After Jinx tries to dismiss it as fatigue and misunderstanding, Tory cites specific evidence from an earlier accident, claiming Jinx predicted and prevented disaster. The discussion traces their family’s witch lineage to Branwen in Wales, reframing Jinx’s reputation as “Jinx” as inherited magical ability.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/chapter-six-jinx-and-the-witchs-gift/138020/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/chapter-six-jinx-and-the-witchs-gift/138020.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Bill Black","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-18","2026-08-23",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Why does Tory believe Jinx is a witch?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Tory points to Jinx’s behavior during an earlier accident, saying she saw the whole event and noticed Jinx reacted before the danger occurred.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What does Tory say about the “gift” Jinx possesses?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Tory tells Jinx that magic is an inherited ability in their family line, tied to their ancestor Branwen, and that Jinx’s situation fits that pattern.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does Tory plan to convince Jinx?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Tory says she will prove it without resorting to dramatic magic tricks like levitating the mattress, instructing Jinx to stay where she is.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},138020,1787473134,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":8,"category_name":10,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":129,"read_time":144},24189269381491,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/160000cf11732dd8392?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1788146458752108895","Chapter Six  \nI blinked at her. Tory looked perfectly serious, leaning against the door. She still had on the black minidress, and her makeup was still perfectly arranged. Four hours of sitting in a hard plastic chair in a hospital emergency waiting room had done nothing to mar her perfect beauty.  \n“A what?” My voice broke on the word what.  \n“A witch, of course.” Tory smiled tolerantly.“I know you’re one, there’s no use denying it. One witch always knows another.”  \nI began to believe, not so much from what Tory had said, but from the curiously tense way in which she was holding her body--like our cat Stanley always does back home, when he’s getting ready topounce--that Tory was serious.  \nJust my luck. It would have been nice if she’d just  \nbeen joking around.  \nI said, choosing my words with care,“Tory, I’m sorry, but I’m tired, and I really want to go to sleep. Maybe we could talk about this some other time...?”  \nIt was the wrong thing to say. All of a sudden, Tory was mad.  \n“Oh,” she said, straightening up.“Oh, that’s how it is, is it? You think you’re better than me, because you’ve been practicing longer, or something? Is that it? Well, let me tell you something, Jinx. I happen tobe the most powerful witch in my coven . Gretchen and Lindsey? Yeah, they’ve got nothing on me. They’re still doing stupid little love spells. That don’t work, by the way. There are people at school who are afraid of me, I’m so powerful. What do you have to say to that, Miss High-and-Mighty?”  \nMy mouth fell open .  \nThe thing is, I should have known . I don’t know why, when Mom had told Aunt Evelyn about what was happening, and Aunt Evelyn had suggested I come stay in New York for a while, I thought I’d be safe here.  \nI should have known . I really should have.  \n“Tory,” I said. I couldn’t quite believe this was happening.“No offense, but my head hurts…and I’m really tired.”  \nNow it was Tory’s turn to blink, and she did so owlishly, staring at me as though I were one of those swan faucets in the bathroom that had suddenly begun to speak. Finally, she said,“You really don’t know, do you?”  \nI shook my head.“Know what?”  \n“That you’re one of us,” Tory said.“You must have suspected. After all, they call you Jinx.”  \n“Yeah, they call me Jinx,” I said, with a bitterness I didn’t attempt to disguise.“Because, like your little brother said, everything I touch gets messed up.”  \nBut Tory was shaking her head.“No. No, it doesn’t. Not today, it didn’t. Jinx, I watched you . I was on the phone with my mom, and I came inside, and I saw the whole thing from the living room .” Tory’s eyes were so bright, they seemed to glow in the soft light from the bedside lamp.“It was like you knew what was going to happen before anybody even did anything. You shoved Zack out of the way BEFORE that bike hit the sidewalk. You couldn’t have known that’s the direction that biker was going to turn. But you did. Some part of you did know- -”  \n“Of course part of me knew,” I said, frustratedly.“I’ve had plenty of experience. If I’m around, whatever is the worst possible thing that can happen, will happen. Story of my life. I can’t not mess something up, if there’s anything there to  \nmess up.”  \n“You didn’t mess anything up, Jinx,” Tory said.“You saved someone’s life. Zack’s life.”  \nI shook my head again. This was unbelievable. This was what I had come to New York City to get away from. And now it was starting up all over again. My cousin Tory—the last person in the world I would have suspected of such a thing--was trying to start it up.  \n“Look, Tor,” I said.“You’re making a big deal out of nothing. I didn’t- -”  \n“Yes, Jinx. Yes, you did. Zack says so. If you hadn’t done what you did, Zack would have been a pavement pancake.”  \nSuddenly, my stomach was hurting more than my head. I said,“Look, Tor. Maybe- -”  \n“Jinx, you’re just going to have to face it. You have the gift.”  \nMy breath froze in my throat.“The…the what?”  \n“The gift,” Tory repeated.“Didn’t Grandma ever t","cbCaitHqQgqI5cv6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitHqQgqI5cv6","pdf",203383,23,"English","# Chapter Six\n## Tory’s claim and the confrontation\n## Family history of witchcraft\n## “The gift” and the next step","[{\"question\":\"Why does Tory believe Jinx is a witch?\",\"answer\":\"Tory points to Jinx’s behavior during an earlier accident, saying she saw the whole event and noticed Jinx reacted before the danger occurred.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Tory say about the “gift” Jinx possesses?\",\"answer\":\"Tory tells Jinx that magic is an inherited ability in their family line, tied to their ancestor Branwen, and that Jinx’s situation fits that pattern.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Tory plan to convince Jinx?\",\"answer\":\"Tory says she will prove it without resorting to dramatic magic tricks like levitating the mattress, instructing Jinx to stay where she is.\"}]","Chapter Six - Jinx and the Witch’s Gift | PDF",35]
