Beyond My Knowing, chapter 33

The door chime sounded. Kes turned back to took to Miteza in question, then to Anara. ”How should we handle this?” Kes asked softly.
”I…” Miteza put in. ”I’ll delay him. I… I’ll ask him to come back another day.” She offered, Kes reading from her that her indecision was clearing and she didn’t want to marry another man who might treat her like Tulk had. A small part of Miteza hoped that Cagen would be kind, but she thought it was unlikely and didn’t trust her judgment enough to take a risk like that.
”We’ll hide then.” Kes told her, feeling apprehensive about this still.
”If anything goes wrong, we’ll be here for you.” Anara told Miteza, briefly putting a hand on her shoulder in comfort and touching her hair a little.
Miteza nodded and tried to be brave.
Anara took Kes’s hand and led her to a storage room that was nearby. They went in and closed the door behind them. -Something’s wrong, isn’t it?- Anara asked her, mind to mind. -Why does Cagen make you feel this way, I wonder?- She asked, touching Kes’s hair and face in a markedly more intimate way than she’d touched Miteza moments before.
-…I think we’re about to find out.- Kes replied as she closed her eyes and shared vision with Miteza, wanting to get a look at this man for herself.
She saw Miteza open the door, saw Cagen’s face and felt fear, anger, and remembered trauma all at once. The same man. It was the same man. Kes reached out a hand, Miteza’s hand, and turned Cagen’s mind off with no gentleness whatsoever. Miteza staggered back and Kes lost her connection with her. She hadn’t really meant to do that, had she? But she’d been scared. Miteza was her sister now too, not just Anara’s, and, in any case, she wouldn’t want to let this man near any woman at all, given the choice. Kes turned to Anara, but Anara was silent. Her mind… Kes looked into her wife’s mind and fled from what she saw there.
Anara left the storage room. Kes blinked and tried to focus her thoughts on what to do next. Feeling disoriented suddenly, Kes knew she had to follow Anara, to keep her safe, to make sure Miteza was safe, that she hadn’t hurt her by accident, channeling her power though her like she’d just done.
