~Our Bounds ~

"Get up Maleah!" Destiny my older cousin yelled. I gave out a loud moan and covered my head up with a pillow as a reply. Annoyed she kicked me in the back with all her strength. "You can’t sleep in all day cuz." I sat up to face her while rubbing the sore part of my back. I gave her the pouty face and slowly got up. She smiled and said "Oh come on cuz don't be all pouty." she said pulling on my cheeks.

Even though we are cousins Destiny and I don't really look alike at all. She has white kind of pale skin while I have cocoa brown skin, her hair is short, straight, and dark brown while mine is short and curly with a blond streak, Destiny wears purple rimmed glasses, and despite her being her being 17 and me being 15 we are about the same size and height, we both had super dark brown eyes. We live alone in an old apartment complex in New York. Due to our job we had to get psychic eyes. No normal human can control both eyes so Destiny and I decided to split the burden. My eye is on the left and with it I can see through object including people, I'm only aloud to use this power once or twice a day. Destiny's eye is on the right and with it she can see events when holding an object that was with the person during the accident, but she can't tell who it is or even if it's a boy or girl but she can only use it once per week. Choosing not to follow will lead to the death of the person breaking it. Commander pays rent for us but we have to report to the job or he stops paying. Now we just sit back and wait for commander to give us orders. You might be wondering what job would take us to such measures. Well we work for the 'PC' or 'Psychic case' every one working for them has a psychic power of some sort.

I smiled and pulled Destiny's hand off my cheeks and tried to tickle her. She easily pushed me two the floor and laughed I couldn't help but laugh too. I looked over at Destiny's psychic eye; it was a deep purple with a black cross in the middle. Mine looks the same. When we stopped laughing we heard the mailman arrive. "It's your turn to get the mail D!" I said with a lazy smile on my face .She looked at me and gave me a large sigh.

"Fine," she sat up and walked out the door. I looked around and found my shirt in a nice neat fold. I took off my old shirt and put on my clean one; it was basically an old blue hoodie with out sleeves. I also slipped in to the basketball shorts I found on the floor. Destiny walked in and smiled. "Well you got dressed just in time." she held up one of commander's letters. "There is going to be a murder at 'Kings island' at noon. On the monster," Commander's letters tell us were the murder is going to occur and when it's going to happen. I nodded in reply.

"Are we going to need eye patches?" I complained. She nodded.

"If we don't wear them then people will ask questions." I grabbed out a patch with strings on it out of my pocket and put it on. Destiny already had hers on. I grabbed a piece of ribbon from Christmas and tied back my hair.

"Shall we go my dear Watson?" I laughed. Destiny smirked and replied.

"You would be Watson and I would be Sherlock." I shook my head.

"No way!"

"I have read the Sherlock books" Destiny replied.

"Toshay," We both laughed and ran out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we got there we waited in line for the monster. As we waited we noticed a group in front of us. One was a girl with African skin and long braids. She was a tad taller than us while the other was another girl but she was had white skin and long brown hair she was also taller than us, the last person was a man with what looked have orange tan sprayed skin he wore a backwards hat and was shirtless. As we stood in line I could hear them arguing about something. I looked over at Destiny to see if she had noticed too. She looked back at me and nodded. I tried to ignore them but some one behind us pushed into Destiny and like a domino I was pushed into the dark skinned girl in front of me. She quickly turned around. "You better watch were your going little girl!" her voice annoyed me so I just stood there in total silence. She gave me another look. This time the guy stood up.

"You better apologies to my girl or I'll pop your little head girly." the girl that was yelling at me before looked over to him like he just heroically saved her from a band of thugs, while the other girl looked like she was sick and tired of this. I wanted to find out more about this guy so I just stood there in silence. He grabbed my shirt caller and lifted it up. "Apologies!" he yelled again, but I still didn't move. Destiny grabbed the boy by his sleeve. He turned to look at her then let me go. His girlfriend looked at him like she was disappointed. Destiny leaned over to my ear and whispered.

"Why didn't you apologies?" I looked back at her and replied.

"This guy is a con." Destiny looked at that guy some more than started to catch my drift.

"Oh. So you are thinking that the girl with the long brown hair is his ex or something. And he broke up with her for a hotter girl."

"Bingo! That guy wasn't going to hit me or hurt me. He was just trying to impress a pretty face." Destiny looked at that guy again and this time with a disgusted look on her face.

"Gee! Any one who will do stuff like that to impress a girl is despicable." I nodded agreeing to her. She looked at me again and messed up my hair with her hand. "Nice observation cuz." I smiled then took her hand off my head.

About twenty minutes later we finally got to the ride. The girl with the brown hair walked up to us, "Hey sorry if my friend were jerks back there." Her voice was calm with a southern ascent. She was a really pretty girl with blue eyes, and a pink flower clip to get her hair out of her eyes and a strange thin rope necklace. I noticed Destiny looking at her different like she was taking note of something. I tried to notice what she was noticing but I couldn't see it. We sat down behind the boy and his girlfriend, while the other girl sat in front of them.

When the ride started all we could hear were our screams and the screams of people around us. The ride soon led to a long dark tunnel. I felt something wet splash on my face, but because it was too dark and "I couldn't see where it was coming from. The ride ended right after that. I looked in front of me to see the boy's face stunned and frozen in fear. I looked at what he was looking at and saw that the girl that was next to him had no head.

