Claire
I gave the vision my absolute focus as I didn’t want to miss even the tiniest detail.
Tessa was with another girl her age - they looked about eight, making me guess it’s this same year I got out of coma- and they mostly just sat and talked, other than that, they each had a book they read.
On a not-so-distant part of the park, James was sitting quietly next to Reggie who kept trying to get him to play. I understood the expression on his face, I’ve seen it a lot of times to understand it whenever; he was in his private world and from the dark circles under his eyes, I could guess he’s been there for a while.
I knew what was going to happen next, Tessa would see James and recognize him, it just had to be that.
Tessa’s friend suddenly stood up, closing her book and snatching Tessa’s book too.
“I don’t want to be a huge nerd, no one comes to the park to read.” The girl said to Tessa, wh
“Because I had to kidnap your brother.”"Kidnap?! Why?!" Catherine didn't reply until they were inside the basement and down the stairs. The place was fixed up with camping gear to look more inhabitable; there were tents, sleeping bags, snacks and the very blanket from my vision where James sat with Tessa and Catherine."What happened to the basement?""I fixed it up for you guys." Catherine said in reply to Tessa's question. She made them sit side by side before sitting as well, across from them.She looked at one, then the other... They looked nothing alike to me, Tessa must look like her mother and James... Well, now that I think about it, he looks more like Frank."You said you wanted to be with James, didn't you?" She said directly to Tessa who nodded slowly."There was no other way to bring James here except to kidnap him. I want you two to be together, at least before..." She cut herself off, looking away. You need not be
Once again, I was looking back at Tessa and I was back in the hospital."Claire! James!" I straightened at Abigail's voice. Dad and Abigail just came into the hospital's hallway then, both worried."Abigail!" James squealed, running into Abigail's waiting arms."I texted them our location." Jacey said from next to me."Are you alright? Were you hurt?" Dad was asking James, before he turned to me."Who kidnapped him? Where did you find him?""It's all a misunderstanding." Antonio answered for me, getting a surprised look from Dad and Abigail."A misunderstanding?" They asked in unison."Yes, I'll explain..." The doctor, coming out of Catherine's room cut me off. He searched all our faces before stopping on Dad's."Are you the family of the patient?""Wh...?""Yes! Is she okay?" I said louder, interrupting Dad before he could ruin my plan."I... I have to speak to someone about her condition." Th
It was gradually getting bright outside and it was cold too. I was panicking a bit but I didn't want it to show so I don't get questioned by Antonio. I know he told me to trust him, but I just have a really bad feeling that something extra huge would happen and not the good type. Would Antonio get badly hurt? Will Frank help us catch Renee? He should, I mean, won't he want his freedom from a psycho? What if she escapes? "Claire, did you forget I can hear your thoughts?" Shoot! I forgot that. "Shh, I'm trying to..." He paused for a second and I knew for a fact that he just had a vision. But why didn't I get one too? "Claire..." He began with a deep serious voice. "Can you do me a favour?" His eyes were focused on the road but I could tell how hard they were in the dim light. "What favour?" "Well, since you missed my birthday a few months ago, how about you do this as a late birthday present." A scary smile was playing on his lips. "You'
Matt So, things can get a lot confusing. What I do want to understand is why my kid can't have a normal life filled with a lot of happiness and stability. Alright, so after Claire and Antonio just up and left us at the beach, we tried to run after them since it seemed serious but they left in a flash and they took the jet. Abigail and I had to wait or call them, but since they weren't picking up, waiting it was! The jet finally came back for us and as soon as we got to Raleigh, I received a text message from Jacey, asking us to come to the hospital. You know how it is, I had a billion emotions and not one made sense. Is Claire hurt? What about James? Why the hospital? Why so early in the morning? What the actual hell happened?! All my questions would be answered at the hospital, so I had to keep myself calm and take myself and my beautiful fiancée to the hospital.
Claire (For the rest of the book) I was floating; I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, just floating. Where am I? Who... who am I? Would I be able to see again? Would I be able to... I saw a light, it was small but it was all I needed. I was staring at a ceiling, feeling so lost, I couldn't move. Then it came flooding... all my memories, everything. I could remember my childhood with my parents, the joy I felt when I heard my mom was pregnant after I was an only child for ten years, the sadness and loneliness I felt when my Dad left, then having to deal with Frank's abuse, mom dying and Dad coming back... Everything after that, including how I disliked Abigail, meeting my Aunt and Cousin, encountering Frank in the old house where he could have harmed me if Nicholas wasn't there. There were bits that didn't add up, but then I could remember how I discovered my psychic abilities when I read my mom's dairy and got transported to the past, I al
I decided to let it go for the mean time. After all, Frank deserved to be in jail for being abusive... Yet, Mom's dead anyway and I'm the only other person he was abusive to, if I forgive him, what's the point of him being in jail? Does Dad know Frank's James birth father? What do I do? "Tessa has been so gloomy, she's barely eating and always crying... It affects James too." Abigail said sadly. "Well, she's his sister and even if he had just met Catherine, she's still his family. Catherine was..." I stopped when I noticed the shocked expression on their faces. They didn't know? How have they been together for two weeks and they don't know? "Tessa is James's sister?" Dad asked. "Yes, she's Frank's daughter from his first wife. Catherine was his cousin and she raised Tessa." "James knows about this? You... you know?" Dad sounded so hurt that I couldn't figure out why and his thoughts were jumbled up, making it hard for me to read them.
I was still thinking about this when Abigail knocked lightly on my door and came in. "Hi!" "What's wrong?" She had a kind of nervous look. "Nothing really, I just wanted to make sure you're okay." I laughed at her. "You guys worry a lot, why won't..." I stopped when I felt a pain in my head like before. I guess this is the down side of being a psychic, I get to deal with frequent headaches. "Are you alright?" Abigail was on the bed next to me in an instant. "Yeah, just a little headache." "Don't stress yourself, rest more. Come on, under the covers." I grinned like a little kid and obeyed her, getting under the covers. "Yes, Mom. Will you read me a bedtime story?" "Don't tease me." She said, laughing. "Get under the covers too. You want to make sure I'm okay, right?" Just saying those words made my head ache again. What's wrong? "Are you sure you're okay?" Abigail asked as she studied me, in-betw
When I got to my room, I was relieved to find that it was empty; I really didn't want Abigail to see me like that. I made for my bathroom and shut the door, flopping down on the floor. Did I want to remember Jason? Of course I wanted to but I had no idea how. Shouldn't I have a bonus psychic ability that can help me search for missing memories? When I lost my memories the other time, I found my mom's dairy and unlocked a new ability. But now... 'Seriously? You found your mom's dairy?' I was startled to hear someone's voice. But I was alone in the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door to look into my room but no one was there. The only other person that could communicate with me using telepathy was Jacey; but this voice was not hers and it's very obvious it's via telepathy. 'Okay yeah, you found the dairy but you needed my help to get to it, you couldn't even move.' The voice said again. 'Who are you? W-where are you?' I asked telepathically. So, yes! M
