JENNIFER'S POV
• •
The time is 6:30am and that's actually the time I'm finally reaching to Amber's home with my sisters.
Don't be surprised I said 6:30 am, like I said before, my house is very far from my school, it is a long journey.
So my sisters were still asleep at the back of the car apart from Birdie who was sitting in front of the car beside me, she waked up just few minutes ago.
"Sister, how are you able to drive through out the night and you didn't fell asleep?" Birdie asked as I smiled at her.
"Don't worry, just like you said when you get to my age you will understand how possible it is, okay?" I said to her and she nodded.
And slowly I drive into Amber's compound and beeps for them making my sisters to wake up from sleep and I saw them slowly opening their eyes.
"Alright girls, we have finally arrive at our destination" I refered to my sisters as they slowly stretches themselves and yawns.
Of course I know that it is really a long journey so they needed to sleep and they have.
Just in my friend Amber stepped out of her house and approaches my car as we hugs each other.
"I have missed you just within this one day we didn't get to see each other" She whispered in my ear.
"And you should of course know that I am a liar if I say that I did not miss you as well!" I responded to her.
And then Yulia and Lilian stepped out of the car looking at Amber.
"Your sisters? they look more beautiful than you Jennifer!" Amber said as I stares at her with a none smiling face as she approaches Yulia.
"Hey, you guys are welcome to my home, my name is Amber and I'm your sister's best friend" Amber said as Lilian interrupted.
"Yeah I know that" Lilian replied making the both of us to stare at each other wondering how she get to know, she has not been here before.
So what does she mean by she know? she of course know nothing about me and Amber because I did not tell her about us.
"Yes I know, I heard when she was talking to you on the phone and I am grateful that you didn't reject us, thank you for that" Lilian said making Amber to breathes out heavily and stares at me before looking at her again.
"Hey, it's fine, I assure you and your sister that things will get better very soon okay?"
"Plus it's fun in here and I believe that you girls will love my home" Amber said to the both of them and that is when I discovered that Birdie is not present.
"Where is Birdie?" I asked as I looked into the car immediately but to my surprise she is not inside.
"Where is Birdie! Birdie?" I screamed with a loud voice looking around and just for her to answer right behind the car.
"Am here!" Her voice sounded at the back of the car and I went to check wondering what she was doing there.
And so my sisters and Amber followed me so we can see what she's doing at the back of the car.
We approached her just to discover that she was busy opening the fuel tank of the car.
"Oh my gush! Birdie what the hell are you doing there please leave there!" I yelled at her as hand was already stained with oil.
Making me to grasp and observes her hand "You need to get her some water so she can be able to wash her hand" I requested from Amber and she nods.
"But Birdie what the hell are you doing?" I asked as she shrugs her shoulder.
"Nothing more, I just want to make sure that my suspicious is complete" She said but I was not fully getting what she's trying to say.
"I don't understand?" I replied.
"Of course you won't understand until I have to explain what I am talking about"
"The issue is that you didn't put fuel inside this car before driving it did you?" Birdie ask making me to look at her, I couldn't answer that question because I don't really understand why she is asking such questions.
"Of course you didn't, and I am pretty sure that there was no fuel inside the car because the tank is leaking and I was the one that destroyed it" she said making us to stare at her with a surprised look on our face.
"Am sorry for destroying the tank because I was actually playing around the car that very day when it happened, sorry but I didn't do it intentionally" She responded as I hugs her.
"It's okay" I said because I thought it was all about children's behaviour I didn't know that she has something up her mind she's trying to talk about.
"Yeah, wait a minute" She said as I was trying to cuddle her.
"There is something I am not understanding about the new you Jennifer, please can you tell me how you were able to drive this car for so many hours without fuel in it" Birdie asked making me and Amber to stare at ourselves.
And of course, Lilian and Yulia are already looking at me because it's surprising to them that what they are not able to find out, Birdie had it on her hand.
So they were all looking at me waiting for me to answer.
"Come on Birdie, there is fuel inside the car, you know you are a kid and you might not be aware okay" I said as she interrupted me.
"No big sis, it's not true because I am aware that there is no fuel inside this car and you were driving it" She said and Amber notice that it is already getting out of my hand also she decided to help.
"It's okay girls, please you don't talk to your sister in that manner okay!?"
"Now let's go inside so that I will be able to show you girls around" Amber said as they all walks to the house with their belongings while Amber stayed behind so that we can be able to have a little discussion.
"How long are you going to keep it a secret for them?" Amber asked as I kept staring at my sisters walking into her house.
"I don't know but I'll have to keep it for as long as it requires" I responded and then looks up to her face.
"And what about you, is your family aware of your powers?" I asked as she nods.
"My siblings? yes they are all aware of my powers, it was my parents only that has no idea of my true self in my family" Amber responded as she taps me on my shoulder.  
"I am thinking that you should do the same to your sisters and beside they are the only thing you have left on Earth so they deserve to know"
"But before we can have a better conversation I think I need to make something for them to eat, come on" She said as she grabs my hand and we make our way inside the house.

CASTOR'S POV•
• •
The time is 7:00 am but I am still sleeping like a baby on top of Mirabel's bed.
It was a small turn and I woke up just to discover that it is late already, and I am supposed to have been home by 6:00 a.m. so that my parents will not be able to find out that I actually went out after they warned me not to.
"Shit!" I said as I jumped put of the bed immediately and puts on my trousers and as well place my shirt on top of my shoulder and left the room.
And just arriving at the parlour I met Mirabel "Oh Castor, you are leaving? you could have wait for me to finish making something for you" She said as she approaches me.
"Come on! I told you that I was supposed to be at home before this time and you allowed me to keep sleeping in here! you couldn't wake me up! and now what do you want me to tell my parents?" I asked out of annoyance.
"Don't worry about you parents Castor, I have got them under my control and I promise that they will not shout for you when you get back home"
"So all I just want you to do for me now is to relax while I prepare a sweet meal for you and after that you can tell me about Mira and her friend Eliz which is the main reason why you are here"
"Okay?" Amber asked.

    It is worth reading and satisfying because you are able to understand the story very well. It is written very precisely that you are able to be hooked in the story. I recommend this book to those people who want a genre of fantasy and mystery
