“I think I know someone who has.” Mr. White said, standing up and walking to the doorway, were the twelve year old sat, just out of site of the occupants of the room. He kneeled down to her and said, “Have you heard from your sister?” he asked.

Quiet as a mouse she nodded, then ran to her room. Moments later she arrived two shoe boxes which she placed in the hands of Nicole. To her she said, “Find my sister. Maker her come home. I miss her so much!” she said, and ran into her mother’s arms.

Nicole opened the top box, and pulled out a hand full of envelopes. “It’s letters. She looked at them closer. They are all postmarked Parker City.”

“Rachael, you’ve been writing her letters? And you didn’t tell us?”

“No, she’s been writing me letters, I couldn’t tell, she told me not to. She said she didn’t want anyone to hurt anymore.”

“How often do you get letters from her?” Nicole asked.

“Once a week. The same day every week. I should get one, tomorrow.”

“I thought those were from a friend that moved to the city?” Eliza asked.

“That’s what she told me to say. She said she made it so you wouldn’t ask.” Rachael admitted.

Nicole handed an envelope to Mr. White. He looked at Rachael and asked, “Do you mind if I take the letter out?” when she shook her head no, he pulled out the letter and touched the ink. There was total silence in the room when he blacked out.

Grace was surprised that she could make up a spell on the spur of the moment and make it work. She had made up a spell to grant her invisibility and it worked.

I wish to see them

Without them seeing me

Let me look at them

Without being seen.

She was grateful for the ability to see without being seen, because if her sister had seen her she would certainly have a hard time getting away again. And when she saw her sister, at twelve years old, she was brought nearly to tears. But she was shocked into see the strangers in her parents den. Her tears subsided as she watched a woman hand one of the letters she wrote to a man. She wanted to jump in through the window, and pull the letter away.
