What in the world? The voice in my head muttered several times as some women calmed Daisy and took her away to a room. Uncle Elias stood at the center, grief burning in his dry eyes. Many people standing in the living room kept staring at him. An explanation…That’s what they wanted. But they didn’t dare ask…129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecuOBv8Zs

“I think it’s time we went.” Someone whispered beside me. Jenny…She was calm, almost startlingly so, despite the insanity that was going around us.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJxOWElTwQ

“Wait…”129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvjEkXMsb

“Amy...I have something to tell you.”129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdphNifTk

And she pulled me away. Even as we walked out of the gate, I heard Aunt Daisy’s screams. She was cursing Uncle Elias…She wanted nothing more than to see him hanged.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULOPGXIgqu

“Would he do something like that?” I muttered. “I mean…”129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaJKTumWcJ

“It’s understandable that she is a bit…”129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PpzqAgO3e
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RoOChiYdv
Again, her calmness frightened me. Her voice was cold and matter-of-fact. As though she knew something that I didn’t.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFCeWypadS

Did Jenny sense my thoughts? I think she did. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked at me and said. “What's wrong?”129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2JPRm79ll
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF41hiXPI83
"I think I should be the one asking you that question." I said. "What's wrong, Jenny?"copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Jh894rro
"There's..." She began. "No...It's nothing. I..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ouZ0Wkor
"Blackmail..." The voice whispered.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡilCNejQjdD
At that point, I completely lost it. I was tired of hearing vague phrases and words, not knowing who was thinking what...It was infuriating - like having only five pieces of a jigsaw and trying to figure out what the whole picture was. copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUMhcVqgnS
"Jenny..." I cried. " What about blackmail? Who's blackmailing who and how the hell do you know about it. Just tell me."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7S3CS4yds
Jenny took a step back and stared at me, her face white. "How..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvNBj1V9l8
"It doesn't matter how I know. I'm...I've just about had enough. Just tell me."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT3AafvAvS
People were staring but I didn't care. I kept yelling at her to tell me, while she just kept staring at me. Someone pulled me away from Jenny back into the house and into into an empty room. copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡta0meCeibr
"Calm down." A gentle voice ordered.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWxMfzIpV
She was an old woman, surely above seventy years of age. Her kind face was full of wrinkles. Her brilliant blue eyes were full of a quiet sense of power.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOTNZ9iAF
"I'm sorry..." I muttered, awkwardly.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qbp4OEmZ
"I have never seen the power in so young a person before." copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57a2FXifFI
It was as if I was struck by a lighting bolt. I stared at her, trying to at least ask one question but my voice got stuck somewhere in my throat.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡawVZqIZA1z
"Listen..." she said quietly. "I am going to give you one piece of advice and I want you follow it."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdC5p1adFw
"Why can I...How..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLDnOil7x1
"Girl..." She said gently. "There are some people who are very good at reading others. They can see through lies and deception. they can sense when others are feeling down. They are very good listeners and have a wonderful memory for even the most trivial things they hear.One day they find that they have access to something they shouldn't have. The thoughts and memories of other people."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIyLIYuHzv
"Why?"copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJTU8V4lB
"Even I don't know. But I do know this...It's not a boon...It's a curse..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmeWaxii5
"A curse?" I remembered the darkness...The irrational outburst I had just now...copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7NRTwQndp
"The power grows stronger every day. It wouldn't be long before you understand what that means. Most go insane, unable to make sense of it."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡTueCn8Kic6
"I..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNFg1CrzUJ
"Here's my advice. Keep to yourself for a few days and ignore the voice. It will fade away on it's own."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeRr5KYW7c
"I..."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GzD4InnU
"Listen to me, girl. Using this power will take a lot out of you. Remember what I said about going insane? That's the best outcome."copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡthH9xJLZiG
"What's the worst?" All the information was overwhelming. I wasn't scared but that was probably because my brain was still processing the things I just heard.copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVzp0knXr
