Chapter 9

When Taylor walked out, still feeling rather sick to the stomach, he couldn't see Isaac anywhere. Sighing, he opened up his empathic block and started looking around for Isaac's empathic signature.

*Yo! Ike! Where are ya?*

*You're the empath. You should know.*

Taylor paused for a moment.

*Ok Ike, what mischief are you getting up to, and why haven't you let me in on it?*

Isaac laughed.

*I've been chatting up some girls. As different people.*

*Oh my gosh… Ike!*

*Hey, it's cool. There's this Jackie chick, who thinks I'm a 'John'. And then I shape shifted when she left, and met this other girl named Suzi… she thinks my name is Brock.*

*Please don't tell me you're becoming a player.*

*Hey, what kinda person do you think I am?*

*The kind that's get power mad when he discovers he can shape shift.*

*And I suppose the next thing you think I'm gonna do is plot world domination?*

*Something like that.* Taylor grinned.

*Just meet me by the fountain would ya? I'll be in my normal appearance.*

*Oh gee Ike, it could be just me but I don't think an octopus with, y'know fourteen extra eyes is very inconspicuous. Wasn't that the reason why you shape shifted in the first place?*

Isaac just laughed.

When he did finally catch up with Taylor, being his loving older brother, he immediately realised something had happened.

"Tay? What happened?" Isaac asked as they headed over to finally get the food.

Taylor hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then he sent Isaac a 'video' of what happened.

"Eww. That's gross." Isaac said, pulling a face.

**********

Arriving back, Jess immediately sensed something had happened that really grossed the guys out. Unfortunately, (for Taylor) she asked about it in front of the rest of the family.

It was Zac that realised the truth behind what had happened.

"Jess's and Avie's powers got magnified at the mall. Maybe something in there magnified your powers Tay." He said. "Or more specifically, your Attraction power."

Taylor just stared at him, eyes wide.
