As soon as we got to Daley and James, Daley understood. “Come Anya. We need to teach you basic mind protection. Fast!”

I nodded in response even though I still didn’t know what was going on. Angela walked off, and I turned to Daley. “So.. I’m a pretty fast learner.” I managed to get a weak smile out of Daley.

“James, keep practicing while I teach Anya. You’ll need that.” James nodded and began practicing. “Now Anya. Focus on the part of your mind where you are connected to me. Okay, try to hold me back while I try to get in.”

Three times I tried to block Daley but failed. On the forth time I managed to hold him back. After that it was easy.
“Now for something harder. Hold me back but call out to James. Got it? Go.” Again I closed off my mind and blocked Daley.

James? I asked and Daley got in.
“Again.”

Again I blocked Daley until I called to James. This time though James responded and I noticed a difference between the two. “Again.” It was me that spoke this time though.

Aha! I did it!
