Buried trust

Chapter 15

(Songs; I forgot again, sorry.)

I come home from my run and my dad is still in the kitchen. "Are you okay dad?" "I'm fine. I just have to process." "Oh, okay," I say, and walk upstairs. I take a shower and put some clothes on. I'm nervous. Nervous for a call. She is just my grandmother. No, she isn't. She is the girl in my dream. She is the same supernatural as me. I need to write down the questions I want to ask her. Otherwise, I will forget some stuff. I have to call her before my mom comes home. The whole week I wanted her to come home but now I just want her to stay away from a little longer. I grab my notebook and all the pages begin to fall out of it. Why did I destroy it when Luke wasn't honest. The list of people I knew was supernatural fall onto the floor. I grab it and laugh. Well, I have to update that list. I grab a pen and begin to write.

Luke - vampire
Niall - vampire
Jenny - werewolf
Ethan - werewolf
Natalie - witch
Me - predictor

It isn't a long list. I'm glad it isn't. But there are more vampires in this town. The ones that keep killing humans. The murders who got covered up by animal attacks. It is bugging me to know that there are more out there. Killing humans. Why can't they use blood bags? Be just like Niall and Luke. I set the thought aside and write down a few questions I want to ask my grandmother. I need to know what I can do to help. What are my powers? How do I get stronger? All these questions are flying around in my head.

I walk downstairs and my dad isn't in the kitchen anymore. He is sitting on the couch. The tv is on and the news lady is announcing another animal attack. "And again someone dies because of a vampire," I say and walk to the couch. My dad shakes his head. "Are you absolutely sure that Luke isn't the one killing these innocent people?" "I'm sure dad." How he said that about the innocent people being killed gives me a sort of guilt feeling. I notice that my dad is wearing a bracelet with black onyx in it. "Protect yourself from compulsion much? Can I have one too?" "I only have one because I am not a supernatural Maddie." "So, why can't I have one?" "Because you are supernatural. Vampires can not compel other supernaturals." Make sense. The other supernaturals are there for the balance of nature. "I want to call her before mom gets home. Maybe now." "Okay. You can call her alone. I am not going to interrupt your conversation." "Thanks, dad." I give him a hug. My dad writes a number on a piece of paper and gives it to me. I grab it and walk outside. In our backyard, there is a table and some chairs for when we want to eat outside in the summer. I sit down and grab my phone. I dial the number and hear a sweet voice with and French accent. "Hello with Marion."

"Hi, it's Maddie." "Ahhhh, Maddie I was expecting you. Are you nervous?" How could she know that? Can I sense how she is feeling? "Yes, I am." "But sweetie why?" "Because I'm this one week all of this weird stuff was happening. I knew nothing but I figured a lot out on my own." "It is scary at first, I know. I had the same when I first learned. But I learned from my parents. Your dad isn't that type." "I know. He is still sitting in the house shocked." "In this family the woman is predictors, and the men are the ones protecting them. The men learn how to protect the woman." "Do you mean to kill the ones putting the woman in danger?" "Exactly." No way he is going to kill Luke and Niall. "But Maddie, I saw that you were friends with vampires. Witches and werewolves I am okay with but vampires. They are no good." "You mean Luke and Niall. They are good. They don't kill people." "That doesn't mean that they are good." "I know, but I like him." "Sweetie it is okay. But remember when he hurt you I did warn you." "I will. But I have some questions." "Ask them, I will answer truthfully." "What are my powers, and how do I get stronger to protect humans?" "The powers of a predictor are vision and dreams. You can communicate with people in your dreams and you can see what is going to happen." "Like in my dream, you showed up in our kitchen. But you were so young. We age right?" "Yeah we do age, but I thought you would scream if some old lady was standing in your kitchen." "I probably would." I laugh a little. "Predictors can get stronger in different ways. But I will not tell how because you will see and feel when it happens." "Oh, okay. I read in a book that we are being created with a reason." "That is correct. When there is danger in a place where you are born you are more likely to be a predictor. Then you can protect the town. And in our family predictors are in the generations." "I know I read that." "You did a lot of research. I think that is helping you." "I always need answers. If I don't know what is happening my mind is going crazy." "You are a little of a control freak." "Guess you can say that." "Maddie nothing is wrong with you, remember that. You are someone special." "I know. But I wish there were others that can help me. I know you are here but you are also far away." "Sweetie, I lived in the USA for a long time. Your cousin lives in New York and she is also a predictor. But she ran away and now I lost her. I only know her name and that she is in New York. She blocked me out of her thoughts." "Can you do that?" "What?" "Can I block you from my thought?" "Yes, most of them not all." "Can you give me a name? I will go and search for her. She is the one that could help me. I can feel it." "Her name is Olivia. I don't know anything more. I'm sorry Maddie good luck." "Thanks." I hang up the phone. Guess that is a road trip to New York.

I grab a bag and put some clothes on it. I am not going to tell my dad about this. I have to convince Luke to go with me. 11 hours of driving is long. I can not do it alone. We will leave in the evening. After my mom comes home. I call Luke. "Hello Maddie, what's up?" "You and I, New York, tonight." "What?" "My cousin lives there and I need to go there. Just pick me up at 12 pm. I will explain everything in the car." "Just because I happened to love New York." "Love you" I hang up the phone and look at the time. It is seven pm. Still, 5 hours left. I decide to make dinner for me and my dad and take some snacks for the road.

"How was the chat with my mother?" I startle and turn around. "It was good. Is mom home?" "She will be in ten minutes." "I left her some dinner. I will go upstairs now, bye." My dad turns around and goes back to tv and I grab the snacks for on the road. Upstairs I put the things in bags and wait for my mom. It is almost ten pm. I see car lights coming and I walk downstairs. My mom opens the door and I run to her. "I missed you so much, mom." "I missed you too honey." "I made you dinner, but I'm going to bed." "Sleep well, Maddie." I give her a kiss on the cheek and walk upstairs. My mom and dad are going to the living room and talk about the trip my mom made. I put on sweatpants and a hoodie and grab the bags. I walk downstairs as quietly as I can and open the door. Luke is already there. I close the door and run to the car. I put my bag of clothes in the trunk and the snack in the back. I step in the car and look at Luke. "I'm so excited." I smile and put my seatbelt on. Luke laughs and we drive away. I'm going to New York. Freaking New York.
