Just like when I went to Los Angeles with my Aunt and cousins, the plane only had us onboard, when I say “us” I mean, my Dad, Antonio and I. Is it a thing for rich people? Traveling on an aircraft alone? Where’s the fun in that?“No nuisance, that’s the fun.” I turned a frown to Antonio, he could read my mind again. His idea of bonding was to teach me stuff about psychics and now my mind is an open book to him again. Besides that, we could communicate without saying anything and we can share visions too. Well, I guess that’s useful... right?“Get out of my head.”“Make me.” He smirked. I so badly wanted to slap that smirk off.“This is what you wanted, right? To get into my head? Now you can’t tell me how to block you out.” He chuckled.“If you want me out of your head, you’ll figure a way to block me out.”“You...”&ldquo

“It’s true!” James put in. What in the actual hell? Did they brainwash him?“What did they do to you?”“Nothing. They didn’t hurt me, I promise! They were nice all the time.” He was actually smiling, which was getting me more confused.‘You should read the girl. The only way to find out if they are saying the truth is to read her past.’ Antonio had a point but how do I go about doing it?“Look, I don’t believe you one bit. Gimme your hand.” Jacey ordered. For some reason, she’s especially mean to Tessa. She made to take the girl’s hand but Tessa moved away.“Don’t touch me!”‘Claire, she hates Jacey and you guys are the only ones who can read pasts. Get her to give you her hand.’ I nodded to Antonio’s suggestion. It’s really amazing how someone can communicate secretly; I was loving every bit of it.&lsqu

“You’ll be fine, just imagine that she’s your beloved... James, was it?” She turned around triumphantly and made for the door, grabbing her purse and keys on her way out. Frank had a sour look on his face, like he could throw up any second. And the object of his disgust chose that moment to walk into the kitchen.“Good morning!” Tessa said cheerfully to him, climbing a stool. Frank didn’t reply, he gulped down the contents of the soda can and threw the it into the trash can, walking away.“Wait! I need breakfast.” Tessa called after him but he totally ignored her as he made for the sitting room, lying down on the couch.“Hmm...” Tessa jumped down from the stool and went over to stand next to him.“I need breakfast.” She repeated. Frank kept his eyes glued to the ceiling.“I can’t make cereal for myself because I always make a mess and Cathy hates it when I mak

“...ess so.” I was staring back at Tessa. I was back in the hospital and everyone was around me but I wanted to go back to Tessa’s past, I needed to know more about Renee.‘Claire?’ Antonio called in my head.‘How long was I gone?’ I asked, telepathically.‘How long? You just took her hand.’‘It felt like months.’ He chuckled in my head.‘Trust me, if it takes that long to read a person, no one would want to do it.’“Are you okay?” I looked back into Tessa’s eyes, so glad I got to meet her. Now I’m one step closer to catching my mother’s killer.‘I think I found out who murdered my mother...’ I said to Antonio.‘I know, did you forget you’re an open book now? Hold her hand with the both of yours and finish that vision.’ I mentally nodded and placed my other hand on Tessa’s.The v

“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
