CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The next few days passed quicker than I could have imagined. Things with Jasper, Mica and Amber simmered down. A little. My conversation with Mica seemed to have cracked the possibility of her talking to him again. And while Mica still seemed miffed with Amber, venom no longer dripped in her every word when they spoke.

Baby steps. That was how we were all dealing with things.

The energy floating through the house had definitely kicked up a notch with all of the emotions and turmoil. It was impossible for me to not notice despite my newly remembered ability to control the energy around me. At times, it felt like I was walking through electrically charged soup. It could be exhausting.

It hadn’t escaped my attention either that O’Brien Pharmaceuticals had fallen to the back burner. With the return of our memories, my nearly fatal reaction to the drug, and the dysfunctional dynamic that ensued meant our relationships had taken a beating. However, things slowly seemed to be mending. There had been a lot of conversations over the past few days, not just between Amber, Mica and Jasper but between all of us and Father.

It seemed Flint wasn’t the only one angry with Father. Jasper, Mica and Amber were too. That wasn’t surprising considering what happened. To try and deal with it, Father sat with all of them and talked through things while Di defended Father’s decision vehemently. Di was so devoted to Father he probably could have run her over with a two-ton truck and she would have merely stood up and brushed herself off.

And then there were our additional powers to deal with.

Just like I’d remembered my ability to see plant and animal clouds, and my elusive ability to join clouds into energy balls, the twins had also remembered their abilities to manipulate emotions and thought patterns, and Di had remembered her ability to control her visions. Mica could do more too, but she seemed more preoccupied with Jasper than on discovering how to control it.

Needless to say, it had been a whirlwind of a week.

I slipped on a pair of socks as I sat on a counter stool. Scents of pasta pescatore floated through the air. We were all in the kitchen at the moment, helping to prepare supper. I took heart in that. It was the first time all week the nine of us were together in one room and nobody was fighting.

My gaze lingered on the view as I pulled my pants back over my socks. The desert was awash in the fading sun. A few birds of prey circled in the sky, and the mountains glowed purple. The sun glinted off the huge dining table that easily seated ten. It sat at the edge of the kitchen, running parallel to the monstrous windows. The view from the dining table was impressive, to say the least.

Father and Jacinda cooked at the stove. Steam billowed up from the kettle boiling the pasta, while the sauce simmered gently in a separate pan.
