I woke up the next morning around 12:00 in the afternoon, I was starting to feel better, but I didn't feel 100% yet. I saw Abby still sleeping, resting her head on my chest. She looked so peaceful, even though there was a war going on between The Resistance and Mr. Delacroix's Army. I slowly got up, trying not to wake Abby in the process. I changed into a white t-shirt and blue jeans, and left the room, I saw some of Mercedees' men at work so I didn't want to disturb them. I began walking down a narrow hallway and to a room that I saw marked with
"Mercedees' room". I didn't want to barge in, so I decided to knock.
"Come in!" I heard Mercedees say beyond the door.
I opened the door and saw Mercedees at her desk looking at a map. She looked up and smiled.
"Hey Dash! How did you sleep" Mercedees said, pushing up her glasses.
"Pretty good" I said
"So I heard Abby decided to bunk with you, how did that turn out?~" Mercedees said, smirking.
"Shut up! It's not like that!" I said sharply
Mercedees held heard her hands up in defence.
"Ha ha ha! I'm just messing with you" Mercedees said
Mercedees shakes her head
"Anyway...I was meaning to come get you" Mercedees
"What for?" I asked
"Let's work on your eye" Mercedes said
"Like my power" I asked
"Yeah, we already know that it's tied to your emotions, hence why your eye glows, but I was wondering. Can we find a way to use it without you getting mad?" Mercedees said
"I was thinking the same thing, but how?" I asked
"Well...when your eye is glowing, how do you feel?" Mercedees asked
"I feel like my eye is burning, and I feel rage burning inside me" I said
"Well duh! That's how it works! Do you feel anything else though?" Mercedees questions
I try thinking for a moment, and it finally hits me after awhile.
"Oh well I do feel...focused? If that's how you call it" I said, questioning myself
Mercedees takes this in, trying to come to a conclusion.
"Well i'm not Fisher smart, but try acting focused in the same way when your eye is glowing" Mercedees said
"Alright, I'll try" I said
She does have a point, if I try acting the same way as when my eye is glowing...then I might be able to trick my brain into thinking i'm mad and activate my eye. It's a long shot, but it might just work. I breathe through my nose and out my mouth, trying to clear my mind. I then feel my eye start to burn a bit
"Your doing a good job Dash! Can you try taking it further?" Mercedees asked
"I can try" I said
I start trying to focus even more, at first it feels normal but then it feels like my left eye has went numb, or if it has went back to normal. Did I stop focusing?
"Oh my god!" Mercedees said
"What?!" I asked
"Your right eye is starting to glow" Mercedees said
Mercedees grabs a mirror and shows it to me, and she's right. My left eye is the same bright yellow, but my right eye...it's starting to glow but not as strong as my left.
