half an hour later. Levagne couldn't wait. If he couldn't have both he needed at least one. Your grandfather was the closest the levagne could get without being discovered."
"So my brother's dead?"
"No. He's very much alive and will stay that way until you are dead."
Casey stared at this woman. Had she lost her mind? Maybe she was trying to mess with her head.
"Why me?"
"Because you," she said pointing for emphasis,"You have your brother's gift."
"The telepathy." Casey whispered,"You said I used my gift before, why don't I remember?"
"You wouldn't. You weren't even born yet."
Casey wiped her tears. She didn't have to ask twice. She had pieced it together. The complication. She had taken her brother's gift. He had let her take it.
"There's another reason."
Casey looked up demanding.
"They want you dead because you carry the gene that puts a rift in the gift."
"What do you mean?"
"After you, your offspring will be born with the gift."
"I thought you said it happened every third generation?"
"That will change with you."
"And my sister?"
"What about her?"
"She's on that gift tree."
"Hmm. I believe she has already served her purpose."
"What purpose?"
"It never once occurred to you that a year after your sister was born, your father started taking trips?"
Casey shook her head.
"Your sister is the key to finding your brother. Your father saw this and tried to save him. But only those with the gift can bare the torture of the levagne."
"Oh dear God." Casey breathed tears falling again. She needed space to think. This was all too much. She started for the door. She stopped, without looking back,"How do you know so much?"
"I saw your grandfather doing something that I shouldn't have. He told me. Everything. And I told your father. Had he been alive you would have known. Your mother knows as well but since that night she found it too much to handle and always resented me. She believed I brought a curse on her perfect family."
"What do you think?"
"What I think matters not." Emily stood and picked up the ring. She walked over to Casey,"You don't know how to fully control your gift. That only responds to the gift. It hums when the levagne are near."
Casey took the ring and slipped it into her pocket,"But don't you need it?"
Emily smiled and removed the gold chain that hung around her neck. There was a gold locket on the end. Engraved on the back:Casey and Jevaint. She folded it into Casey's hand,'My time is near. And I don't need the gift to see that. I've lived a full life and saw many things. When I'm gone don't mourn me and stay away from my funeral. Remember he wants you dead."
Casey nodded in approval of her grandmother's last wishes. She wanted to tell her it was going to be alright but she didn't know where to begin,"I love you."
Emily smiled,"And I you."
In that moment Casey could have sworn she saw a tear fall from the old lady's eye. She said nothing. Slowly she turned to walk out. She had to start a new life. A tear fell from her eye.
Without the people she loved.
