they were still not in English.  It was as if the vision had translated them for me.
    I had thought that he was casting another spell, but I soon found out that I was wrong.  He was praying for forgiveness for taking yet another life.  He had called to the higher power again, but this time his heart was filled with grief.  The only thing that I could hope for was that he would receive the pardon that he so desperately wanted.
    The vision disappeared as quickly as it had appeared and for that I was thankful.  For me to be able to see what had really gone on up there eased my worry and allowed me to have a better understanding of my father’s true nature.
    Now that the deed was done, I knew that I was going to have to make sure that Alice and Caleb were ready to leave. 
    They were both waiting in the living room when I came down the hallway.  Each of them had their bags in hand.  They looked relieved and happy to be leaving, but I knew that they were unsure of what was about to happen and how their lives were born to be from here on out.
    I smiled at both of them trying to reassure them that everything was going to be okay, saying anything.  Alice smiled back whole heartedly and I knew that this was going to be her new beginning, a chance for a life without having to worry.
    Caleb is a little more reserved and cautious than she is.  He wants to know the details about everything, no matter if it is a simple matter or something complex.  I can say that I will blame him.  If it were me, I would want to know as well.
    He is her protector, her love and I had no doubts that he would do anything in his power to keep her safe.
    I could feel my father getting closer to us.  He and Max had just entered the passageway.  My father’s sadness with still a strong as it was in my vision.  I could hear their footsteps getting closer to the door I did know whether I wanted to open it or wait for them.  If they were born to say anything before entering, I did want to be the one to interrupt.  They could be discussing something that I did need to know about until the decision was made to tell me, but I was sure that my father knew about my vision.  How could he not?  I am directly linked to his power.  I am his daughter.
    The door opened slowly and Max came in.  His face stained with tears.  I could tell that he had done his best to try to erase the evidence from his face, that that was a hard thing to do when a person cried as hard as he had.
    I ran to him, wanting to comfort him as much as I could.  He needed me right now and all wanted to console him, to make everything okay.  My arms held him in a tight embrace and he began to cry again.
    Alice and Caleb must have thought that we needed privacy because they left the room as quietly as they could.  To be the monsters that we are, their hearts are full of love and kindness everything and everyone.
    Max tried to gather himself enough so that he could be able to talk, but I wasn’t in any hurry.  I could stand like this with him forever.
    “I’m so sorry Laynie.”
    “Don’t be.  I knew what was going to happen.”
    “You knew?” Max asked, confusion sweeping over his face.
    “Yes, I knew.”
    “How?”
    I wasn’t sure if now was the time for me to explain my vision.  He had a right to know that I was experiencing my power for the first time.  Maybe that would be something that he could do to help me.  The only thing left for me to do was to tell him everything.
    Max listened quietly as I told him about my vision.  I went through it leaving no details untold.  If he was going to be able to understand what I saw I could not miss any anything, no matter how small a thought it was.
    The more that I said, the water his eyes became.  He had an astonished look that made me proud.  It was like I was only a witch and not a vampire witch.
    When I had almost reached the end of my vision, my father walked in the door.  He closed it gently behind him and turned
