Chapter 85 - Eighty-Five : Mission Intercepted.
Sabrina stood transfixed in shocked silence, she looked around and just as expected, she was in Brian's corridor with Dan, but where were the others?
"What happened? " Sabrina asked with concern while Dan kept staring at his hands inquisitively.
" I think I might have exhausted my powers " Dan said trying to summon it but received nothing in return.
"This happens? " She asked genuinely surprised
"It happens when I try to conjure and teleport to areas I don't know, sense or been to " He explained looking at everything but her gaze.
"How long? "
"Huh? "
"For how long do you lose your Power?" She asked him again.
Dan scratched his scalp thoughtfully "Sometimes a day or two, or some hours but it depends on how stressed out and the degree of energy I drained myself while teleporting "
"Ok" She nodded and looked away and a momentarily awkward silence reigned.
Thankfully the house seemed quiet, so they had the whole apartment to search to their heart content.
"Nobody seems to be home " Sabrina tried to start a conversation when she couldn't take the silence any longer.
"Umm" He made a low sound of approval and hardly took two steps when he froze.
"What?" Sabrina asked when she noticed his tensed countenance.But that was when she heard it, the creaking sound of the backdoor - Someone was coming in.
" Shit! " She cursed and looked around trying to find a hiding place but nothing stood out aside from pictures hanging on the walls - the passage was just a passage!
The voice - no voices were getting louder and closer.
Suddenly, she felt a tug on her hand and Dan pulled her to the nearest room which was open and hidden by curtains.
But it seems the universe was set to ruin them cause the voices were heading their direction.
" Do something! " Sabrina whisper-yelled
"I can't do anything ! no powers remember? now you do something! " Dan whisper - shouted back
"I can't come up with anything, this situation has caused my brain to short-circuit and the only thing I can think of is turning both of us into birds, then we fly away, problem solved! " She quietly retorted with suppressed rage.
Immediately, Dan grabbed her arm and they both squeezed themselves into the large shutter door wardrobe and bolted it from behind just as the laughing couples came inside the room.
The wardrobe was cramped and dark but a few light filtered in through the space between the louvered shutters - which somehow gave them a view of what was going on outside.
Sabrina had the perfect view while Dan had to crane his neck to the side in order to take a peak since he had his back against the wardrobe-door.
Even without looking, Sabrina knew it was a couple thanks to their conversation but her eyes suddenly widened when she saw the boy - possibly Brian, throw the girl down on the bed which was followed by the loud smooches.
Her eyes met Dan's immediately.
He might not be looking but she knew his hearing was great.
"Don't tell me those kids are doing what I think they're doing " Dan whispered to her.
Sabrina wanted to reply they were just making out when she heard the tearing of fabrics.
Oh boy!
"I think they're about to do what you think they're doing " Sabrina acknowledged and saw Dan gritting his teeth and rolled her eyes.
"Seriously Dan, this is the 21st century and the kids these days do this kind of stuffs, so stop being so old-fashioned "
Dan wanted to argue with her but she sent him a warning gaze, so he shut his lips at once.
Sabrina curiously peered through the space when everything became quiet and then she saw it.
The girl was lying on top of Brian on the bed- stripped of her clothing while her shirt was in the process of being pushed up to her shoulders and Brian already in his birthday suit.
Then suddenly, as if a dam was broken, she sat up and began to bounce up and down on the guy's lap and he was indeed looking enthusiastic.
"Do you know you look like a pervert ?" Dan insinuated about her staring at the couples going at it.
She turned to glare at him " It's unavoidable, how was I to know I was going to be treated to free live porn " Came her pathetic excuse while Dan shook his head.
"But don't worry " Sabrina assured " They would get it over with soon, I bet ten minutes and they're done "
But thirty minutes later, she took back her words.
"Are this kids high on drugs on something " She cried out, frustratedly. They were not only having sex but a torrid one.
It has been quite some time now and they were not even close to the word 'stopping ' - truth be told , it was affecting her already.
The wardrobe was so cramped that both their bodies were pressed together like canned sardines and the moan from outside growing in strength from low whimpers of joy to shouts of ecstasy weren't helping matters at all.
" Behave " She cautioned Dan when she felt his below stirred.
"What do you want me to do? I can't help it " He whispered helplessly and she sighed. Her own pulse, blood pressure, and breathing were all on the rise.
Who said it was easy being in a closed space with your ex?
"Maybe this is the time you should summon a portal and get us out of here" Dan suggested, trying his best to keep his hands to himself
" I can't, it would cause a spatial disturbance" She stated.
" Or cause something to disrupt them, a rabbit... or snake or dragon -"
"Geez, easy on them Dan, who knows but this might be their first time and I won't want it to be traumatic but memorable for them" Sabrina pointed out
But Dan frowned "Why do I feel like you're enjoying this? "
" Of course not " She denied " Moreover I'm trying to prove -"
"That you can be in a confined space with me without trying anything stupid " Dan spat and she froze, eyes wide and mouth agape.
"I-I eh " She tried to speak but couldn't find the right words.
Dan scoffed and craned his neck to the right, peering through the shutter.
All of a sudden, the couple performing the rigorous act stopped abruptly and Sabrina was sure she heard the both of them say simultaneously and in a harmonized manner
"Let's take the fun to the Master bedroom "
And immediately they left.
'Creepy' was the only word that come to Sabrina's mind. Why did they stop all of a sudden.... oh my God .
" Dan! " Sabrina called but he didn't give her a response. She called him again but this time, shook him vigorously.
Thankfully, he responded by turning towards her but Sabrina gasped from shock.
The whole of Dan's eyes were pitch black.
