#### Background

Abra was born in 2001 while her father was recording her birth. When she was a baby, she had a premonition about 9/11.

She got into music when she was a baby. In spring of 2002, she played piano from her mind. After her dad tells her to stop, she does. Just around a year after 09/11, she uses the shine to predict her dad’s return from work. In spring of 2003, she uses her shine to predict money in her mom’s dresser. By July 6, 2003, Abra could speak in full sentences. Her great-grandmother would visit. When her dad left to go to the store and Lucy and Concetta were in the kitchen, Abra screamed because she had a vision that her neighbor fell. After telling Concetta this, they go to the neighbors house when they see that it’s true. More unexplained moments would happen. She would put The Simpsons on all channels once.

On the day of her birthday party, she would say hello to a guy named Danny Torrance (by a marking on his wall). She would have her party at her house. Her mom and dad hired a magician. The magician would have a great show but Abra, during the show, would levitate the spoons in the house with her mind. John, Lucy, and Concetta go inside to investigate when they are shocked to see spoons on the ceiling. David then walks in and sees it too. Abra walks in and drops the spoons.

In January of 2007, she has a vision of Dan and a cat helping a guy die in peace. She then falls asleep. She would also have bad dreams from ages five to seven.

In July of 2011, while David was away. Abra would wake up screaming in the middle of the night and Lucy would run into her bedroom. Lucy would ask Abra what happened, but she doesn’t answer. After being unresponsive for a little while, Abra would say that she saw people hurting a boy and talk about an imaginary friend, Tony. Abra remembers seeing ghosts on a train when she was four, a dream where she saw a doll on a highway, and hearing fighting. Lucy leaves the room, hoping this never happens again. Abra gave Dan a message but he didn’t get it in time. The next day, at a book fair, Dan sends Abra a message. Abra tells her mom. Couple days later, Abra sends a message to Dan. This will be the last message in two years.

They would spent the last two weeks of August and first week of September there. Abra would start middle school on September Eighth so she would stay with her dad on weekdays and stay with her mom and grandma on weekends. On September 17th, Abra notices lots of mail, including a paper that has information of missing kids, including Bradley Trevor. Abra walks inside, David hears and greets her while writing his book. She walks to the bathroom and cries about the dead kids and then starts her homework while keeping on thinking of Bradley Trevor. After her dad leaves, she goes to the trash to pick up the picture of Bradley Trevor to see his visions. After getting the information she needs, she figures out how to solve the case. She then for no reason feels herself in another person’s vision, she then breaks free and shouts, causing a big rumble. Her dad notices it and runs to her room and makes sure she is okay. He then goes to meet up with his friend that is outside. Her dad and his friend decide to throw a party. Mostly everyone who they invited came, David gets Abra so she can play with her friends. Abra wants to finish her homework but thanks the Renfrews before she leaves. She ends up finishing her homework and calls her mom. David, now back, is given the phone while Abra goes back to her room to put her stuff away. Abra then sees a vision in the form of a lady in her window and notices it is the same woman who helped to kill Bradley and asks for the Tony’s help (the imaginary friend, Danny’s old imaginary friend).

On Friday, Abra realizes that Dan knows that herself is now in trouble and gives him a way to contact her (using the shine). On the following Saturday, Abra finds out where Dan is so she rides her bike to him. When she gets to his location, she waves gives him a smile to know that it’s her. Dan walks up to her and they sit down. Dan reveals that he is her dads cousin. They share psychic images until they get serious. When they are talking, Abra’s old ELA teacher comes up and they talk.

Abra then sees a kid from her class so Dan and herself use their shine to get the kid away, successfully and get back to talking. After they talk some more of the hat lady, they wrap up the conversation and Dan promises to protect Abra. Later, she gives him a shine.

On Sunday morning, Abra gets an email from Dan stating that he and John will get Baseball Boys glove if she wants them to. She does. She is left happy and deletes the email.

## Trivia
