eyes were dead…I couldn't hear…a name like I normally could though…

'No…No!' I thought, 'NO!' I tried to scream. But I couldn't…I was stuck watching the full murder taking place…FEELING the pain…and sorrow of the mother as she watched her kids be killed…her husband tied as she was cut open…then killed…and the last thing she did…was reach for her dying husbands hand as she faded…

I screamed and cried, my body pulling me back to the waking world.

I shot up screaming and crying, gripping my head before tearing the cords and IVs out of my arms. The heart monitor was going crazy until I ripped those off. I got out of the cot I was laying in. Even though I knew I was in a room I saw the field…the blood. I kept screaming. Feeling warmth after a minute as the door slammed open and Mr. Larny ran in with a nurse.

"Mai! Mai!" Naru yelled. My vision cleared as I felt him grab me, a warmth coming over me. I was panting at this point. I couldn't breathe, but I grasped onto Naru for dear, dear life. The images clear in my mind still.

Naru's POV

I sat calmly as she slept, I knew it's how she saw her visions. I pet her head, and she was calm for a good hour… Then the shakes started. She started seizing again. This time it was bad. Way worse than the last few nightmares she had. Then the screams and the tears.

"What's going on?" Larny had said over the intercom.

"It happens with her visions! Mostly the ones where she ends up as the victim, what fucking case did you tell her?!" I yelled.

"An old cold case we nor the police could solve…" He said as she laid there, her reactions getting worse. A bruise forming on her throat, blood soaking her shirt around her stomach.

"Get a nurse in here!" I yelled, standing, I tried to wake her up. Jumping back when she shot up, screaming and ripping out the IVs and the heart monitoring pads off as she looked around aimlessly, her head still in the vision.

"Mai! Mai!" I yelled, wrapping my arms around her so she wouldn't hurt herself. Her screaming stopped, but she was panting, hard. Hugging me tightly, as if either she or I would disappear. I held her close and tight as the door slammed open and the nurses and Larny ran in.

"Hand her here…" The nurses said, I shook my head.

"Not with her like this. I'll follow you to the infirmary…" I said, they nodded. I picked Mai up and followed them down. Looking at her I saw her eyes…Wide and afraid…she's never afraid…not anymore…not of anything but NoriYuki…
