We all looked at eachother confused and shocked then back at Rhody. "Why didn't JB's compulsion work?" I thought. This has never happened before. I stepped closer to Grace knowing that my bad feeling about Rhody was well warranted, I didn't know what Rhody was capable of and I didn't know what he might do. I started to shift my eyes turning a scarlet red as my claws began to protrude out of my hands.
Grace could sense my unease so she reached down grabbing my hand trying to calm me down. I realized my state and took a deep breath to calm myself down, as I did my eyes went back to their normal color and my claws were put back. When I calmed down I noticed everything that was happening around me.
"JB did you do something wrong?!" Harrison yelled as he stood up.
"No, I did everything we were taught to do in class." JB said frantically.
"Harrison I know now might not be the best time to say this but when we were in the car coming back I tried to go back through Rhodys thoughts but I couldn't, just like with supernatural beings I can read what they are thinking about in the moment but not past time." I chimed in trying to help make sense of this situation.
"So you're saying he's supernatural?"
"It's the only thing that would make sense as to why mine and JB's powers don't work on him."
"I'm not supernatural! I'm a completely normal teen-age boy that's really concerned about where he has ended up. I'm going to get Blake and we're going to leave I can't spend one more minute here!"
As Rhody begins to walk out I do the only thing I can't think of doing. I get in his way, put my hand on his forehead for the second time today and Rhody falls back down into the chair.
"Thank you Faith." Harrison says while walking to the back of his desk
"No problem."
"JB can you take him down to the wolf cells and put him in one? I can't have him trying to leave with our secrets again."
"Yes Mr.Tupet."
We watched as JB took Rhody out of the room then we sat down on the chairs.
"So what are we going to do?" Grace said while taking a sip of her water.
"I don't know. Faith, when you read his mind did you find any details about what he might be?"
"No, it's almost like he doesn't know what he is."
"Maybe he doesn't." Grace said while standing up, "He obviously didn't know what we were talking about when we suggested that he might be supernatural, he seemed just as shocked as we were."
"Grace does have a point, maybe we should have him go through some tests to find out what he is?"
"That's a good idea Faith, I'm going to put you two in charge of figuring out what he is."
"Oh, Harrison I can't. I have plans to see Maya and Nate to help them with their study to find a cure for Nate's super vampire curse."
"But I have free time. She's flying over there and it takes her longer when she has to take two people so I don't mind helping out." Grace says while grabbing her phone.
"Faith you're flying over there and you weren't going to tell me?"
"I was going to tell you but we got a little distracted with Rhody."
"It's okay just make sure to avoid people and fly over the woods, not the cities."
"I know, it's not the first time I've flown to see Maya before." I say as I walk out.
Grace and I walk down to our dorm talking about Rhody and how she's going to test him. We came up with a few tests that could help determine what he is and how we are going to handle him. I didn't want to leave Grace here to do it by herself but I already made plans with Maya and Nate and we only have so long to find Nate a cure.
When we got to our dorm we walked in and I laid down on my bed thinking about how long this day is going to be. As I think I slowly drift off to sleep.
"Faith. Faith, wake up." I hear a familiar voice I haven't heard in a while.
I groan as I sit up, "What?"
"Faith hunny, it's time you woke up, you need to get up."
"Hunny? Grace, what are you saying?"
As I look up I see a face that I used to love and eyes that used to comfort me when no one else could.
"MOM?!" I say as I quickly stand up. "How is this possible you died two years ago?"
I ran up to her and hugged her as tight as I could, not believing that I finally got to see her again. All these years spent without her and she's finally here. I was feeling every emotion in this moment but I couldn't tell which one I should be feeling.
"Faith I missed you too, you've grown up so much." She said as she pulled away looking me up and down.
"How are you here? How can I see you?" I asked, looking at her with tears in my eyes.
"I wish I knew, were you in any danger? You could be dying, you need to go back!"
"No mom, the last thing I remember was being in my dorm bed sleeping."
"Faith you need to wake up, you can't be here, you're too young! WAKE UP!"
I suddenly woke up gasping for air. I fell to the floor in shock and confusion "what just happened to me" I said to myself. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder and then saw Grace on her knees in front of me trying to make sure I was okay.
I looked up into her eyes and saw her worry on her face. I sat up leaning against my bed and took a deep breath. I looked over and saw Grace leaning with her back against the bed as well.
"Faith, what just happened?" She said while laying her head on my shoulder.
"I don't know. I think I died and saw mom."
"What?"
"I fell asleep and woke up to mom calling my name, then we talked and she yelled at me telling me to wake up, then I woke up."
"It had to have been a dream. I heard you breathing, you were completely fine."
"It felt so real though."
"We both know dreams can feel extremely real, especially when they involve mom and dad."
"I know." I paused for a second to make sure what I was about to say is really what a meant. "You're right it was just a dream. I let myself get too far ahead sometimes."
"I know, that's why I'm always here to pull you back. You should grab your stuff and get going if you want to get to Maya's on time."
"Yeah, you're right. And you need to go and start testing Rhody. He should be up by now."
"You're right too. Bye, sis love you."
"Love you too."
I give Grace a quick hug then grab my stuff and put it in my bag, and I run outside onto the roof. Once I get to the roof I take a deep breath then jump.
