10.

"Yes, I can see him. " Natalie confirmed. "And what? "

"And what?! " I shouted. "Why didn't you tell me?! "

"Why would I do this? " She replied.

"Mom! Do you know how I felt? Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy, and now you're telling me that you knew about everything? You lied to me all this time... "

"Lydia, calm down. I wanted what's the best for you. " She said.

"Oh, really? Somehow it didn't work out. Why didn't you tell me anything? " I repeated the question.

"Because I didn't want you to go through the same thing as me. It was better that way. "

"Better? For whom? Mom, you've been hiding the truth from me for so long. Have you seen him all the time and ignored him? "

"You know, it wasn't easy..." She glanced at boy briefly.

I sat down on the couch and hid my face in my hands. Stiles walked over and sat down next to me. Brunet raised his hand to correct the lock of my hair that was falling over my face. I knew he wouldn't be able to touch me, but still, I felt a gentle breeze that straightened my hair. I glanced at him and he smiled.

"Lydia..." I heard my mother's voice. "I really wanted the best for you. "

"I know. But somehow it didn't work out. Auntie sees them too, right? "

Woman said nothing, just nodded her head as a sign that I was right.

"You knew her secret, and still thought she was crazy? It's your sister. "

"It's not like that. The fact is, I knew the truth, but we decided that we wouldn't spread it. Only your dad knows the truth. "

"Great. Anyone else know? I must be the last to know about everything. "

"I was hoping that you wouldn't receive this gift. "

"Why? "

"Because the whole gift is a curse! " She screamed. "The gift is passed down from generation to generation. Your grandma Lorraine had it too. She told me and Rose how wonderful it was. That thanks to him, he can help many people. She said it was our destiny and a curse at the same time. "

"And you think it is more of a curse. " Stiles said, but woman didn't react to his words.

"Can you stop it? " I asked my mother.

"What? "

"Ignoring him. You see him, you could answer. " I looked at boy, and then back at my mother.

"I could. " She looked at Stiles. She looked at him for a moment and then continued. "Yes. It's a curse to me. "

"Why? " I asked.

"You're smart, guess. "

"You're scared, aren't you? " Natalie wanted to say no, but I cut her off. "If grandma said that you can help others thanks to it, why do you consider it a curse? Have you tried to help anyone thanks to it?"

Woman didn't answer, just lowered her head sadly and I already knew the answer.

"I thought so. " I got up and walked over to her. "So help me at least. "

She looked at me.

"With what? "

"I have to help him wake up. " I pointed to Stiles. "We've tried everything, but... "

"Stop it. " She said right away.

"What? But... "

"Let it go. " She said. "And don't think I don't know how much you care about him, because I do. But you can't save everyone... " Added in a low voice.
