TJ felt like as if a rug was pulled from under her. Were her parents speaking the truth? Supernatural powers? Is that even real?

"TJ?" Her mother called out her name worriedly. She wasn't responding to the information they just gave her.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" Her father tried, but it was all in vain. She won't answer.

"TJ, talk to us!" Her mother pleaded. Then something struck her, and she tried again, "Tiffany Josephine," She called her from her full name, and it did the trick. TJ scowled.

"It's TJ, Mother," She reminded her mother who sighed in relief. "What do you want me to say?" TJ asked her parents.

"Anything, just talk to us," Her father said, and she sighed.

"Did you see him?" She asked again, and her parents shook their heads.

"We didn't, but we do believe that you saw him. Maybe you have the powers like we used to have," Her father told her.

"Then please explain why am I not crazy like others think," TJ wanted to know.

"Let me start from the beginning," Her father started and TJ nodded. "Aldcoast High is a school for people with supernatural powers called Enchanters. Your mother and I were a part of it. I used to manipulate the energy around me, and your mother could control the weather. We spent most of our lives there. You see Aldcoast isn't just a school, it has a community of people like us who live there. More like a town," Her father explained, and TJ nodded at the information.

"What do you mean by 'had'? Why are you referring to your powers in past tense? Why don't we live there?" TJ asked some of the many questions clouding her mind.

"Because we don't have our powers anymore," Her mother answered. There was a pain in her eyes, and TJ thought she could relate to her mother. They had powers, and she was sure it was for a long time. It was just like Lacrosse and her, if the sport was taken away from her, maybe she would feel the same.

"What happened?" She asked carefully, not to hurt her parents.

"Seventeen years ago, there was a blast. It was like dark magic and absorbed us off of our powers. Everyone who was present there was deprived of their powers, which were most of us. Aldcoast suffered a lot and even after trying everything, no one could get back. We decided to leave and settle like normal humans. The ones who didn't lose their powers tried to re-establish the school," Her father told her and TJ could see that her parents still missed those days, how couldn't they.

"If you don't have powers, then how come I have them?" TJ asked.

"Your mother was conceiving you when the blast happened, everyone thought that maybe you were a normal child too. The blast did affect your powers, though. Your powers are appearing at a much slower rate than most of the Enchanter kids. That's why we want you to go to Aldcoast, so you'll learn and know what you can do," Her father told her with a smile.

"What can I do? See ghosts?" TJ asked, confused from what she heard.

"I don't know about that TJ, maybe you have more powers. We have to go there and find out," Her mother replied with uncertainty.

"Alright, I need to process all of it, so I'll be in my baby sister's room if you need me," TJ quipped standing up. Her parents smiled at TJ as her mother caressed her stomach lovingly.

TJ was sitting on her bed going through Aldcoast's website. She found the website was up to date and wondered who operated it. She learned that the present headmistress was named Calista Thorton, and she looked awfully familiar.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door. "It's open!" She called out loudly and saw her father entering her room.

"What's up?" She asked her father, keeping her laptop aside on sleep mode.

"I wanted to talk to you, TJ," Her father told her and she nodded, and turned to face him as he sat on her bed.

"What's bothering you?" She asked her father. TJ always knew when something bothered him, his forehead would be wrinkled and his mouth would be turned in a frown.

"Nothing particular," He murmured looking at her when TJ felt that her father wanted to tell her something.

"You ate all the cookies Mother made, didn't you?" TJ tried to lighten her father's mood. She succeeded when her father gave TJ a sheepish smile. "I won't tell her," TJ said crossing her two fingers over her heart, and her father laughed.

"You're a good kid, TJ. I am really sorry all this is happening to you. First the accident and then we revealed that you might be an Enchanter. I can't imagine how hard this would be for you," Her father said, worry clear in his voice and she understood what bothered him.

"I'm not bottling up, Father, if that's what you are afraid of, " TJ tried to reassure him, "Yes, the past year had been difficult for me, and it felt like I am losing my mind when I think I see him, but this Enchanter thing is making sense. I know what your reunions were now, and why you didn't take me there. I don't blame you both, neither I am mad at you guys. You were just not telling something I didn't need to know, its fine. Don't beat up yourself because I am screwed up in the head," TJ tried to joke but failed miserably. TJ knew that seeing him was disturbing her a lot, her father knew that too.

"You're not screwed up in the head, TJ. We'll figure out everything soon," Her father said with a warm smile. "Can you tell me something?" He asked her and she nodded. "Is it only him you see? No one else other than him?" He asked her, and TJ stiffened.

She never thought that "I don't know. I mean I didn't realize that I could see ghosts until him. I don't know if I can tell who is a ghost and who is real. He looked pretty much like he used to," TJ told her father who frowned hearing his daughter.

"TJ...don't tell your mother, but I don't think you can see ghosts. Just be careful alright," He stated, patting her head.

"Okay...You just confused me a hell lot. What do you mean by not seeing ghosts? Am I hallucinating?" TJ asked worriedly, and her father shook his head.

"No, nothing is wrong with your head, sweetie. Can you explain me the accident again?" He asked her. TJ stiffened and shook her head. It wasn't that she forgot it. She couldn't, she just wasn't ready to talk about it. She hadn't since the past one year. "It's okay, you should get some sleep. And I want you to do something for me," Her father told her.

"What?" She asked her father.

"Have fun, spend your 2 weeks with your friends. Make the most of it. You don't know when you'll meet them," He said, and TJ nodded.

"Thanks, Father. Good night," She smiled as her father got up.

"Good night, sweetie," He said, and bent to kiss his daughter's forehead. Theodore was well aware that his daughter was still grieving, she won't ever stop. She thought that she was responsible for what happened a year ago.

As he closed her bedroom door, Theodore realized that maybe TJ was something that he and Arabella couldn't imagine. Maybe she was their only hope, or maybe not. Right now, even the seventeen-year-old tomboy wasn't even aware of what was coming for her.
