Marie-Ange,
I thought I should at the least leave you an email so that you know my address. You forgot the CD that you and I made for your classmate at your house. If you like, I will put the mp3 online for you though. It is not difficult to do.
I hope you have a good trip, both home and then the one you are going on after.

Subject: My cousin
I really hope I have the correct address here.
It seems my cousin is going on a trip with you. She mentioned it once or twice, and made the mistake of letting me help her burn a CD from her laptop. I hope this means you are someone who cares for her - if the number of emails she had sent you is any indication. I am worried about her.
I am not entirely sure what has happened to her in the last year, and I hope that it is just spending so much time in America. Nothing you tell me will go beyond myself. Not to her parents, nor my own or our grandparents. I am just worried for her. She goes away to a school in America for no reason - no reason that -our family- will tell me, and she come back nearly a year later, spends most of the time hiding in her room, and is carrying around Tarot cards? I am supposed to be the strange spooky member of this family, not my cousin. She would not tell me anything.

Jean-Phillipe-
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I've been having a sort of internal debate with myself. Not to mention that after picking up your cousin from the airport Monday evening, a small group of us left to go on a trip early Tuesday morning.
I care for Angie very much, yes. We have a very close bond of friendship, and it is not a far stretch to say that she saved my life a month or so ago. Also, we are going to go on a date in the next few days, I think. We were talking about various things on IM while she was in Europe, and before I knew it, I was agreeing to let her pay for dinner on a date. Your cousin can be...quite forceful sometimes, can't she? :) That fierceness is one of the very attractive things about her, though.
I worry about Angie a lot sometimes myself, especially after some of the recent occurances in the mansion. I've been debating with myself how much I should tell you, and how much is hers to tell you herself. The tarot cards...that has to do with a secondary aspect of her mutation that she developed recently. Angie is apparently precognitive. The cards allow her a way to channel the precognition so that she doesn't have nightmares because of it. She wasn't sleeping very well for quite a while.
Some of the rest...you'll have to ask her yourself. There are some things that she blames herself for (although I don't), and some things that I think she regrets. But they are very personal, and I wouldn't feel right sharing them with you, even though you are her family.
It is good to know that there are other people just as concerned for Angie's well-being as me. :)
Regards,
Doug Ramsey
