"How did you do that?" The question left my lips before I could actually contemplate what I said and as she touched her hand to Lucas' forehead, his eyes closed before hers turned to me.

"It's part of my powers, and he is asleep. Not sure how long as I have never tried to use that on someone but we can hope for the best."
