Katie's POVI woke up to the tremor of the boat. Apparently it had hit the deck and broken a few pieces of wood work on the deck before it came to a stop.“My father is definitely going to ask questions…” Shedrack complained as we got down out and down from the boat one after the other. Jessica was strategically left for second to the last so that she was supported at the back and someone else helped her from the front. None of which was Ryan. Except for his little contribution to Roman's story, he had been exceptionally quiet throughout the ride. I had no idea where he hid till it was time to go on deck.“Well when you learn more about your father, I hope you will ask him questions too…” Stephen said as he helped Jessica down onto the deck. Everyone but Killian had the ‘what the fuck’ look on his face.“What did you say?” Shedrack asked, cocking his head to the side.“Hey! Doctor…you might want to get up now. I don't think any of these boys have any strength in them to carry your ass

Katie's POV “Fuck you, Roman.” I said, flipping my finger in his direction.“Sure love, sure. Have fun twisting his mind.” Killian rolled his eyes and rose to his feet, helping me up. Just a touch of hands and my chest felt more unstable than ever. I felt like people who could, could hear my heart beat loud and clear in the room.“Come on, let's go. Don't give into his sass, stay focused.” Killian told me as I stood toe to toe with him. Inhaling so much of him took out the part where I was supposed to breath with my nose, so I did with my mouth. It was funny that we were all casually speaking with him with so much blood stain on him. Before we exited the door, I grabbed a white plain shirt I saw hanging around and a small towel.~~~~~(On their Arrival)Melissa's POVI expected a mess, I was not gonna lie but I hoped for the best regardless. From what they had told me earlier in the day, the place was a safe haven that could quickly turn into hell in one wrong move.My job?I wasn't

Katie's POVThe outside air infiltrated my skin and went straight to my lungs, icing it up like we were standing in the middle of the wilderness. There was a show and tell in the back of my mind as I thought about what my first question was going to be because I had no idea. I kept following behind him while he kept walking ahead. There were suitable spots we could have sat like the first batch of stairs leading to the Lake House. It was the most comfortable part where we could just sit on the stairs in the absence of stars, just to see if I could touch his mind.“I know you are probably thinking…where are we going?” Killian said, his voice cracking up a bit as he took a shaky step. “I am way past thinking, now I'm just weary and ready for anything.” I replied, crossing a rock. The path was familiar, I don't know why I was just acting tough. I knew the path properly at this point. We got close to the little hill that stood in the midst of bushes and trees, just before we got down to

Melissa's POV“So…how long has it been—” I checked my time, “ten minutes…wow.” We have been sitting around for the last ten minutes waiting for the both of them to return since they went to make sure that Katie’s abilities worked. I could see that it was going to take more than just some finding out when the time started running past 5 AM.“I didn't want to seem like I was bringing the impatient one but thank God someone said something. How long does it exactly take to ask a question?” Shedrack asked, standing up on his feet and going to turn on the TV that had been turned off since I arrived here.“Guys just give them some time. I am sure they have other things to sort out asides Just knowing if her powers worked alright.” Stephen muttered over his laptop screen that was seated between his legs.“There has been a functioning TV all this while and no one thought to turn it on?” I asked, looking at the smart TV displaying Netflix.“Because no one asked. And besides we were all busy tr

Katie's POV And she did just that. Her groaned out so loud, my attention immediately went to Jessica and Melissa who stood by the corridor watching the ordeal take place.“Are you ready to answer the question?”She nodded her head eagerly. Her face contorted to show how much pain she was in and it only made me smile. Images of myself sleeping off in the waiting room two months ago as I waited and pleaded for a meeting with her but was instead awarded with some petty excuse from her secretary. I refused to feel bad for what I did to her.“So answer it.” She struggled to sit right since her hands were tied behind her. There was not much space or freedom to move with Killian behind her and myself in front of her. “Your mother…Hannah. She was the best in everything. I was second best. No matter what I did, she was just…better. I didn't know how she got away with barely surviving on her little finances and still managing to Ace all the classes. She quickly became the professor’s pet. I
