Chapter 5. Baily's POV.
Layla's brother Leo is driving the old van they own, we're headed towards Dylan's place.
Dylan used to be Layla's boyfriend, but after a while they broke up. He's very smart and likes to make inventions. He wants to show us something he's made recently.
On the way there Layla turns on the radio and Shut up and dance from Walk The Moon was playing.
Leo groaned in annoyance cause he hates this song. Layla and I just ignore him and start singing along to every lyric. By the time the song ends were pulling up into Dylan's driveway.
Leo turned off the car and we all hop out. Dylan meets us at the door to greet us. " So you guys ready to see something amazing?!" Exclaims Dylan.
We all nod in agreement and he leads down the porch steps and towards a barn behind his house. I've never been here so I'm guessing it's where he works on his inventions. He even made his own computer.
He leads us in there and it's amazing. Desks and tables are lined up nearly all around the room, and they are all stuffed with finished and half finished inventions.
" Cool ain't it. This one took me months to make." Says Dylan motioning to a huge one in the corner.
He leads us to the back of the barn. I walk forward and move passed Dylan and Leo to get a better look and Layla does the same. Her head was looking over my shoulder.
The invention he wants to show us is covered by a blanket. He grabs it and yanks it off revealing and cool looking Machine. It was sorta small, laying plainly on a table. There was a circle ring in the middle. It looked so cool and I felt like I was drawn to it. Layla looked the same. She was leaning over my shoulder to the point where she would fall, and she nearly did, but she put her hand on my shoulder to steady herself.
I was to distracted with the invention to realize Dylan was speaking, telling us what it does, but I didn't hear. " Can I touch it?" I ask.
He nods. " it will only work if two people are touching it or one person is touching another's hand or shoulder, maybe even arm."
I nod and stretch my hand out to touch it, and just as I touch it Dylan screams for me to stop, but it's to late. I touch it and a weird tingly sensation spreads from my fingers throughout my body. Them I realize the invention was working because Layla's hand was still on my shoulder, and I can tell from the look on her face, she could feel everything I could.
The weird feeling started to tingle stronger and stronger to the point where it began to hurt.
I feel weird now, really weird and my vision starts spinning, and the next thing I know, both Layla and I are on our sides on the ground and I see Layla is unconscious.
But the face I'm looking at isn't hers. It looks like my face, but no that can't be possible.
Before I can think of anything else, my vision darkens and I pass out into a deep sleep.
