Stella Marie never wanted all this.
It was her own fault, really.
If she hadn't snuck out that night.
If she hadn't gotten into that car.
If she hadn't been taken.
Everything would be normal.
But she had, she did, and she was.
And now, at 17 years old, nothing has changed, except for her.
She has changed.
She can't see things, not really, but their past.
She sees the path, the route, their lives have gone on, and why.
She sees emotions in scenes.
She sees the trauma in people, not on purpose of course.
I just came to her, like breathing.
It's just, if you can't see the past, how do you know who to trust?
She grew up never trusting.
Never growing.
And now it's going to help her.
FBI cold cases.
Other "naturals".
A family.
And heck, if they want her, what can Stella do but accept?

(Read book #1 first) Circe has an interesting life and her two brothers make it all the more interesting. Thomas, the oldest, is now going into his final year of hogwarts. Mattheo, the middle child, is going into his 4th year. Circe is looking forward to her 2ed year at Hogwarts. Even while she is getting more notice in the family she still feels like everyone is drifting in different directions.
I was running through the forest with my brothers. Suddenly they disappeared and I heard them call out of me, they needed help. Everything went black then when I could see again I saw my brothers they were tied to trees with vines and gagged so they couldn't talk. I tried to use magic but it wasn't working, I was helpless. Vines grabbed my feet and started dragging me away from them, deeper into the forest and I tried to grab something but my hands slipped on everything.
