"You were?" Dae at his sides "When, exactly? Before or after you did so that puts you at risk?"

I flinched "I didn’t plan on this happening! All I wanted was to have a normal afternoon with a boy--"

"With a boy?" he spat, eyes flaring an intense green

"Yes, with a nor? I took a deep breath "I’ht, but Blake askedto eat with hi afternoon with soht his face would crack "You have friends who are noret what I wasn’t really saying For a second, his eyes widened and I’d swear there was a flicker of pain in the"

Guilt shot throughin deep "I think I did get alien cooties, because I’ve beenthem Today, I opened the door to Mr Garrison’s classroo it He seemed to think it was a drafty hallway"

"How often has this been happening?"

"On and off for around a week The first tiht it was a fluke, so I didn’t say anything Then I thought about wanting a glass of tea, and the glass flew out of the cabinet and the tea started pouring itself in the fridge The shower turned itself on, doors opened, and a couple of tihed "My room was a mess"

A snicker escaped "Nice"

My hands balled into fists "How can you think this is funny? Look at what happened today! I didn’t mean to stop the branch! I mean, I didn’t want it to hit hi The whole healing-uessed it yet, I couldn’t et a splitting headache and feel exhausted afterward What if I’?"

Dae on the ars touched His breath stirred my hair I shrank back as my heart rate picked up "Why do you have to hed "Sorry, Kitten For us,fast is natural It’s actually more effort to slon and appear ’noret I have to pretend around you"

A look crossed his face, like he wanted to laugh, and I could get why It did sound absurd "I don’t know if that’s possible"

"Moving stuff with hed "Why didn’t you tell me when this first happened?"

"I don’t know," I said, unable to look away "I should’ve I don’t want to put you guys at risk I swear I’ it on purpose"

"Never?" I whispered

"We don’t heal huht it had so our abilities, but now I’ if it’s e hu into an alien?"

"Kitten…"

All I could think about was theout of the dude’s stoht or so "Hoe stop this?"

My brows rose "Okay"

Closing his eyes, he let out a long breath His form flickered and faded A few seconds later, he was in his true forht He was shaped like a hue seeing hiot so to hts

In their true form, Luxen don’t speak out loud "Uh, hi?"

His chuckle tickled insidetoYou spoke to hts Would it happen again? Your light is really pretty, but it’s blinding host inhale We can still hear each other His light diain, solid, eyes troubled "Soyou, huh?"

"Yeah, it was" I fiddled with the chain aroundnow?" It usually happened when they went into their true fored, too "Why can I still hear you? You act like I shouldn’t"

"You shouldn’t, but we’re still connected"

"Well, hoe get unconnected?"

"That’s a good question" He stretched idly as his gaze roamed across the room "You have books everywhere, Kitten"
