"Why are you crying Lu? Shouldn't I be the one freaking out, not you?" Ricky asked with concern on his face but obviously trying to lighten the situation, very unsuccessfully.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C38q5agNh
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn2ZiPABGK
I tried sniffing up the last of the tears and put on a brave face, also very unsuccessfully. "I think you need to sit down for this one."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K0kwhV1OM
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHV23FhwM4
Reluctantly he finally sat down and I began to explain all the pieces of information I had gathered since Mattie's death. "It started last night when I got home and crashed. The weirdest dream ever, there was this old guy and this amazing library an-"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Udi24dwZT
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNdTrYRfGP
"You really like libraries." Ricky smirked, obviously a little more relaxed that he was getting some explanation.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDZX3FvGry
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fun78NYoy
"Yes I do, but shh, that's not the point. So this annoying old guy-"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnHyF6GQw
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9DZsGSklY
"Why is he annoying?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo2rMJeEtB
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp8QWh7U0K
I just frowned to keep my irritation in place with being interrupted all the time. "Don't worry you'll get to meet him."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mp2ebnviU
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFfYM4auIr
His shoulders slumped and he gave me a pout. "You know I don't like old people... They talk too much."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiINUtY2aA
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPFUUXwvGn
"Yeah well they're not the only ones. Shh I want to finish my story please, if you don't mind." 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtr8I47Cgk
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iKuHRoAOf
He sat up straight again and gave me his full attention. "So this old guy, Esperar, makes me the leader of the group I mentioned earlier of Quinto círculo. Honestly it sounds more like a cult than anything else, but yeah, he gave me the book you saw earlier. I also didn't know how to open it and it kept disappearing and reappearing when ever it felt like it. Today I left you guys at lunch so suddenly 'cos Markus wanted to talk to me an-"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFKf5Xp1n6
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sUbELH57Q
"Oh my God! Like THE Markus? Markus o'Conner?" Ricky suddenly turning into a fan girl before my eyes.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYZcQceYG
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtsGXGTZxu
"Yes. Tall, dark and handsome wanted to talk to me. Interrupt me again and I swear I'm going to punch you." 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0CAM7Qeu0
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1JnySlhyx
Ricky acted all offended but there was a hint of a smile on his face. "So anyway! He was totally hitting on me." I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoYIMo8KW9
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJarUSVgEs
"Shut up!" Ricky obviously enjoying the gossip and trying to be funny with his antics.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x35XvuxEb
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgZJRmejMD
"Although before you go crazy, I'm still not sure if he was just messing with me or not. And when I started snapping out of the whole "OMG Markus is talking to me' I started storming off."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEKQXBLSQe
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotnGP4qCbT
"Why so defensive Lu? Maybe he really digs you."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn3ikD7zry
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T8yojALHL
"He was with Mattie the night she died, that's why I was so defensive." I blurted with an expressionless face.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYFvF04sm9
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67DZAhGnB
Ricky just gaped at me waiting for me to continue. When I didn't he did. "What? How? Why? How is he so sure?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL0r2BMGhC
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJdcqRMxa
"Long story short she wasn't supposed to die, I was." I felt my skin prickle as I said those words myself. repeating them in my head didn't help it all. I was supposed to have been killed, not Mattie.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WK8uksGUm
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE7FZZPiXg
This was obviously starting to get too much for Ricky. His eyes welled up and the tears threatened to spill over. "Lucy... If that was you..."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA8elwg7HE
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUvKqQWDc
I tried to reassure him with a smile. "But I didn't Ricks, It's going to be fine." Even I didn't believe that last part. When I saw that Ricky was still about to burst into tears, I just pulled him into a hug.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TXd3LKnZl
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxIAFZUTFJ
That seemed to have done the trick. "Okay." He took a deep breath. "Please continue." And he sat back down to listen to the next bit of my horror story.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuewlhpRxvb
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098td4F0Eh
"So." Trying to get my bearings straight was proving to be quite a challenge. "As I was storming away he tried grabbing my hand to pull me back, and just like you and I earlier, ZAP, and I got a pattern too." Lifting my hand to show Ricky my decorated palm.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB240FOvJOh
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTl9Cak1eD
"Woah! That's so cool!" Ricky had gone from totally depressed to childlike wonder in under a minute.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DLwN6A0qW
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBRr7X8kal
"It is, isn't it." I replied, matching his smile. "So Markus got the idea that it would unlock our books an-"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0yjgJqiiF
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xrk0CzEjM
"Okay wait, now that I heard that properly. Markus is part of this too?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0cAYqqAEz
