After all the preparation it is time. Jayden's grandmother came through. She was able to give us VIP access. I was given all the questions that needed to be asked. My plan is to have several reporters want to ask the same question. If one does get called on and ask then they will go to the next question. The whole place is packed. The more I used my power the worse the pain got. I also noticed that a lot of the reporters already had their memories altered. Things started to say as I turned to Jayden.
"Someone has altered their memories." I said, grabbing his arm to steady myself.
"Are you okay?" He asked if he held me up.
I nodded, too tired to speak. I have one more person to give questions to. There was a laugh behind us.
"What do we have here?" A voice I knew all too well asked
We turned to see Lexie standing there. She had her arms cross looking all smug. Her magic drifted out from her. It wrapped itself around all the people that I used mine on. I felt my magic snapping as hers undid it. She smiled like she had won. Something snapped in me.
The air vibrated as power coursed through me. The world takes on a golden hue. Jayden called my name but I did not listen. It is about time I take care of this once and for all.
Lexie backed away saying " We can work through this."
" Work through this?" I asked " Where was this when I was being experimented on? Where was this when you tried to kill us."
She fell as she backed away. Tears streamed down her face as she said " I was tricked just like you."
My blue weave wrapped around her. Her light blue weave fought against mine. Arms wrapped around me. Jayden said something in my ear but I could not understand what he was saying. Lexie looked scared for the first time.
Camras turned to us as my powers continued to go wild. I heard Victor on the stage saying something about how I was a rebel that the government is trying to stop.
I turned to face him and asked " You are only labeling me as a villain because I no longer fit into your plans."
With that said I turned and stormed off. I had to get my powers under control. My hands were shaking as I made my way through the alleyways. I ended up back at dinner. The start of this whole nightmare. If I had not stopped here to get dinner that one night all of this would not be happening. I slid into the familiar bench. Slowly my magic was thinning out. I started at the golden strands. I could feel someone off in the distance making their way towards me. I could feel almost everything about them. I did not know who it was but for some reason they felt safe.
Amanda walked over and asked" Usual?"
I shook my head and said " I actually want to change things up. Pick me out something good."
She nodded and walked away. My magic finally was under control. Jayden slipped into the seat in front of me.
" What was that?" He asked
I did not answer, I just stared out the window until my food got to me. He stared at me while I ate.
"We are going to have to talk about this." He said
" What am I supposed to tell you? I lost control. That is it," I snaped
" We can't have that. Is it something that we are going to have to worry about?" He asked
I started back out the window because I could not answer that. Even when I was experimented on I had full control over my weave. This time, I just let it run wild.
He laid some cash on the table and said " Come on. We are leaving town for a little bit. We caused quite a commotion today."
I nodded and followed him out. We drove in silence. The air was filled with tension. I don't know what to say. The only person I really told anything to was Katie and now she is not here. I told myself that I wanted to do this for her, but after what just happened I don't know. We drove for several hours. When it was time to stop we could not find a hotel that had any rooms available. We finally found a hotel with a single room. We took it since it was the only thing that we could find.
" I will take the couch." Jayden said when we walked in.
I am too tired to argue with him. I laid on the bed and said " You take the first shower."
I laid on the bed staring up at the ceiling when I heard a voice. It was Katie telling me to come to her. I silently got up and headed to the door. The door opened not to the outside but to the room where they first started to experiment on me.
"Is this what you had to go through?" Jayden asked
I looked around but I could not find him. "Where are you?"
" I laid down on the couch the next thing I knew I was in your memory." He said materializing next to me.
We watched a young version of me being dragged into the room when I was five years old. I remember this quite clearly. I was told it was a reward for doing good on a test. As my mother injected the younger version of me with something. I felt the pain. Jayden must have also felt the pain because he doubled over in pain.
" What is that?" He gasped
"That is the start of life long suffering." I said quietly as another round of pain shot through.
When it finally stopped he asked " How are you able to handle that?"
"I developed a high pain tolerance." I said watching my younger self being tried on a chair. " There are still a lot of times where it gets too much. I feel pain every time that I use my magic."
He just stood there watching. We watched as my past played out. There were times that I was not able to handle the pain but for the most part I was able to hold it in. Jayden on the other hand passed out several times. We finally got to my eighteenth birthday the day that I thought I made my great escape.
I jolted awake with tears streaming down my face. Jayden sat up on the couch looking pale.
" What happened after that?" He asked
" I was caught by a group that called them The Organization. They told me that my parents had worked with them a long time ago. They said that my parents cost them millions of dollars. I was to either work for them to pay them back or die. I chose to work for them." I replied quietly.
" What did they have you do?" He asked
" I stole from them. But the necklace was not for them." I said
" Then why?"
" Because the only person that actually helped me needed the money."
I went on to explain how me and Katie met. I told him about how her brother had cancer. There is only one treatment that would work.
"So you were the first man to make a Dreamweaver. That is why they wanted you so bad." He said
" What about you?" I asked
" What do you mean?"
" What is your life story? You got to see and feel how my life has gone so far. So tell me about yours. It can't be as bad as mine."
He chuckled and said " That is for sure. I don't really have much to say. My father is a corrupt detective. He puts innocent people away because they posed a threat to SeepCore.I did not find that out until I joined the resistance."
As he was talking he got up and started to make coffee.
" I was betrothed to Lexie as you know. The only reason I agreed to it was because he threatened my grandmother."
I sat and listened as he talked. While he was not as bad as mine he did have a lot of rough patches. I walked over and gave him a hug. The golden weave that I have been noticing wrapped around the two of us. Without warning he leaned down and kissed me. The kiss stirred something in me.
I pulled away and said " I have never done anything."
He smirked and said " Don't worry I will show you what to do."
He moved me to straddle him on the couch. As we kissed his hand traveled across my back. He unclipped my bra with one hand. We broke the kiss just long enough to get my shirt off. He lifted us off the couch and headed for the bed. I watched as he pulled his shirt off. He is covered in tattoos. He was stunning. A fire burned in my belly as I watched him take off his pants. He leaned over me and started kissing me. He moved from my mouth down to my neck. He then put my nipple in his mouth. He twirled his tongue around it while sucking. My back arched. My body grew hot. He looked up at me and asked " Want to have some fun."
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. He took my shirt and wrapped it around my mouth. He then took his shirt and wrapped it around my eyes. The sensation was heightened.
