The Ultimate Sacrifice, The Gifted Teens Series, Book 1

I watched Mira sleep, wishing I could sleep like she did. The nightmares usually woke me up. At first, it was only once in a while, but now it was every night. Mira’s long, ash-blonde hair was spread all over her pillow. Her thin lips twitched now and then. She was my protector, although she spent most of her time protecting others from me. Sometimes, I felt like I was broken. I had this rare gift, but I used it for the wrong reasons instead of using it to do good. There have only been ten of us documented in history. Ten mind-blowers. Some were locked up because nobody could control them.

Others were killed for the same reason. A few were able to maintain their gifts. And then there was me. I had Mira. All of the students here at Glendale Institute had gifts. Some gifts—like mine—were only supposed to be used in emergencies. However, with my short temper, I don’t think the gods planned that out nicely. How, then, did Mira get to me so fast? Noe. She was a predictor and could see things that hadn’t happened yet. Mira said Noe had called and tipped her off. Although we had driven to the town centre together, we went our separate ways when we got there.
