Rose's POV

It's been almost two weeks since my baby girl had her surgery. She's doing so much better it's like she was never even sick. The doctors think that she was sick before because of this. It's all my fault. If I had just taken her to the doctor when she had first felt bad we could have avoided all of this. I should have been a better mother, more observant, more take charge. My daughter hates school but she hates missing it more. She likes watching her mommy beat up her Uncle Eddie. She wouldn't let me take her out of well, she's in daycare, but she has tons of friends so she didn't want to miss it. I had to take her out when she had a fever.

Dimitri's been hanging around. A lot and where Dimitri goes Tasha follows like a lost puppy needing to be fixed. She was so annoying. I once caught her asking Katie who he father was. I was so pissed I grabbed her by her hair and yanked her out of the room getting a chunk of hair in the process. Everyone, with the exception of Lissa, was pissed at me. She now has a bald spot. It's not small either.

The doctors were finally releasing Katie. They said she had to take it easy and no rowdy play. She wasn't allowed back at school still for a week. I was finally going to get her back. Some sense of normalcy could return. I was talking to her doctor about what to do if she got sick and how much medicine she'll be taking.

Nightfall came and once Katie woke up from her nap we started packing up. Chris and Lissa were helping me so they had Tasha watch their kids.

Andrew's POV

Auntie Tasha was scary. Em-Em saw darkness around her. Momma says Em-Em's a spirit user. Momma says you can't tell what power you have except Momma's also a spirit user so she can tell. She also says I have a tiny bit of spirit but am a fire user. Even though Em-Em can't talk she still told me Auntie was a bad person. We have this super-secret way of communicating. I once tried to tell daddy but he didn't believe me. He said, 'You and Emily have a special bond that nobody can separate but Emily is still too young to talk.' Em-Em and I can communicate from spirit. That's what I've figured out. Em-Em sends me her feeling through spirit and I receive them and send her some back. I could even tell what was wrong like if she was hurt I would feel the pain and make it better.

Auntie Tasha was trying to give Em-Em her bottle. She would cry when Auntie came near. Then Auntie would snap at me when I tried to help. Em-Em and I get along best. She's my baby sis and I'll protect her with my life. Right now she was sending me feeling of terror and pain. It felt like she was getting burned where Auntie touched her. I clamped my jaw shut against the scream clawing at my throat. I ran to my room. Auntie was too busy hurting Em-Em to notice my departure.

I had grabbed the phone on my way to my room. I flopped down on my fire truck bed and started crying. I hit the one button, it was daddy's phone, and heard it ringing. "Hello?" daddy asked.

"Daddy," I sopped, "She's hurting Em-Em."

"Who's hurting your sister? Where are you? Is Tasha trying to help? Are you in a safe location? We're on our way," daddy said in a rush.

"We're home. I'm in my room. Em-Em's scared of Auntie so she won't eat. Autie got annoyed and burned her," I said.

"What!" daddy roared. I flinched. Daddy only used that tone to people who were mean to mommy or us. "Don't hand up, Andre." Mommy and daddy's nickname for me is mommy's brother's name.

"Okay, daddy," I said.

"I'm going to let mommy talk to you so I can drive, okay baby?" daddy asked. I made a uh huh sound.

Lissa's POV

I could hear Christian talking frantically to someone on the phone. I was helping Rose make sure Katie was okay. I couldn't hear who Christian was talking to because he was in the other room but it sounded bad.

He was still on the phone but came in to grab me. I had half a mind to start asking where we were going but was too shocked to act on it. I was pulled to our car and throw in the passenger side. Christian handed me his phone then hopped in the front and took off at Rose-Hathaway-on-crack speed. I said hello really confused as to who could spike this reaction in him.

"Mamma," Andrew whispered. "It hurts really badly."

"Oh baby, what hurts? Are you okay?" I asked. I covered the mouth piece and asked Christian to speed up.

I kept Andrew calm until we arrived. Once we entered our apartment I saw why Andrew was freaking out. Emily was crying like mad and Tasha looked pissed.

I grabbed my daughter out of that woman's arms and started holding her. I looked at her aura to see what was wrong and she was hurt. Tasha was dead.

A/N Hey guys so I don't know how auras work but I'm trying them like this. I wasn't sure about Andrew's POV but now I'm happy I put that in there. Please review if you want more.
