The Carrie Stallman Case
Carrie Stallman. Carrie Stallman wasn't even a witch. But her sister was. Why was she not? Usually it skips a generation, not just a random person. But this time, it did in fact just skip a random person. And Carrie was not a fan of that. Middle of the night her older sister Beth was sleeping and planned on sleeping the rest of the night. But Carrie had a different plan for the rest of the night. Carrie walked right up to the bed, knife in hand.
Two days later Carrie got hung for murdering her sister Beth.

"What does that mean?"
Jake asks almost with a hint of anger within his words.
"Well, I stopped the truck. With my hand, or wait, no, I guess my mind. Kind of. Ughh"
You stumble across your words trying to explain the impossible.
"Your saying you moved a truck with your mind?"
Now he's talking to you like your five.
And mental. A mental five year old.
"Well actually, it's called time manipulation if you want to be technical."
You correct him trying to ease up the awkward with a little joke.
It doesn't work.
"Your telling me that you are a witch. That's one of the seven wonders. I'm not dumb."
The sounds of anger around his words are getting louder.
You just nod then look away.
"Show me."
He sounds stale and icy now.
"What?"
You don't think you heard him right. If he wants you to show him does that mean he believes you?
"I want to see. Show me."
He sounds very confident in what he wants you to do.
"Um okay."
You stand up and motion for him to do the same. You hand him a pillow.
"On the count of three throw the pillow at me."
You order him with fear coating your English. What if it doesn't work. He's going to think you and our friends have gone completely bonkers.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
He throws the pillow.
You put up your right hand.
The pillow stops in the air.
His mouth drops open.
His already overly large pupils get bigger.
He walks around so he can see the side of the pillow. Then he walks behind you.
With his mouth now closed but eyes still huge, he touches your right hand.
Places his pointer finger and runs it up from your wrist to the tip of your pinky.
"Now make it fall"
He is still behind you so it startles you a bit but you obey.
Lifting your right hand from the air back to your side, the pillow falls to the floor.
He goes back to the bean bag and sits down and stares at the pillow.
You go and sit down as well.
Without looking for the pillow he asks,
"Anything else you want to tell me?"
You think. Should you tell him about the rest of your friends?
"Grace Lee, Gracie and Erin have one of the seven wonders also."
This time he looks up at you.
"Grace Lee can teleport, Gracie has mind manipulation and Erin has the power of resurrection."
You tell him realizing now he has to believe you.
"well then,"
But before he can finish his sentence his phone rings.
Picking it up you assume it's his mom.
"That was my mom, she doesn't want me out later then 9:30"
He stands up and starts to walk upstairs.
Once at the door he turns around before leaving.
"Don't tell anyone okay?"
You are starting to get worried now. If he tells the wrong person you could turn into a science experiment.
"Don't worry. You can always trust me."
You look up at his face.
You smile.
He smiles back then leaves shutting the door quietly.
You go back downstairs and text your group text with Grace Lee, Gracie and Erin.

Just so you all know Jake knows and trust me he won't tell anyone.

You hope they won't be mad. But even if they are, they'll get over it. After all you are best friends.
