Zweli
Zwakhe: did she just? .... nah she didn't but... no ways she has.... but how?
Amani was on the bed sleeping and l looked at my brother.
Me: So you saw it too?
Mom: Start from the beginning guys
Dad: I think we should call my mother for this. As if grandma knew we were talking about her she walked in smiling.
Grandma: Finally!!!
I looked at her confused.
Me: Finally?
Grandma: She is a gifted child.
Me: Gifted?
Grandma looked at me.
Grandma: I expect all those questions from him. She pointed at Zwake.
Grandma: Now how long as she been out?
Me: 4 min and 32 seconds
Zwakhe: You been counting?
Mom: Should I call her dad
Me: What if he doesn't know about them.
Lunwabo: Is our sister going to be okay? Everyone was lost here but my grandma was smiling.
I picked lunwabo and Luthando sat them by the couch in my room. I wish I had a manual on how to tell kids that they idol has powers.
Me: She fine. Its just that when she did that magic trick, her body couldn't take it.
Luthando: You mean when she did the invisible wall?
Me: Yes that one
Lunwabo: does she have powers like how uncle Zwakhe does?
I turned to look at my brother.
Me: You told them?
Zwakhe: They my best friend, ofcause I told them and showed them.
Me: You showed them what?
Zwakhe: shout at me later bro. Right now your wife getting up. I turned and saw her moving so I ran to her bedside.

Amani
I woke up to the whole family looking at me with smiles. Did I not do an invisible wall? And they smiling at me. A whole freak and they smiling at me.
Zweli: You good?
He was holding me as if I break
Me: Yep. Just so we clear, you saw what I did?
Zweli: Yeah
Me: And you still want me?
Zweli: Am confused
Me: I did a whole bubble out off my hands. Am not sure how and am not sure why and ....
He kissed me full blast in front of his family.
Zweli: I still want you
I grinned like a love sick puppy
Zwakhe: get a room guys.

Zweli
" technically you guys are in our room"
Dad: Well as you can see guys she perfectly fine.
Luthando: You fainted again sisi
Amani: don't tell dad about earlier on
Lunwabo: You have powers too?
Amani: Uhm
Me: It was a magic trick
Luthando: We 12 years old bhuti. We know magic doesn't exist.
I smiled at them.
Me: How about you go downstairs and get popsicles for us. They nodded as they left.
Grandma: How you feeling? She placed her hand on Amani
Amani: Dizzy but good
Grandma: I want to try something
I watched as she held Amani hand with her burning hand and she looked at my grandma confused. We all kept quite as that was suppose to burn her.

Amani
I watched as everyone was shocked.
Me: Uhm is something wrong?
Zweli: Did that burn?
Me: No
Zweli: was it hot?
Me: No
Grandma: Ill touch Zwakhe so you can see what it suppose to do
Zwakhe moved from his grandma.
Zwakhe: Why must I be the one being burnt so she can see that fire burns. Ngeke angivumi. Fire burns people and she knows that.
I watched as a fire ball flew to Zwake and am not sure how I managed but I threw a small round like disc from my hand stopping the fire ball. He jumped up and down screaming.
Zwakhe: That what am talking about. You saw that ninja throw? ...You wanted to burn me and she was like" not in my presence"
grandma threw one more ball and this time I sent a bigger disc to stop it. She than made two ,sent one to Zwakhe And one to Zweli. I dont know how I jumped out of bed and placed my body on Zweli to protect him and sending a disc to Zwakhe just as he was to be hit by a ball. I watched in fear as my father in law changed into a full blown Lion and he stood there looking at me.
Grandma: I want you to breathe okay, trust yourself and trust your powers they will lead you. She nodded and my father in law showed me his teeth and jump towards me as I raised my hands freezing him mid air as he roared. Everyone stood there looking at me. Am not sure when Grandpa Smanga walked in but he too changes to a bigger lion and jumped as I raised my hand and froze him as he was.
Zwakhe was dancing and screaming " that what am talking about.... holy fuck Amani!!!.... you cant mess with the triplets" i lowered them and watch them change to them normal self with grins.
Dad Siya: no one could ever stop that attack.Trust me iv been in contact with so many supernaturals in my life and Iv never come in contact with that power.
Grandpa: same here. You got skill.
Me: I just watch you guys change to lions.
My mind was processing that as they were praising me.
Grandma: There is so much that I need to teach you my child, Zweli cancel your honeymoon. Things have just gotten hectic, we going to mama Jade.
Zwakhe: Holy shit!!!!! Did you see what she did? ...fuck yeah show them wena dadewethu. Ow kodwa sisiwami
Mama Raya: Oh son, would you get a grib of yourself. She walked over to me and hugged me. Can I speak to Amani alone please before you all get carried away. Everyone looked at me and than at Mama Raya. And they slowly left the room leaving me and her.

Amandla
The flight was long and tiring. We got there and As soon as I landed my two feet on the grown I felt the air shift and I knew we entering a world with more than one supernatural being. I opened up my bag and took out a tiny bottle gave to Buhle to drink.
Buhle: You started
Me: Drink up
Buhle: No one...
Me: Please drink. She did and we walked to the cab as Buhle gave him directions. My stomach was un easy as we made our ride to the BnB. maybe its the nerves messing up with my senses.

Nkanyiso
