Prologue

     "I know they are both gifted. You said any children we had would be."

" No I said any children we had might be gifted. There is always a chance we could have normal children. I guess our girls were the next in line to be."

"I don't believe you! I am going to talk to the doctor and if he tells me different you will be in trouble."

"John I swear to you the girls are normal."

" I told you I am going to talk to the doctor I will be back in one hour."

   "Natasha, Amanda come in here please."

" What do you want Mommy?" Amanda asks. "Okay you know how you have been practicing with how to control your gifts, well now we need to learn how to hide it as well. Both of you must never let your father know you have gifts. I don't know what he has planned or is planning but if he finds out it can't be good. So please learn this okay. What do you say girls?"

" Alright Mommy I'll learn."

"And you Amanda?"

"I'll learn Mommy I promise."

" That's my girls, I won't let him hurt you and right now this is the only way I can keep you safe. So lets get to the practice room and get to work, ready?"

     "Now both of you sit down and relax the way we usually do. Good now instead of sending it out of you I need you to pull it in to you. First you Tasha, now start slowly at first. Good girl, that's it. Can you feel the difference?"

"Yes Mommy its easier to send it out though."

" I know baby, but when your older you will understand and you will be much stronger than you are now. Now that you have it pulled in I want you to think of a really big wall with a door. Now I need you to close and lock the door. Great job, now Amanda its your turn. That's right honey do it just like Tasha did. Good you both did very well. Now I know its hard for you to understand this since your both only five but I knew you would be able to do this. Now the only way to release your full strength with be by both of you unlocking the door at the same time. I know you both will be so much stronger. Okay now both of you come here Mommy needs a hug." "Yes Mommy!"

"And Tasha one more thing, since your the oldest. But Mommy if we are twins then how am I the oldest? Well baby you were born two minutes before Amanda so that makes you the oldest. Anyway you will have to look out for your sister. I won't always be here to protect you so I need your help okay. And the most important thing you can do to protect each other is to make sure your father never finds out your gifted."

"But why Mommy?"

"Tasha I don't want to scare you but I am afraid something very bad will happen if he finds out."

     The girls look at each other then at their mother and agree to keep the secret and protect each other. "We promise to never let anyone know."

" Good and you must always be careful. Never ever forget that okay. Now go play and act normal before your father gets home."

" Okay Mommy, do you want to play store with us?"

" Alright girls lets go, but we can't play long I still have to cook dinner."

     As Tia and the girls went downstairs there was a knock at the door. Standing at the door was a cop with a four and a half year old child. She is Janet Tia's niece. The cop tells Tia that both her sister and brother in law were killed two days ago. And that their will states that if Tia accepts the responsibility Janet is now hers. Tia agrees right away and Janet and the girls go upstairs while she signs the papers needed for the court.

     A week passes before John comes home. And for some strange reason he is nice to everyone. Tia is hoping that he forgot about the fight and accepted what she said. Sadly later that night Tia gets a surprise. A stranger, one of John's so called friends drops by for a visit. He only stays for a few minutes but talks with John outside for twenty minutes. When John comes in he looks at Tia and the girls and says "I see." Then walks away. This scares Tia so she puts the girls to bed and waits for the storm to hit. Unfortunately the girls got scared when he said I see so they didn't go to bed when they should have. Instead they quietly followed Tia back downstairs and watched.

When John comes in Tia stands by the table and waits. John says, "You lied to me they are all gifted, even that brat of your sisters. Chase tells me he can feel it. All three of them are gifted but it's restrained somehow. Now make them release it, I can use their power to make money."

"No, that's impossible the doctor said the twins were normal. I don't know about Janet her mother never told me anything. Maybe she is gifted and that's what he felt."

"Come on women he said he felt three different mind touches."

" Oh now come on of course he felt three minds, they all have one."

Tia if you don't make them cooperate I swear I will kill you and them as well."

You will never harm those girls. You don't even love them. Why don't you just leave us alone."

" That's it I will make you listen. You will do as I say."

     As all of this is happening Tasha runs to the phone and dials 911. When John starts to go after Tia Tasha drops the phone grabs the girls and runs. While the phone hangs the the cops hear everything. When the cops come in John is standing over Tia's body and the girls are running down the road.

     A female cop get A out of the car and goes after the girls while five large male cops go in and take John down. They drag him out and put him in a police car. The female cop brings the girls back to the house, but she won't let them go inside. Natasha hears her name being called so she goes in,  and the other two follow her. The cop tries to hold them back but it doesn't work. The medic shakes her head once so the cop stops fighting them and lets them go.

     Tia looks at Tasha and says, " Tasha darling please remember your the oldest. I need you to do your best to take care of your sisters."

" I will Mommy." Tasha agrees. "

Tia looks at the girls, touches their cheeks, takes their hands and says, "I love you all." Then she dies.
