The Incredible Vizines. Chapter Two

   
                                 Chapter II
                               Equality Demanded!

    They grew up as normal children, except for one small detail. They had powers.  Pauline could go invisible and make a force field. Piper could shape-shift into pretty much anything. As for Petrova, no one knew for sure yet. Pauline and Piper had both gotten their powers at the age of 12, and on their birthdays. Petrova was 10. I think that with two girls that already have powers, Mr.and Mrs. Vizine can wait for another girl to get their supernatural abilities. Pauline was fourteen and Piper was 12 ( her birthday was two months ago. She had been getting used to her amazing gift).  Pauline had mastered her powers and knew when and where to use it. Piper, however, had not mastered it and when she was angry she would accidentally change into an animal without even realizing  it.   Because they all had powers, when they got into a fight, they really fought. So their parents thought it smart to get them all their own rooms. They had experimented briefly about sharing rooms and put Pauline and Piper in the same room for a few months. Pauline wanted it decorated with her poster and nick-knacks.  Piper, of course, wanted her things and there was not enough room. After they heard a bear growl, their parents knew this would not work.  Piper got another room at the other end of the hall. They were much more cheerful girls after that.  Petrova sometimes felt left out, because both of her sisters had powers, and she was a normal girl...  Or so she thought.


Little did she know, but when she heard someone talking, they might not be talking at all!  This may seem complicated to some, and others probably have figured out what part of her powers were.  She could read minds.  After she answered a few questions before they were asked, her family figured out that she had gotten her powers a year before the other girls, at age 11. Since she did not have her powers yet, she was sharing a room with Piper.  The day after they found out she had powers ( they found out for sure in the evening on Friday) her Mother and Father moved her into her own room. They were not taking any chances with sharing a room. It was too dangerous. Petrova felt more like her sisters after she found out that she had special things that no one else could do, just like them. Now that they all had powers, the house was more peaceful. This may sound weird. How could a house be more peaceful when all the girls had powers? But it was.  Because if one of the girls attacked another one, she could fight back!  I bet you’re wondering, how could Petrova fight if all she could do was read minds? well, she could do more than just read minds. She could do a very little bit of mind control. She could not make them do things she wanted them to do, like do her chores, or get her a drink, but she could make them stop doing things. Like if Piper had turned into a dog and was trying to bite her, Petrova could make her walk out of the room instead. What a crazy family!

The Incredible Vizines. Chapter One


                                                The Incredible Vizines.


                                    
                                                 Chapter I
                                                 Beginnings


    Once upon a time, for that is how all good stories begin, there was a budding family, called the Vizines. They were, as you call it supernatural, though Mr. & Mrs. Vizine’s three daughters did not know. The oldest, Pauline, who is 15 at the time that this story is written, was rescued of a sinking ship and put into an orphanage. She was only there for a few days when the newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Vizines adopted her. She never remembered her real parents, who were killed when she was 5 days old. Two years after the adoption of Pauline, Mrs. Vizine had a baby girl which they named Piper.
                
                 2 years after the birth of Piper, The Vizines went to show Pauline the orphanage where they found her. As they were showing Pauline around, the found another precious baby girl name Petrova.  They asked a nearby worker to tell them her background. The worker told them that she was from Russia and that her family was moving here and her father died: leaving his wife with their 3 month old baby. Her family was very poor, and Petrova’s mother did not have enough money to care for her, so she put her baby in the orphanage. “ Petrova is one now, and , though everyone has thought she was cute, no one has seemed to think she is a perfect as you do.” Mrs Vizine sighed, looking at the angelic face. “ She is perfect. I think she would fit in with us just fine! What do you think girls?” Pauline answered quickly. “ Oh, Mother! She’s adorable! I love her!” She surprised the worker with such a big word, for she was only 4. But  her parents knew that these were the kind of words their Pauline used. Mr. Vizine brought Petrova home while his wife was taking the children on a walk. When they got home, they seemed to be frozen on the spot, looking at the baby in their fathers arms. He whispered to his wife, “ I know what will break their trance.” “ Girls! Who wants to hold her first?”

A story

Barn Swallows

Hey, Guys!
        We have a bunch of barn swallows nesting in above our front door. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of the parents feeding the babies or the babies sticking their heads above the nest. They are sooooo cute!  Anyway, I was able to get a few pictures of the nest. There's also a picture of one of the adult birds flying by our house.
