"But what does Cyrus have to do with Seven's parent's deaths?" Nikki asked.
Suddenly everything was still. Not like everyone was just waiting for Draco to speak, but unnaturally still; like a wax museum or something. As I got up from the couch everything around me started to melt, except Draco. He struggled to stand up, with concentration creasing his face he spoke. "I do not know how long I can fight him off at this point, Seven. Know this before the illusion ends: everything you learned here is the truth and Cyrus is much more vicious than you know." Then he melted like everything else and everything went black. I was aware but not entirely conscious. I knew I had a body, but had no connection to it at this point and I had no idea where I was. I was only aware of myself, but more of myself than ever before. I could feel all kinds of energy flowing in and around me, like I was connected to everything simultaneously and yet I was still alone. I slowly became aware of my body surrounding my consciousness and how the energy flowed through me. That was when I heard her voice. It didn't really hear anything; it was more like the words were put directly into my brain, but it got translated into sound by my mind. "Seven, you don't know what your up against. Cyrus is more powerful than anyone truly realizes and if he finds out that I did this he'd kill us both. "His plan with the last illusion was to keep your mind busy so you wouldn't learn anything about what is going on. But your mind started pulling information out of everyone around you and basically turned that plan against him. You're more powerful than he expected you to be, but you still don't have any control. Control comes with time, which is something you don't have a lot of. All I can tell you is to watch the way it all flows around you." "But Mary I..." But there was nothing anymore. I felt her withdraw her presence from my mind.
