chapter 2

"So, we can split off and show you all around. right?"

Marcus asks, already splitting us into groups within his mind.

"sure. How about Nikki and Shard with Daniel, Jayne and Eris with Felicia, and that leaves you and I. That sound good to everyone?" I ask out, smirking at Marcus's astonished face, obviously surprised i just took control so quickly.

"That's sound fine. Shard and Nikki follow me!"

daniel yells running off, causing my friends to all spring into action until only Marcus and I are left in the room.

"So, gonna show me where everything is?" I ask, snapping my guid from his trance.

"uh, Yeah! Sorry, I zone out a lot." He replies shyly taking my hand in his.

"This is Felicia's room. She volunteered to offer it when you and your friends showed up."

I nod as he continues outside to the hallway, he walks down pointing things out along the way.

"That's Daniels room, my room, kitchen, bathroom, lounge, Keiths room, and-"

Screaming, from the room next to keiths.

"-and that Lloyds room. How about I show you the balcony?" Marcus suddenly grabs my wrist again tugging me towards another door leading outside.

What is up with Lloyd?

"woah! The view up here!"

I say, sidetracking my thoughts because of the height.The sun was setting over the millions of trees bordering the horizon. The house was apparently build onto a large hollowed out tree with a balcony around the outside.

"So,you're a fusion superhuman? Does that make you like a super-superhuman?" He chuckles while making a silly face.

I giggle lightly blushing at him.

"I don't know how to fully wield my telethia powers yet so more like a defected superhuman."

"I could teach you, if you want."

"would you!"

I know i just squealed like a middle schooler getting asked out for the first time but I don't care.I could learn some backstory from this, and maybe get a bit closer with Marcus.

"Of course! Everyday after everyone else is asleep sound good?"

"Yeah, that'd be cool. Bytheway, been meaning to ask, Is Lloyd okay? He starting to scare me with his constant screaming and running off."

The smile fell from his face when I asked. Maybe I shouldn't have.

"Nevermind, its not impo-"

"I'll tell you at training tonight.

"huh?"

"your friends will have to know eventually. I'll inform you when we meet for training tonight."

I look at him quizzically,

"You sure?"

"Yeah, see you tonight?"

I grin.

"I'll be there!"

----------------------

This should be the time. everyones camping in either Felicia's room or the lounge. When i finally hear that Jayne had exhausted her energy outlet and fallen asleep on the floor beside me, I stood up. Careful not to wake her. We, and Nikki, are staying in the lounge. Of course the morpher already dibsed the couch and both jayne and i refused to sleep on the table.

Tiptoeing, I made my way to the door, creaking open and slipping outside.

" Glad you could make it. You ready to start?" I hear Marcus smile after i slip outside to him/

"Yeah, you gonna tell me about Lloyd still, or no?"

He sighed, breaking eye contact.

" I don't know the whole story, only Lloyd and maybe Keith would. But we found him close to death at the treeline of this forest. He had that gemstone on his shaw clutched into his hands, we knew it was important though he hasn't mentioned why. He had burns everywhere on him, we knew he was a runaway from a burning village, ruins by now, that was in the distance. That's as much as I know at the moment."

I nod, that actually makes sense.

The way he acts, looks, talks, heck even his visible emotion all adds up to something like that happening.

"We, uh- can talk about this later. wanna get to training?" He asks hesitantly.

"Sure."

He smiled, confidence back in place.

"Okay so just try to teleport to.... hmm,that side of the deck, then back. okay?"

I nod again, focusing my energy on the targeted spot. Willing myself to appear there, until I finally do. With a grin I teleport back the same way, only with little care.

That lessened amount of focus causing me to topple onto the wooden balcony floor, bring Marcus with me.

I roll off of him, both of us muffling our laughs. We practise countless times, him giving me tips and help as I need it until sunrise.

Yawning, I bid him goodnight and sneak back to the living room, tucking myself into my makeshift bedding and drifting to sleep after the countless hours of work.

-------

"Upnadam Sammy!" I hear someone, sound like Eris, singsong into my ears. Speak of the devil. Opening my eyes I see the one and only teikan friend of mine.

"5 more hours please." I mumbled shoving my head into my pillow.

"Nope, Felicia and keith made breakfast and I don't wanna wait to eat!"

Jayne yells, jumping around excitedly. Makes me tired just looking at her.

"Then go eat."

I cocoon myself into my blanket only to have a squeaky voice whisper into my ear.

"Can't eat til everyone is present at the table!"

I screech, throwing the blanket off and jumping to my feet. A 3 inch tall Daniel is laughing his ass off as he leans against Shards foot.

"I like this guy!" She says with a slight smirk.

"You're all assholes..." I feel the heavy bags under my eyes dragging me down as I sluggishly trudge to the kitchen with everyone else, daniel morphing to his normal height.

In the kitchen Keith Is separating food onto plates and Felicia is setting the table.

Daniel cackles loudly entering the room with us.

"what did he do to one of you?" Felicia immediately asks.

"Scared Sam outta her bed. Hilarious!" Nikki screeches out, her and Shard having their arms around one another's shoulders for support.

"Glad to know you're looking for a wake up call like in the intermission test." I grumble.

"No trees to knock me outta in the house!" The morpher sang with a grin.

"We are in a tree house in the middle of a dense forest. many trees. Or I could just push you off the couch, dump a bucket of water on you while you sleep. many options." I chuckle slightly.

My friends laugh loudly.

"Fine, I see your point."

"Pancakes!" Jayne yips with excitement as she starts eating from the plate that had been set before her. "This is really good, you two are great cooks!"

Felicia grins at the compliment, keith letting a small smile fade into his lips.

"thanks."

"Hey! What happened to the 'no eating till everyone's up' rule?" I grumbled tiredly.

"Oh, did Daniel pull that one on you? Daniel, you should have left her to sleep!"

Daniel shrugs at Felicia's comment, grabbing his plate and eating with Jayne. Eventually all of us except Lloyd are at the table.

"Where do you get the ingredients to make this anyways? Wouldn't you have to get into a human kingdom?" Nikki asks.

"Uh, yeah. Marcus goes undercover every week or so and either steals or trades for food. Anything else we get from the surrounding area, like berries." Keith say putting his dish into the sink and grabbing a clean one. He puts fruits and a few pancakes onto the plate with a little butter and syrup. Then he walks over to a small counter in the corner and leaves it there.

"What are you doing with that?" I ask, who just leaves a plate of food in the corner of the room?

He starts to answer before Eris lets out a quick screech, obviously startled by something. I follow her petrified gaze to a hand.

A hand that had been reaching through the wall to the plate in the corner. It retracts, before swiping it off the table and disappearing through the wall.

"Sorry." Apologizes a quiet voice from the doorway near where the plate had gone from. We all turn to see Lloyd holding said plate between his trembling fingers. Just as sudden as he had came, he left. Turning and stepping in the direction of his room.
