Chapter Four

(Gemma's POV)

"Mom, I'm home." I say. "Are you ok, dear?" She asks coming out of her bedroom. "You sound dull. Do you need me to bring your meds?" She says looking concerned. "No, that's ok Mom, I was just thinking about Dad is all." I reply. After my Father died we've had more bonding time since it was just us, so we speak very gently and respectfully to one another. Sometimes, I like to think it's just me and her against the world. "Oh, w-would you like to talk about it?" She says and I can see the emotional energy just radiating off of her. It's not just blue though, I think I can see some blotches of red in it. Anybody could recognize those two emotions. Anger and sadness. I sigh. "I think it would just be better for me to sleep it off. The feeling will go away sometime."

I look outside and see...snow...more and more snow. Sometimes, I wish it would just stop! I've always wanted to travel to a different zone...except Mobius, I would hate to go to Mobius. I hear there is an awful ruler over the land that no one can stop, except one blue hedgehog. I look at my alarm clock and see its 10:00 in the morning, even though its still dark. Its dark half the year.

I get up to make some eggs for my Mother and I. I sit down at the table to read the book I haven't been paying much attention to. It's about this girl who's a compulsive liar. The boyfriend has two girlfriends so he's basically cheating and then he dies. I'm not really interested in it. I get back up to get the toast that was baking out of the oven. I burnt it... again. Oh well. As I'm walking through the hallway, I glance up at the family pictures, when it was us and my Father.

I knock on the door gently just in case she's still asleep. I don't hear anything. I don't feel any emotional energy either. I was born with this power. The power to manipulate and identify emotions. I open the door to wake her up. I see a lump on the bed and wonder if my powers just aren't working. I come closer to her and shake her to wake her up. She doesn't feel like she usually feels. She feels...lifeless. I pull the covers off and see that it was...a lump of pillows? Seriously, Mom? Always trying to trick me. I glance around the room and see papers all over the other side of the bed. As I go through the papers, I hope that I don't find anything confidential.

One of the papers is something I never thought I'd see. It says, and I quote, "Regarding your earlier message asking if we could send a zone search team to find your husband, we have located him in Mobius. We ask that you or your daughter if you are not available will meet uas soon as possible. Sincerely, Anonymous."
