"She looked at her mother impatienly, waiting for her to tell her what she had given so much importance.
"Sweetie, you're going to be an older sister" she said directly.
"A baby?" she asked, concealing a small smile.
She looked at her in amazement. The two-year-old had understood that with only that phrase, without even asking questions about it.
"Baby sister" she said, staring at her.
"I didn't tell you that, Kaelah, How do you know?" She asked, confused.
"Yes you did, Mommy," she replied, as if it were really her mistake.
"No, I haven't," she denied as she sat the little girl on her lap.
Her daughter watched her for a couple of seconds, really focused, as if she was paying attention to something.
"I haven't done anything," she reproached, complaining, getting her to be completely blocked without knowing what to say, because at the moment she didn't understand what she meant.
"Honey, who are you talking to?" she asked, stroking her hair.
"With you, Mommy," she said, looking at her.
For a couple of seconds she was paralyzed under the blue eyes of her daughter, not understanding what was happening, what was the reason the little girl was doing that, how it was possible that she could know everything she thought, everything she had in her mind.
She tried to think of something that could test her, but the truth was that she was blocked, she was scared.
"Why are you scared of me?" She asked as if threatening to burst into tears. "I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
"No, you haven't done anything wrong, sweetie" she stroked her face, trying to reassure her. "I have to go talk to your father, okay?" she kissed her forehead as she rose from the chair she was sitting on.
She sighed as she looked at her one last time, wondering how she was going to tell her husband, but especially what would happen to her daughter if they heard about it.
"I can't, Father," whispered the two-year-old girl, apparently confused by what her father asked her. "I haven't done anything."
"Try to know what I'm thinking, sweetheart" he asked her who shook her head, indicating that she still did not understand what she had to do. "You have to do the same as before."
"But I didn't do anything," she complained, starting to get nervous.
He sighed as he pushed aside the hair that fell on her face, watching her, believing that his wife had invented it. Yet he saw no clue of it, indeed, the nervousness with which she had told him verified that it was true. He was worried about his daughter's safety right now, because if it was true, it was a danger for her to be exposed like that, but he couldn't do anything, just keep it hidden.
"Why can not the others know?" she asked. "Is it bad?" Are they going to hurt me?" She looked at him frightened on the edge of tears.
There it was. He had not uttered a single word pronouncing his point of view, so he could deduce that that was what had happened before. That little girl could read minds, could get into it without any problem and she was not aware of it, fact that worried him, since when would she take it doing? What limits would she have? All this was new to them, so no, they did not understand what was happening, whether it was good or bad, if the little girl had complete control over it.
"Daddy, I'm tired," she said, rubbing her eyes.
"Okay, baby, it's bedtime." He smiled as he grabbed her in his arms to take her to his room, where he laid her on the bed.
"I love you, good night, Kaelah," he kissed her forehead.
"I love you too" she whispered back. "Daddy, I'm scared, are they going to hurt me?" she asked again.
"No, little one, no one is ever going to hurt you, I promise" he said, watching as a smile formed on her face.
He stayed with her until her breath came on, indicated that she was asleep, so he kissed her forehead again before leaving, thinking once more how they were going to face it "
I looked toward the door, waiting for Alex to come in, who had gone to look for my sister, ..., her sister, to try to persuade her to return to the room, however, when the door opened, Kara wasn't there
"Is she very angry?" I asked.
"She said that she didn't want to talk to you" she said.
I closed my eyes pissed at myself, wishing that everything had been different, that this had not happened. I blinked, allowing the tears to come out, trying to keep from sobbing.
All of this was being too difficult, and honestly, I did not see the way to make it much simpler. I was destroying myself, my sister, the only thing left of my family, I hated it, She didn't want to know anything about me and everything because I had decided to protect her, because I didn't want to hurt her.
"Do you want me to tell her anything else?" she asked me, so I shook my head.
"No, don't do it, she need her space," I answered in a whisper. "I ... I would love to tell her ... but ... I can't hurt her, I can't hurt her in that way" I explained "I know my sister is not going to settle for what I've told you, but she's going to ask a lot more questions and ... I can't answer them," I continued sobbing. "But it's not just for her, but for me, for all the memories that it brings, because they hurt me" I finished even in tears.
"Kaelah, hey, you have to calm down" she said approaching. "I know that Kara is very impulsive, does things without thinking most of the time, well, It's not a secret for you" she said getting a little smile from me "Hey, see, I've made you smile, but it's the truth, you know perfectly how she is, give her time, it will pass," she assured me, returning my smile.
All I wanted at the moment was to see her, to know that she would be able to forgive me, surprising me greatly by the realization that the door was opening again, allowing her to enter, going where I was laying, placing her hand on my cheek.
"I'm sorry" she whispered. "But I want to understand you, Kaelah," she said.
"You have heard everything, right?" I looked her straight in the eye.
"I-no" she tried to deny it, but it was too obvious she was lying.
"Kara, how many times do I have to tell you that you can not spy on the conversations of others?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry ..." she said, bowing her head.
"No problem" I smiled. "Kara, I'm not ready to explain all of that, I'm afraid to hurt you, but above all to hurt myself," I explained.
"I ... I can wait, after what I have heard, I don't need to know more, for now, of course" she laughed slightly causing my laughter.
"What's going to happen?" I asked in a whisper. "I'm scared"
She watched me for a couple of seconds before she shook her head, indicating that she wasn't sure about what was going to happen for the next few days.
Sorry for the delay, it have been a busy weeks. Thanks for reading and comment,
