What is this feeling?

I'M BACK! and I still own nothing...lol

...

Mari POV...

We both froze as the doorbell rang.

He lowered me to the ground and our noses brushed together sweetly as he pulled away. I knew from that moment that things could never be the same between us.

Either we would come together or we would separate for good. Those two choices loomed before me in a daunting way.

However, I could not really be with him, I was too damaged, there was no way he would ever truly love me. Yet something in the back of my head urged me onward towards him.

I couldn't explain what it was, but it seemed like I was being controlled by something to want him. I wondered if he felt the same or if he really did like me.

Train's POV...

She kicked me out of her room so she could get dressed and I walked to the end of the hall where the others were in the front room greeting a woman into the house. Shawna and the new girl were hugging each other chattering a mile a minute and I couldn't understand any of it. Not that I was paying much attention anyway.

"So what happened?" asked Sven quietly.

I smiled a cocky smile and replied "What do you think happened?"

He chuckled "You cad."

Mari came in from the hall way dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a white baby doll top revealing a thin white ribbon tied around her neck and from this ribbon hung a small round silver bell.

Something about it triggered a feeling that I had known her before now. Had she worn it yesterday? I thought back and realized she had worn a high-necked shirt, and she obviously didn't wear it when she slept or I would have noticed it earlier when I kissed her.

Just the thought of it made me blush. She looked me in the eye then turned noticing the newcomer.

"Chrystal!" she yelled and ran to the new girl embracing her. They laughed and spun around together. "I'm so glad you're here! Has Shawna told you everything yet?"

Chrystal laughed "Just about. She told me about yesterday and them." She said pointing to me and Sven.

Mari laughed again and suddenly fell silent. She was staring straight ahead and her eyes not focused on anything. Her look went to a pained expression and her eyes closed.

Worry shot through me. "What's wrong with her?" I asked.

Shawna opened her mouth to answer when Chrystal stepped towards Mari and poked her on the forehead. Mari's eyes closed and flew open and her expression was that of shock.

"Good morning star shine the earth says hello!" said Chrystal.

Everyone was silent for a second then Mari burst out laughing and everyone followed suit.

...

Lil' bit later no one's POV…

"So you get visions of the future?" asked Sven. Mari nodded and said "The possible future. Nothing is set in stone."

Sven continued "And you said you saw Bernio and his men on the suspension bridge at night?"

She nodded placing plates of food before her guests. "There you go guys, breakfast is served."

"Is there a way to tell when this will occur?" He knew she wanted to catch Bernio and he had decided to help her any way he and Train could.

"In the next few days. My visions only go that far ahead." She said sitting down next to Shawna.

The morning was full of questions and research into the criminals they were facing, mixed with catch up talk with the girls, and silent glances between Mari and Train.

Train POV...

I didn't know what to do. Should I ask her about the kiss? Do I wait for her to come to me?

Women are so confusing!

I glanced at her all through the morning and she never seemed to be alone till I finally caught her walking alone down the hallway towards her room.

I called out her name and she turned to me. At the sight of her eyes I was dumbfounded and lost my words.

"Is there something I can do for you?" She said with a smug smirk. While rolling her eyes she opened her bedroom door and ushered me in. She closed it behind her and leaned against it.

I decided to be the first to talk. "I don't know what happened this morning, but…"

She stepped forward interrupting my words with, "You don't know what happened? I wake up and you are kissing me, that's what happened!"

I held my hands up in surrender. "Yes I know and I'm sorry, but in my defense you did kiss back." She sighed and I almost smacked my forehead for that stupid comment.

"Yes I did… I've been very starved of affection lately and I just…ok that's a lame excuse. I don't know… it was like…"

It was my turn to interrupt. "Like something was controlling you?"

She looked at me funny then asked "How did you know I was going to say that?"

I raised my eyebrows and responded. "Why do you think I tried to kiss you last night?"

She looked at me stunned then said "Wait…only last night? What about this morning?" She couldn't mask a slight smile on her delicate features.

I really wanted to duck out and say I was controlled by that strange whatever it was, but that would be lying and I didn't want to lie to her so I said nothing. I backed up a few steps and sat down on her bed. Her eyes were so intense I couldn't take much more.

I looked away and she sat down next to me. "Listen, I just think that we should…" She was cut off as our eyes met when I turned back to her, and suddenly a slight pain went through my mind. Hers too judging by the expression on her face.

She reached out a hand to me and the moment her skin touched mine the pain vanished. Creases appeared on her forehead and she stared at me as though mentally asking me what the heck just happened.
