During spells.
During scrying.
During the use of a Ouija Board.
“What Avalon is saying is that something that is worshipped is brought into existence with manifesting it. That something can take over a person and cause them to do bad things.”
Uh-oh.
To Julian, that sounded EXACTLY like what Nyx had done, and that made him so twitchy, his fight or flight was now all flight.
Avalon agreed with what he’d said.
“Exactly. This never existed until it did. Now, though, it carries on through humanity. It possesses it, and it makes it fester. As I’ve said, this person is not mentally well. They’ve been tainted their whole life, born into this. Now, it wants to get its hands on the person who personifies his whole reason for being. That takes us to your family. Your grandparents protected their one child, who was born with the same gift you have.”
Genesis didn’t understand that.
What gift?
She had been a cop with a great sense of when someone was throwing down bullshit.
“I am a walking lie detector. Nothing more, and nothing less. I don’t know how that can ruin someone’s life, or how one of my parents having that gift was able to do that either.”
She wished that was only the case. This woman’s gift wasn’t as simple as detecting truth from lies.
Not.
Even.
Close.
To help out, Lucian explained.
“Remember when you passed out?” Lucian asked. “That was all of your doors being opened. You said you heard someone in your head.”
She nodded slowly.
“I did.”
Avalon switched to talking to her another way.
You’re more than a lie detector. You’ve always been more, Genesis. This is your proof.
Hearing words in her head, Genesis gasped. The whole time, she was watching Avalon, and her lips never moved.
Not once.
Breathe. It’s okay. It’s only me communicating with you as we’re connected to the other plane. When you passed out, that doorway opened to it. You can now move between.
Oh.
Holy.
Shit.
Genesis didn’t like this.
“Why can I hear you in my head?” she asked, catching everyone there off guard.
