My father was a famous writer and my mother was the famous storyteller in their time. They both compliment to each other.

With the book, writen by my father, my mother reads it to the children, she has enchanted the audiences with the words coming out from her. Every words she reads seems to be real.

Every night ,when I was a baby , my mother read me a fairytale book, in which my father had written. Until one day, my mother read me another story book when all of the words writen into it came into life. My father can also bring the characters into life out off books and into our world.

They reasoned out that it was a gift given to them. Since their gift might shaken the people, my parents have to stopped their work and kept their gift as a secret to the public.

Since then, they were no longer able to read books out loud not because they are not capable anymore but they wouldn't. It was hard for them to sacrificed their interested field but they can't do a thing to control their gift. For them, it is a risk and a danger to bring the characters from the books into our world.

I was 11 years old when I discovered something that makes me different from the people around me. Like my mother and father, I can also do what they can.

They found out about it when I read to them my favorite book.

They were shocked at what I can do just by reading books out loud. They also came into life just what had happened years ago. That shocked my nerves. What happened to the characters? I don't know. My parents never told me more about them.

They, my parents, were furious at what skill I have. They isolated me from the people around. I can't go outside without my father's company. I stopped going to school after I completed my elementary and I've had my studies conducted at home then. They restrained me from reading books, story books specifically.

I, too, was scared just like my parents was.

The characters has life itself, therefore they have their own minds. What they'll think is what they'll do. And I can't control them.

I also don't know how to bring them back inside the book.

I'm Jenica Borda and I'm going to work out this gift.
