It was a little uncomfortable and unpleasant having so many strangers in our house.

When Sarah and I were in our room, our guests were either hanging out at our house, Benny's house, or in the woods.

When morning came, Sarah and I got dressed. My wife dressed in a green button up shirt, regular jeans, and combat boots. I dressed in a dark grey V-neck, dark blue jeans, black converses, and a black, tight beanie or whatever it's called.

The both of us walked into our kitchen. The only people in there were Yoshi, Luis, and Maria.

We sat across the kitchen counter, along with Maria and Yoshi.

"Ethan," said Sarah, "I still believe that you have your power."

"Sarah, I was a seer," I said.

"But it happened in Hawaii. I think it can happen again."

"I don't know, Sarah."

"Ethan," said Yoshi, "you don't loose your ability like that. You just forgot how to use it."

"It's like back then, when my powers enhanced, I was then able to read minds."

"Well, when you first discover your power, you can't get it in control at that very moment," said Maria, "When I first discovered my power, I can only talk to people through my mind. As years passed, I now can have them communicate and share images with them. Heaven knows what else I am capable of doing."

My hand gripped Maria's wrist. "Can you show me how to do that?"

Luis leaned anxiously as I gripped Maria's hand. He must be protective of her.

"Ouch." She said calmly.

"Sorry." I let go of her hand. "Still, Maria. You think you can teach me how to enhance my power."

"I do not know, Ethan. It took me eight years when I discovered my power and fourteen years to enhance it."

"We can't wait that long."

"Mi corazón," said Luis. "He needs our help, my love."

"Okay," Maria sighed.

Sarah, Luis, Maria, Yoshi, and I headed outside.

"Okay, Ethan. Are you ready?" asked Maria.

"Yes, I am," I answered.

"Okay. Put your ability into use and think of what you are trying to enhance it to. You are trying to see thoughts, memories, visions of the past, present, future, and what they're capable of without touching them. Ethan, you must concentrate on it with all of your strength."

I squinched my eyes and concentrate hard.

My ability to see and learn about the supernatural through touch. Skin to skin won't be enough. I have to be able to see everything about them without touching them.

Nothing was happening. I opened my eyes.

"I can't do it," I admitted.

"Then, you are going to have to put your power into use," said Maria. "Let us see…Sarah! Why don't you be our test subject?"

"Sure," said Sarah.

"Remember, Ethan. Concentrate." said Maria.

My palm rested on Sarah's cheek. I started to hear her thoughts.

Concentrate, Ethan, her thoughts said. I know you can do this. If you can, then you will already know what they will do before they have the chance to attack you.

As I listened to her thoughts, I removed my hand from her face. The moment when I thought I succeeded, her thoughts disappeared.

"Damn it," I growled.

"Try again, Ethan," said Luis. "Concentrate."

I placed my hand on Sarah's face again.

Ethan, you can do it. You are capable of more than you know. Keep listening, sweetheart. Keep listening until you think you can still hear my thoughts.

I concentrated so hard that I think my brain will explode. Sarah's thoughts scrambled all in my mind.

My hand slowly slid away from my wife's face.

Ethan, I love you. I know you're trying your best. You don't know how proud I am of you.

My eyes were still closed. I couldn't feel the warmth of Sarah's soft skin anymore.

Ethan, open your eyes.

Once I opened my eyes, Sarah was in front of me. My hand was inches away from her face.

I told you you can do it. You were meant to be.

Her thoughts were so clear. I suddenly saw a memory. It was our wedding. I was in Sarah's point of view.

She was walking down the aisle and stopped. Then, she gazed at me. Sarah listened to me say, "One step closer."

I was back in reality.

"You did it," shrieked Sarah. She embraced me cheerfully.

Suddenly, I was hearing other minds.

This was a bad idea, said the thoughts of a young man. I knew we shouldn't have come

I hope Nate doesn't freak about this, said the other thoughts. He's so paranoid about everything. I hope Jesse doesn't find out.

Jesse! How do they know Jesse?!

