As months passed, we slowly got the facts about Mom's disappearance. Apparently the Organization had been hunting Mom for years and she never told anyone. They concocted a poison that was supposed to kill her, and that was on the bullet that they shot her with. But instead it apparently took her powers, not her life. The real reason that the doctor didn't want her touching Dante was that they were afraid that it was contagious. But we discovered something shocking, the doctors were wrong about it being contagious, but not about Dante. He actually was blind. No one knew how he was able to be completely aware of everything around him.
My life stayed pretty dull until we took Dante to a check up when he was three, and found out that his eyes reacted to everything when they didn't use to. Dad freaked out to say the least. I was both happy and sad, it meant that he could have a normal life, but it also meant that I was the oddball in the family. But I sure as heck didn't let Dad figure out that I thought that. He was the only person who believed in my potential. But about that time, a new surprise came along.
I was drawing a picture of Dante playing with toys, since we didn't have enough money to get a camera. Then I heard Eathan talking with Daddy in the front room, and there was a strange voice in there too. I rolled in and saw a woman sitting on the couch. I looked at Eathan, who was the only one to notice my entrance, Who is she?
He smiled and gestured to the lady, "Sandra, this is Jade, my friend that I've told you about. Jade, this is my girlfriend Sandra."
I shyly waved at her and she walked over to me, "Eathan has told me about how you take such good care of your baby brother. I think that you are the sweetest girl in the world for doing that."
Eathan walked over to us, "Hey Jade, do you want to go to Ireland with us? I promised my mom that I would introduce her to my friends. And even if you are a lot younger than me, you are my friend."
My Dad picked me up and nodded, "All three of us are willing to come with you. It's just a pity that Ellie couldn't see the two of you."
Eathan laughed, "Are you seriously using that name to talk about your wife?"
"Yeah, every time that I say it, I think of what her reaction would be. That makes it hard to stay sad."
A/N: Sorry that it took so long to write this. But the term just ended, and it's my last year in high school. Pressure galore! So it might be a while before I do the next chapter.
