What Now?

#Chapter31 What Now?

/"Screw you, Colton./" She screams it at him, that piercing high pitch sound that sends me into a slumping cringe as I grab my ears and attempt to keep the pain out. I literally sync with Colton's pain, crumbling in the same kind of agony, and know her 'gift' has just been used against us once more as an effective weapon. She really likes to throw that around the way a toddler throws tantrums.

It stops as quickly as it hits and then in eerie silence and I pick myself up from the floor, pushing the bathroom door to click fully closed with my foot and hurry to pull his clothes on. Shaking from that assault and hoping to god she's run off to carry on her hysterics somewhere her screams can't rupture my eardrums.

You okay? Carmen needs to control her gift when she's mad. That girl gives me major headaches.
