Later that day, after combat training and some dinner, Daniel was acting weird. As soon as we entered my room, he pulled me into the bathroom.
I gasped. Sitting in his open hand was a destabiliser.
He smirked.
My heart hammered in my chest.
I knew he was right, but the thought of using it on ourselves made me nauseous.
He put a hand on my arm.
He smiled.
I was not comfortable with this.
I sighed.
He squared his shoulders.
I pressed the button and immediately felt on edge. I tried to use my Talent, but couldn’t. “Umm. There’s a flaw in your plan,” I told him. “It’s affecting both of us.”
“Oh, yeah. I forgot.”
I lifted my hand and looked at it. I felt like I was shaking all over, but it was steady.
The longer we were exposed, the worse I felt. I couldn’t move properly. “
