New Allies

Dr. Martinez POV

My computer screen exploded with alerts as I sped through the hospital database. Every supernatural child I'd handled in the past five years was lighting up my system like Christmas trees. Something was happening to all of them at once, and it wasn't good.

"This can't be right," I muttered, checking the readings again. Eight different children, all showing the same strange power spikes. All at exactly the same time Emma's light had turned silver.

My phone rang, making me jump. The caller ID showed a number I hadn't seen in years.

"Elena?" I answered, shocked to hear from my old friend who worked at a pack hospital three states away.

"Carlos, thank God you picked up!" Dr. Elena Vasquez sounded scared. "Something's happening to the special children here. All of them. Their powers are going crazy!"

"How many?" I asked, my heart sinking.
