Sixteen-year-old Skylar Reid is thrown into a strange world when she discovers that she
has unique telekinetic and telepathic powers. After Sasha, the child she babysits, is kidnapped and believed to be murdered, Sky and her best friend Calvin are approached by Dana, a mysterious girl who has super-abilities similar to Sky’s. With the help of Dana and her sidekick Milo, the four teens embark on a quest to discover who killed Sasha, and to bring the killers to justice.
With Dana as Skylar’s surly and life-toughened mentor, Sky attempts to harness her powers to aid them in their quest. Complicating an already complex relationship with the older girl, Skystarts to fall for the dangerously handsome and enigmatic Milo – and begins to suspect that the attraction is mutual. But then Sky realizes that Sasha might still be alive, and the unlikely foursome’s mission becomes one of search and rescue, pitting the heroic teens against a very deadly enemy.
Everyone in the store hit the deck at the sight of the gun—everyone except Calvin and me.
She pointed the barrel at my face.
A
wave of deja vu washed over me. It was mixed with a hefty dose of panic
and combined with at least a small degree of consolation that Calvin,
as always, had my back.
"Oh, hell no!"
he barked. All the fear had vanished from his tone, and now he just
sounded pissed. "You wanna mess with someone? You wanna put your gun in
her face? You're gonna have to shoot me first!"
And then, things got really weird.
"Hey!"
someone called form behind Little Miss Sunshine. It was a girl, older
than me but probably only by a year or two. She'd appeared as if out of
nowhere, but she must've come in through the front doors while my
attention was on that gun. Dressed in full motorcycle garb—a red leather
jacket and black steel-toed boots—she hollered again. "Hey, you!"
Little Miss Sunshine whirled around.
Motorcycle
Girl charged froward and flicked the pistol out of crazy lady's hands
as easily as if she was removing a piece of lint from a buddy's jacket.
The
gun spun a couple times before landing on the floor. Motorcycle Girl
kicked it back into the air with her foot and caught it with one hand.
She tucked it deftly into the back waistband of her pants and then
slammed the crazy woman down onto the ground using the palm of one hand.
I could have sworn Little Miss Sunshine took a nosedive before
Motorcycle Chick even touched her, but then again, I'd been seeing all
kinds of crazy things this week.
"Whoa," Calvin said, while the crowd gasped again.
Little
Miss Sunshine landed, hard, and made a gurgling sound. She looked up
once at me and pointed, still smiling that awful smile, before her face
dropped to the ground.
The room once again was silent.
Motorcycle
Chick turned, running a hand gruffly through her platinum-blond pixie
cut as she looked at me and frowned, her eyes the color of icicles.
Around us, the crowd began to move almost as one, with everyone rushing for the door.
I
was about to turn too—getting out of there seemed like a brilliant
idea—when Motorcycle Girl spoke again. Her words stopped me. "Way to
protect everyone here, Sky. What were you waiting for? A sign from God?"
I looked at Cal—Cal looked at me. And I knew we were both thinking the same thing.
How the hell does this girl know my name?
