The Stone Sisters: Lyssa (The Stones Sisters Book 1) by Bekah Clark Page A

rolled her eyes, leaned against the nearest sink and stared off.   As she did, her eyes started to glow as her whites of her eyes as well as her pupils disappeared and only the gray-blue remained.   When she had a flash, Lyssa could feel it coming on and would close her eyes to hide the glow.   However, this was just the two of them and Lyssa was forcing it.   No easy task.
     
    “What do you see?”
     
    “Shut up.”
     
    “Well, what do you see?”
     
    “Nothing beyond your irritating me so shut up!”
     
    Lexa paced in quick rapid steps.   She started to gnaw on her thumbnail.   If Anna was a Hunter…Lexa didn’t want to think about that outcome.   What if Anna’s family worked for the government and she reported the oddness that was the Stone sisters.   That could happen.   They could…
     
    “Nothing.”
     
    “What?” Lexa asked, clearly surprised by the pronouncement.
     
    Lyssa sighed, the color of her eyes returning to normal as the brilliant glow, which hid the details of her gaze, faded.   Standing up straight, she walked over to Lexa and pulled her into a hug.   Softly, she stroked her sister’s hair.   Lyssa was trying to comfort Lexa in her own way.   However, that wasn’t what Lexa wanted so she pulled away roughly.   Regretting it the moment she saw a little hurt in Lyssa’s eyes.
     
    “Listen, Lexx, I know you’re scared.   Worried about what will happen to us.   But I saw no Hunters coming for us, no human authorities.”
     
    “What about Anna?”
     
    “Nothing stood out.   I see no instances where she accuses us of anything, nor any instances of her leading Hunters to us.   I looked for that and that alone.   I’m not going to violate her privacy by trying to look at every aspect of her life.   You know I hate doing that!”
     
    Lexa frowned and then looked down.   Lyssa was right and Lexa trying to force her into looking deeper into Anna was not right.   It was also cruel to Lyssa who, as much as she relied on the gift to keep them safe, hated the gift.   It had taken Lyssa years to learn to control it.   Now the only flashes of insight she got were when one or both of them was in real danger.   It was how Lyssa had found her so quickly when Jack-Ass thought he’d have his way with Lexa.   Lexa had been in real physical harm and Lyssa had come to the rescue.   She really was the best sister and Lexa had to remind herself not to take advantage of that.
     
    “Ok, sorry.”
     
    With that, Lexa popped the lock and the two of them went their separate ways to their classrooms.   Lexa had Spanish with Anna and Missy.   At least she didn’t have to pay attention to the class very much.   She knew Spanish, but foreign language was a requirement for sophomores.   Why couldn’t Lyssa just put that they were twins?   Sure, Lexa wasn’t as book smart as her sister was, but Lyssa could have helped her.   Granted, Lexa was almost two years younger, but Lyssa and her looked close enough in age no one would know.
     
    Then again, she never would have met Missy.   Grinning at Missy and Anna while her back was to the teacher, Lexa made her way to the seat in the back and slipped in.   The rest of the day was a dull blur as she eagerly waited for the final bell to ring.   That last bell of the day just wouldn’t ring fast enough for her.
     
    When the last bell did finally ring, Lexa made sure that Missy and Anna understood the directions she gave them.   Quickly, she headed off to meet Lyssa at the car.  She spotted her sister making her way to the Audi and Lexa's brows shot up.  Lyssa was looking nervous as hell and right beside her was Kyle.  Lexx didn't know whether she should laugh or pity Lyssa.  It was unreal how Lyssa had no idea how to deal with Kyle.  If, in the past, another boy had been interested in Lyss to the point where he wasn't scared off by the bitch persona, maybe she'd have some experience now.  But, in the last three and a half
