“Tantar,” he turned to me in surprise. I hadn’t spoken at all until this moment. “My name is Chloe and I am from the planet Earth.”

He nodded. “Yes, we were told you were something of a healer?”

“Yes,” I confirmed his statement, “But there is more to my SUPER abilities. I am able to sense things about people. I can’t really describe it. But there is a danger that is lurking around you.”

Tantar didn’t seem impressed. “Okay, tell me about everyone in this room.”

I gulped audibly, and Zack moved forward. “I hardly think that is necessary.”

But I raised my hand and stopped him. “No, I will do it.”

I looked at Rylee first, “Rylee has a kind heart and wild spirit, she longs to be seen for who she is as a woman and not a child.”

Tantar scoffed. “That is terribly vague.”

I shrugged, “Do you want me to finish or not?”

He waved a hand for me to continue.

Looking at Heath I assessed what I saw. “Heath is in love with a girl that doesn’t realize it. He is honest and true to the cause.”

Heath blushed, and his eyes flashed to Rylee who consequently was staring right at him.

I turned to Rafe. “Rafe is worried that people will find out he lost his money.”

Silence, and then Rafe scoffed, “How could you possibly know that?”

I ignored him, looking deeply into who he was. “Rafe struggles with gambling.”

Zack moved in front of me when Rafe took a step in my direction.

“There is no way that she could know that.” He looked angry and confused.

“It is her ability,” Zack warned. “Nobody in this room will say anything about it.”

“Drake will,” I blurted out. “He is a womanizer and a fraud. He hasn’t done anything truly terrible, but I sense that given the right opportunity...”

And then I gasped, the realization hitting me, “Drake has been contacted by the Stavainians.”

Immediately Rafe and Zack grasped Drake when he tried to run.

“Fucking bitch,” Drake spat, “I haven’t even done anything wrong.”

“You haven’t decided what you are going to do.” Iknew this to be as true as anything else I had said.

Rafe pulled out a strange looking device and held it against Drake’s neck. He cursed and swore but the next thing I knew Drake’s eyes closed and he slumped against Zack.

Zack moved him to the floor and secured his ankles and wrists.

“I am almost hesitant to ask what you think of me.” He flashed me a grin.

Tantar’ hands were shaking. “We need to talk.”
