Jenny woke up the next morning to the sounds of Abbie muttering about the house as she usually did. Jenny hadn't gotten much sleep she was too busy trying to figure out what she had witnessed last night. She got out of bed, put her curly hair into a ponytail and slipped into her pajama shorts and house shoes. Preparing to face whatever kind of state Abbie was in that morning.
She opened her door and walked into the living room to find Abbie on her hands and knees peeking underneath the couch. She wore her cop uniform. "Have you seen my holster?" Abbie asked getting up and checking behind the pillows on the couch. Jenny stared at her. How can she be so normal? How is it possible that she can be searching for a damn holster when she practically threatened to stab her last night.? "Jenny, come on I'm gonna be late. Have you seen it?" Abbie asked again. Jenny snapped out of her thoughts. "Umm, yeah I think so go check your closet on the floor." She answered still quite confused by this normalcy she was experiencing. Abbie shuffled passed Jenny. Jenny just stood by the threshold with her arms folded taking note of her sisters behavior. "Got it" she heard Abbie say from her room. She walked out wrapping it around her waist as she grabbed some files off of the counter. "Alright, see you. " Abbie announced when she was almost out the door. "Wait!" Jenny yelled stopping Abbie. "Yeah?" She answered turning around nearly dropping her files. "Mom wants to see the both of us today." Abbie rolled her eyes. "Today is a busy day for me." Abbie tried. "Maybe another time." She added. Jenny pursed her lips and folded her arms, sitting into her hip a little. Signaling that Abbie had no choice but to come. Abbie let out a breath. "Alright Fine, I'll try to make it." Jenny walked back into her room because she knew that Abbie would end up coming.

At the Sleepy Hollow police station everything was buzzing. Apparently there had been two murders the night before and Captain Frank Irving was definitely not happy. "Mills I needed you here like yesterday. " he scolded as he walked from one desk to the other picking up papers that he needed. "I know, sorry sir." Abbie apologized while trying to keep up with his long strides. Irving paused for a second so that she could catch up. "Here." He said handing her two pictures. "These are our victims. Sam Thompson and Rebecca Williams." Abbie peered at the pictures nothing about them seemed familiar. "Are their deaths you know, unnatural?" she asked thinking that was the reason she was assigned. "No, looks like a drowning and a stabbing." he answered not really paying attention to her. She glanced at the photos feeling remorse for the two young people. "Better get started." She said as she walked to her desk.

"Knock knock." Jenny said as she took her shoes off at her mother's doorway. "Hey Ducky, how are you? Where's your sister?" She asked glancing around as if Abbie was hiding behind Jenny. "She said that she'll try to make it." Jenny answered while walking over to the rocking chair where she usually sat when visiting her mother. she sat in it side ways her feet dangling over the arm of the chair. Lori shook her head. She had tried to teach her girls to behave like, well girls. Instead they're going around toting guns, slouching, and have the mouths of sailors. She walked over to Jenny and took her hair out of its usual ponytail so that it fell over her shoulders, mimicking her own hair. "Why don't you wear it this way. You're so beautiful." Lori asked her daughter fixing fly away hairs. "Because when I'm about to off some demon I don't want hair in my face." Jenny responded curling up in the big rocking chair. Lori let out a frustrated breath.
"So when am I gonna learn how to kill someone with my mind?" Jenny joked. "We don't use God's gift as a means to cause harm. And besides you're not ready for that yet." Lori said matter-of-factly as she walked and sat at the table in the middle of her room. Jenny got up "oh come on! I brought my dead sister back to life." Jenny laughed. "Indeed. You are quite powerful and the power of resurgence is a pretty rare gift to have, but you need to perfect the smaller things." Jenny sat at the table "okay fine." lori grabbed a cup and placed it on the table. "Lift it." Jenny reached for the cup but Lori smacked her hand away. Jenny looked at Lori confused. Lori pointed to her temple and Jenny laughed which was greeted with a stern look from her mother. "You need to focus, tell the cup to lift." Lori commanded. Jenny stared at the cup willing it to move an inch or two. After several tries Lori got up and walked over to her dresser. Jenny became frustrated. "Well let me see you do it." The cup suddenly flew from the table to the dresser all while Lori still had her back turned and was rummaging through her things. Lori turned around when she finally found what she was looking for: earplugs. She grabbed the cup and placed it on the table again. "Here, try these." Jenny tried once again with the earplugs but the cup stayed glued to the table.
"Hold on." Jenny got up and retrieved her Ipod from her bag. She began blasting music through her headphones. Jenny sat back down at the table. Lori said something about today's generation, but Jenny couldn't hear her. She focused on the cup as hard as she could and the cup lifted and came into her hand. Jenny jumped out of her chair in a celebration Dance. "Hell yeah!" Lori laughed at how silly Jenny looked dancing.
"I miss a party? " Abbie asked at the door. Lori looked over at her daughter, something was different about her. "I just moved a cup with my mind!" Jenny said a little too loud forgetting she had the headphones in. "Hello Abigail." Lori nodded in Abbie's direction. Abbie stared at her. Jenny took her headphones out. Abbie walked into the room. Lori noted how she didn't take her shoes off. "Abigail, your shoes please." Jenny found it weird that her mother used Abbie's middle name. "Oh, must've forgot." Abbie laughed nervously as she took off her work shoes. Lori and Jenny took their seats at the table while Abbie sat in the back in the rocking chair.
"So how's work?" Lori asked Abbie as she set out a candle for Jenny to practice on. "Light it." Lori said to Jenny as she stared at Abbie. "The same." Abbie responded staring right back at her mother. Jenny had her face close to the candle willing it to light. Lori pushed her head back softly while still making eye contact with her eldest daughter. "Not to close ducky." She whispered. "So where's Mr. Crane?" Lori pressed Abbie for more information. "He's doing some research on one of our cases." She responded with a slight smile. Lori returned the fake smile making the same face as her daughter. It was really uncanny how much they resembled one another. "I see you." Lori mouthed to Abbie. "I did it!" Jenny yelled. Lori looked at the candle that was flickering back and forth. " ah! Resurgence, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis looks like you're my daughter after all." Lori joked. Jenny felt proud of herself who knew she was capable of all these things. Lori looked from Jenny to Abbie who stared at the lit candle. "Well I think it's time to end this session. Come again tomorrow Ducky, nice seeing you...Abigail" Lori stared at Abbie who tried to stare her down with a menacing glare. As both Abbie and Jenny turned to leave Lori 'accidentally' bumped into Abbie with a needle in her hand drawing blood out of the small puncture wound. "Ow!" Abbie complained. "Oh sorry let me get that for you" she grabbed a kleenex and wiped the blood.
As Abbie and Jenny left the room Lori looked worriedly after her daughters.
