Three young children stood in front of their house, the eldest, just 13 years old was holding her baby sister who was 1 year old. Her 9 year old brother stood next to them “Abby, what are we going to do?” He asked looking up at his sister. Abby looked down “Well....” And before she could say anything further, their father’s attorney showed up “Children, you’re going to be taken to your aunt’s house.”

Abby looked confused “We don’t have an aunt. .” The attorney looked surprised “You’re mother and father’s best friend. She has the room for all of you.” Mortimer said “now get in the hover craft.” The three children climbed in and sat back, waiting. Their parents had gone missing several years before and they had been staying with the Nanny until she died in the fire. Abby knew that their parents were still alive, she could feel them through their bond, her’s was the strongest of the three children, as far as she knew. None of them knew about the youngest child’s abilities yet. They did know she could be cunning.
