over to the door and opened it. Standing there was Issy, I let her in and wondered what she was doing here.

“Hey, what’s wrong”

I didn’t answer, but my eyes flicked to the drawing on the wall, that my parents had put there to remind me of all the burden of keeping all this a secret. She looked over, and “Did you draw this” she asked in awe.

I was going to answer when…

“No she didn’t” Thomas said

I frowned, why was he here? He didn’t even know where I lived. Thomas had sandy brown hair, blue eyes and he had a crush on me, he had it on me since we were kids, but I had no interest in him, in fact I had no interest in anyone.

“Sure” he said reading my nose, his cheeks were glowing bright red

“I wish you wouldn’t read other people's noise” I said

“But your a girl, and other girls don’t have noise, I just find it interesting” the way he said it was worked, but it had meaning behind it.

“Well” I said “that  still doesn't make it ok to read a girl’s noise even if, I’m the only girl to have noise”

 

I spotted my dad standing in the doorway watching us, mostly Thomas, surveying the scene. Which I didn’t like at all, he looked at me, I looked at him but made no effort to make the others see him, I allow him to watch us.

“I guess that’s true” Thomas said softly, like he had hurt my feeling which he did a bit, a bit.

“I’m sorry” I said, then added “that’s ok, but please don’t read it, but I forgive you” I usually forgave people that need it, which he did. I kinda felt a bit sorry for him, and I meant it, he was reading my nose for the last time but I let him.

 

He looked at me then left the room, dad was watching him go as he walked into the room. “Hello, Mr Hewitt” Issy said

“Please call me Todd”

“Ok” she replied to dad

Throughout that whole conversation I was still wondering how Thomas knew where I lived. It was kinda weird but I didn’t care. A minute later we both said goodbye to Issy. Dad sat down next to me and said

“I heard that convention and I think you're right, so I’ve decided that you can learn to quiet your noise, that’s if you want to”.

“I want to” I said

“Are you sure”? he asked

“I’m sure” I said reassuring him

“... Ok” he said after a bit

The word of his nose suddenly hit me it said 'I am the circle and the circle' is me but it was light and soft then other noise it also had a weird humming noise behind it, my noise was a bit quieter than usual. “keep rethinking that  twice a day only for a couple of days then we’ll see” he said, so I thought I am the circle and the circle is me over and over for the next week until Monday morning. My noise was definitely quieter than it was last week. Mum had meet with me an hour later and taught me ways to hid your talent and what to do when the teacher asked for me to draw, she had taught me for the rest of the week until Monday morning. They both agreed that I could skip out on school and my two friends could to and we all could help Uncle Ben on the farm because both of our farms were joined together.

The Farm

 So we all did just that with Thomas hangout with us more and more, we were in the far paddock with Manche Jr and the sheep and we were talking, apparently both of their parents agreed with mine, they thought that this was a good tool to learn but it was just hard labor, but on our breaks we would sit with uncle Ben and he would tell stories about an old town he used to live in called New Preston town.

 

“Realy”? Tomas said, not believing that there old Mayor had killed all the girls in the town

“Yep, and Todd, your dad” he said to me “Was the last and youngest kid it the town”

Then we all heard dad say, as he walked up to us “Ben, stop that you might one day end up scaring these kids”

“I doubt it” Ben said back, he was the first and only person that could tell my dad what to do apart from my mum.

“HEY TODD” yelled someone running towards us all, Dad had just reached us.

“Todd” said the person quite blankly out of breath

When the person had reached us, she muttered something and clasped to her knees in exhaustion, bent over, dad smiled, he knelt down on both knees and whispered something in her ear which made her sit up straight so fast it made her lean down again, she tried to sit up again slowly this time, she succeeded and slow sat crossed-legged in front of us.

“What was that” dad said kindly and softly

“Todd” she whispered “I just came… from the h-house of healing, and Mistress Bathlway said that Mistress Loaran to me to tell you that… We found her, we found her beside the lake, she  has blue eyes Viola and Todd will know her, please she need help she dying, we need help and power”

“I told people that was over though” was dad’s response

“Come on, Todd, you need to, that poor girl needs help, you're not going to let one innocent life die are you?” asked Ben

He shook his head, then I steeped in “Please, I don’t want anyone to die even if that person is...” I stopped talking, I had said too much, so I just gave him my book open at the picture of the girl. I gave it to the girl on the ground and asked her “Is this what she looks like”?

She took the book, looked at the drawing and dropped my book “Yes… but how did you…”?

“That doesn't matter now, fine I’ll go but only if you…” He stopped and said the rest in his noise, Ben, the girl and I could hear it but no one else could.

The dad literally yelled “VIOLA” as loud as he could in his nose and out of his mouth, I saw mum jump on her horse and bring dad’s horse with her, when they reached us he said hello to his horse and told her he was there in a soft voice I had never heard him use before. Dad climbed his horse and they said goodby to us and left, they rode off into the distance. The girl left a minute later.

“What  was that about”? asked Thomas

“I have no idea”  said Issy

Then they looked at me, then Thomas said “Are you going to say something or not”?

“uhh” I replied biting my lip, I am the circle and the circle is me, my noise got quieter, until it was completely silenced.

Emily (Thomas)

Emily, I care deeply about her, I looked at her, she was leaning on the fence, biting her lip nervelessly, then she stops biting her lip and takes a couple of steps back towards Ben, it’s only then when I realized what I was thinking. I felt my cheeks redden and grow hotter, I wish I could just tou… then I stopped, I’m trying to think of anything apart from her but it is extremely hard. So I just keep thinking about her but with less interest, than her and Issy left said they wanted a drink, I mean I don’t blame them, so I left said under my breath that I had to go home.

 

The House of Healing (Todd)

As we walked into The House of Healing we meet Mistress Loaran, she lead Viola and me down to the end of one of the hallways, there stood Mistress Bathlway waiting for us. She gave us a slight nod as she opened the door into an old looking room but with high-tech stuff in it.

We both walked in and saw a girl lying on the bed with a lot of machinery hooked up to her, I felt sorry for the poor girl. Mistress Loaran, Viola and me walked up to the side of the bed that the girl was laying in, Viola gasped and I was bloody shocked, this girl was on the council and went missing, her name was Allison, she was the one that was always fighting to get her way but standing here right now and just seeing her lying in this bed was just sad.

“Where exactly did you find her” I asked

“We found her by the base of the river and she was in a bad condition, she still is”. Mistress Loaran replied

I checked to see if I could hear her and I could, I smiled as I began to read her noise. It took a long time but I finally finished reading her noise, she had had it rough, it was horrible.

“What”? Viola whispered from next to me, she was holding my hand

“She is still alive I can hear her, she’s had a rough time, it’s malicious the way that she was treated, I’d advise that no one ask her what happened, I told her that we were here and waiting” I said quietly

“How”? Mistress Loaran asked

“It’s a talent” I said back to her

I showed Viola what Allison had been through and what had happened, Viola was horrified, you could tell by the look on her face.
