Frank Lambert
I am laying here barely breathing and no one to help me. I just left my wife and newborn daughter in the hospital when a car came speeding towards me and I could get out of their way fast enough. I went flying and bouncing and my blood is dripping from my head and body. All goes black.
Carla Lambert
I am waiting for Frank to come back and pick us up from the hospital. I felt a sharp pain after he left me last night and had a awful dream of him lying in pain after headlights. I woke up screaming. I scared Anastasia and had to be calmed down and she had to as well.
Years later Frank was pronounced legally dead as soon as he was gone so long. I started dating Ray Steele and we decided to get married and he would adopt Ana. He has been helping us out for over a year and we fell in love and Ana loves him a lot. I still feel a connection to Frank, it's like he is out there somewhere and can't find his way back to us. We married and Ana and I are now Steele's. Ana has been displaying more abilities than I have and she seems sad at times and I have found her talking to what seems to be no one. But I know better. I know about the ghosts and spirits involved with our family and it's history. I think Ana has seen these and talked to them since she was an infant. I would hear her babbling and giggling in her room and not find anything at all. But things would be moved from one place to another.
Ana graduated from high school at a very young age at 15 and was accepted at several colleges, but wanted to go to one in Seattle. See we decided to move there. Ana and Carla we're heirs to the Lambert estate and it was divided up equally and a trust was setup for them to live off of until the trust was given to each of them. Ana had to be 21 and in Carlas care until that time for them both to get the trust. Weird setup, but it was a weird family.

I knew Ana was special, when she told me what my mom and dad always told me when I was sad. They would tell me that even when they are no longer on this earth that their love was still with me and to never forget that. I knew then she was very special and I treated her that way. I would find her talking in her room to no one at all. She learned quickly not to do this around others. We had lived in Montesano and moved into Seattle so Ana could go to college. Carla loved the idea. So we found a nice home close to the college.
Ana
I am going to be one of the youngest students in college, but not the only one. My advisor told me that there are three younger than me and two are in my classes. I am taking courses to learn about my abilities. Mom thought it would be good to include some courses to assist me in understanding my abilities. Two different Parapsychology classes and Law classes would be beneficial as well as business courses. The parapsychology classes were amusing at best. The discussions amused me, the ghosts were laughing while I tried to hear over them. What I never understood is why my fathers ghost never appeared to me. But I also didn't ask the spirits or the ghosts. I my dreams he is playing with a child and someone who isn't my mother is standing by him. She calls him by a different name. That's all I see in the dreams.
Gage Anderson
I watch as I see two ghost sit by the girl near me. My ghost think this class is a bunch of nonsense, so they find elsewhere to be. Cowards lol. I guess hers think the teacher is hilarious because they are laughing. She's trying to listen but they are putting their fingers in her ears lol. She's pretty young for college. But there's a lot of younger kids in college at this point. I look around and I believe she and I are possibly the on,y ones who have ghosts and spirits. I go and meet her after class. At first she is alarmed, but one of her ghost whispers something to her and she smiles and shakes my hand.
Ana
Gage spooks me at first when until Molly tells me he has his own ghost and spirits and is a kind soul. I shake his hand and we head to our next class. We both have two parapsychology courses and they are together. We both laugh at some of the theories and some of the reality of it all.
Raymond
Ana told me she met a new friend in her class and he is 18 and sees ghosts and spirits as well.
Ana
He says they don't like the parapsychology courses at all. Mine however laugh and I can't hear the teacher. So they stuck their fingers in my ears after telling me to not listen to the guy, because he has no idea what he is talking about at all. They explained he has never seen a ghost or a spirit and don't have the abilities that I, Gage, and mom has.
Raymond
Well you definitely have abilities and apparently you have met someone else who has them as well. Too bad your teacher doesn't have any of his own.
Ana
Mr McIntosh doesn't appear to have any and not sure if he believes in them at all. I just can't seem to read him at all. It's like there's a red wall around him. I don't know why but I think he's alone and isolated from everything around him.
