Bewitched
"Aye, you're a born hag, right enough," said the kelda, holding her gaze. "Ye've got that little bitty bit inside o' you that holds on, right? The bitty bit that watches the rest o' ye. 'Tis the First Sight and Second Thoughts ye have, and 'tis a wee gift an' a big curse to ye. You see and hear what others canna', the world opens up its secrets to ye, but ye're always like the person at the party with the wee drink in the corner who cannae join in. There's a little bitty bit inside ye that willnae melt and flow."
"She said ye were a strange one, always watchin' and listenin'. She said ye had a heid full o' words that ye ne'er spoke aloud."
"She was thinking: Aaargh! This is not happening to me! can't -- He couldn't-- We wouldn't-- They're not even-- This is ridiculous! Run away!"
(From : The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett)
