Revelations (The Revelations Series Book 1) by Pamela Daniell

this. As much as she loved her mom, she harbored a little bit of anger toward her for allowing herself to get pregnant and ensuring her child a life on the run. This was not how she wanted to live, but it was her life now and she had no choice but to accept it.
    After they left Lilies Town, they checked out three other stores in the same shopping plaza where she bought some more pants and shirts.
    “Do you want to grab some pizza or sandwiches?” Erin asked as they put their bags in the back of the Jeep.
    Jenna shrugged. “I guess sandwiches,” she replied. She was sick of pizza. Whenever her mom worked the late shift at the diner, Alex and she would order pizza just to avoid cooking and having to clean up the mess that came with it.
    Melissa’s Deli was in the same plaza so they only had to walk three stores down to get to it. She followed her mom into the nearly empty deli and they slid into a booth in the back. They both grabbed menus and waited for the waitress who was taking another order.
    “What can I get you?” the perky young waitress asked when she finally arrived.
    “I’ll just have a turkey sandwich, a Coke and some chips,” Erin said.
    “That sounds good. I’ll have the same,” Jenna said as she put the menu back.
    “I’ll be back in a few with your drinks.” The waitress pivoted on her heals and headed toward the kitchen to submit their order.
    “So, how’s the training going? Has Alex eased up on you any lately?” her mom asked.
    Jenna’s gaze lowered, as did her voice. “No, it’s like I can’t do anything right. And when I finally do, he tells me I can do it better.” Jenna’s face split into a wide grin. “I wish you could have seen his face yesterday when that tree root had him struggling to free himself.”
    Erin laughed. “I’m sure he wasn’t happy about it.”
    “Not really and he got even more annoyed when I told him I wouldn’t let him go until he admitted I had beat him. But, I couldn’t resist.”
    Jenna paused as the waitress came back with their drinks and sandwiches.
    “Wow, that was fast,” Erin pointed out.
    “It’s slow today, and it was an easy order,” the waitress replied as she set their drinks in front of them, smiled and walked away.
    Jenna’s mom waited until the waitress was out of earshot, and then turned her attention back to Jenna. “I’m curious; I know you can control the elements, but what kind of abilities does Alex have?”
    Jenna took a sip of her soda, and then set the glass back down. “Well, to be honest, I’ve only seen him move things without touching them. I think it’s called telekinesis.”
    “I thought you said he threw an energy ball at you yesterday?”
    Jenna nodded. “He did, I forgot. Those are the only things I’ve seen him do.” Jenna took a bite of her sandwich wondering why her mom was asking about Alex’s abilities. She never seemed to care before.
    Erin cast her eyes downward. “You know, I forgot, I have to go the library before we head home. Do you mind?”
    “No, I could use a new book.”
    “Great, let’s finish up here and head to the library then home. I’m sure Alex is wondering where we are by now.”
    When they finished their sandwiches, her mom paid the waitress and they headed for the Jeep. “So, what kind of book do you need?” Jenna asked as they climbed in.
    “Just some old books about Angels and Demons. I want to make sure I’m doing all I can so they can’t detect us.”
    In such a small town, all the community buildings were built within walking distance of one another. So they had a short ride to the library, which was a big brick building that mirrored the school and was located right next to it.
    “You get what you need and I’ll go look for my books. When you’re finished you can meet me at the front desk.”
    Jenna watched as her mom headed toward the section labeled religion, before she went upstairs to the young adult section. A young, pretty librarian smiled at her as she
