lump in her throat, strangling her words. “What do you think
they will do to us?”
    “I don’t know, but we have to try to get out
of here before we give them an opportunity to do anything. Can you
break free from the chains?”
    My relief at hearing Jacob’s strong response
is cut short as the terrifying thought of their being chained and
trying to do anything that may put them in further danger overtakes
me. Before my own fear severs our connection, I concentrate on
Nicole’s strangled whisper.
    “My hands are bound too tight. They’re not
budging. Do you think that mom and dad know we are missing by now?”
Despite her hushed tone, I can hear her hysteria rising.
    “I’m not sure. Do you have any idea how long
we’ve been out?”
    As I squeeze Damian’s hand, I feel Nicole’s
shock as his faint reflection appears before them. “We know that
you are missing. We are looking for you now. Your mother is with
you and can feel you and see what you are seeing. Try to observe as
much as you can, any information which you can send her way will
help. We love you and we are all here, we are searching. Remember,
the less information that you give to them and the more you can
discern, the more it will help to keep you safe. We love you very
much.”
    Approaching footsteps echo from a hallway.
Grabbing Emma’s hand, I see Damian’s reflection vanish as Nicole
and Jacob hang their heads feigning unconsciousness. Listening
intently, the door creeks open, someone takes two more steps and
then the door slams shut and the footsteps fade. Although their
hearts are pounding wildly with fear, and Nichole’s eyes are veiled
by tears, I can see hope lightening Jacob’s features knowing that
we are looking for them and I am in some form with them. My heart
aches to comfort my precious daughter as her tears stream down her
face.
    Jacob’s features turn worrisome as he stares
upon his sister. His voice turns soft and comforting like his
fathers. “Nicole, please don’t cry, this is good news, they know
that we are missing and they will find us.”
    “But we traveled a long time and the car was
going so fast, what if we traveled too far for them to find
us?”
    “Do you think that distance will stop them?
They would go to the ends of the earth to get us back. We need to
help them, if we can. If uncle Damian could reach us, we can’t be
so far away. How far can he project anyway?”
    “I don’t know, but he said mom is with us, do
you think…” Nichole chokes as if her windpipe is cut off and she
strains to finish. “…that they got her too?”
    “No, he said she could see and feel us, I
don’t think that she is physically with us. I think that she is
with us the way they tried to explain to us before. Remember how
she can feel us and hear or see what we are seeing when we are in
trouble?”
    “Then what should we do?”
    Jacob looks deep in thought. “If we can’t get
out of these chains, we should concentrate, and I mean really
concentrate, on what is going on around us. This way, when mom is
with us, maybe she will hear or see something that would help them
find us.”
    Nicole’s eyes shift from Jacob’s and new
panic grips her as she sees her cousins slumped and chained to the
floor. “Kayla, Nicholas are you alright? Wake up. Kayla please wake
up!” They blur as tears overwhelm her lids again.
    “Nicole, it’s alright. Please don’t cry, they
are breathing, I can see their chest moving up and down, they must
still be unconscious. It’s alright. Please, if you are crying and
they come back, they will know that we are awake and that might not
be our best move right now. We should pretend to be unconscious for
as long as possible. Maybe uncle Damien will even come back and
tell us what we should do.”
    Knowing that Damian doesn’t know what is
happening, I break the connection to talk to him and let Andrew
know that the kids did see Damian and are looking for instructions.
My opening eyes meet their
