Story Notes:
Oh, boy. Would you believe this story came to me at 5am this morning? The darn plot wouldn't get out of my head and I ended up tossing and turning for an hour before giving up and getting out of bed. This story has pushed to the forefront of all my in progress stories, the plot tumbling together quicker than the others.

1. Prologue by JessicaRae [Reviews - 10] starstarstarstarstar (586 words)
This here is the prologue, a flashback in classic Psych style. I hope to get the first chapter up later today!

Here is Chapter one. Not a whole lot goes on and I hope I don't bore you! The next chapter will be much more exciting.

Thanks so much for all the reviews and I'm sorry for the delay of this chapter. The problem with writing a story inspired by a dream is that some major parts of the plot end up not working. I’ve taken a large plot point of this story out and am saving it for a different story. Don’t worry, this story is still going to go somewhere, just not in the original direction I had intended.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. It’s the most I’ve written with Shawn and Gus interacting together. I hope I kept them and everyone else in character! If Juliet seems a bit OOC at the end of this, there is a reason for it that will be explained in the next chapter. Oh, and there is a bit of Shawn/Juliet shipping in this story, but not too much more than what has been shown on screen. I suck at writing romance, so I doubt I’ll ever cross the relationship line with those two.

4. Chapter 3 by JessicaRae [Reviews - 14] starstarstarstarstar (10056 words)
First off, I am SO SO SO SO sorry for the long wait for this chapter. I was having some doubts about some areas of this story and I was stuck on a few plot points that I needed to figure out before writing this chapter. It is because of GBFreak that I am able to give you chapter three. She let me bounce my plot and ideas off of her and gave me great feedback. She also helped me on some of the plot points I was battling. So, many thanks go out to GBFreak! Now, this story is going to be very complex, at least to write. So bare with me. It should read just fine if I write it correctly. Here’s hoping I pull it off!

One other thing I just want to clarify is that this is not a story where Shawn gets real psychic powers. The title is more metaphorical than literal. When I first thought up this serial killer story, Shawn actually was supposed to get powers, but what I wanted to happen with that wasn’t going to work and was just one too many things to stir into the plot pot.

At any rate, I hope this chapter is worth the wait. It is 22 pages long and around 10,000 words, so hopefully that will tide you over for a little while. I promise the wait for the next chapter won’t be as long! Please review! I cherish every one of your comments!

Well, this took longer than I planned, but it's not as long as last time! I hope you like this chapter.

And, again, many thanks to GBFreak for her extra set of eyes. You rock!
