<strong>Nina~</strong>(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss291/Lucille79_photos/E%20Characters/Nina-1-1.jpg)<br/><br/>The trees were so thick she could only see into the surrounding forest for a few feet. Her skin broke out in goose bumps the longer she peered into the dark woods surrounding the house and Nina wrapped her arms around herself to ward off the strange feeling of fear she felt creeping up her spine. Two days they had been here and she could not shake off the feeling of being watched, stalked even.<br/><br/><em>"Nina get a hold of yourself girl!"</em>she berated herself outloud hoping to fill the deafening silence of the attic. With a toss of her long hair she resumed her assigned task of cleaning the attic. Danielle did so love to assign tasks she thought with a giggle. Nina made a fuss and always complained about her oldest sister being so bossy but the truth was she cherished her older sisters leadership skills, she kept them safe and happy and Nina knew it.<br/><br/>A loud clanging sounded from downstairs and Nina reached out with her senses to make sure that nobody was injured. She could sense Danielle's impatience, Sophie's smothered laughter, and Josie's surprise. Nina smiled and resumed her cleaning satisfied that her sisters were safe, from falling objects anyway. Again she found herself peering out the window into the woods, were they safe she wondered?<br/><br/>Nina was used to picking up random feelings and thoughts left over from persons or animals, everything left behind psychic footprints. Closing her eyes she let her mind wander through the ancient home they had inherited, picking up old laughter, long ago sadness, feelings of anger, guilt, or simply happiness. The old home had seen decades of people pass through and sorting through all the psychic energy was exhausting. Slowly Nina slipped to the dusty floor and continued her inspection of the house, finding nothing to be worried about. Her strange eyes opened slowly and once again moved to look at the woods, the house was safe, the danger was out there she was sure.<br/><br/>Barely able to move now she crawled to the window and opened it wincing as the old house creaked, she did not want Danielle to discover her doing this alone, she was very strict about them never using their gifts while alone since they drained them physically. Leaning out the window as far as she could manage she stared unmoving into the dark trees her eyes swirling faster the farther she reached into the darkness searching for anything that could explain her fear. One green eye and one blue eye began to twitch with her exhaustion but she continued to search, something was out there, she could feel it.
