the powers

Alana had become so much more powerful over these last few weeks.

When she first found out that she'd had the power, it was fun. A little trick for her and her alone. But soon her telepathy had scared everyone off. Who would want a best friend that could see what you were thinking all the time?

No one, that's who.

They didn't know, strictly speaking, that she was telepathic, but something about her was just off. She knew things, they whispered. Could read you like a book.

Some had even compared her to Sherlock Holmes.

But her skill was not deduction, it was an invasion. She invaded their minds, but by accident; when she figured it out, she had stopped.

She didn't want their worries and troubles and secrets on top of her own.

Well, mostly stopped. There had been a couple of accidents. Like that one with the brick wall and the two boys who had had to be hospitalized.

That one had even made the paper.

But her life had been relatively normal, until that night came, and the men in black, and the guns and screaming and dark cars, and the cell.

Her parents were dead. Obviously. Oliver was alive, and that was why she let herself be Moriarty's puppet. He was her responsibility, always had been.

She had to look out for him.

If he died, what would she do?

Through Moriarty's torture, her power had grown. Out of hate, or fear, or desperation, she didn't know. Things she had struggled with, before, came so easily.

She'd even managed to bust the brainwave scanner so that it always showed normal brain activity.

But Sherlock was coming. She knew that. If not for her sake, then for his revenge.

Revenge on her for hurting John, revenge on Moriarty for everything.

And once he got here, she wouldn't be safe anymore.

And neither would he.

A/N:

Hey guys! Sorry for the short chapter, but finals are happening… ugh.

I can't wait until vacation, then posts will come a lot quicker, I promise.

Stay tuned for more drama and a hell of a lot more telekinetic bashing!

(Her revenge is coming soon, and boy, is Moriarty gonna get it.)

Love you all!
