The Genesis Project Prophecy of the Seven by C.L. De Leon

that slip about Garrett. “Please, don’t say anything, your mom, Ben and Bethany asked me not to say anything. I don’t know what they were doing there but they were there ,” I told him.
    “Tell me what happened ,” Jasper said as he moved his chair right in front of me he was so close his knees brushed against mine. I recounted the story even telling him about the kiss and the weird feeling I had about Garrett, I told him how I didn’t know if it meant anything or not but I couldn’t explain it.
    After I’d finished my story he leaned forward taking my hands. “You’re right I didn’t come here just to tell you I’m a part of the super hero squad ,” he chuckled.
    “I came here to tell you that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. When I first saw you walking out of the woods with wind wiping around you from nowhere, and everywhere, the clouds darkening above you, I felt your power. I was amazed and scared for the first time in my life.” He laughed again.
    “I think I’d like to spend more time with you. I know the story about Blaine but that boy…well he’s a boy. He told me and Ben about it when we interviewed him earlier. Just think about it, ok? I’m going to help you train along with Ben and some others. We have to split it up with you being an Ecological Empath and a Telekinetic,” he smiled, and I found myself smiling with him. He wanted to spend time with me. Wow.
    “I’m sorry; it has been a long day. You’re asking me to spend time with me? And I’m a what?” I said leaning forward; He caught me off balance with that one.
    “You’re an Ecological Empath, meaning you are sensitive to your immediate environment and natural settings through a psychic connection”
    I just stared at him. I had never heard that before, but then again I didn’t grow up knowing all of this stuff like he did.
    “Ummm…Okay. Well I don’t see the harm in you helping me train; I appreciate all of the compliments too. How old are you anyway?” I asked.
    “Turned twenty-five on June eighth ,” he said.
    “You do realize I’m eighteen…like I just turned eighteen on the 21 st of June.” I said, and he just smiled.
    “Yeah I know but the heart wants what the heart wants ,” he said placing a hand over his heart.
      I rolled my eyes and laughed. He stood, offering me a hand to stand as well. I took his hand and he pulled me up with ease, bringing me up to his chest. He was so tall, I had to look up to see his face and when I did he kissed me.
    It wasn’t like with Garrett or Blaine which until now had been the only people to kiss me, I hadn’t felt anything with Blaine, Garrett made me feel as if I was burning so hot I would melt where I stood, but Jasper was a slow burn that promised to consume everything in its path in a very slow deliberate way.
    He released me and smiled. “I can’t wait till tomorrow ,” he said turning to walk away while I stood there stunned.
    When did I become so kissable I wondered, I’d been kissed by two strangers in the matter of three days or was it four now I wondered. I was exhausted.
    I looked to my new bed walking over to flop on it turning off the solar lights after I was lying down.
    I pulled the blankets over me staring into the blackness waiting for sleep to take me, but Garrett and Jasper consumed my every thought until I finally drifted off to sleep sometime later.
     
     

CHAPTER 15
     
     
    I woke up hearing the sound of explosions. I jumped up and ran barefoot searching for my mom. In my haste I ran directly into a woman knocking her into the wall.
    “I’m so sorry Ma’am, what’s going on? Are we being attacked? Have you seen my Mom? Her name is Rowan D’Crey,” I asked the woman as I looked around, waiting to see the walls cave in on us any second.
      The woman looked at me as if I were daft. “We are not being attacked! The noise you hear is training, haven’t you ever trained before?” She spat at me as she moved to get
