A month after the girls moved out of the home Janet was contacted by a school. They wanted her to come in for an interview. She decided to see what it was all about so she went.
When she got to the school she was greeted by a man named Dennis. He was a young man with red hair and green eyes and Janet thought he was cute. Dennis took her to an office and told her to wait there. Dennis left and she was alone. After five minutes she started to get worried, then the door opened. A women walked in, she shook Janet's hand and told her to sit down. Then she went around the desk and sat down as well.
"Now Janet I'm sorry to keep you waiting but one of my students had a small problem. As I said my name is Patricia and I run this school. I was also a friend of your mother and your aunts. I have tried to keep track of you since the accident happened but when the state took over we lost you. I also know about Natasha and I am truly sorry. I called you here to find out if you wanted to train your gifts properly. What do you say?"
"How do I know I can tryst you?"
"I completely understand your feelings, all I can say is think about it please. And please read this letter from your mother. And I also extend the invitation to Amanda as well. I won't force either of you into anything. I know you have been forced into to much already. If you want to you can go now, take your time. Bring Amanda with you the next time you visit and I will show you both around. What do you think?"
"Ok at but I won't promise anything. People haven't been to honest with us so it kind of hard to believe anything anyone says these days."
"I completely understand my dear."
"Thank you, I have to go now. Good bye."
"Good bye my dear."
When Janet returns home she tells Amanda about the interview and they read the letter.
"So what do you think?"
"I don't know, but I am interested in seeing this school. Besides they can't force us to stay we are adults."
"Your right, when should we go back?"
"Lets do it tomorrow."
"That's fine with me."
"I'm starving, what's for dinner?"
"We are having roast and it should actually be done now."
With that the girls went in and had dinner. Then they decided to go to the school at ten the next morning.
Ten a.m. Janet and Amanda return to the school. Patricia meets them at the door.
"I'm glad you decided to come back. I'm also glad you decided to join her Amanda. I am very sorry to hear about your sister. Now would you like to come inside?"
"Yes we would like to see the school."
"Amanda will you talk to me?"
"Actually Amanda has decided to never speak again."
"Alright can you sign or are you a telepath?"
"Yes on both accounts."
"Very good Amanda, your voice is nice and strong. Now this building is where the students live. Some students also live in town. That is totally up to the student. These next two buildings are for training purposes. And that one over there is for basic school work. Did you two graduate?"
"Yes we did."
"Good we have some younger students who need to finish school."
"How big is this place?"
"Well Amanda I own one hundred twenty-five acres. As you can see there is plenty of forest type areas to walk in. Behind the complex we have a large swimming pool. We have a smaller pool in the rec room of the main house There is also a river where you can fish if you want to."
"What about protection?"
"Good question."
"Calm down girls. The whole place is fenced in. There are cameras everywhere. No one gets in or out without me or the guards knowing about it. Would you like to see the training area?"
"Sure let's see the training area."
For the next hour Patricia shows them around the school and the grounds. She shows them the main house, and both of the training area's. There is one for beginners and one for advanced students. She shows the girls the pool. The girls really like the pool. After they finished the tour they went to Patricia's office. They all sat down and enjoyed a nice cold Dr. Pepper.
"So what do you think girls?"
"Can we think about it and get back to you?"
"Of course you can. Like I said yesterday it's all up to you."
"Okay that works for us. We need to go."
"Alright, thank you both for stopping by."
With that the girls went home. When they got there they had a very long talk. By the time they went to bed they still could not make up their minds. The problem was they both liked the place but they just couldn't trust Patricia.
When the girls woke up at nine a.m. they knew what to do. They both had a dream and they knew they would be safe. So they called Patricia that afternoon and made the arrangements. The following day they would start their training at the rosewood school for the gifted youths.
