Excerpt from THE HIDDEN LEGACY:



Oh no, please, not while I’m in class!


Rachel was running through the park again, but even though this was the third time I was watching the attack, it felt different. Something changed, but was that possible?


She sped past where I was sitting on a park bench.

“Help!” she screamed.

I wanted to help but she was so far out of reach.

“Faye? Are you okay?” Rachel’s voice appeared distant in reality. I was getting caught between the vision and the real world.

Hopefully, I only looked spaced out.

In the vision, Rachel was cut off by the first attacker as she always was. So she ran back towards me. I smacked the bench I found myself sitting on and managed to give myself a sliver.

Why? Why was this happening? Why did this keep happening?

“Faye,” Rachel whispered in reality. “What’s going on? Why are you acting like this?”

I couldn’t answer her. I was still stuck in the premonition of her death. It was killing me to see it happen again and I refused to watch any more.

I wanted to cry.
I wanted out.
I wanted out NOW.

Colors and chattering exploded around me and I had to blink a few times before my eyes focused on a worried-looking Rachel sitting next to me. She wasn’t being attacked. She wasn’t in faded colors. She was in photography class. Safe. For now.

My eyes teared up when I noticed the stares students were giving me. Did people know what an outsider I was? Had I scared Rachel away?

Without knowing what else to do, I pushed out my chair and walked out of the classroom. I just cleared the doorway when the tears began falling.

Then I ran.
