"How did you know that song?” Hunter asks.
"I've always known it. I've always sung it when I was afraid or hurting. It’s my automatic response to do it when someone else is hurting."
They all share a look.
"How did you know Kai's middle name and our last name?" Levi asks curiously.
"I have no idea. It just sort of whispered through my mind if that makes sense?" I cringe at the vagueness in my answer. “That makes me sound crazy, but I don’t know how else to explain it.”
"Ok." Jax says simply easily accepting my answer, squeezing my knee. "Aren't you going to ask us why Kai was behaving like that?"
"No, it's not your story to tell and if he wants me to know he will tell me." I say firmly.
They all smile at me in approval and my heart warms.
We've been sat here for just under an hour when Kai starts stirring in my arms, before he looks up at me, his grass green eyes apprehensive. I smile gently at him in encouragement trying to let him know that my opinion of him hasn't changed.
"Thank you Sage.” He smiles softly up at me before sitting up and placing a gentle kiss on my cheek.
The electric sparks seem stronger than before and my new Imprint Tattoo seems to tingle as once again the sparks accumulate there.
I watch as Kai's eyes go wide like my own.
"What the fuck was that?" He questions.
"What was what man?" Levi asks.
"Sparks, like electricity."
"I don't know." Levi answers, a quizzical look on his handsome face.
"I've never seen someone be able to pull you out like that before." Maverick states, changing the subject.
"It was different. When you guys have tried to talk me down before I've barely recognised you, forget about listening but with Sage I instantly knew her. She was just my Sage. Even then though, I couldn't bring myself back completely, but she managed to do it for me.” He looks over to me. "How did you do it? How did you know we were down here?"
I look around at them all watching me curiously. I can't lie to them;my body literally recoils at the mere thought, but will they believe me if I tell them the truth? I barely believe it myself and it happened to me.
Despite my past I do trust them though and I need to let someone in. I'm so tired of struggling with everything on my own. I've already started by telling them a small amount of what my mother has put me through over the years.There is no point backing out now. It's time to take a leap of faith and pray to anyone that will listen that they catch me.
"I woke up feeling a lot better but I suddenly felt this tugging, it's hard to explain," I say exasperated, they all nod encouragingly so I continue, "I don't know how but I just knew that one of you needed me." Their eyebrows all meet their hairlines but I continue before they can say anything else, "I followed the tugging and it brought me down here and to Kai. I just knew I could help him."
"Well that's . . . unusual.” Hunter says rubbing the back of his neck.
"No shit." I reply, causing them to chuckle.
Everyone is lost in thought and I feel my eyes growing heavy before I drift into a light sleep. I can't have been asleep for long when I hear Levi speaking.
"Maybe it's not though? I need to go through the archives and see if I can find anything similar and anything about the electricity you felt Kai." Levi explains giving me a small shred of hope that maybe this isn't as unusual as I thought.
"You could always ask Mr. S; he might be able to help?" Kai suggests.
"I don't want him to know before he has to. I know he's like family but at the end of the day he is still our superior." Levi replies.
I have a feeling that they aren't supposed to be talking about this in front me. I don't think they realise I'm awake even though I'm not trying to hide it.
Who is Mr. S? Does he mean a superior, like a boss?
"We can't forget the job either." Jax mentions.