The people in the ride started to scream at the sight of such a sight. Destiny and I both stood up and got off the ride. We showed fake deceive badges. "Lady's and gentlemen please don't fright we shall solve this case." I stuck out two fingers in the shape of a 'v' and smiled. Destiny looked at me like I was stupid. She punch me in the side then said.

"We are detectives from the 'SPR' so do-" a lady shouting and pointing at the boy cut off Her sentience.

"It was him! He killed that woman while we were under the tunnel." she reached in and found a knife that was covered in red and rust. I walked over and took the knife in my hand. Destiny looked at it closely and seemed to take notice to the rust. I looked down at the boy who was now pale and asked.

"What is your name?" he slowly looked back up at me.

"Mark," he answered with a quiver in his voice. Destiny looked at Mark then at the knife again. She gave the ‘I figure it out ‘ smirk then said in a clever voice.

"Well Mark it couldn't of been you." Every one's eyes focused on her. She held up the knife and slammed it against the roller cart with the blade. It shattered into pieces. " There is no way to take someone’s' head with knife like this!" she pointed to the cart she tried to cut with the blade of the knife. There wasn't a single scratch or dent on it. The crowd looked in awe as Destiny dropped the handle. The girl with the brown hair turned and looked at us.

"Then who was it?" I looked at her, her voiced raised and she started to grow restless and something seemed missing from her outfit. Destiny gave me a smile meaning' she got this.' She pointed over to her and asked in a clever voice.

"So what’s your name?"

"Clair!" her voice had a rude tone to it. I kept staring at her to find what Destiny found to be a clue. I soon looked at her neck and found that her necklace was gone. A red mark marked wear it was. I took a step closer and asked.

"Well Clair I noticed that your 'interesting' necklace is gone," she grabbed her neck pretending that she just noticed it was gone.

"Are you saying that it was me!” she started to become on edge. I looked at her neck some more than at the victims'. The mark on her neck matched the ones on the other girls neck.

"All we are saying is that the culprit couldn't of just cut it off with a knife that would take too long. Even with the strength of a man."

"Well it is impossible for me to have done it!" she protested. I looked at her closely and noticed a strange wrinkle in her shirt. I looked at Destiny and put my finger on the rim of my eye patch asking for her permission. She nodded then turned to the Clair.

"We are going to need you to stand still and stair deep into my cousin eye. This will be the only way to tell if you are telling the truth or not." She scolded then stared down at me. I slowly removed my eye patch reviling my psychic eye. Her eyes widened at the sight of my eye. This isn’t something new. It happens every time we revile our eye. I covered my normal eye and stared deep at her. I started to see through her close and I directed my eyes toward her stomach and saw what I wanted to see. She tried to hide her purse under her shirt. My eye started to burn and my eye watered into tears. I quickly covered my eye back up with my eye patch and smiled. Destiny looked down at me and I nodded.

"Of course it would be impossible to get out if the belt with out opening it unless you just slip through it." I said wiping the water from my eye. She looked at us like we just went crazy.

"We I can't just do that!"

"You are right you can do that." I paused making a suspenseful seen." Not with our something to help you slip out!" every one paused and looked at her looking for something that could allow her to slip out of the cart. "Like a purse or a bag."

"I see it she has something hidden under her shirt!" a man in the back yelled. She pulled her purse out of her shirt and showed to every one.

"Ok I hid it under my shirt so people wouldn't steal it!" I shook my head.

"You wouldn't worry about that because you had two other people with you." She looked down and shook her head.

"That doesn't prove any thing." Destiny looked at me and pointed to her eye patch. I shook my head.

"Wouldn't that take too much of your energy?" she smiled and put her hand on my head. Then shift if from side to side.

"You worry too much." she took a look at the victim and searched the body. She looked at Mark who was still sitting there dumbstruck about what happened. "Did this girl have any thing with her. Like a necklace or a wallet?" He turned and looked up at Destiny. He slowly reached toward her pocket and puled out some keys.

"Will this do?" Destiny smiled and nodded.

"This will do greatly." she took the keys and clutched it in her hand. She slowly took off her eye patch and covered her normal eye. I saw her pupil grow smaller as she focused on the keys in her hand. Her eyes burst into tears and she covered her eyes back up. "The culprit slid from under the cart seat then took rope and hung it around the victims neck. and then threw the rope over to the tracks causing the victim's head to be ripped off. Then she slid a knife to blame it on the person next to the victim.'' She started to pant then she sat down were she stood. I hate it when Destiny uses her Psychic eye. It takes up a lot of her energy and she can only use it once a week. But if she insist that she can handle it I just have to trust her. I looked at Clair and smiled.

''We just found our culprit.'' She shook her head.

''No it wasn't me! Wasn't me!" I shook my head.

"If we look on the tracks we will find your necklace. So please just turn your self in." She shook her head.

"It is not completely my fault. I mean she deserved to die and Mark should have went to jail." Tears streamed from her face. She couldn't pretend any more. "He said he loved me and he would always. Then the girl came along and completely changed him to this show-offy jock." I walked over and put my hand on her shoulder.

"He just isn't worth it. If he would do that to you then he never loved you." She looked up at me then nodded.

The police showed up shortly after and arrested Clair. We stood back avoiding reporters. I looked behind me and saw some one sitting on the tracks of the roller coaster staring at us. It looked like a man but I wasn't sure. I tugged on Destiny's shirt and she turned to look at me. I pointed behind me "I think some one is watching us." she turned to look were I pointed.

"There is no one their Maleah. Maybe you are just imagining things." I turned around to find that the stalker stalking us left. 'Who was that' I thought. ' And I have a feeling that we will meet again."
