‘Lamina stopped taking the pills, she crushed them up under her foot and let the water leakage from the cave dissolve it on the floor, the reason they caught her was because she spit the pills out too late and the guard was already coming her way, she told me the whole thing’ he explained, watching as the guard made his way past us

‘So you want to repeat Lamina’s plan, but be a little more tactical about it?’ I asked him

‘Exactly’ he nodded ever so slightly.

‘Okay, so what is the plan?’ I asked him.

‘First, we stop taking the pills, but don’t even put them in your mouth, just make it look like it, use your strength to crush them in your hand, and then throw them down that drainage pipe’ he said, discretely pointing to a small hole in the ground, water was all around it, so it would dissolve and drain

I nodded ever so slightly ‘okay’ I said to him

A few guards walked over with a small tray, ‘get ready’ he told me

I watched as they gave Drake and the rest these little white pills, I searched for my inner animal again, and I could feel her fear

The guard gave me some pills and watched as I faked popping them in my mouth, I hid them in between the creases in my fingers when he looked at my hand, I opened my mouth to show him that I swallowed them, and watched as Drake did the same

I waited until the guard walked away and then crushed the pills in my hand; I threw the remains into the drainage pipe as discretely as I could

I nodded at Drake and he nodded back

I looked at the others, and watched as they did the same, he must have told them the plan, how? I have no idea

Drake had told me before that I could see the past, present and future, I decided to try and see the past to see if I could figure out how the pills worked

I closed my eyes, working to see if I could use my power without my inner animal helping me

I exerted myself trying to use my power

I finally just gave up and opened my eyes

I gasped, realizing I was not in the cave anymore

I was on the beach, the waves were high, and the moon was up

I looked around, and found two people standing on the beach about twenty feet away

This time I had control of my feet, I walked cautiously over to them, afraid they would see me

I stopped when I realized it was Garrison, and a strange young man, about nineteen or younger, and he was holding a briefcase

He had brown short spiky hair, but I couldn’t see his eyes
