Days turn to week
Weeks turn to month
Months turn to years
Years later hailey have birth to twins, A boy and a girl... The boy name Liam and the girl Ava..
5 years later the kids are all grown up
The mansion had never felt this loud before.
Not with voices—
But with thoughts.
Hailey stood still, her eyes scanning the room as waves of whispers brushed against her mind. She had mastered this gift years ago. She knew how to silence it.
But tonight…
She wasn't the only one hearing them.
"Ava, breathe," Hailey said softly.
Across the room, Ava clutched her head, her eyes wide with panic.
"I—I can't shut it off!" she cried.
Why is it so loud? Why can I hear everything? Even when no one is talking—
Hailey winced slightly.
"It's because you're fighting it," she said gently. "You have to let it settle."
On the couch, Liam leaned back casually, watching his sister struggle.
"You're making it worse, you know," he said.
Ava snapped at him. "Oh, really? Then why don't you help me, genius?!"
Liam smirked.
"I would… but mine doesn't work like yours."
That caught everyone's attention.
Hailey turned.
"What do you mean?"
Liam stood up slowly, slipping his hands into his pockets.
"I don't hear thoughts," he said.
Ava frowned. "Then what do you do?"
Liam looked straight at her.
And smiled.
"I push them."
Silence.
Before anyone could react—
Ava suddenly froze.
Her expression changed completely.
Her anger disappeared… replaced by calm.
Too calm.
"Wait…" Ava blinked. "What just happened?"
Liam tilted his head.
"I told you," he said casually. "I don't read minds…"
"…I influence them."
Adrian stepped forward immediately, his voice sharp.
"Do that again."
Liam shrugged. "Alright."
He looked at Hailey this time.
And focused.
For a split second—
Hailey felt it.
A gentle pressure.
Like a thought that wasn't hers trying to settle in.
Stay calm… everything is fine…
Her eyes narrowed instantly.
"Stop."
Liam pulled back, raising his hands.
"Okay, okay."
The room went quiet again.
But this time—
The air felt heavier.
Ava stared at her brother.
"So you can… control what people think?"
Liam shook his head slightly.
"Not exactly control," he said.
"More like… suggest."
Adrian exhaled slowly.
"This is far more serious than I thought."
Hailey nodded.
"Yes… it is."
She turned to both of them.
"This isn't random. It's not a coincidence."
She looked at Ava.
"You inherited my ability."
Then at Liam.
"But yours… evolved."
Liam grinned.
"Guess I got the upgrade."
Ava rolled her eyes.
"Or the dangerous version."
Hailey stepped forward, her voice softer now.
"When I first got this gift, I thought it was a mistake… something I had to hide."
She looked at them both.
"But now I understand something."
"This is a legacy."
Adrian crossed his arms.
"Then we need to know where it came from."
Hailey hesitated.
Then nodded.
"I think I know where to start."
Three days later…
The car came to a stop in front of an old, forgotten house.
Dusty.
Silent.
Hidden far from the city.
Ava stepped out slowly, hugging herself.
"I don't like this place…"
It feels like someone is watching us…
Liam stepped beside her.
"Relax," he said.
But even he wasn't smiling now.
Hailey walked toward the house.
Her heart beating faster with every step.
"I've been here before," she whispered.
Adrian frowned.
"When?"
Hailey shook her head.
"I don't remember… but something is pulling me here."
She reached for the door.
Paused.
Then pushed it open.
The moment they stepped inside—
Everything changed.
Ava gasped.
"Mom…"
The voices—
Came rushing in.
Not one.
Not two.
But dozens.
Whispers layered over whispers.
Old.
Ancient.
"Blood of the Seer…"
"She has returned…"
"The children carry the gift…"
Ava grabbed her head.
"It's too much!"
Liam stiffened beside her.
For the first time—
He looked shaken.
"…I can feel them too."
Adrian's voice cut through sharply.
"What is this place?"
Hailey stepped forward slowly.
Her eyes locked on something in the center of the room.
A mirror.
Tall.
Covered in dust.
She wiped it gently.
And froze.
Because the reflection—
Wasn't hers.
It was a woman.
Standing behind her.
Ava whispered, trembling—
"Mom… who is that?"
The woman in the mirror smiled.
Soft.
Knowing.
Ancient.
"I have been waiting…"
Hailey's voice barely came out.
"…Who are you?"
The woman's eyes glowed faintly.
"I am the beginning…"
"And you…" she looked at Ava and Liam—
"…are the legacy."
