Exploring

After a few minutes you remember the other smaller envelope. You pick it up and quickly open it. Inside is a wad of cash and another short note.

Oh yeah, I couldn?t forget your birthday present could I? Enjoy it.

?$500. Not bad thanks dad? you think to yourself as you count the money, a smile coming to your lips.

Thinking on your new found power, you try to remember when your tiredness first started. ?It must?ve been last Wednesday? you muse ?If dad was right I shouldn?t have too much longer to wait. I wanna see if this thing works?

Putting the letter and cash back in the envelope and stashing it away you quickly head downstairs and walk calmly into the lounge room. Laura is sitting on the couch still in her pajamas watching TV. Sitting in an armchair you pretend to watch TV, while stealing glances at your sister, wondering how to form this ?bond? your father mentioned.

Giving up any pretence you stare at Laura, concentrating your thoughts on her, fumbling blindly with your mind. She turns to return your gaze, her blue eyes looking at you. You feel a jerk and suddenly you?re staring at yourself through your sisters? eyes. Feeling a strange sense of double vision and a mild headache you pull back slightly and your sight comes back into focus. Laura stares back at you, a slightly blank expression on her face. In your head, in a bubble separate from your own thoughts you can hear Lauras? voice.

"What?s up bro?" she asks aloud

'Why is he staring at me' 'Have I got something on my face' emanates from the bubble in your head as Lauras? hand reaches up to wipe at her face.

You realize that you are hearing your sisters? thoughts; that you are actually in her head. Your mind racing, you wonder what you can do. You push a thought into the bubble of your sisters? thoughts, telling her to stand up and hop on one foot.

Obediently Laura gets up off the couch and taking her left foot in one hand she begins hopping up and down. {Rub your stomach and pat your head} you push at her. She releases her foot and then rubbing her stomach with one hand and patting her head with the other she tries to continue to hop on one foot. She quickly looses coordination and falls over onto the couch. {Stop} you push as she is starting to get up off the couch to attempt to continue what she was doing. {Stand on your head} you try.

Leaning against the couch she positions her self and then balances on her head, legs in the air, using her arms to stabilise herself. Her loose nightshirt however begins to slide down from her hips, realizing what is happening and that your sister probably isn?t wearing a bra you quickly push {Sit back down on the couch} at her, blood running to your face as she obediently complies {Pull your shirt back down and go back to watching TV} you push finally before mentally pulling away from your sister, loosing the connection, the bubble of her thoughts slowly disappears.

Blushing furiously and realising that your pants have tented outwards you quickly grab a cushion to cover your crotch. Laura glances over at you and notices your bright red cheeks.

?Why are you blushing brother?? she asks with a grin on her face.

?I?m not? you snap

?Whatever you say? she laughs, turning back to the TV.

?Amazing? you think ?She doesn?t remember a thing, and she didn't even stop doing what I told her, until I stopped her'. You have a mild headache from when you made the connection, but it isn't too bad and within a few minutes it disappears.
