TALENT

My little sister Zoe is 13 now.

I really love her and
I think I owe her my life.

I was 7 years old when she was born and I was so excited to finally have a little sister.
At first, I was jealous that she's  getting a lot of my parent's attention.

However, that all changed on the day I realized that my sister has a special talent.

We were sitting on the couch watching TV  when Zoe suddenly said
"Daddy isn't coming home."
hearing this I was a bit confused and didn't pay much attention to what she just said.

I was quite unnerved by this and tries to understand what she said and about an hour ago, the phone rang.

When I answered the phone there was a police officer on the other line and sounded gravely serious.

He explained that there had been a traffic accident and my mom was in the hospital with relatively minor injuries but my dad didn't make it.He was dead on arrival.

The next few hours were a blur & I just switched off the TV and sat there in shock starring at the blank screen.

They say Zoe was too young to grasp the situation but she understood that dad was gone and he wasn't coming back.

Almost a year later,
there was another incident.

It was a nice,warm and sunny day.Zoe and I was at the park.
She was playing on the grass when all of a sudden she stopped and pointed at something.
"That's a bad man over there," she said. "We need to go."

When I looked in the direction she was pointing at, I saw a man nearby.
He was dressed in a grey hooded sweatshirt.
He had his hands in his pockets and seemed to be waiting for someone,but something about him seemed strange.

With the memory of our father's death still fresh in my memory,I didn't asked Zoe anymore.I simply grabbed her hand and together we hurried walk back home.

The next morning, my mother was reading the newspaper and I noticed the headline on the front page
'MOTHER AND DAUGHT STABBED TO DEATH IN A PARK'.
Beneath it was a picture of a police officer leading away a man in handcuffs and it was the man yesterday in a grey hooded sweatshirt.

Upon seeing this,a chill ran down my spine.Any doubts I had before were immediately quashed.

My little sister definitely had a talent.

From that day on, I listened carefully to anything she had to say and I would write is down in a notebook I kept in my room.

One day,when Zoe was 6 years old,it happened again.

We were at a restaurant when Zoe dropped her fork,looked at my mother & I and said,"Grandpa's gone."

As soon as she told that,my mother got a phone call telling her that our Grandpa had passed away in his sleep.

Mom was very upset but she had been prepared for the bad news and it was the last prediction for a long time.

As the years passed, I gradually forgot about Zoe's talent.

It got to the point where I began to dismiss it all as a coincidence.

However,last week I got a
text message from her.

;I have a terrible feeling something is going to happen.You and Megan need to get out of there.Got to a hotel or something,just get out of there.

Without hesitation I immediately called my girlfriend(Megan), forced her to pack some things in a suitcase and rushed her out of our appartment.

We went to a nearby hotel and booked a room for a night.

The next moring, I got a call from our neighbor.She said that our apartment had been broken into but strangely nothing had been taken.When she heard noises, she immediately called the police and they arrested the intruder.

Turns out, the intruder was Megan's mentally unstable ex-boyfriend.
He was armed with a knife and he was planning to kill us both.

As the cops arrested him,my girlfriend turned to me and asked,"How did your sister know?".

I was speechless and numb.

Without Zoe we would have been killed.

Nobody believes it and
my girlfriend was still sceptical.

But I know what happened.

My sister has a talent.