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVj0ifHsvb
"If you weren't in shock I would seriously hit you right now." I said while giving him the death stare, but he just egging on the topic.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFC7vhUTp6
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoPNppPsQV
"What's his picture? What's the topic of his book?" He went quiet suddenly, obviously in deep thought. "What's your topic?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpJbyes9jV
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB5RKxZnsf
"Markus has a purple eye, almost Egyptian in design, and it's charm, glamour and deception. Mine is-"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSnKh28F2s
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqlCgpZJW2
Ricky started laughing uncontrollably. "That's so feminine, bet he's taking it rough."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCvFVVsT9b
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg1mebOLbW
I smacked him on the arm and he gave a small yelp. "Hey! What was that for?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYipPtDei
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYE5LHLEiT
"I warned you about interrupting me."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbtBvudyLo
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsYvsePGhg
"Oops, sorry!" He said with a sweet smile and a totally fake innocent look.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQBW1b1m5N
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ280NqKzTjA
"So as I was trying to say. Mine is power and control. and to answer you on your interruption, he actually likes it. Not that I'm surprised, he does love the spotlight."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN7cjEZ46X
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6FcFBGZwL
"And you love him" Ricky added with under his breath and a smirk on his face.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQcuQEOlwZ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAs8VVinbK
"Eugh, you're so annoying." And smacked him again. 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDwouJIQP6
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XEhy5IRQ
"So mine is empathy and telepathy, what kind of specialty is that?" He asked while retrieving our bowls of almost melted ice cream and passing mine over. 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CllpU1v3v
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkupPgd1flR
"That's where you actually have to read Ricky." I said with a snort, slurping at the semi liquid in my bowl.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Atibex39
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAuueEiYA0
"Gross much?" Ricky pretending to be grossed out.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcGOkv377d
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFv7Cih5Xe
"Shut up, you were going to do it too."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdsHkc09IQ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwjQKYsYcP
"So true." He said with a grin and matched my slurping. We burst into laughter, enjoying the effect we had on each other to make a situation better or at least bearable.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHJiQB5jGn
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6QuKcuE8g
"So how about skimming through it and let's see what you can do." I prompted, trying to distract from me trying my abilities.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDpTyRIwa1
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ96qleUx9q
"Okay just give me a sec." While he read I slurped down my ice cream and began licking out the bowl. It's not attractive, but it's criminal to leave behind any evidence of the chocolate goodness.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrvEcCM18Y
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYbfDmMhXK
As I was about to try steal Ricky's bowl and eat his remaining ice cream he looked up at me with a weird expression on his face. Before I could ask him what he was thinking a sudden wave of hysteria washed over me. I was frozen in place by fear, but fear of what I couldn't tell. Before I could start screaming a wave of calm came over me, almost as if I was high in a way, feeling the hysteria float away on a cloud of happy thoughts.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n9CUhOGqK
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c3nw3aZGB
And then I was back to normal. "Woah. That was quite a trip. What just happened?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUofrBTYmaC
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QSiTjKYDd
Ricky took his time finding the right words. "What did you just experience?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6btzw6bDeN
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6iwSDBQhe
"I just started freaking out for no reason, and then I felt like a hippie. Just mellow." 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Kbq7JCpu
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0WNMGpCM
Ricky sat back with astonishment on his face. "What? What what what?" I nagged trying to get something out of him.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS11HHN5O8
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NFF8DFUvF
"I made you feel that." He said more as a statement and less like a question.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJtbMmWTZ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hHoNawMIt
"How?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRxkNRdNN
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsB2uLHFj
"I don't know I just..." It looked like he was trying to convince himself of what he had just done. "Thought it."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf1LgI1FIG
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDVYb3AXYH
I just stared at him, dumbfounded. "You just... thought it?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzADIHaRuQV
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzinmez4qb
"Yeah, I pictured you fearing for your life, and then I saw you freaking out and I wanted you to calm down immediately. So I imagined what you would be like if you were on a trip."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDrZJbrnI
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmKtAPiMJH
"You made me high? Do you realise how wrong that sounds?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0dxd6Ikh0
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9GNxExkl
Ricky started laughing and I couldn't help but join in on the giggles. "So now I know what they mean by the empathy part of this... Skill of mine. Now let's try out the telepathy. Think of something." And he closed his eyes.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMao4wYfh
