that blocked you out. Xavier was there
and the dead Seer, so it could’ve been either of them.” I didn’t like the
thought of him being unable to come in and pull me back from the insanity. It
scared the pants off of me. Not that I was wearing pants at the moment. Where
were my pants?
    “What do you mean the dead Seer was
there? Which one? What did Xavier say? Is he still alive? Did you find out what
is happening?” He bombarded me with questions one after another. My tired brain
tried to keep up but failed miserably.
    “Whoa, guy. Slow down. I need a
second to catch up. The Seer from the file, I think her name was Ren. She was
not very nice either. I guess if I had my eyes cut out I wouldn’t be in the
best of moods. But really, it is not like I did that to her. She kept insulting
my intelligence,” I said, glancing up to find Kennan growing impatient. Right,
back on task. “Xavier was there at the end. I’m not sure if it is really him or
not. Whatever he is now, Ren was frightened of him. She told me about being
paralyzed when the runes were carved and that some foggy woman was responsible.
She foresaw her death, Kennan, but knew she couldn’t do anything to stop it.
How sucky is that?” I sat up, tucking the sheet around my body. It was sort of
the same thing as putting clothes on. Who had time to find pants?
    “So, the person responsible is a
woman. There is a very real chance she is the same woman from your vision
yesterday.” He started pacing the room as he mulled over the new clues.
    “It feels like such a long time
ago. It is hard for me to believe that it was only yesterday the world tilted
again.” I threw myself back on the pillows dramatically. Life just kept getting
better and better. It seemed my dreams were now to be infested by a snarky,
restless spirit. I would solve this just to get rid of her. She was not nice.
    I was surprised by the door
suddenly flying open. A tear stained Molly sprinted straight for me.

    CHAPTER SEVEN
     
     
    “What the….” Kennan twirled to
protect me from the unknown menace.
    Molly looked at him for a moment
before moving to sit on the bed with me. Her face was drawn in misery.
    I looked up at Kennan and nodded
toward the door. I figured he could guard me just as well on the other side. I
didn’t expect any wall-scaling ninjas to launch a full-scale attack this early
in the morning. I suspected even God knew I couldn’t handle much more today.
    “What is it Molly? What happened?”
I wondered if her dreams were also being haunted by Ren. If that snarky spook
had hurt Molly I was going to punch her sightless face next time I was in the
dreaming. I ran my hand down Molly’s back trying to comfort her. I should
really try and put some clothes on. If I was going to keep having visitors at
night, I would need to start going to bed fully dressed. Maybe with multiple
layers.
    “I saw her,” Molly said through her
sniffles.
    “Who did you see Molly?” I wondered
if she had started having visions again. Since we left the lab and she quit
getting injections they had sort of died off. Now, as she approached her
birthday, they seemed to be resurfacing.
    “I haven’t been in the dreaming for
so long. I thought at first it was just a normal dream. But then, there she
was, talking to me as if everything was fine. Like she hadn’t disappeared on me
and left me to fend for myself.”
    Ah, so she had seen her mother. I
was struck by the realization that her tears weren’t because she was sad. Molly
was pissed.
    “What did she say?” I asked. I was
curious how any mother could just leave her child to fend for themselves.
Especially Molly’s mom, who had done so much to protect her while they were at
the lab. I remembered that first exam and how sweet her mother had been. Yet
she also threw me to the wolves. I didn’t blame her, but she hadn’t earned my
undying loyalty either.
    “She talked to me like everything
was fine. She said that she had
