Chapter 3 Meet April

She took off her shirt and left only her bra on, I just stare in admiration and she laughs out loud, "You do know I hear thoughts good, that's how I know," Damn it! She's a freaking telepath, who the fuck does that? Well, that's about that.

She lay close to me in a brown shirt and I look at her, "Yes I'm single Jake but as a caster, we can't fall in love with normal humans not even for a second. It may cause problems."

She turned to the side and she slept off and I just wonder what's happening, I've got two days with no need to kill anyone and tomorrow night makes it 6 days for the orb to get to the keeper or me to go to him. If you know what I mean.

Directly before I snooze off into a slumber world I make sure the door has a locked theme all over it and the windows are shut. I'm not in for any surprises tonight, I'm way too tired for that.

I just lay back with the guns and knife on the table close to my head and I dream of April's face and body. I had no reason to care if she heard my thoughts truly, her brown chestnut eyes or chestnut brown eyes whatever anyone called it. They were alluring and warm when I stared into them, I just wondered how her brother looked if she looked as good as this.

What if the spell changed him? What if he only tried to stay good? What if he's good? What if I'm still at that hospital dead and this is all a dream?

All these questions pushed my mind back and forth till I slept.

It's 8:30am and I still feel the effect of April's presence all over me. I look by my side and my guns aren't there, not even the knife. But instead a place of freshly baked cupcakes and coffee. Sweetened cream coffee.

This makes me cautious until I hear her voice say, "Morning seeker, I ordered some food for us while you almost fell through the underworld."

My mind remained calm and my soul might I add, "Thank you April." I responded in gladness.

"So when you said he cursed himself and his caster family, you mean you too?"

"Yes, exactly." She replied.

That's a sad thing to think of, the seashell I picked up earlier slips out of my pocket and she turns to the noise it makes while landing on the floor. "What's that?"

She's curious to know about it and so I show her to reduce any form of fear she tries to assume to herself.

"Why the seashell April? I mean of all things. A freaking sea shell."

She walked closer to me and sat by me, "It's important Jake, it is. We'll need it at the crossroad, it has two pearls in it. That's for us."

I remain in confusion and silence, staring at her wisdom for life and ambition. The number of times I imagined a kiss was overwhelming for us both.

"When's your birthday April?" I try to change the topic, just to lighten the mood of the room.

"Last week Saturday, why?"

I just stayed calm and said, "Wow that's nice April."

"Where do you live April-?" Just like that, soon enough she plants a kiss on my lips making me lean lower on the bed with her on me.

Her legs well spread makes me imagine all that could be, all I could do and all I access but hold up. She's a caster and I'm just a human with six days to live, how smooth is that?

My hands rub her thighs and she moans in response to it, she grips my hair and kisses harder. My hands cover her body, especially her waist. She removed her lips from mine and gave me a small smirk.

My mindful illusion saw us having kids and a family and a big house. Wake up, Jake! It's just a kiss, it's nothing personal. "Jake we need to get ready for anything, this is a distraction for us," For someone that just kissed me, I must say that is just rude.

"All alright," With a short response, I get up and pull up a black shirt similar to the other two.

"My, you have a thing for the dark, don't you?" She asked because she's noticed me wearing the same coloured T-shirts day by day.

"Can't help it April, I love black." We both walk down the stairs and with caution we drive off to the road at the front. The man April shot brought the attention of the police. Getting involved with the cops is not my number one priority at a time like this or anytime at all.

I had a strong hatred for unnecessary attention, especially a negative one. "April what's it like to be a caster?"

"It's just normal for us, it's just the same but with extra abilities, powers and talents. You know," she explains.

I understood the whole thing but always found a way to make April talk until we got to the museum. "This building is quite tricky Jake, be careful." Her show of concern towards me makes me feel loved after a long time.

"Sure it's just a building or not?" My face shows an all-time confusion, the inside looks like a maze, while the exterior has just cement plastered on it with no paint covering it.

