"You've got the doctor's touch, girl. Although, because you're a healer, that makes you better than a doctor, right?" Naomi shrugged. "Hey, are you okay? You're looking like that took a lot outta you or something. Does using your powers hurt? And you haven't seen the guy, you say? Weird. But that girl's name is Rock? What would possess her parents to curse her so?"
When that kid, Hunter walked up to them, Naomi gave a weak smile. She was tired. Today was more than stressful.

Ben was laying in the bed with Katt, but he couldn't fall asleep. Something was tugging at him. He could not explain it, but he felt as if someone, or, something was trying to contact him.
He got out of bed and went to his classroom. He still heard activity outside and saw some teachers still on high alert. But he ignored all of that because he had such a intense urge to be by himself.
When he got situated in the room, he put a few ingredients together and casted a rather difficult summoning spell. He didn't know what he was summoning, so he also activated a protective field around himself.
There was a gust of cold wind and and the candles all blew out.
"You are in danger, Young Benjamin."
"Your home is under attack from forces you will not be able to overcome at your current stature."
"Your loved ones are going to die if you cannot warn them in due time."
"Who are you," Benjamin asked.
"That is not for you to know as of yet."
"Can I ask why?"
"It would prove to be futile."
"We came to you because of your heritage. Even though the power you used to bring us here does not stem from the other half of you, it still calls out to us."
"You must become stronger, Young Benjamin."
"Your loved ones must become stronger, as well as working towards cooperating better."
"How do we achieve such a thing," he asked.
"That is something that you have to figure out yourselves."
"However, we can be of some help to you and Lance."
"But that would require your absences from your responsibilities for a time."
"That is something that I would have to discuss with Lance, first. And then the rest of my team."
"We will not make the offer again."
"We were merely informed of the near future and saw that only you and your loved ones would be able to make a stand."
"Wait. You say you were informed of future events. By whom?"
"Again. That is not of your concern."
"And we have already spoken too much."
"You know how to summon us."
And then they were gone. Ben let out a large sigh, cleaned up his area and went back to his room with more on his mind than what he had before.

As everyone walked away from her, Naomi was relieved. She had no problems with any of them, and that Sam chick had a knack for healing that Naomi wanted to keep around. But she wanted to be left alone with her thoughts. And she had a lot of them to sort through.
