She didn't know why, but she felt like she could trust him. Despite the fact that he had just tried to kill her. Something was different with him, and she could sense it.<br/><br/><em>"Just trust me."</em>He said.<em>"I can get us out of here."</em>Karina truly believed him. Anyone else would have run screaming to a neighbor's house. But Karina could sense his honesty. He was confused, but was determined to get them somewhere safe.<em>"Come on."</em>She followed him to the car.<br/><br/>Karina got in the passenger seat, without a word. She didn't even know what she would say to him. He reclined the driver's seat and started driving...somehow. He had no way to see where he was going, but he was definitely driving like he could. Karina felt a sharp pain in her thigh, and saw that she still had the knife in her hand - and the tip was digging into her skin.<br/><br/><em>"Are you a psionic?"</em>James asked. Karina looked at him in confusion. She had never heard that term before.<em>"When we touched something happened.... I got a flashback and it's like I was just brought to the surface. I'm also detecting some residual energy... pretty sure whatever happened, you did it somehow."</em>She had never been asked about her ability before.<br/><br/>"I... I'm..." Karina tried to figure out how to explain it to him. "I don't know. I can feel people's emotions." She said plainly. "When I touch someone, everything gets magnified - more intense." Karina looked away, and stared at the floor of the car.<br/><br/>"I can feel you right now. Just sitting here, I can feel... Your confusion, and determination, and even your anger." Karina was simultaneously drowning in a sea of emotions, but felt numb to everything.<br/><br/>"I can't believe they want me dead..." She whispered, mostly to herself. Her hand moved up to her neck and she rubbed it gently. She was definitely going to have some bruises when she woke up.
