"Invite your sis to join us," Abby said."But..." Lisa started to say something but trailed off.I was stunned and confused. I didn't know what was goi...g on. I wantedto join them but was afraid of a misunderstanding. I wanted to meet newfriends but I needed to finish my job in the kitchen-garden. When I'dfinished the girls all were gone."What about that 'sis' business?" I asked Lisa, "why didn't you correctAbby?" Have you seen yourself in the mirror recently?" she asked instead.I was about to. A high school student, 19 years old, and crying. She didn’t notice me, had I not been able to read such things. I might of think I scared her off the edge. No, the grim and me both sensed her resolve. She jumped.I followed her and slowed time down for all but her ability to communicate with me. The look of shock would normally be amusing, but I don’t find this situation amusing.“What the, what is happening?” She screamed.I ignored the typical question for now. “I am, a powerful person. I slowed. I asked if he was bringing my cousin his son, he said not sure, didnt mention anything about it. We finished and got our gear on and headed out to the forest and to our blinds for the deer season to begin.Came back at camp for dinner time. Heard a few shots dad, but I didnt get anything and I see you didnt either. He said were going to head into town when your uncle gets here and grab some grub n beer. Uncle arrived, I was hoping my cuz would of been with him. But it was just him. dad said help. She took me into her house, offered me shelter, offered me a job, offered me a place in the world.At first, I pushed her away, I resisted her attempts to mould me into the girl that she wanted. And, when I did, she wouldn't respond with anger, simply disappointment. There were no punishments in those early days, save for her disdain. That stung more than any spanking ever could.But even the sharpest rock in the fastest river becomes smooth with time, and so it was with me. Fear of rebuke,.
