~ JESSE ~
I stood there in that room, hands on my mouth, heart pounding in my ears.
'Jesse, you can do this! Just make him stop and listen, then you'll have space to breathe…. Jesse… Jesse, what's going on? Jesse… FUCKING ANSWER ME BEFORE I BREAK DOWN THIS DOOR.'
I blinked and realized Cazz was about to ruin everything, and threw my mind open so he could see what I was seeing, shaking my hands and making myself breathe.
'Cazz, I'm sorry. I think I broke him!'
Garrett stood in front of me, frozen just like my brother. I had tried to only use a litlte of the power, but the snakes were so hard to control. I was terrified I'd stolen his mind.
In the bond, I felt Cazz exhale, then brace.
'Okay, okay, I'm glad you're safe. Now… pass me the power- slowly- so I can delve him…'