I let go of Sarah and looked back at the woods.

"Ethan," said Sarah. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"I'm reading somebody else's thoughts," I said. "One of them said, 'I hope Jesse doesn't find out.' "

"We must find them," said Yoshi.

All five of us ran into the forest. As we ran, Luis yelled to Maria, "Maria, send a message to the others!"

Somebody's coming, said one of the thoughts.

"Sarah, you, Yoshi, and Maria go that way," I commanded. "Luis and I got this way."

Yoshi and the girls ran towards the direction I pointed to, while Luis and I ran to the opposite direction.

"Do you see anything," I asked Luis.

"No," he said. "Are you reading anything?"

Ugh, said one of the minds. These vamps are chasing us! Wait! There's a waterfall. Steven and I can jump over that.

"That waterfall!" I yelled to Luis. "They're heading that way. Let's go!"

Luis and I ran towards the waterfall. When we were close by, I spotted two figures jumping over the waterfall.

"There they are!" I yelled.

I jumped over the waterfall and Luis followed me. Once we hit the ground, the figures were about to escape. Before they could, I tackled one of them to the ground, while Luis pinned the other one on his chest.

I looked at both of them. They were two males, who looked about seventeen. Both of them had the same physical features. The same eyes, gold vampire eyes, and the same high cheekbones.

The one Luis pinned down was olive skin and had shaggy, thick black hair. He had a long face with a long, pointy nose, large forhead, and a lanky appearence.

The one I tackled down was more boyish like Luis. He had black, curly hair and funny-looking eyebrows. He had button nose, plump cheeks, and her lip color already looked a bit faded into his skin.

"Who are y'all?" I demanded.

"I won't answer any of your questions," said the one Luis had.

"Chris, just tell them why we're here," said the one I had.

Sarah, the Mexican coven, Benny, the Russians, Rory, Erica, and the Chinese coven appeared.

"You guys need help," asked Eddie.

"We got this, Ed," I said.

"Tell us who you are now!" said Luis.

Suddenly, Luis's body spasms out of control. His eyes rolled to the back of his head. He falls off of the guy.

"Luis!" screamed Maria. She wanted to save him, but Ramona and Eddie held her back.

Eddie lurches toward the guy and his giant hands choke the guy. The guy's hand gripped Eddie's wrists and Eddies thrashes around in pain. He lets out of a scream of agony and his knees buckled.

Once the guy lets go of Eddie, he turns to me.

"Let my brother go!" He snarled at me.

"Where did you come from?" I asked. "How do you know Jesse?"

"Let him go first."

He lets Steven go and the both of us will run for it, his mind says.

"No, you won't say anything," I said.

"Okay. Then, what I just used on them two," he pointed to Eddie and Luis, who were still moaning, "I might do the same to your girl." He pointed to Sarah.

"No!"

He started walking toward Sarah. I immediately let go of the other one and ran towards the other one.

I locked my arms around him. Suddenly, I felt a painful shock as his palms touched the back of my hands. It was so agonizing. This shock was nothing compared to a lightning strike and being shock by electricity.

"Chris, stop!" yelled that boy I tackled down.

He ran in front of us. He grabbed my hands and yanked them off of that one guy's hands. I fell to the ground in pain.

"Ethan," gasped Sarah. She ran over to my side and slowly caressed my forehead.

Ramona and Maria ran to their mates' side.

"Eddie," gasped Ramona, "¿Son usted bien, mi querido?"

"Mi Mona, no se tan preocupados por mí." said Eddie.

"Chris," said the other guy. "Control yourself for God's sake."

"Okay," Chris murmured.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sarah yelled at them. "Can you not control your power or something?!"

"I'm sorry. I know I have a hard time working on it, but it's because—"

"Jesse never taught you," I guessed.

Both of the boys looked at me surprised.

"You know Jesse?"

"Yeah. Tall, lanky, dark brown hair, looks seventeen, and has purple eyes."

"Now how do you two know Jesse," asked Sarah.

"Jesse is our creator," answered the calm one.
