Micheal I was near Ben's apartment complex. She had warped me in behind a dumpster in an alleyway. I was surprised she didn't warp me into the dumpster. I shook myself off and started walking towards his apartment. I got a few side looks as I exited the alleyway. I realized my face had appeared on the broadcast and I needed to hide my face some. I pulled my shades from my pocket and put them on, letting my hair fall towards my face. I got to his complex and buzzed his apartment. Thankfully he was home and buzzed me in quickly. He lived in a nice part of town. He had a decent amount of money as a computer programer. His apartment was large and clean. It was pretty minimalistic, a few plants in the corner and mainly all white furniture. He greeted me with a smile. "What are you doing here man?" He said. His bald head was reflecting the light so well it was almost blinding. His dark brown eyes were studying me. He was being cautious which had me on edge. He wasn't usually so cautious.
AstridI slammed the door behind me. What was that? What the hell is wrong with me? That was Micheal! Micheal! Why did I do that?I feel so sick to my stomach. How could I do that to Lucas? I knew I needed to heal him but that was more than just the kiss of life. That was more and I know it. It shouldn't have been, it wasn't supposed to be more. I slapped my head trying to get the memory of Micheal's kiss from my head. What is wrong with me? Lucas and I are happy. He's my husband, he's my everything. He's the one that keeps me together. Micheal always brought out this stupid dangerous side of myself and I don't like it. This isn't me. Seeing him like that though. Hearing his screens of pain. I shook my head again. I can't. He could have died and it would have been my fault. I let him take the risk. I sent him away before I knew he was ready because I couldn't deal with what he said. I couldn't deal with the thought of his vision being true. After that damn kiss, I've probably put th
AstridWe all met downstairs. All our eyes on the silver and blue collar on the table. Libby had replicated as best she could. We can't know for sure if it's the same but she did well. The closer I got to the collar the weaker my abilities felt. "Anyone want to wear it?" Shawn joked, trying to ease the tension.We were all thinking. How bold the humans had gotten. How they were able to weaken us. How they were able to get away with putting us all in a camp and degrade us all by having us wear collars. Like we are dogs, their property. Not human beings at all. The anger stuck in my throat, burning hot. " The collar is obviously a problem. They do seem to dampen our abilities the closer we get. I wouldn't say it's enough to cause major problems for us but we aren't sure if we will be able to get them off of everyone. Tracking will have to be kept off until we are able to take the collars off." I started."Can we k
Lucas I knew last night's failures were still very present in Astrid's mind. She never let things go. She was probably thinking up a way to train everyone better, some way to make us all stronger. We were still trying to figure out why that camp had negators. Why it had been more important than the rest. We figure it has to deal with someone they have in the camps. Someone they might find a threat. We weren't sure who that could be though. Astrid and I made the base in Canada rather quickly. We were pretty drained after so we decided to head to our room. Micheal managed to find his way over to her before I could, helping her get up off the floor. I was a little hurt that she let him, but she quickly came to me once she was up. I know that I should be able to trust Astrid, and I understand what happened, but having Micheal around made it harder. I also know that Micheal took advantage of her, even if Astrid doesn't think so. Since she told me what happened we haven't had a chance
MichealI was pretty upset to see Astrid run back to Lucas so fast after what happened between us. I told her I wouldn't tell because I knew if Lucas knew what had happened I would never get a moment with her again. I was right too, since she told him I haven't been able to be alone with her. I knew I needed to put these feelings for Astrid aside for now. Last night I hesitated going to Lucas. Not because it was a risky move but because I knew that without him Astrid would be all mine. I shuddered at the memory of my mental betrayal. Lucas wasn't a bad guy, he just doesn't deserve Astrid in my mind. However, that didn't mean he deserved death. I hated feeling this way. I always end up feeling agitated all day, because I don't want to hurt Lucas. I just also don't want him to have my Astrid. I have been needing to fight a lot more here lately to release this agitation and anger. I have been hitting the simulation a lot these past couple days. Astrid and Lucas had actually gotten a b
I must have fallen asleep as a knock at my door awoke me to a dark room. I got up, and made my way to the door as I rubbed my eyes awake. I cracked my door not really wanting anyone to come in. It was Astrid, she was staring up at me curiously. I looked around and saw that she was alone. She was alone, at my door, at night. Something snapped in me then and I grabbed her wrist and quickly pulled her into my room. Before she could say anything or deny me I pressed my lips against hers. I wanted her desperately and I continued the kiss, parting her lips with my tongue. She didn't pull away, she didn't resist. She placed her hands on the back of my head pushing me into her more. She grabbed fistfuls of my hair as we continued to kiss. She pressed her chest against mine and I lifted one of her legs around my waist as I held onto her thigh. She sucked on my lower lip making me let out a soft moan. Our desires were feeding into each other. I slipped my hand up her shirt, gently squeezing
AstridI opened the door to Micheal's room to find Lucas right against it. He had been picking at his fingers with anxiety. I felt bad for having been in a locked room with Micheal for so long. What was really eating at me was that those visions were my fault in a way. "What happened?" Lucas asked as he got up. I walked him towards our room before answering. Hoping Micheal wouldn't hear me. "He had another vision" before I could finish telling Lucas everything, he had turned around running towards Micheals room. My heart almost raced out of my chest as I ran after him. I knew what was about to happen and I wanted desperately to stop it. I knew Micheal was in no state of mind to fight Lucas or to hear any cruel words. I also knew Lucas was in no state to hear the things that Micheal might share with him. I understood why Lucas was mad but I also understood why Micheal was so sad. I was finding it harder and harder to pick a side and stay with it. I could empathize with both my husba
After a few hours my eyes couldn't shed any more tears. I reached out to Lana instead. "Did Lucas make his way to you?" I asked her. "Yeah he's here. He arrived late last night. He's been pretty depressed. What happened?" Her tone was full of concern but also some curiosity. "He asked me to pick between him and Micheal and for some reason my body refused to" I knew I could be honest with Lana. She was the closest thing to a sister to me. I also knew she wouldn't judge me. "I am sorry Astrid" She sounded sad for me. "I am here for you and him. Want me to drive him crazy so he just races home to you?" She joked. "Wouldn't that be nice" I smirked slightly, a pain in my chest resurfacing. "Just keep an eye on him for me please?" "Of course, don't worry. I've got him covered over here. Oh one more piece of news. Liz and Jason have started a little relationship. It's very cute. I'll try to keep Lucas away from it. I am sure he doesn't need a budding romance in front of him while he's
