Chapter 96

The whole thing was ridiculous but could not help but smile and roll my eyes at the thought of letting anyone else see something that she gave only to me. The video lasted a good 15-20 mins with her showing me all around her condo not leaving any room out. Including her daughters that looked to just have so much love in it by just seeing the designs on the wall and the art along with photos of her baby girl. I still had yet to know her daughters’ name or even see her on camera. Part of me wondered if it was because she was scared that I might turn away from her because she had a baby. I could tell she was private by not showing certain areas outside that would show landmarks or street names. I could tell she lived in a gated community that had a guard shack and lived close to the street so you could see passing cars when they drove by. It seemed to be a pretty private area when I could see there were lots of wooded like areas in the frame. It took me by surprise as I would definitely not be able to tell just by the woods where she lived. I could tell by how spotless her place was and how organized that was another thing we had in common, even though I was O.C.D with it all. I sometimes got crazy with it and could spiral if things weren’t the way I needed them.
The final spot was her bedroom that told me even more about her as it showed so much of her personality in the space that was quite large for a condo. "So I hope you enjoyed it and this is where I leave you wanting more.. ha-ha well that's a given. We can't seem to stop txting one another. I hope you have that voice of yours back soon so we can have that face-to-face video chat I've been wanting for over a week now. Well, this is my room and my private space so ya very new to all this video stuff, but Haley thought it would be good even though I'd already thought about it after she and Brian did it first leaving me feeling jealous" she said and blew me a kiss and a beautiful smile followed. The jet landed one the rough runway jolting me awake and woke me from my comfy little cocoon I was, in. I wasn't sure of the time which made me that more irritable especially when I felt like I had not slept long enough. My heart was racing so fast that I felt I could run for miles. Even after the jet had stopped where it was guided to, and my parents had the security team unload our things. They quickly put them in the back of the van that would take all of our things to the house they had rented. I just kept patting my chest and rubbing it since I really could not do much more than that. The way my heart was pounding faster than I was used to put me on a little of an edge.
My grandfather did a check and looked concerned after the little exam with his stethoscope and pressure cuff. "Not sure what's happening but maybe I should have some blood done and get it ran STAT" he said to my father. My mother Amelia refused to leave my side now as I was now unsteady on my feet. I could tell there was something going on with my mother but just could not put my finger on it. I closed my eyes and just laid my head down once we got settled into the SUV. She ran her fingertips through my hair taking me back to when I was little. When she had, do the same thing when she read to Ethan and I before bed and it made me feel safe when usually it irritated me. "She's your mother with unconditional love pouring through her veins and she'll get it right this time.. you've both been through so much and this next adventure is what you both need you'll see" Amelia said softly in my ear. I started seeing little flashes of light like they were long strings of light. Almost like little nerve endings you might see on a picture showing you things about your brain. I focused a little harder hearing a heartbeat rapidly beating and then behind it another one and as I thought about it and the area it was coming from, I turned my head up at my mother. "Wow...." I mouthed forgetting for a second that they did not even want me to use my voice or make a peep. I was still just at whispered at that point which made us both smile.
My mother looked down at me with confusion on her face and before I knew it, I was in a dream state along with my grandmothers, brother, and twin girls. Along with another little baby that looked to be just floating in the air on a little baby puff cloud. "Seriously what is happening right now... I hate being pulled into this state of mind. I'm too weak to fight or comprehend what is happening right now. I have now figured it out my mother is pregnant and I'm assuming that is who is floating right there..so what do you want from me?" I asked in such a tone that made it seem like I was not happy for my parents. Who probably did not even know they were pregnant. Amelia and Mia had sat me down as I was now pacing back and forth with the girls at my feet crawling now. At the moment I did not want to hold them with the feelings I was feeling. “What was the thing the other morning with Sebastian not able to see me and then basically transporting myself into my damn closet. I am seriously losing my damned mind, aren't I?" I asked. "Stop it, Stop it now.... you are not crazy please don't think that, your mother thought the same thing until she went to the nut hut and was put on these medications that keep her so blocked off that she'd probably die if she stopped taking them" "You've reached the age now that it's your decision to either follow in our footsteps and learn more. Or take the path your mother took and be closed off from it all except things she can see and feel from the real world" my grandmothers said as they started to get irritated in their own way.
I was trying to figure out what exactly my family possessed and that had been passed down through the blood line. My mother had ignored it and fought it, yet it made me question my grandmothers and them questioning me on if I wanted to be like them or my mother. "Well, I'm open minded to figuring out just what it is that makes me so special in the fact that I can hear the dead! Can transport myself from my bathroom to my closet and also go from dream state to dream state whenever or not whenever I want. So, don't I have time to decide and learn if I want it or not? If it's what is good for me and my life? I mean isn't that what mother did, or are there still things that you have yet to say or for me to see?" I was finally starting to relax needing more answers then just a blank question. Then for me to have to just answer without first knowing what I was getting into. I sat on the edge of the couch arm and bowed my head to just try and catch my breath. Then my brother appeared in front of me holding our little baby brother or sister who would be born in about 8 months.
The look on Ethan’s face told me this wouldn’t be easy, but he would do what he could to make it as easy as possible. "This little boy will need a big sister like you on his side and either way you choose its always going to be your call. I'm going to always be here for you just like the rest of us. You are such an amazing young woman, and your powers are only going to grow along with meaning behind them. You will do great things and like everyone tells you, you won't ever settle for less then what you're worth. You have greatness inside you, and you are a warrior, guardian... don't worry you'll understand shortly. Before you know it, you will understand why I kept you from doing things or at least tried. I need you to be careful and not use the gifts we were born with to waste it on things that right now you wouldn't understand" Ethan said as he placed our brother in my arms and stepped back. I did not let what he was saying overload me as I sat holding our little brother who was so small but so big at the same time. I could hear my mothers’ voice off in the distance with a little panic in her tone as she called out my name. I placed our little brother back into Ethan's arms and kissed the girls, goodbye. "I'll see you all soon, mother is frantic as you can tell" I said before stepping back and into the stream of dreams.
My eyes shot open frantically searching for something to grip onto so I could balance my already unsteady gate. My mother Amelia's eyes were full of fear, and I knew she was worried. I put my finger to my lips and "Shooshed" her when I still I could not talk and smiled trying to reassure her that I was fine. A second later we were pulling up to the gates of the estate my father had rented for our stay. My grandparents along with my aunt and uncle were in the car behind us as my father rode in the front seat with the driver. "Nothing but the best for my girls... so we'll relax for the rest of the day and then I have a couple of things to handle in the morning. After that I'm free and we'll get to do whatever, you want my darlings, and that list I know you both have on what you want to do before we leave" my father said opening the door and helping the both of us out.
