I woke up in a place I did not notice. I was on a couch that was very soft and looked to be dark red, as was the room. Everything in the room seemed to be dark red or black. Though it did not clash badly or look to dark, it actually looked mean and ferocious. I shifted my weight so I could lie on my side, and an agonizing pain shot through my whole body and all the memories came rushing back at once.
Kathleen was drunk off her ass, Saline was in a fury, TJ was kissing my roommate, and my heart was being torn. How could he? How could they?
Saline called me, I guess she knew I was awake because it was the first time she called my phone since I had passes out, or she was a good guesser. Who cared? I answered it.
"Hello. What's wrong?" I said through my teeth because the talking was making the pain worse. I winced.
"I knew you would be waking up. Now I am going to go and rip Travis James a new ass! I will burn him where the moon does not shine and then fix it to burn him again! AH! I cannot believe that little. Ouhh!" She was furious. I do not think I have ever seen her this way, and I sure as hell hope I do not see it again. It was frightening.
I started to sob.
"I am sending Joshua Santos over to be with you so you aren't alone while I am gone. I am Ah!" Saline was so pissed, and scared, and annoyed and happy and displeased. "By the way I can read what you're thinking about me. By the way what you feel means that you have just found another affinity you acquire missy. You can read people's emotions and such, but not their minds. It can be very handy or very bad. I love you, I have to go I see his stupid ass and I see that bitch!" Then the line went dead.
I realized she said I had an affinity to feel others emotions, but I did not feel many of them right now from different people. So I focused on TJ and his emotions came across severely strong, they were frightened, hopeless, pissed, worried, lust filled, and so many more it was overbearing. I got so lost in him and his emotions that all reality was blocked out. I could not seem to get out of the trance type thing I was in.
Everything was dark. I could not see anything but colors and shapes in which were somewhat organic so I could not tell what they were. There were black, blood red, a violent purple, blistering blues, and so many more, dark, painful, miserable, sorrowful colors. It was horrific.
I could hear a faint pounding sound. It was as if someone were knocking. Moreover, I could not get a grip on reality yet, I was so intertwined with TJ.
Saline was hurting him. Since I was his 'love', I could feel his pain and not just emotions.
I let out a blood-curling scream. The pounding stopped and I heard a thud! This shook me out of TJ's head a little bit and I was able to see the outline of a figure and its shadow. It was hovering over me, shaking me harder and harder which took me more and more out of TJ. I guess the figure saw that it would take forever to get me to snap out of whatever I was in, since I was still not as you'd say 'coming to', so he got a bucket or a few cups or something, filled them with water, and dumped them all over me, followed by, it picking me up and placing me in his lap. This brought me back to what was really happening.
I was dreadfully tired now from that excruciating episode, I just fell lifeless in his arms. I fell asleep.
I woke up on my bed, next to the figure in which was with me when I fainted. I sat up and cleared my through. "Who are you?" I asked half asleep though very alert.
"I am Joshua. But you may call me Josh. I am a very, very talented actor. I can do just about any scene from any play, movie, show, comic, et cetera. I also have the power to shield. For instance; if someone were to come here to hurt you or try to pry into your mind, I could shield them so they couldn't draw closer. And I am here because Saline wanted me to watch over you until she returns." He said with a kind and very considerate smile. I nodded. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately. At least he could not read minds. I kept quiet. He kissed my forehead. This surprised me but made me very happy! Why?
*****15MINUTES LATER!*****
Saline walked through the door with Kathleen and Travis James handcuffed by a wire of fire. Well damn, I wonder what happened. I was sitting in Josh's lap and TJ got pissed off.
"I need to give you something. It is going to be hot, but it is a gift you will need, severely at this moment." Luna said as she walked over to me and placed her hand right around the same exact place I got my stamps. She whispered the same thing to sooth the heat, and when she took her hand off a few moments later, she said, "What am I thinking?"
"I cannot read minds. I do no-." I was interrupted when, I thought, she yelled 'listen to me'.
"I am!" I yelled back.
'I told you that you could do it. I said nothing aloud you retard!' she said in her mind. Then laughed aloud. I smiled, and so did Josh.
"What do you want to happen here missy?" Luna has always called me Missy. It is just something she made up for me in the second grade. "Do you want me to set them on fire, hang them from the Eiffel Tower? What do you want me to do to them?"
"Kathleen. I want her out of my room. Fuck that I want her out of my fucking building. And him I want him to feel all the pain I felt." I said. Then I wanted to know what he was thinking. I listened to his mind.
'That bitch! She does not even know I can control how people feel and how strong they can be. Ha! She still don't know I made her feel that way about me. Nevertheless, how much pain did she feel? Oh, goddesses please do not let it be that bad. And what is she thinking?'
With that dumb ass thought, he tried to hear my thoughts but got nothing but an echo of his own.
'Oh my god, Saline you stupid bitch! You gave her the fucking power to read minds. Why not give her everything you have. She has most of it. I can no.' He was cut short when Saline and I both flung forwards at him, throwing him into a wall. Well, actually, we threw him at the wall but he ended up going through two, along with Kathleen whom was still attached to him by the fire handcuffs.
Kathleen was minorly hurt. No serious injuries that couldn't be healed in two seconds. However, TJ, TJ was hurting. And I felt it. He was doing it again. I screamed and Saline dismissed the fire-cuffs and called wind to bring him and Kathleen back to us.
Once they were here Saline looked at me and then at TJ, and said "You will no longer attend this house. You will be placed poles apart from this house, once I talk to Nyx. Now I will be reclaiming your ability to make a mess and clutter peoples' emotions and such. You may be left with mind reading but it shall do no good. Good day." She said now turning to Kathleen. "I expected so much more from you. And how could you if you knew it would hurt Missy here so much," she said gesturing to me. "You are one heartless bitch! In addition, you may not share a room or even dorm building with Skylar. You will be in a single stock room in building one. Good day." Saline said all of this so professionally and strongly it made me feel weak, and powerless. Nevertheless, they did deserve it, and they had what was coming. No one messes with me, the awesomest, hottest, fledgling here next to the high, reincarnate, goddess, and my best friend, Saline.
When Luna laughed, it pushed me out of my conceited head in back to reality. 'Okay!' she said sarcastically in her head. 'Let's go.'
'Where are we going?' I thought.
'Out.' She snickered in her mind, b/c this was where that traitor, Kathleen, had said we were going, just before I had my heart torn, and body- practically burned. Then she added 'You have to meet somebody.' She laughed I her mind, slyly.
'Okay. But please do NOT let me do anything stupid, like fall for anyone, get wasted, or humiliate myself. Please?' I thought. Luna nodded and we left.
