I can see that Mom is calming down; the oils really do work. But I'm anxious to hear what Daddy has to say- anxious, and scared. He had always been a gentle and loving father with us, but I remember his temper well. I'm worried that he may not be as easily taken in. I hope he can at least tell that we are not the enemy.
I feel my brother squeeze my hand and whisper an apology. I turn to glance at Zan, who is looking the most uncomfortable of the lot. I suppose that for one thing, his powers must be driving him crazy, particularly in this room. But it isn't hard to tell that his own emotions must be running wild too, being so close to the people who gave him away. I smile as Lex goes to him to offer his support, hoping that his calming effect on him will work as well as it did on me.
"What happened in your future that was so bad that you chose to come here?" asks Liz, the woman whom I know to be Vega's mother.
You'll never even come close to imagining it... I think bitterly, biting down on my lower lip because I don't trust myself to speak. I look at my best friend who has always been so much stronger, wishing I could have just a little bit of the confidence she exhibits.
Then I turn to run my eyes over Dominic, who has been my pillar of strength all this time. He is the only one with no parents standing in this room, not actually. But as always, he holds himself like the leader he is.
