Later they found that I had greatly intense concentration," the female said. I nodded, then turned toward the stairs as the brother and sister walked down. "Ah! It's good to see both of you amongst the living again." Dan was staring at the seven of us. He had obviously heard part of what we had said. "We need to go," Dan said. "They'll find us if we don't keep going." He had grabbed Shelly his sister's arm, heading to the door. "You're safe here, nothing can get through the shield," I told him. I saw doubt in Dan's mind as he opened the door, stepped through, then stopped like he'd hit a wall. I saw his eyes open wide, he pointed at the invisible wall. I then felt powerful energy blasts that actually did nothing to it. "Damn," he said. "I guess you are powerful, the strongest I have felt." I turned back to the female, "now, what is your name?" "Oh, it's Alice," she said. I turned toward both my daughters whose mouths were hanging open. I then noticed that mine was open also. I shook my head, it figures just as I start to get things where we need them, the universe throws a wrench in the works. A small smile crept onto my lips, at least this time I thought, I had a lot more control over what happened. I looked around me at the rag tag crew I had. God, I needed more people.
