Chapter three here we come…he's a little trivia…I wanted to name my original character with either a J or a K. (Kyle, Jessi)-so I picked Kayla…

Chapter three: The Abilities of Kayla

The next day, Jessi and Kayla met Kyle at the Rack. Amanda noticed Kyle and said,

"Who's that girl hanging with Jessi?"
"That's Kayla…she's someone Jessi and I helped. Her father beat her. Her bruisers are starting to heal."

Jessi said to me,

"Go talk to Kyle."

Kayla said,

"Hey, Kyle. How are you?"

"I'm fine. This is Amanda, my girlfriend. And Amanda, this is Kayla, as you know."

"I'm sorry about your father. I think you're strong."

"I have to stay with Jessi."

"Good luck with that," Amanda replied.

"To be honest, I didn't want to. She has this presence that scares the crap out of me."

"She does that to everyone."

Kyle said,

"Why'd you come?"

"I come here all the time. And that Taylor guy likes to control Jessi, doesn't he?"

"Yes…Jessi's hard to deal with…she always pushes herself and I'm afraid she'll end up dead in the street."

Later that day, at the Target house, Kyle said,

"About the Wiccan stuff. What can you do with your 'psychicness'? Maybe you can help me with that."

"How? Right now you and Jessi are hiding something. I said to Taylor that she wants you to tell me first."

"And that seems like she's unsure of it."

"You know a lot of her. And Jessi is not able to control herself."

"Well, enough of her. I wanted you to show me psychic/Wiccan abilities."

"Don't say it out loud, Kyle. All right, I'm going to try to read what you're feeling by touching you. It'll take a few minutes."

I touched Kyle's smooth hand and concentrated. I would hear is feelings from the mind. What he was thinking and feeling?

I heard his thought-

I want to tell Kayla, but she knows to show her talent first. Jessi and I would show ours without pushing it. I'm just worried how she'll take it. But she might because she told something about her.

"You want to tell me something, but you wanted for me to show you what I can do first. You're worried how I'll take it."

Kyle had a shocked look on his face.

He thought,

How could she know that without me telling her?

Kyle said,

"That's exactly right. How'd you do that?"

"I concentrate and feel your energy. And Jessi…something terrible is going to happen to her and I don't know what it is YET."

"What?"

"Yes, and I want to show you my third major ability. Usually, when I mad or I concentrate, it might rain or get really windy. That is a Wiccan ability. Today, I am going to try. The other was a psychic ability-the reading of your emotions-basically a branch from mind-reading."

Kayla went to Kyle's backyard with him and concentrated.

"I use my anger mostly to make it work."

Kayla continued and after ten minutes, it was cloudy.

Nicole suddenly came in.

"Kayla, I've arranged for you a day in court. I'll ask you for your number. Do you have a cell phone?"

"Yes, and if my dad calls, he's on the reject list. I won't answer it."

Nicole left and Jessi arrived, too.

"What are you doing, Kyle?"
"I'm not doing anything. Kayla showed me her abilities. And she has made it windy and cloudy. That is part of her being Wiccan."

Kyle thought,

Why can I feel her pain? Why can she do this? Why did this happen? What made me help her?

Then Jessi said,

"If we can't push ourselves, then why can she?"

"Her abilities are subtle, but are part of nature and herself. The abilities we have standout and…."
"You wanted to see her talent. Admit it, Kyle."

"If she can keep a secret a secret, we should tell her."

Then, as if on cue, it began to rain.

"You were serious, Kayla. You can do this."

"Yes, and I'm not going to tell your family, Kyle."
"But they know ours and haven't told anyone they don't know."

"Will you tell me?"

"Okay, I will."

Kayla felt tired when she released some of her energy.

Jessi started getting smug about it.

"Something's wrong with Kayla. I think she's trying to show us too much."

"Leave her alone," Kyle replied, "I think we can tell her."

"What about Adam and everyone?" Jessi asked.

"It's a risk, like she did with us."

"Kayla, we have story for you. We're going to explain it."