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCacSi5xGSn
Something. I did a little mental laugh, but before I could say anything Ricky perked up. "No, don't be a smart ass, think of something else."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpIw3sjd8Y
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSa7Tzvy4
"Ricky I didn't say anything." Ricky looked up at me with wide eyes.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBdVyHjqu1
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooIUH8p2W0
Can you hear this? Ricky nodded.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zhfxxZi1
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJipIFclVG
What about this? Ricky nodded again, this time with a smile.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXtnZr2iO
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbShp2zNt8N
And this? Ricky just gave me a look. "Okay you can stop now."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmt81tol3p
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nNoUQjOth
But this is so much fun! I thought with a huge smile on my face.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5L1D0SqhQ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRcPfJ6iZ
Can you imagine what I'm feeling?1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpoNXRMtzc
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYsZwe3c7S
I could practically feel my jaw hit the ground. "Did you just send a mental message to me?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxI8cnbAHA
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnRDs7l1Cb
"I think I did." Ricky seeming amused with his new abilities.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdwjYR6cjI
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlyVWsPodS
"This is too cool. I wonder what the other's abilities will be." I couldn't contain my curiosity.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00xGXdHlV2
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7DSsnPYxS
"Other's? I thought there was only Markus apart from us." 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpcW56Zhbq
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Wxlr9gIM
"Circle of five. There are only three of us at the moment." I said suddenly sifting mentally through a list of people that I could think of being part of all this madness.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9omT7tuzc
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuiJflvOxb
"How do you know how to find them?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7I848kTR5
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQnvhOjf5L
I pushed him out the way to get to his computer and searched the site I found the information on Peligro. As Ricky read his face went solemn. "I can see why you started crying earlier." And finished off the reading. "So it says people close to you, people you have made a bond with from early in life and are the same age as you." 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQWpqI6eth
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTUavAs2V
He went into deep thought, stroking at an imaginary beard subconsciously. "You do you realise you have no beard, right ?" I mumbled with slight amusement. "Hmm?" Came his reply, obviously to fixated on his own thoughts to have heard me. "Nothing, don't worry." I said with a smirk.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRI25r8Jot
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVUyQpxVC9
"Ariana, Joey, James." Now it was my turn to look confused. "What?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPjtBYvNx
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ixbunb81q
"That's your only other friends you have." Ricky still stroking his chin, gradually accompanied by a creeping smile. "Not much of a socialite, are we?" I just glared at him and his hands shot up in mock surrender as he burst into laughter.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrTUS8MyY7
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ohT0OAMbQ
"Okay Ricky, you can stop now, it's time to get serious." I said gruffly to get the conversation on the right track again. Ricky tried to compose himself, sneaky tears still running down his cheek and his body shaking slightly but at least he was tryig to stay quiet. "So between the three of them, two are my next.... victims." I said the word like it left a bitter after taste. "For lack of a better word." I quickly added as he gave me a funny look at my comment. "So who do you think they are?" Trying to avert the responsibility for a moment. "Only you will know this one Lu." He said with a reassuring smile. 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTnuDqf97z
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxu9dXZyIU
I took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and let it out in one big sigh, allowing the responsibility to encompass me once again. "As much as it pains me, Ariana must be a definite candidate, she's like the sister I always wanted, she's the closest person to me." Ricky sending a throat clearing noise in my direction. "After you of course." I said with a grin, a scoff in reply from him. "But that's where I get stuck... Joey irritates me to no extent possible and James is just there. Actually come to think of it, he's just there because Ariana has had a crush on him since way back when. He's never really been a friend as per say."1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmlPq5W61a
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwVuxGQvU
Ricky started fidgeting in his seat and I knew something was bothering him. "Spill it." I said in a stern, but lovingly way. 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPNDDaipM
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6U4WhDxHc
He pulled out his phone and started messaging someone. "Mind letting me in on the secret Sherlock?" Ricky kept quiet until he was finished, putting his phone away and looking up at me at the same time. "Just trust me on this one, okay?"1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6lV0vtTNo
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqMo5vlkoG
I could feel it, like a thick blanket of tension in the room, almost suffocating. I wasn't sure if it was my emotions or the emotions Ricky were feeling that was being projected, but I felt like now wasn't the right time to ask questions.1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgCD7qFoa
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaXgQacgSZ
"Okay." I said, trying to keep eye contact with him to try read the situation further. "How long until they get here?" 1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eOwbkAyuO
