An Abomination

Despite her confident attitude in front of Carson, Ivy was actually very nervous about meeting another telepath. More so because Adrian insisted on coming with her. She didn't find out why until they arrived at the building.

A mental hospital. She was a minor and had to be accompanied by a legal adult, which he technically was at almost nineteen.

Ivy had to force herself to even go in once they arrived. She had spent her entire life trying to avoid ending up either in a place like this or in a research lab. What exactly had happened to the other telepath that she ended up in such a horrible state?

"Adrian, who are we going to see?" she demanded under her breath as they approached the front desk.

He ignored her question and spoke to the receptionist. "Hi, I'm here to see Rosa Marquez…again. And I brought someone else with me."

"I'll need both of your IDs," the receptionist said in a perky voice.
