Chapter Nineteen:

Closure

Jake’s Pov.

          Kenzi’s house was strangely emptied and quiet. It used to have this Kenzi vibe when she was living here. But now…nothing. It’s as if the house died with her freewill.

          I navigated through the house easily and found what seemed to be Kenzi’s mom’s office. I opened it and gasped. It was left like it would be if she just went down stairs to get a snack real quick.

          The office was entirely pink, slightly reminding me of Umbridge’s office from Harry Potter. I understand now that Kenzi’s mom was a seer, meaning she could see and talk to ghost. She could even raise the dead if she was powerful enough. But if she was one of the few who can-could resist programming, I have no doubt in my mind that she could raise an army of the dead and take over the US.

          It felt odd shuffling and snooping around her private works but if it was to save her daughter I am pretty sure she would be okay with it. I searched every file in every filing cabinet, looked through every document on the computer and was close to giving up when something caught my attention.

          On top of a filing cabinet near the back wall was a picture. It was of a woman who I assumed to be Kenzi’s mom. She had long straight blonde hair that was a couple shades darker than Kenzi’s. Her eyes seemed troubled, but she still smiled in the picture, she held a little girl about four or five years old, this was probably taken around the time she died.

          The little girl I knew instantly was Kenzi, I could tell by her smile, and her bright blue eyes. Her eyes before her change that had a slight tint of violet, showing her true color, the color that I was so used to. In the picture the little girl was sitting in a pile of leaves, with leaves in her hair. I recognized the place of the picture was the town park. But what I don’t think she noticed was that standing half hidden behind the trees was a man.

          A man with violet eyes.

          Marvin Hitchen.

          That bastard had been freaking stalking them!  Then I looked at the picture again. He had a strange look in his, the same look my mother gives my father. The same look Logan gives Brooke. A look of love and adoration.

          Then I tired to pick up the picture, but it wouldn’t budge. So I tired to knock it over, it fell on it’s back and then the wall next to it opened up to reveal a clear box that held a purple folder.

          I took out the folder from the box.

          It was labeled, “The Cure”

          Introduction:

I skimmed over that and went right for the process.

The Process:

After many years of research I have discovered the cure to programming. In order to program they have to take something away from the victim. They usually take the thing they value most.

          From studying the people around me, my family, I have discovered what the Coats might take from them.

          In order to cure the victim you must show them that they took said thing from them and that you can give it to them. You must give it to them.

          My husband who I love very much was programmed, but I discovered what they took from him. His family. He has always cared so much for his family; he would do anything for us. So I am going to try to remind him of the man that once was there.

          If you do try to reverse the programming, be prepared for the fact that the victim will try to kill you and fight back. But remember, it’s not them anymore. They are really imprisoned in their bodies and have to watch as someone else controls their body and makes it do awful things.

          Step One: Determine what they are missing.

          Step Two: Confront them or wait for them to come to you.

          Step Three: Find their inner self. Step Three is usually the hardest because the monster will fight back. But no matter what, you must continue. If you don’t then it could have an awful side effect. Don’t stop.

          Step Four: Give them what the lost. This could be as simple as handing them their dog, or as difficult as confessing your undying love for them. Step three and four are the actual cure. Make sure that until you are sure they are fully back (their eyes are back to their normal shade or you notice a drastic change) you continue to give them what they lost or find their inner self.

          *Sometimes, Gifters who are extremely powerful will be able to break through at times but it will only last for a second or so. Also, some Gifters are able to fight their way through without step four. But that is very rare, if this does happen do step four just in case they are tricking you.*

          Thank you Kenzi’s mom. You have given me my answer, I will be forever grateful. I now no what I have to do.

          But wait, what did they take from Kenzi?

          I flipped further in the folder and came across something very important.

          Mackenzi Jane Hitchen (Kenzi Aarons)- if you are reading this, then you must really care about my daughter.

          I do.

          And if you care about her so much you are willing to risk your life for her then I will tell you how to reverse her programming. After studying my daughter I have come to the conclusion that the thing she deems of most value is…love.

          Love.

          Love?

          Well, this should be easy! After all I do love her, and I know she loves me too. And I happened to be cursed by my ancestors to bare the extra Gift of love, this will be easy.

          Kenzi will be herself in no time.
