Biting on his bottom lip, Kyrian listened closely to Meredith’s words, sparing Cyrus a thankful look when the water bottle was passed his way. While the water did nothing without a tylenol, a little bit of hydration never hurt. Unscrewing the top and taking a sip of water, he realized that what Mer was saying made sense and that he shouldn’t have a reason to worry until the two weeks were up. Until then, he’d just have to go along with the tests and make sure that he found his power in a more controlled environment than something more spontaneous and unplanned. In a way the fear of hurting someone else was worse than the fear of hurting himself with his as of yet unknown powers. The fidgeting with his lip stopped the moment Damon spoke up once more, adding onto what Meredith had said about the tests. He really wished this had been explained to them the day before… Why did all of this detail have to be a secret? Kyrian had enough secrets of his own that he wanted to keep to himself and he didn’t want the other students stumbling onto them. Though he supposed that would depend on how closely the other club members would be watching them. They couldn’t be followed 24/7 —
Or maybe in Damon’s case it would be possible for him to keep an eye on everyone when it was least expected or welcomed. “Stay out of my head!” Squeezing his eyes shut and pressing his fingers to his temples, the boy bit back a groan and just wished he could go someplace that was less noisy, less people. It didn’t matter if Damon could or couldn’t read his thoughts, he didn’t need any other voices in his head. How was he going to know if it was really Damon or some other voice he was never really aware of? Dr. Streeter identified two alters, but he could be wrong. What if there were others that neither of them knew about? He’d read that it was possible for people to have up to one hundred different alters and that statistically the average number people claimed to have was going up! It was scary for him to think about sometimes. Terrifying to think that there was now someone else who could invade his head at any given moment. 'No matter how different the voices sound, they all belong to the same person,' his doctor had said. Now he couldn't even believe that.
In a rather bored tone, Damon said something about him not being able to participate in the fights if he didn't allow the psychic contact to be made — effectively stopping him from having any chance at the best possible reward that was offered at the end of the three years. "Maybe if you'd said something about this before..." He almost wanted to tell Damon that he was sure other schools didn't have a leader with psychic powers and they did just fine. His non acceptance of this rule didn't harm anyone else. But his voice sounded so loud to his ears, echoing inside his head. And part of him did know the older student had a point. He did choose the unknown after all. Of course, he also could have asked for more details, but Damon had left the clubhouse as soon as Zhen had finished speaking yesterday and there really wasn't any time to ask the older student about his powers. And even then, as Cyrus demonstrated, he might not have even received an answer.
Just as he was about to say that he was leaving, another voice reached his ears and abruptly his eyes snapped open and he moved his hands away from his head and looked at the girl who had just spoken up. "The Dark Queen? You haven't changed at all, have you Umiko. Still pretending to be strong when you're nothing but a scared little girl. Do you remember me? Probably not. I thought that Tomi and I were closer, but even after I told him my name he didn't remember a thing." Where was his old friend anyway? Looking around the room, he saw the boy standing at the back and grinned. It was good to be back in control and to see his old friend sporting such a nasty looking bruise. Did his sister do that to him? The first year was positive he could have done better.
Looking back towards the front of the room, he got to his feet and glared at Damon. "And do you ever stop to think that perhaps your power and how invasive it is might be hurting someone?" This club could potentially have everything he liked in it and it would be a shame to just walk out without trying to make Damon see things from his point of view. "Then again you're the leader of this stupid club and walk around with a stick up your a** pretending to be untouchable and that it's your right to do as you please and damn the consequences." His dad would be pissed if he heard him speaking like this, but dad wasn't around to hear it and he didn't have to pull the stupid good boy act anymore. That also reminded him that if he joined this club, he would be able to finally pay Umiko back for what she did to him as a child. She had no idea how hard he'd already had it at the time, he'd make sure she knew now.
