She looked down at it in concentration. As her mother-in-law, Nena, had instructed, she focused her thoughts around the object instead of staring directly at it. Within a few moments, a rainbow of color shimmered from the surface and then one color dominated all the rest: vibrant green.
Amanda nodded confirmation of her original idea and closed her bag back up over the crystal. She returned the purse to the back seat and started to reach for the key still dangling from the ignition.
“Wait a minute, Amanda. Before we go anywhere, I want you to answer some questions,” Diane spoke suddenly.
Amanda was surprised by her mother’s outburst. In actuality, she had been so focused on the samara she had forgotten how much of this story her mother still either did not know or did not comprehend. She had to spare some time right now to help her mother understand so she would remain an ally. “Sure, Mom. What do you want to know?”
“What did you do just now?” She had not planned on asking that question first, yet it was the first thing which came out of her mouth, so she had to go with it.
“I was checking to see what color of aura this stone has.”
“You can see auras now? Since when?” Diane began and then interrupted her own question to ask, “Wait! Do you have another stone?”
“Yes. Riccan had one handed down through his family line from the seventeen hundreds. Then, together, we found another one on our trip to New Orleans. With the addition of this one from the asylum, we have found three of the thirteen.”
