The Deadly Rose by Amber Jonas (good books for high schoolers TXT) 📕

“No, we just thought you would want to know how powerful you really are. I mean I know you don’t like talking about it, but you ARE adopted, which means you have different blood from the rest of your family. You have power Belladonna. You just have to find it in yourself and begin using it.”

“Look, maybe we should go talk somewhere else. Belladonna your parents aren’t home at this time right?” Ethan asked, I shook my head “no, but Pandora, Shadow and Raven will be home soon, and I have to be there before they get there.” I said, they all gave me expectant looks, like I was the keeper of some magical key to the world where we could talk privately. Sighing I gave in “fine, but you guys are not to mention any weird crap around the little ones.”

As soon as I pulled into the driveway I was greeted by three very upset kids, “Belladonna! Where were you, we missed our snack time and favorite shows!” Shadow and Raven groaned at me, I shrugged my shoulders and patted their heads. “I think you guys will be okay,” I said pulling a bag of candy from behind my back and handing it over to them, “You can have this, but don’t show mom and you better eat all of your dinner.” I said as I lead the way for everyone in the house.
