Everything was clear to him now and she knew that he wouldn't question her ability because he knew deep down she was telling the truth.

As he tried to formulate sentences all he could get out was if a lot of people knew. She shook her head no and elaborated, "No, just Violet, Elektra, Kurumi, and Professor Bishop. And Bishop only knows because quite frankly I have visions in her class often and she helps cover it up. Something about Divination seems to spark the visions to occur. I can't really stop them once they start. I've been trying, but every time I do they fight back and cause a seizure like you just saw."

But he was still shocked. He tried to offer up help with the chocolate but she could see he was still too shocked to talk fully so she put her hand on his shoulder and helped him sit down. It was a lot of news to take in at once. Everyone had a different reaction. Violet was thrilled with the possibility of knowing what she would look like everyday. Elektra honestly could care less... she had the whole parseltongue thing that she worried about. Kurumi was understanding but a little taken back and shocked. And Bishop, well Bishop wanted to help, but was obviously intrigued by her case.

Then the question that they all asked came to the front line... what had she seen? She sighed and answered, "Christopher the future is a tricky and dangerous thing. It is its own monster. If you choose to know what I saw
then you will get tangled up in it. And once you are in you never get out. If you want that I will tell you... but not everyone wants that burden. Merlin knows I don't, but I have no choice."

It was a lot to take in. But Christopher was finally beginning to process his thoughts. He sat down, looking at Selina with the most confused look in his face. "Wait..... So your parents don't know?!" he asked, feeling most upset. "Shouldn't they know? I mean it's kind of important," he said, starting to feel almost a tad angry. Weren't parents supposed to help their children through those kind of things? He'd imagined her parents to be so kind and loving and understanding- he wasn't sure he could bear going to another judgmental home if he really did end up with the Skylars, which was something he could only hope for.

He nodded, listening intently to the highly important words his friend had to say. But all the while, he kept his face blank and unreadable, with eyes kept on the floor. After a long pause of silence, he managed to ask a rather clever question that he'd been thinking throughout her entire speech. "So.... so it had something to do with me, didn't it?" he looked at her shocked expression and said much more confidently, "It did. I can tell by your eyes."

Christopher wasn't exactly sure what she saw, but by now he was certain it dealt with his fate, and something about him. And although he craved to know what the future held for him, he was positive he wanted to listen to Selina and not know. The future was a tricky business, and he wasn't so sure he wanted to get involved in it. Or that he would even be able to handle it
