Since the library was too crowded, Cassidy decided to take a walk in the woods. The sun filtered through the trees causing everything to seem lively. She walked for hours, around the edge of the forest, just observing the intricate detail of the nature; the hollows of the trees, the golden-eyed birds peaking through the leaves, the distant sound of the rushing river. After she grew tired of walking, Cassidy dropped her pack and sat, leaning against a tall oak tree. There she sat, using her telekinesis to pick up small rocks and toss them until she fell into a light sleep.

Somerled stayed at the edge of the forest with Natara walking beside him. He was walking forward but was still holding an eye on the girl studying the woods. Cassidy Nolan, age 16, stays away from her family, likes reading, power is telekinesis. Shouldn't be too hard. Somerled figured now was as good of a time as any and made himself visible. "Excuse me, Cassidy Nolan. My name is Somerled and we're here to tale you to your new home. I've been watching you and I know that you have powers. Both me and Natara here" Somerled waved a hand at where Natara was "have powers as well. You are to come with us either by choice, or by force."

Cassidy had woken up when she heard them stop in front of her. Now she just stared blankly at them, wondering if she was still dreaming. "Excuse me?"

Somerled sighed. He really needed to pay more attention to what people were doing when he spoke to them. That was the second time he had spoken without realizing the person wasn't paying attention. "Cassidy Nolan, we know about your powers and have come to offer you a home."

Cassidy stood up because she felt intimidated when she was sitting; but she didn't look at either of their faces. "Why? And how do you know about my powers?"

"I've been watching you for the past few weeks. Both of us have powers, and we're offering you a home where you can use your powers without worrying about what other people would think." A stray breeze blew through his thin black hair which caused it to get in his eyes. He brushed it out of the way.

Cassidy picked up her pack. "How do I know you're not joking around?"

Somerled thought for a moment. "If I prove to you that I have powers, will that get you to come with us without a fight." Somerled looked through the material on her backpack and picked out a book. "The Sight, by David Clement-Davies. Good choice. I've read that book quite a few times myself."

Cassidy gasped in shock, causing her to glance at his face for a moment before she quickly turned away. "How did you know that?" Cassidy checked her bag to make sure it was fully closed before she sighs in defeat. "Fine, I'll go with you."

"Very good. Now let's hurry, lunch is probably almost over." Somerled began walking back into the forest. He paused a moment and took out Journey to the Center of the Earth and began reading it while walking. "Oh, before I forget, try and spread out your tracks and drag your feet as much as possible. We don't need people following us."

Cassidy gave Somerled an odd look before following adn trying to do as he said. "Why did you ask me to come anyway?" She was a little nervous about going deep into the forest, but she laid it off as she followed him. At least I don't have to go back home.

Somerled didn't look up from his book while replying. "Mainly because of your power. We're gathering kids in Greave that have these powers and giving them a home until they are old enough to be on their own. We don't want others like us to be ostracized because of their powers, so some other kids, and I have grouped together, ran away, and found Cathriss Gate, the manor we all live in. We've been basically living on our own, taking from Greave what we need, and giving those with powers like us homes."

Cassidy nodded absently as she wondered how he could walk, talk, and read at the same time. Another idea struck her. "Shouldn't I be worried that you've been watching me?" She kicked at a medium sized rock that was in her walking path.

Somerled thought for a moment before answering. "Not as worried as you should've been in Greave. Besides, you'll come to thank me later for it."

Cassidy nodded for she wasn't sure whether or not the believe the stranger. Soon her feet started to hurt. "How much longer?" She complained.
