104 Focus On The World Around You, Not The Demons In Your Head.

"Feel better?"

"Figured you needed to be cooled off. Didn't want you to bleed out of your eyes."

"Mmhaa, I've seen better," Laz couldn't help but act tough in this situation, but inside he agreed with her.

"Oh ho ho. So your not some sort of cherry boy after all eh?"

"Cherry boy?"

"Shut up. I spend too much time with my dad." Kat said, looking a bit red. Even being naked wasn't enough to embarra.s.s her, but for some reason, her age seemed like it might be an issue.

"No, It's fine. I hear it a lot at home." He didn't mention that he was always surrounded by old guys.

"Really?" Kat asked.

"Yep. Actually, it was true till bout a few weeks ago," Laz pointed out.

"Ah, look at you. Already getting busy so young huh? So what was her name?" Kat figured she could have some fun with this.

"Kennedy..."

"Interesting name."

"And Malene," Laz finished up.

"Eh? So, twice in a week?"

"Uh... no. It was at the same time."

"Animal!" Kat couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yeah... I guess." Laz seemed a bit down as he thought about the girls. Despite sending some texts, the later ones expressing concern, he hadn't heard anything back.

"What's wrong?" Kat had been treading water, but took a moment to allow herself to float. Although it was rather difficult with her muscular frame, it was still doable. The only problem was that most of her body was still slightly underwater while only her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and her head were above it. Laz couldn't help but wonder if it was those things that allowed her to float.

"Hey, come on and float a bit. And tell me about it." Kat, seeing as Laz didn't say anything, didn't turn to look at him and therefore a.s.sumed he just didn't want to talk about it. Had she turned over, she would have noticed his gaze on her floaters and his half hidden smile.

Laz, hearing her request, just sighed a bit before laying back. He kind of experienced the same problem that Kat had, being that only his head and one other thing were floating. It was truly an amusing situation.

Laz proceeded to explain to her what had happened and what was going on with the girls. He kept it brief but explained clearly his worries. If anything, he was hoping she would have some insight for him. After hearing about his worries, Kat's face tensed up as she sunk into thought. Laz didn't know what she was doing and so he just waited patiently for an answer. It was a bit, but Kat finally replied back.

"There are many things that happens to a girls heart after her first time and every woman is different. From what you've said, they seem pretty close so I wouldn't worry too much about it. After all, the only means of communication they have with you is their phone right? So it could just be something involving their parents taking away the phones or something. Just give it some time." Kat told him this to rea.s.sure him, but there were many things she wasn't mentioning.

Both Kat and her dad knew that lots of people who had developed powers were starting to go underground. In that case, the first thing to be destroyed would be past relations.h.i.+ps and digital devices. Without either of those, it can make it difficult to find someone, even in this modern day and age.

"Anyway, the real reason we came here was for you to practice." Kat said after letting her words sink in. Laz wasn't sure that he really believed her, but what she said did make sense. He kind of felt better after accepting that it could just be something as simple as that. It never occurred to him that they might not be in possession of their phones.

Of course, he then focused on the fact that Kat said practice and he started feeling a bit chillier despite the warmed water.

"Practice?"

"Yep. Practice. How long can you hold your breath for?" Hearing the question, Laz was confused, but he then heard a splash and seconds later felt a hand on his ankle, yanking him underwater. Taking a deep breath, Laz was pulled under by what felt like a rock attached to his foot.

As he hit the bottom of the pool, he felt the grip on his ankle loosen. Opening his eyes, he saw Kat standing on the bottom of the pool while glowing a soft bronze color. It seemed like she was using her ability to stand firm on the bottom of the pool. Being in the deep end meant that they were 12 feet down. Although it wasn't a ton of water, there was quite a bit of pressure. With his eyes open, Laz was able to see Kat standing in full view despite the lack of light due to it being dark otherwise, mostly thanks to her using her ability.

He then saw her sit on the bottom of the pool, wave her hand down like she wanted him to sit and began her mediation. Laz couldn't help but take another look at her. Despite her body being rock hard, her hair was floating around in a circle behind her, giving her an ethereal vibe. Like the carved statue of a G.o.ddess, she sat on the floor of the pool looking like a descended deity. Of course, if there was one human characteristic about her, it was that Laz could see that her bottom lips were the same soft brown color of her nipples. Although he was trying not to notice, it was really hard not to. Especially when she was providing her own light for him.

