Gemini of Emreiana by Kristen DaRay Read Free Book Online

waits till an alien decides to visit me. Years I could have tried to handle these powers, and now they were just making me sick to my stomach. Why couldn't I have been born normal?
    Aunt Trish came through the door putting on an act of worry.
    "Oh honey! Come on now, let's get you home so you can rest!" She babied me. In many ways, she actually was worried. I could feel that. However, she knew the truth about what happened. I could feel her amusement that I had not listened to her in the first place about my powers. "You must be Nurse Peggy. Thank you, for taking care of her. She is the only family I have left, you know."
    Yeah right! I gave her a quick glare. How could she let everyone believe our family was dead! Trish shook Peggy's hand. Peggy placed her hand over her chest bemused by the compliment.
    "It's my job to help." Peggy's face was red with flattery.
    "Can we just go?" I slid off the table. I had enough of the lies for one day.
    "She's right. We must get her home to rest." Trish put her arm around my shoulder.
    "Make sure she eats her breakfast." Peggy guided us out the door.
    When we made it out to the car, I had to concentrate in order to be angry at Trish because her emotions were high, happy as a kite.
    "So how was school?" She mused.
    "I know what you're gloating about, so you can knock it off." I glared out the window.
    "What-ever are you talking about dear?" When she glanced over my way, I raised my brow.
     
    It was after I ate my lunch that I found myself with Aaron going over what I had missed my entire life. I was still unsure of how he got out of school early, but I didn’t bother to ask.
    "Before we start on your powers, I want you to know about your home planet." Aaronmon pulled out a small square tablet from his pocket. It was silver and shiny like a mirror. He swiped his hand over it and a hologram appeared.
    "What is that!" I grabbed the technology from him in fascination. I had only seen stuff like this on t.v!
    "It's an abula. Like the computers you use, except holographic." He snatched it away.
    "Stingy," I grumbled.
    "What?"
    "So, what are you going to teach me?" I asked.
    "History and Geography." He smiled. It sounded boring to me. I didn’t even care too much for those subjects in school here on Earth.
    Within a few hours, I had learned that Emréiana was a very old planet. Earth’s age multiplied by three, old. I learned that it did not have seasons like we did here on earth because its axis did not wobble like Earth's did. So for the main part, the planet kept the same temperature. There were not any strong storms, but they did get their share of rain. Actually, Emréiana got a lot of rain. Since there was no tilt, most of the planet was tropical; further north or south from Emréiana’s equator got a bit cooler. The poles got extremely frigid and dry. The poles also never received any sunlight.
    I learned that the planet had three moons: Raegon, Solonomon, and Hurmon. Raegon was the closest. The blue color made it look like it was covered in oceans, but really it was the color of its sand. They used Raegon to identify their weeks which were about five days. The next moon was Solonomon, used to identify half months which were six Raegon moons. The orange swirls on this moon reminded me of dream sickles. The last moon, Hurmon, was the most beautiful. It was made of a pure crystal like rock. Hurmon identified the months, which were twelve Raegon moons. The time it took Emréiana and its moons to travel around their star, Vova, was six Hurmon moons. They called a year an amona, or a full circle. I averaged it out, and it was only 5 days less than Earth.
    The beautiful thing was, no matter what time of day it was you always saw one of the moons or maybe even two. The sky and sun didn't wash it out during the day like Earth's did.
    Then we got into history. Emréians, had not always lived in the society they did now. There were a lot of civil wars before they came together with the
