Sorry for the lack of updates this October. I took part in a haunted house, it was most amazing and so, so much fun! You deserve a chapter, or more. I'll try and put out more next month, but November is NANOWRIMO and I'll have other things that I'm writing. But I'm good and writing when motivated. Give me much motivation my good readers!

Shout outs!

Dontgotaclue88: I miss Naomi when I'm not writing her too. She's always on my mind wanting for her story to continue. I've got lots of what's gonna happen later in the story but I really have to get there first. Thanks for the review!

CSIGetteblue: More added.

Chapter 56

I don't like him. Emily stated, Prod's been down here everyday since he's arrived. Storm keeps saying that he thinks that he can help me, but it just feels... There was a pause that Naomi could of assumed where the girl would of shuddered. Slimy when he tries to get into my mind.

Naomi listened intently to her friend relate everything that had been happening in the few weeks she'd been gone. Most of the student population had started getting ready to leave for summer break but a good number of them would be staying here and continuing classes along with a few extra things that the teachers would assign. "You're just paranoid, Emily. He's a decent person."

Slimy. Was all Emily replied. The doors to the room opened and Hank walked in.

"I asked for you to come see me first." he scolded, "I'll let it pass this once, but for now we need to go. Nice to see you doing well Emily."

There's no change, how can I be doing well if I still can't pee like normal people? The telepath confided in Naomi, making her laugh.

The two of them left and headed into one of the classrooms. "You have quite a few options this summer Naomi, you can go stay at home with your family, you could stay here and continue learning, or you could run away and join the circus." The last he said with a glimmer of humor in his eye making Naomi smile. "Just in case you would like to stay we've got a schedule set up for you." He fished it out of his pocket.

"You practice that little speech in the mirror don't you." Naomi replied while taking the notecard. Hank chuckled. She looked over the schedule and blinked repeatedly, "None of this is school. Training, group training, oh this looks like school; mechanics, more training. What's with this driving and flight class?" She handed him the card back, "I can't fly."

Hank smiled ironically.

"You get to learn how to fly the jet." Rune said for the seventh time since she'd found him. "I can't believe this, only Storm ever flies the jet."

Naomi shrugged, "I guess Uncle Hank wants me to learn cause he built the thing. He wouldn't show me the jet, only a model of it."

"Man, I'd give my left arm to fly the jet." Hart stated dreamily. "But first," he snapped back from his daydream, "you need to drive a car."

She was looking at the schedule again. "I'm still not sure if I'm gonna stay this summer though."

"Why? Rael's planning to stay if you do, he's dying to keep training you." This made Naomi roll her eyes, "Hey, he may be your brother but he's also one of your trainers, and he's not allowed to play rough with you outside the school." Rune continued, "I'd beat the living kidneys out of him."

She laughed and leaned over onto him shoulder, Rune then wrapped an arm around her, "I'll think about it."

"Besides." He kissed her hair softly, "I'd miss you if you didn't stay."

Hart rolled his eyes and stood, "Too much love aura in the air here, I'll see you both later." He made his way into the house.

Rune watched his progress until the door closed. "If that was all it took I would of laid on the charm earlier." Naomi laughed while Rune pulled her closer and wrapped both arms around her, "Are you sure you won't stay?"

"Well," She looked up at him, "It would break Cat's little heart if I didn't give her the chance to throw me that party she's been trying to keep quiet." She grinned when Rune gave a look of shock. "I have ears everywhere, and Cat's not very observant when she's telling people about it."

He sighed, "You better act surprised when you come in."

"Of course, I've never had a party before." She had had butterflies skipping in her stomach since she'd heard the little shapeshifter talking to Ivy and Siren about this party. "But it's not my birthday, at least not yet anyways."

Rune smiled, "I think its more to make up for all the birthdays that you didn't get to celebrate, that was what Cat said anyways. Your uncle's trying to pin down the exact date back tracking all the summer solstices. He said they mostly fall in June though." He gave her a soft kiss. "You stay here, I'll go see how everyone's doing on the decorations." He left her sitting on the back stairs.

Naomi smiled and leaned back on the stairs and just stared at the light reflecting off the water. She kept watching until she noticed the shadows were reacting to her attention. Standing and tilting her head to the side she walked toward them. The shadows were raising off the bottom of the pool forming into almost a fountain the water kept falling out of. Each piece was like a dish holding the water and letting it drizzle back down into the pool. But the part that was disturbing was she hadn't been trying to make anything.

She quickly forced them to disperse.

"Aww come on, it was looking a mite fancy if you ask me." She spun to find Prod leaning on the glass frame. "Did ya know, your mental defenses fall when you're around that young gravity buff?" He smirked and went back in the house.

Naomi shivered, and quickly turned away, maybe there was some truth in what Emily said. There was something a little disturbing about that telepath. She looked down and realized she was standing on the edge of the pool, she quickly spun and went back to the steps, she doubled up her mental protection hoping that he was gone from her mind. She stayed there looking at the ground until Rune came and brought her in.