"April explain!" I freak out over this but I follow her. She ignored me and I hate it so much, we reach the door finally and she opened it exposing what looks like a club or night party.

I've seen movies like this and I know there's danger around here or close by. I'm watchful as I turn my eyes left and right watching attentively, April on the other hand is drawn by the music as she nods to it.

I see a woman with worm hair and another with tiny spikes coming out of her skin. The men at the bar had tattoos on their heads, they're not the kind I want to fight with by any means possible.

"Jake, keep up close, traps are here. Don't eat anything, don't drink anything, don't call anything and don't let anything distract you, stay focused. Understand?" Of course, I understood English or did she forget that already?

We reach the strip stand for strippers and we see a door behind the poles, like glued minds we reach for the doors but a big hand stops us. Oh, fuck! It's a bouncer, a muscular bouncer.

He looks at us for a minute and calls for backup before we say Jack Robinson it's a whole bouncer club. We make a run for it, I pass through leaving April behind me to run too but he holds her hands making her push harder away from him.

She escaped too, and we both stare at the underground fountain or waterfall if I may give names.

We swim in it, and we get to the other side of the shallow waterfall. The water seems cool and refreshing to my body.

April moved over and called for me to get up quickly, she notices the map and asked, "Why didn't you ask why I didn't want you to be my boyfriend?"

Like a baby deep in distress, I already slept off before she even started the lip speech journey for the night.

Well, I guess it's a good night then. Reminding myself that tomorrow makes it six days left.

Sleeping only makes me stay healthy for some time but still, I've got three things on my mind. Number one is the orb, number two is the keeper and number three is April. Yes, April.

I feel like she gets me any time of the day, she's just perfect at all chances given. I can't stand her alluring presence cause it tames me like a lion in a cage. She's just epic.

Wondering if I'm sleeping or trying to dream walk as I open the small fridge in the room. The bright light coming from it awakens my senses and clears my eyes up to see the clock on the wall, it's just 2am.

Believe it or not, I've never had any form of miscalculation when it comes to mystery findings but still, I try to reduce the overconfidence creeping through me.

Let's accept it, I don't trust April but I think I'm having feelings for her already. Who does that? I drink my bottle of beer swiftly and sit on the chair still looking at the pearls in my hand.

I look at the map for some minutes wondering how I'll get this orb, my life's on the line. "You need to reduce the volume of your thoughts Jake."

April caught me unaware, I forgot she's a telepath. So the next question is how can you block out a telepath, a noisy one for that matter, "You can't." She reassured me with all defining confidence. It's just stupid right now.

I just realized it, I remember having myself and April at an underground cave-like structure or underground waterfall. Now we're in a room, a hotel room for that matter. Just noticed it's a five-star hotel in Las Vegas.

I'm not a party type but then this is just creepy as hell itself. "I can transport human beings if I want Jake."

She just shows off all the time right? "Okay young lady next time you want to transport or import you let me know. Okay? This shit right here is more than too crazy for me to analyze so don't make it worse."

"You've got some powers in you too Jake, have you noticed?" She just gave me a chill vibe by that.

"No I don't, April, taking in acid is no fun at all," my face looking grumpier than ever.

She just stays there silent and finally, after a few seconds she mumbles, "We need to leave now, quickly."

In all-around confusion and puzzlement ask, "Are you insane? It's just some minutes after two in the morning."

She replied "The earlier the freaking better Einstein junior."

Of course, I've got no other option than to listen to April's every command at all times. I'm the null one and she's the supreme, "I know it all."

"See you outside Jake, don't forget your guns."

I feel like it's time to blow out some heads. Not sex head genius but actual heads, like humankind. I move out to meet her, finally noticing it's my sixth day and I've got one more day to not kill a soul. So the question is after today who will be the next target?

In between, I'm having strong feelings for April. They're coming up better than I thought but let's admit. She's a bitch.

April said, "I can hear you." This time with a little anger in between her grinding teeth.

Sorry!!!!
