their
gifts. Jonathan, who used telekinesis, moved things around to look
for his sister. Merrick turned into a bunny and was hopping around
with Mackena chasing after him.
No one was sure what Mack’s gift would be. It
usually wasn’t evident until the age of five.
Keara was slightly different from the rest of
the family. Usually elves only partnered with other elves. That was
not the case with Brigid. She fell in love with a Warlock who was
not her destined partner and Keara was conceived. Keegan thought
Keara felt out of place. She knew she wasn’t quite like the other
elves. Everyone else had pale skin and flushed cheeks. Not Keara.
Her skin was a beautiful light mocha color with rosy cheeks showing
through and pointy ears. They always tried to convince her how
lucky she was, but she had yet to see it.
Keara could change the weather and turn on
and off anything electrical, and that was just for now. As she
aged, she would continue finding out more about her abilities.
Unfortunately, her warlock father took off and was never heard from
again and eventually Brigid agreed to meet her chosen mate and has
been with him ever since.
Keegan’s mom sounded off from the kitchen,
“Kids come in to eat.”
“Mom, were not finished,” Keegan groaned.
“Now!”
The kids mumbled as they headed to the dining
room where the complaining quickly came to an end. The food was
delicious.
Keegan noticed her uncle had arrived and was
in deep conversation with her dad. He was nicknamed Paul Bunyan for
his incredible height and weight; over 200 pounds, which was quite
large for an elf.
Keegan’s grandmother finished icing the cake.
It looked delicious. They sang Happy Birthday and Merrick tore through his
toys, most of which he liked. He opened one and said, “Hey, I
didn’t ask—” and then stopped mid-sentence and said, “This is
awesome! I’ve always wanted one.”
They all looked over at Brigid whose gift was
manipulating thoughts. She just shrugged her shoulders and
smiled.
After the party was over and Keegan said
goodnight, she headed up to her room to get ready for school the
next day. She had a big test in physics. Math and science came easy
to her, so she didn’t need to study, although she was not even in
the same ball park as her Uncle John when it came to numbers. There
was something about science that drew her in, and it was like her
mind worked differently than others. Teachers asked her to explain
a problem, and she would get the correct answer, but often they had
never thought of doing it her way. Sometimes they even thought she
had cheated because Keegan finished so much quicker than others and
didn’t have to write out all the work to get the correct answer.
She would sleep well because she knew she'd ace the test, easy.
CHAPTER 7
K eegan smiled as she walked down the halls and saw
her friends waiting for her. She attended a Catholic school, and
other than the uniforms, she thought it was fantastic. She loved
going to school, which was kind of odd for a teenager. School was a
place where she felt normal around her human friends. All the girls
managed to add some individuality to the uniforms with jewelry,
makeup and hair accessories. Lately, she’d taken to adding a scarf
to her uniform, and so far no one had told her to take it off. It
was a fashion trend that she picked up during her time in Dubai
with her family. They traveled a lot, at least twice a year and
always took trips out of the country. Her parents wanted them to
see there was more to the world than the United States.
Donald spotted her and thought, Why does she have to be an
elf? He had no issue with the fact that she wasn’t human. He
wasn’t human either. It drove him crazy, but he knew she could
never return his feelings, not in the way he needed. Because she
was an elf, she had an inability to feel deeply about anyone other
than her chosen mate. They could date, but it would never lead
anywhere. Last year, she had
gifts. Jonathan, who used telekinesis, moved things around to look
for his sister. Merrick turned into a bunny and was hopping around
with Mackena chasing after him.
