girl
Adelaide met at school,” Lila answered. “New girl. Her name is Ellie, and today
was her first day. Lila walked right up to her in the lunch room.”
    Lucy raised
her eyebrows as she took a seat on the couch. “You don’t think she suspects
anything?” she asked with a concerned frown.
    “How could
she?  She’s only known us one day,” Nate said.
    Lucy’s frown didn’t
let up.
    “Do you think
your feeling has something to do with this girl?” Hugh asked quietly. He rested
one hand on his wife’s leg in an attempt to soothe her.
    “I don’t
know…” Lucy glanced around the room at the faces she loved so much. “It’s
different this time. Almost like I’m getting two separate signals.”
    “Are they
centered on a specific person?” Hugh prodded.
    “No, I…” Lucy
shook her head, visibly frustrated. “Part is good.” She looked up at Alex.
“Like what I picked up on just before we found you. And that part seems to be
very strong. But even stronger is this sense of dread . Something bad is
coming. I feel like we’re all in danger. That’s why I asked you to come home,
Alex. I think we need to protect ourselves, and the best way I can think of to
do that is by being together.”
    The room fell
silent.
    “Do you think
you should meet Ellie right away?” Alex asked his adoptive mother. He shifted
to prop his ankle on his knee.
    Lucy shook her
head. “No. I think if she was like us, it would’ve been pretty obvious to you
guys. Or she might have said something. There’re not many of us around. I think
she’d be too surprised to find three together— let alone nine —not to
say anything.” She turned to her daughter. “Delia? Did you see anything?”
    Adelaide
shrugged. “I saw some relationships between her and a few of us, but nothing
I’m worried about.” She didn’t like to share what she saw about developing or
future relationships. She tended to get a little apprehensive that she would
influence the people involved and affect what could have been.
    The others all
nodded. Alex quietly blew out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding and
squashed that small kernel of hope that had irrationally popped up. He thought, Dang. If she had powers then maybe… But Lucy was right. If she was of their kind, she’d have come forward.
    Hugh leaned
forward, absently tapping his glass. “I think our only option at this point is
to stick together and keep our eyes open. Alex, we’ll need you to stay home for
a while.”
            Alex nodded his agreement and saw Ramsey do the same across the
room. In truth, he often felt a little homesick while he was away at college.
He’d become used to having a family around him, despite the years he’d spent
alone. After his grandfather had passed away in 1917, leaving Alex without any
remaining living relatives, he’d wandered for years. So now secretly, he was
pleased with this chance to be home.
    Alex and the
rest of the family failed to see the large, oddly colored golden falcon perched
high in the trees just outside the house.
     

Chapter 7
     
    Ellie took a
break from her homework and went downstairs, only to find the house empty.
Griffin had apparently gone out. She’d been so distracted with thoughts of Alex
Jenner, a Vyusher could have walked directly in front of her, in full wolf
form, and she wouldn’t have noticed.
    Huh. Now
that I think about it, Griffin’s tapping into my morphing ability. That’s a
little strange, she thought. Ellie was a metamorph, with the ability to
shift into specific animal forms. One being a falcon, inherited from her
father. Griffin hated to fly, but the only one of her morphs he’d been able to
master was her strongest form—the falcon.
    He must be
out doing some scouting of the area, Ellie decided, not bothering to tap
into his mind reading ability to find out what was going on. He’d come home
eventually and probably tell her about it. She went to make some homemade hot
chocolate
