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…68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHVH5dW2WZ

“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.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFeqpAT4KC

“Wait…”68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4zHM0L2uX

“Amy...I have something to tell you.”68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kgpu5ORPg

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.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KoDzZFZsM

“Would he do something like that?” I muttered. “I mean…”68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CTomaw6dG

“It’s understandable that she is a bit…”68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8KqyI13vu
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny7gXtrtAF
Again, her calmness frightened me. Her voice was cold and matter-of-fact. As though she knew something that I didn’t.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWTBHKCrhC

Did Jenny sense my thoughts? I think she did. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked at me and said. “What's wrong?”68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJaE088sCJ

"I think I should be the one asking you that question." I said. "What's wrong, Jenny?"copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fdiMaA9b7
"There's..." She began. "No...It's nothing. I..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE3TYxPttM
"Blackmail..." The voice whispered.copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ykPd6sEo
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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMDG5pRFz2
"Jenny..." I cried. " What about blackmail? Who's blackmailing who and how the hell do you know about it. Just tell me."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuHQnGoc9R
Jenny took a step back and stared at me, her face white. "How..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ZysOLyhq
"It doesn't matter how I know. I'm...I've just about had enough. Just tell me."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKcAqi0iYz
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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL32BrIZES
"Calm down." A gentle voice ordered.copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0RcsFY1X
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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYHBz8UzqS
"I'm sorry..." I muttered, awkwardly.copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LDcOfEwfi
"I have never seen the power in so young a person before." copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WpY9RE7T
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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwRj8qs20T
"Listen..." she said quietly. "I am going to give you one piece of advice and I want you follow it."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8EyltOZ04
"Why can I...How..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpbeOanGPu
"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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1rL9SdbS
"Why?"copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡ661LFmetle
"Even I don't know. But I do know this...It's not a boon...It's a curse..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDDJRsUf8K
"A curse?" I remembered the darkness...The irrational outburst I had just now...copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIbL9WU296
"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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgdV1SifmD
"I..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUh6E8yyoH
"Here's my advice. Keep to yourself for a few days and ignore the voice. It will fade away on it's own."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8puTzrOBB
"I..."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwR8sS0K7m
"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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAgFHUOgtc
"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 protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMknheXI3z
"You'll pass out and never wake up."copyright protection64ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY5b6x37ia
