Derrick and I were astonished at Grace's knowledge about our sudden acquired powers. I was sure that Grace didn't see Derrick's doggy parts when she came into my room. How could she know about them?

"So they acquired them too?" Carter asked.

Too?!

"How... how did you know about them?" I asked.

All Grace did was take Derrick's left arm, scratch it and made it bleed.

"Ow, what was that for?" Derrick whined as his cat parts appeared in a sparkling manner.

He licked his wound and Carter just squealed in excitement. I had a feeling he had the same reaction as I did when I found out that Derrick's could turn part cat.

"He's just like Ikuto! From Shugo Chara! So you can turn into a catboy?" Carter excitedly concluded.

"I'm also part dog..." Derrick quietly added.

"What's your power Christina?" Grace asked.

"Well..." I started, releasing my hold on Carter, "Apparently, I can scream louder than a dog whistle. Although, I'm not sure if that's the only thing I can do..." I said that last part quietly from my uncertainty.

"The reason I know about your powers have to do with mine, I can sense extreme levels of emotions. Meaning, that I can tell when you're hiding something. I can also sense when another Diamond is around." Grace explained.

"Diamond? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Your birthmarks, they're in the shapes of Diamonds right?" Carter questioned.

"Yeah..." We answered.

"Well, Grace and I aren't sure about what they mean quite yet, but they hold a certain power that dwells with in us. It seems that at a certain age, our powers awaken and the mark appears. Different powers come from different people, kinda like personalities." Carter concluded, "My power is quite dark actually," Carter smiled an innocent smile.

"What do you mean... dark?" I questioned.

"You don't want to know, but it has to do with my multi-personalities issue~"

That's not something to happily admit...

"You really don't want to trigger his other side, it's too terrifying to recover from that fiasco..." Grace shuddered.

I knew there was something disturbing about Carter, he seemed too happy and innocent to be a perfect little rich boy...

I decided to finally sleep after I took a look at the clock and noticed that it was 3am. No wonder I felt that this day was so long.

After I found some shorts and a T-shirt, I dived under the covers and cuddled in. Today has been super long day and I think we all need some rest.

~ Christina's Dream ~

I was sleeping soundly in my room, listening to the soothing white snow fall to the awaiting ground. Everything was perfect, untouched, unscathed.

"Tina! Tina!" A four year old Joseph called, "It's Chrwismas! Time for prwesents!"

I look up at him and moaned.

"Five more min- wait, Christmas?"

"Yeah! Come on, wet's go!"

I threw off the covers and raced down stairs with Joseph, excitement plastered all over our tiny faces. When we reached the living room, our faces lit up even more. Many large presents surrounded the tree and was stuffed under the tree. The tree was decorated with Popcorn, colorful ornaments, crazy tinsel, and peppermint candy canes. The room was filled with a scent of freshly baked Christmas cookies. And for once, I saw my parents have a genuine smile on their faces.

"Christina~" My mother cooed.

"Yes mama?" I asked excitedly.

"It's time to wake up."

"What?" I asked aloud.

"I said it's tome to get up." Derrick repeated.

I was having such a nice dream too...

Hiya Luckies! Merry Christmas! I Know I said the exciting things are happening in this chapter, and they kinda did get exciting...

I started writing this book about a year or two ago so if you have noticed sudden changes in writing style, it's because I haven't gone back and re-edited it. σ(^_^;)

So again, Merry Christmas! I hope Finland comes to your house and brings you lots of presents! (It's a Hetalia thing)
