"Micah…" Susan warned.
"It’s
okay, we’ll be careful." Micah
glanced at Susan, then turned back to me. "Take what I’m already sending into your
stomach. Add it to your stream. Don’t let it build up inside you, just open
the channels so it flows completely through."
I felt
Shawn’s funnel open and I filled the extra space with more power. My search area widened. "More," I commanded Shawn. Surprisingly, he obeyed. "Even more." I was moving along the seabed quickly now,
covering a lot of ground. I wasn’t
taking any energy from Micah, I was only using what he sent me, and it was
working well.
Finally,
in a small corner of my search area I sensed a higher concentration of salt. "I think I found some sulphate."
I felt a
sudden surge of power from Micah. It
sent me stumbling forward and I would have gone straight over the edge of the
boat if Susan hadn’t grabbed me.
"Kaitlyn!" Micah yelled, voice strained. "Stop it!"
I turned
around in a panic. "I’m not doing
anything!"
Micah had
doubled over and dropped to his knees.
"Keep
your channel open!" Shawn
yelled. "It has to close slowly or
there could be damage!"
But the
flow coming from Micah was just as strong as ever, and something about it
felt…tainted. Something was wrong. Susan ignored Shawn’s warning and I felt her
streams stop abruptly. I followed her
lead.
By the time my flows petered out,
Micah had collapsed all the way onto the deck. His sister leaned over him, desperately trying
to keep him conscious. I ran around to
the other side of him and Shawn stepped back, giving us our space.
"Micah,
Micah!" Susan slapped his cheek
lightly. "Stay with me!"
I was
still in shock. Alex came running down
the stairs with a small first aid kit.
He opened it but looked hopelessly at Micah; Band-Aids weren’t going to
fix this.
