amounted to dirty, rotten cheating! Of course I would confess to Jack. I couldn’t keep something like this from him. I desperately hoped he could find a way to forgive me.
    The next morning Rémy and I confronted Kate with our discovery of the night before: we were not meant to be a couple. We were both dismayed when she dismissed this revelation as nothing.
    “But Grand-mère,” Rémy sputtered. “We tried, as you wished. There was nothing, no feeling at all when we kissed. It was as if I were kissing Geneviève.”
    “Kate, please,” I began. “I am not in love with your grandson, but I am in love with my boyfriend back home. You said you understood, that you of all people should not tell me who to fall in love with, remember?”
    She stood up and began to pace in front of the couch where Rémy and I were seated. “I do remember, Ally. I’m not trying to pressure either of you, but I am also old enough to know love can grow. I don’t want you to so easily dismiss what the prophecy may mean. I have never seen two people have such a strong psychic connection and I have a hard time believing you are not destined to be together. I think we had better wait and see. Now, let’s continue your training.” She proceeded to push us especially hard during our session. She had found out about my physical powers, both the electric shock I had given Rémy during our first kiss and the violent blue energy pulse during the showdown with David Moore at the end of last school year, and attempted to provoke a similar reaction. Today I was angry enough that she might be successful! Thus far I hadn’t been able to recreate anything, but I hadn’t been angry like I was both previous times. Today, I was excessively pissed off and needed to vent. I wasn’t angry at Rémy, and I couldn’t begin to direct any anger at a little old lady, so after taking all I could handle of Kate’s nagging ‘just concentrate, Ally!’, I muffled a scream of frustration and directed all my pent up feelings at a small vase resting on a side table in the room where we trained. We were all shocked when it exploded, showering the three of us in sharp ceramic fragments. I felt horrible when I saw a small drop of blood on Kate’s cheek from a shard of the vase.
    “ Merde! Ally, what did you do?” Rémy exclaimed as he rushed to his grandmother’s side, examining the small cut.
    “Oh my God, I’m so sorry, Kate! I didn’t mean to hurt you!”
    “It’s nothing, Ally. Rémy, don’t fuss! I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.” She took the tissue from his hand and pushed him away impatiently, going to look at the remains of the vase. “This is extraordinary! I have never seen such power! Has this ever happened before?”
    I shook my head. “No, never like this. I’ve never destroyed anything before. The last time it was just a pulse of energy that knocked Jack and a crazy, sadistic murderer down. Sorry about the vase. I hope it wasn’t antique or anything.”
    “Of course not. It was nothing. Something I picked up in a market. It was my fault for doing this in the middle of my living room, anyway. We’ll find a more suitable place for training from now on. That’s enough for today. I need to talk with the rest of the Conseil. Rémy, why don’t you drive Ally into town for some lunch and shopping? I’m sure you both would appreciate some time away.”
    We didn’t speak at all as we got into his car and drove into Rouen. I leaned my head against the headrest and closed my eyes. Finally, I rolled my head toward Rémy and opened my eyes. “It was an antique, wasn’t it?”
    “18 th century Meissen. Worth several thousand euros.” I saw a half-smile as he stared straight ahead at the road.
    “Oh, my God. I’m a disaster. What is happening to me?” I wailed.
    He reached over and clasped my hand. “Don’t worry, chérie. We will figure it out. It will just take time.”
    “How much time?” I sighed. “Rémy, I want to go