*Stop staring. It's hard to concentrate with your d.i.c.k pointing at me.*

Laz couldn't help but open his mouth in amazement and then started gasping for breath as soon as the voice appeared in his head. Kicking off from the bottom, he soon came to the surface where he violently choked over and over again, getting the water out of his mouth. When he had finally calmed down, he took a few deep breaths and finally, holding the last one in, went back under.

He could still see her sitting there having yet to move and he couldn't help but try to communicate with her again.

*You can talk to me like this?*

*Since your thoughts weren't guarded, yes. Actually, I feel like you would have been drooling had you left your mouth open.*

*But how?* The question burned in his head. He had talked to Kennedy this way before, mind to mind, but she wasn't able to respond back. And he had actually tried it with Malene, but her mind felt like a brick wall that didn't allow his thoughts to go through.

*For anyone who has reached the first level, their sense opens up. Some are naturally inclined to it while others need to work on it. It seems like you are rather naturally inclined towards it. I had to work on it a bit with my dad before it became easy.*

*So, everyone will be able to do it?*

*Yes. But its a sense like any other. Be it hearing, seeing, touching, smelling or tasting, for you to get the most out of it, you need to train it. My dad used the phrase spiritual sense, as though one person connects to another via their spirit. Since calling it a mind link sounds stupid, I've been calling it that too.*

*Spiritual sense? That sounds about right.*

*Glad you like it. Now, get your a.s.s on this floor and begin by clearing your mind. You need to practice circulating your energy in whatever way feels most comfortable. While you are at it, slow your blood flow and reduce your oxygen use. Doing so will allow you to go without breathing for longer. Don't die of course.*

*But why under the water?*

*This is basically a big pool of chemicals and weight. Having it rest on you while you try to cultivate and grow your energy will be like trying to swim through a pool of mud. But the resistance will help strengthen your ability to do so once your out. It's like how athletes train in high pressure areas to allow them to build their lungs and other muscles. We are just doing it with energy.*

*Ok, I'll try.* Laz could feel his air running out, but he was going to try for a few seconds before he had to go up for another breath. He was stunned that she had stayed under for so long without needing to get air, but it showed that it was possible.

Although Laz got into position, he wasn't able to settle down and needed to take a breath quickly. Shooting for the surface, he finally took a few more breaths and went down to try it again. This cycle repeated several times, but he didn't get anymore help from Kat. After about the seventh time with no success, he stayed on the surface of the water and tried to reflect on the problem. Of course the answer wasn't an easy thing to grasp.

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt something firm but squishy press into his back and a familiar set of hands start to rub his chest.

"Umm..." Laz said out loud.

*Stop thinking so much. Stop trying so hard. Although hard work is important, you need to be able to let go of all of the distracting emotions when needed. Just let your body feel what's around you. Feel my b.r.e.a.s.t.s rub against your back. Feel my hands all over your chest. Feel my breath in your ear. Just focus on that and calm down. Focus on the world around you, not the demons in your head.*

Her voice projection was like a whisper in his brain. As she rub against him, strangely, it felt more relaxing than s.e.xual. Listening to her words, Laz took a few deep but slow breaths and just focused on the feeling of her body against his. Then, closing his eyes, Laz stopped treading water and let himself sink while Kat clung to his back.

As he got deeper, he could feel the energy coming in lessen considerably. But what was coming in, came in slowly, as though working its way through mud. This heavier energy compacted the energy already in his body, making it all s.h.i.+ft into one spot, right below his stomach. It was truly a strange feeling.

As such, he focused on just the feel of the water and the warm flesh on his back, allowing the weight of the water to push down on him as the little bits of energy continued to be drawn in slowly. At some point, the warm feeling on his back disappeared and instead, ended up on his lap. Then, it started getting heavier and heavier and Laz knew that Kat was not only sitting on him, but was also using her ability to increase the pressure on him.

Whether it was intentional or not, her sitting cross legged on him cause his man meat to rub up against her bottom, but he did his best to ignore it.

Losing himself for a bit, he lost track of time while he mediated. All the while, he knew that Kat was right there, rea.s.suring him with her presence and pressure. He didn't know how long he had stayed there like that, but he started to feel the pressure lighten up and opened his eyes. Kat had stopped using her ability and was hovering right there in front of him, looking down a bit at him with a smile. Knowing that he had succeeded, he was able to smile back while looking up.

It was at this moment of clarity however that he realized he had no air left and started to panic. Moving around quickly, he tried to get his legs under him to push upwards, but his body was stiff and hard to move. Seeing him start to thrash around, Kat came forward and locked her lips onto his while breathing out, helping to fill his lungs with her air while quickly pus.h.i.+ng off the bottom.

Their lips never left each others as they floated up to the surface.
