“You’re not looking for anybody. F’m trying to show you something I want to and think of a blank movie

screen,” I said, I grabbed Misha’s hand and tried

but finally he saw it.

“Whoa! That’s what people look like to you?” Misha asked Andrei.

“Not all the time, but yeah,” Andrei said.

it this will work. Don’t think about anything, if you can. Maybe try roject what Andrel could see into

Misha’s mind. It took me a second,

“Holy sh it, that’s awesome. Is everybody the same color?” Misha asked, complely enchanted by what

he was seeing.

“No, different people have different colors. I’m not sure what the colors meat, to be honest,” Andrei

said.

I let go of Andrei, then extended my hand to Ivan. “Squish, you’re next in my little experiment. Come

here.”

“I think I know where you’re going with this, princess,” he said as he took my band.

Misha looked at me, confused. “Now what am I supposed to do?”

“I need you to replay what you just saw for Ivan,” I said.

“I can do that?” Misha asked, completely surprised.

“We’re gonna find out,” I said, grinning at him. He started to replay what Andei saw in his head. I could

see it clearly right away, so I tried to push it to Ivan. I felt Ivan squeeze my hand, so I knew he was

seeing what I was seen. Once I felt like he had the video clip in his mind, I let go of Misha to see if I

could see what Ivan sees.

I saw the same short clip of the mayor, walking outside his house. His aura was visible, just like Andrei

had seen, only now, I could see the outline of something else hovering just behind him. Wherever the

mayor moved, it move with him.

I grinned at Ivan. “It worked,” I said. I looked back at Misha, asking, “want to see what Ivan sees?”

“Don’t ask st upid questions, gazelle,” he said as he took my hand. He was quiet for a minute, while he

watched. I could feel Misha’s nausea as he saw what Ivan saw. “Is that what it always looks like?” he

asked, still watching what I was projecting into his head.

“No, this one is actually faint. Some of them are really well-defined. This one doesn’t look firmly

attached, either. Like it’s moving with the mayor, but it’s also hovering away from him. Some people

have them literally sitting on them, or holding on to them,” Ivan said.

“Blink, Ivan,” Adrik thought. Ivan quickly shut his eyes. When he opened then again, he was normal.

“I can feel your nausea though, Misha,” I said.

Stephen stood up, walking to me. “Okay, I want to see. It might not work on in, but my curiosity is

overriding my aversion to having you in my head,”

he said.

“I want to see what Ivan sees, too,” Andrei said.

I grabbed both of their outstretched hands, trying to project the final picture to both of their heads.

“I’m reevaluating my entire existence now,” Stephen said. His eyes were wid he was watching what no

one else in the room could see.

Andrei was quiet for a moment as he looked. I had stopped projecting, thinking he was done, but he

said, “wait, no. Show me again.” Stephen dropped my hand, so Andrei grabbed that one too. When he

did, I could see what he was focusing on. It was difficult to see, unless you were looking for it, but

you could clearly see the demon focusing on the dark spots in the mayor’s aura. Because the mayor

was moving, it looked like the demon was just moving with him. But Andrei managed to slow it down so

I could actually see the demon was not only staying with the mayor, but was constantly trying to force

its way inside his auric field.

“How did you see that? I totally missed that, Bubba,” I said.

“I just remembered where the dark spots were. That’s gotta be how they get then,” Andrei said, taking a

step away to lean on the counter.

I caught Adrik’s eye. Since my little idea had worked, I was feeling co cky. Instead of needing to touch

him, I just pushed the images I’d just shown everyone else by touching them to him from across the

kitchen. He looked surprised initially, but just as intrigued as everyone else.

“Blink, Boss,” Ivan thought quickly.

“Well, now we know that seeing other demons is going to bring both of yours to the front. Did mine do

that too? Is this something you guys can eventually get a handle on?” I asked both of them, silently.

“I didn’t notice yours, princess, but I wasn’t paying attention. We’re going to have to keep an eye on it,”

Ivan replied..

“I couldn’t see your eyes when you saw it, so I don’t know either. For now, though we at least know that

seeing other demons makes ours get a little too excited,” Adrik thought.

“So. Many Dirty, Jokes.” I replied, trying not to laugh..

Viktor’s curiosity finally got the best of him. “Okay, somebody explain what you all just saw.”

“See if you can show him too, gazelle. I bet it’ll work. I’ll help if you need a boost,” Misha said.

I looked hesitantly at Misha, then looked at Viktor. “It’s up to you, Papa Bear, I know you don’t like me

in your head.”

“Only because I know you’re going to force me to deal with things I’ve been pitting off dealing with. This

is not that, so let’s try,” he said, walking to me. He very timidly took my hand. “What am I supposed to

do?” he asked.

“You don’t have to do anything. Just try to clear your mind. She’ll show you, Misha said. He took a step

closer to me, in case I needed a power boost

to let Viktor see.

I concentrated on pushing the short clip of the mayor to Viktor. Nothing happined for a few moments, so

I grabbed Misha’s hand. Once I did, suddenly Viktor’s eyes went wide. He was seeing what everyone

else had just sen.

Except that wasn’t the only thing that happened. Misha took over the movie. He fast forwarded until we

were no longer watching the mayor. Now, we were watching Viktor with someone I didn’t recognize. I

didn’t want to interrupt, so I didn’t ask for specifics. The guy was younger than Viktor and actually

looked vaguely similar to him. They were talking quietly, but it was difficult to hear the conversation.

The other man looked upset; he looked older than what he should have. He looked worn down, tired,

like he had been put through the ringer.

Viktor, in his calm, paternal way, put his hand on this man’s shoulder. It seemed like an innocent thing

to do, but when he did, we could clearly see the aura around the man become visible. The dark spots

were everywhere. It was dim. This man was struggling. Viktor took his hand off his shoulder, but

remained close to him. We watched as a white light came down from somewhere above them and

hovered above them both. Neither of them saw it in the movie, but it was visible to us watching it.

It stayed still, hovering above them both for a moment, then we watched Viktor open his palm upward,

toward the light. It landed in his palm. When it did, Viktor touched the man’s shoulder once more. This

time, his aura lit up. We watched as all the countless holes filled in. As his aura got brighter, he looked

stronger, younger, more vibrant..

Viktor took his hand off the man’s shoulder, once again turning his palm upward. He released the light

upward, all of us watching as it disappeared above them. The man in front of Viktor looked stunned for

a moment, but the he broke out in a huge smile. He grabbed Viktor, hugging him tightly. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

as the movie ended for us.

Misha looked down at me, somewhat confused. I looked at Viktor, who looked so stunned I wasn’t sure

he was going to be able to speak.

“Did you know that man?” I asked:

“That’s…that’s…my brother,” he said.
