have no element of surprise if they go against me.
    We explained everything that happened with them at the warehouse to my mother. I told her how I tapped into another power by controlling the water and that was how we escaped them. She listened to everything we said and even after we were done she didn’t seem to have anything to say.
    “I guess we will keep a close watch on them then, but I don’t get a bad vibe from them, in fact I feel very strongly that they are telling the truth. But if what you said is true then maybe they are deceiving me yet again.” She looked lost in thought as she made her way up to her bed for the night.
    I walked Zack to the door and before I even realized what I was doing it was out of my mouth and in the air before I could stop it. “Can you stay the night?” I asked with a little venerability showing in my eyes.
    His stroked my cheek lightly with his thumb as he looked me in the eyes. I tried to look away but he held firm using his mesmerizing gaze to glue my eyes to his.
    “I would love to,” he said as he leaned in and kissed me. Gently at first, but it grew more fierce the more I kissed him back.
    I realized that I wanted him in a way that was very inappropriate for our age no matter the world we came from. I pushed away slightly and held his hand and tugged him up to my room.
    I went to quickly shower and change in the bathroom and when I came back out I realized he was already asleep. I took his shoes off and threw my spare blanket over him while sliding under my blanket already on my bed. I lay with my arm wrapped around him and he rolled over and pulled me closer to him. I loved this feeling. Being held by the guy you love while falling asleep in his arms. It felt weird, but also very good to have this. To finally have Zackary the way I have wanted him for so long. It was like my own piece of Heaven.
    “Rest your mind it is keeping me awake,” he said half asleep and I felt him stiffen as he opened his eyes wide. “What the heck Jackie? I can hear your thoughts. All of them!”
    He sat up, ran a hand through his messy hair and looked at me incredulously. “How is that possible? What are we missing that we haven’t been told?” He asked me over and over again
    I was at a loss for words. What am I supposed to say? Um, I’m not trying to have you hear my thoughts and I bet our parents know more than they let on.
    Then he said, “Jackie just stop thinking you’re too loud in my head.”
    I flew out of bed and as I rushed to the door I said, “I’m going to get my mother.”
    He stood up and ran to her with me.
    “MOM!” I yelled as I rushed to her door and opened it without even thinking. She was sitting at her vanity absently mindedly brushing her hair and crying. “Mom,” I said again and added, “we have a huge problem and what’s wrong?”
    She looked at me and wiped her tears away before responding, “Your father, this week has been so hard without him, it makes what Olivia said sound better. That I could have my husband back is something that I have long since tried to forget. But now, with you and your powers and his twin telling me he’s alive, it’s too much.”
    When she was done she didn’t even give me time to react, she got up and called Zack’s parents before we went into the kitchen. Zack made tea and cocoa for everyone while I twiddled my thumbs impatiently waiting for their arrival.
     

A New Power
    “I have never heard of this,” my mother told us an hour ago. Now it was one in the morning and we were crowded around the table with his parents and my mother trying to figure out what was happening to him.
    He explained that he was asleep when he heard what I was thinking and thankfully he left all of that out. Perhaps it’s because he heard me beg him not to tell them the details of my thoughts. I felt his reassurance that he wouldn’t say anything rather than him telling me he wouldn’t. I have no idea how we became so in tuned to each
