Chapter 6 - Brody

There were more votes for Brody than Ever and Nan, so here we go! I'll throw in some Ever and Nan later - probably Ever first to show what it's like in the cape - but for now, here's Brody's perspective, guys!

Also, I apologize for these shorter chapters! I'll be back to regularly posting longer ones soon, I promise.

I sit back down in the library, frowning hard. That did not go at all as planned.

When I'd gone out there, I'd had one plan. A simple one, perhaps a stupid one once I thought about it, but still a plan. And not an ounce of it went right.

Every girl that I wanted to like me always did. There was something about myself that drew them to me, like a magnet magnetizing coins or paperclips. Horrible analogy, yes. But it get's the point across.

Ever since I fell off the catwalk, I'd been doing that to Mina. Sometimes, I didn't even know why. But, what I did know was that Mina wasn't responding to my probes anymore.

Had I lost my touch? Was I unable to do it? I didn't understand how I did it in the first place. But if I wanted something, I got it. Period. Sometimes it was a struggle to make it work. But I always had people doing as I silently wished.

This time was different though. This time, what I always didn't work. It bounced right back as if deflected by a shield or something. Her mind was defending itself from whatever weird mind trick I can do.

I glance at Nan. I should test it on her. If I had really lost my touch, I wouldn't be able to do anything. But if it were something going on with Mina, I would be able to

Drop your book, and then fall from your chair as you bend down to get it. That's what I decide to do. Nothing drastic.

It was sudden. There was a loud thud as the large, heavy book Nan was reading fell from her hands to the ground. She bends down to the ground to retrieve it, only to go flailing from her chair, hitting her head on her book.

I feel a little bad. That was mean. Teague, Dark Mina, and the Fae plane nust be getting to me. I should've been nicer.

But, I was right. Something is causing Mina to deflect my tries at changing her mind, like I always did before. Except for when Jared was alive...My heart stops cold. Jared. He is Teague. Well, a part of him anyways.

Was he somehow protecting her brain? It horrified me to think of it. Was Mina actually falling forthat monster?

What are you guys thinking it means? Brody can influence other's thoughts and emotions? I wonder who that sounds like from Forever...Hehe, that was a hint, in case you weren't sure. Any guesses now on who this mysterious Fae is and what they are?

Now we just need three reviews!
