The Untold Truth

Katie POV

Age is nothing but a number from what I have been told by my mother, she told me to follow my heart and to never give up on finding true love. I realized after some time she knew my secret before I truly knew, which was that I Katie Knight was in love with James Diamond which I have known for my whole life. I have seen him go from one girl to the next girl over the years, but today I decided I was going to change that.

"Katie, are you up yet?" Kendal knocked, but there was no response, "Katie, I'm coming in." As Kendal opened the door he noticed that her bed looked like it hadn't been slept in.

"Hey mom she's not in her room," he yelled as came into the kitchen grabbing his plate to eat breakfast.

"Kendal," Ms. Knight exhausted to get ready for the heat that was about to come from her announcement she was about to make to everyone. "Your sister left last night to attend an exchange program," she smiled as she handed Carlos his plate.

"Wait when did this happen?" Kendal exclaimed as he walked over to his mother to get answers from her, while James came into the room with a shock look on his face. "Look sweetie your sister got the letter yesterday and school is giving her a full scholarship."

"But mom she would had told me about it," he protested, "now look here son, you guys were gone and didn't get home until she was already gone."

"Is there way for us to contact her?" Logan asked as he noticed look on James' face.

"She is going to call when she checks into her room," she said as she sat down at the table. "And she is coming home for the holidays."

Flashback

"Sweetie are you sure about this program and school?" she asked.

"Mom, they said that school could help me to learn how to enhance my skills," Katie stated as she was packing her bags.

"Are you sure you really want to do this?" She asked her daughter as she was helping her pack. "I mean honey you just turned 17yesterday, and right now I feel that this is mainly about…." before she could finish her statement Katie gave her a look and the lights started to flicker. "Mom, you know I am starting to come into my gift and I don't really have control of it like you or aunt Brenda."

" Sweetie it takes time to control your magic, when your feelings are tied into it as well," she said as she pulled her into a hug. "Mom I just need this I want to be able to control my emotions and not caused the lights to go out or even cause someone to be sent to the other side of the world," she laughed trying to ease the tension in the room.

End of Flashback

"Mom is she with aunt Brenda," Kendal asked after he noticed that Katie had been acting weird just like his cousin did on her 17th birthday a couple of years ago. He really didn't know the history of his family but he knew they were really different.

"Yep she is, your aunt is checking her into the school and making sure she has everything she needs," she said as she gave her son the look letting him know that she'll explain later. "Plus sweetie maybe she'll be able to teach you grown men something when she comes back." with that last comment she strolled out the room to place a call to her sister.

"What did your mother mean about teaching us something?" Carlos asked as he finished his food not missing a beat to anything being said. "Dude, I am not sure but I think someone over there is in shock," Logan said as he pointed over to James whom was looking like he lost his best friend.

"I'm cool," James smiled as he went into is his.

"So what's his deal?" Kendal asked he shook his trying to grasp everything was going. "Look I am not sure but I think maybe he feels like you do about Katie not saying goodbye," Logan suggested.

"I guess, but it seems to me that there might be a little more to it," Kendal stated as he noticed Carlos looking lost in his own little world.

Ms. Knight was in her room talking to her sister about Katie, "Is doing ok with her training?" "She is doing ok, but it seems that she has taking a little better control then we did at her age sis."

"I'm glad you're there for her, but promise me that she doesn't end like someone we know," "I promise to keep her on the right path, but you need to warn Kendal that his time is about come." she suggested to Jennifer.

"Mom what is she talking about?" Kendal asked as he came into the room unseen by his mother.
