I take the bike for a ride around the subdivision, admiring the estates as I pass by them, one-by-one. I even stop at the private neighborhood beach to admire the Bay and examine my new bicycle further. It’s such a smooth ride.

I return back to Summer Estates quickly, anxious to discuss what is going on with me. As soon as my bike is parked safely in the garage, I wrap my arms around my grandmother. “Thank you so much. I don’t know how to thank you.”

Rose laughs. “You just did. I’m glad you like it. Did you wish for it?”

I think about the first time I saw the bicycle on the day in the shopping center parking lot. Charlotte and I were shopping. “I guess I did. How did you know?”

Rose winks at me. “I told you it was a day for magical things, didn’t I?”

Charlotte walks behind me to the back window. Rose’s expression becomes serious now. She leans forward. “I have one more present for you, Kat. This present is a family heirloom that you must guard with your life. It’s a family tradition that you receive this on the Summer Solstice after your 16th Birthday.”

She reaches to the right of her. Another gold wrapped package is presented before me. I take it slowly, already knowing what it holds inside. I look up at Rose, then Charlotte. Both carry expectant looks as they stare at the box I’m now holding. My vision.

A shiver races down my spine. I unwrap the gold package unable to keep my hands from shaking. Inside the jewelry box is the same green stone that I’ve seen before. And now that I’m close, I realize that it’s the same stone that I saw in Rose’s den. It’s an amethyst crystal.

“It’s beautiful.” I say breathlessly, more freaked out by the vision.

Next thing I know, Charlotte is behind me, gently placing the ancient stone around my neck. I reach for it instinctively and grab my heart necklace too. I will wear them both.

“What’s wrong, Kat?” Charlotte’s question is almost expectant. As if she knows the answer.

What overcomes me is a mixture of fear, anxiety, curiosity, the happiness of getting my dream bike, forgotten in this moment. Something strange is happening and I need answers.

Unable to suppress my emotion, a tear falls from the corner of my eyes and I swipe it away. “What is going on?” I whisper this now. “So many strange things have been happening and this day has confirmed all of it. You know something and you aren’t telling me – but you need to tell me now.”

Rose is still smiling and it’s as if I’m going to explode. How can she be smiling right now? I’m so lost and confused. Strange things are happening. My dreams are starting to come true. I try not to think of the dreams I had when I first arrived at Apollo Beach, the fire, and vase. Rose finally opens her mouth to speak. “Okay. But it will help if you tell me what’s been going on.
