For several months,they were still taking care of Joy.

But,the work got quite easier.

By now,she was able to walk,and talk some little ex-pressions.

Also,they noticed that she has red,but a bit of brown hair,and has big,green eyes.

Well,maybe the eyes were a little bit the color of ash.

The two babysitters were impressed by her fast learning skill.

Because within a year,she learned to talk(a bit),walk,and could understand some words.

It was very unusual,especially for a young kid.

Yes,how could anyone learn words within a year?

But they soon figured out the reason for that.

One day,they invited a researcher which Bertha's husband knew.

He got curious somehow and decided to check her.

A few moments later,he looked surprised.

"It's true. But I don't think that it's natural talent. There's something about this..."

He thought for a moment. "What's her mother's job?"

"She was a teacher,and a bit of writer. She got B.A in university." Bertha explained.

"Then it's simple. That person's soul is in her. It's the way of affecting the skill.It's complicated.

But if that one is going to be beloved by a lot,the sorrow of it could make this happen.

Like,a part of her is missing. Something like that could be true here...

It's possible. But,this is very unusual."

"Did you ever saw this before?" Bertha asked.

"Yes. I've been here for almost 30 years,but I saw this only 5 times.

That one is both blessed, and cursed."

After the researcher left,the babysitters went up to the bedroom for Joy.

She was sound asleep.

"I think,this one will be able to become the person like a baby adult." Bertha wispered.

"If that happens,I think she'll be a good companion to talk with." Beth said,with some joke in it.

But no one knew what will happen in the future.

Some things will be changed as time goes on.

One day,when they were not expecting,Bertha's husband suddenly blinked out.

"Oh no,why now...?" Beth heard Bertha muttering to herself.

A small note was attached on the place where he had gone.

The note read,'Walter C.Blythe'.

(Now,I'll reveal a secret in Anne series in here. Anne's father is named,'Walter Shirley'.)

"What does this mean?" Beth asked.

"The time has come.

We'll return to earth when a person that has connection to us in any ways.

Then,the life in earth starts again.

This is the way of this world. I found it years ago." Bertha explained.

"I'm not a prophecy,but I think my time here is getting shorter. Less than 10 years are left for me."

"How could I go on with you not here..." Beth said with sorrow.

"Don't worry. Through that time,I think you can stand that fact."

"Yeah,don't worry about it. I'll be with you." A voice said behind.

They looked back,shocked. Joy was standing in that direction!

"Did you...just talked...?" Beth asked slowly.

Is that possible? Was that baby,talking to them?
