Darkest Powers: Trip to Paradise
Simon called the other day, said that Kit was taking the boys on a trip and was wondering if I wanted to join them. And of course, me being me, I jumped at the chance to see them. Why wouldn't I really? I haven't seen from them since the Edison Group fell 3 months ago.
So right now I'm up in my movie obsessed room packing. After Simon invited me I called dad, he's currently working in Mexico. He took the first 2 months off of work after Aunt Lauren and I came home. He was so shocked to see me that he broke down in tears as soon as I came into his view. We've really gotten close, so close that the only thing that he doesn't know about me yet is that I'm a necromancer...and I'm best friends with a witch, poltergeist-who's dead-, a sorcerer and a werewolf. Though my feelings towards the sorcerer and werewolf are a little more than friendship. I just can't figure out which one's the friend and which one's something more.
Off track, anyway after those 2 months he felt okay enough with going back to work, first only on day trips, working his way up to long trips. Aunt Lauren and I have reconnected to. We've talked through it all, and she sincerely regrets working with the Edison Group and getting my mother involved. But between you and me, getting involved with the Edison Group has changed me-for the better. Now I'm not the little Chloe who runs to her Aunt every time she needs help or is confused. Now I can hold my own, though it is nice sometimes to get a little help.
"Chloe!" Aunt Lauren Called from the bottom of the stairs. "Kit should be here any minute, are you all packed?" Aunt Lauren was going to come along with us. Kit invited her, and she still didn't fully trust Derek-the werewolf- but she got called in for work. She got a new doctor's job and she has a surgery this evening. Oh, well.
I headed towards the stairs with my luggage in toe. "Yes Aunt Lauren. It's all packed."
"Good," she smiled. "I hope you all have a nice trip." The look in her eyes made the whole scene look like she knew something I didn't.
"Do you even know where were going?" I questioned.
She headed into the kitchen, "How would I know where Kit's taking you? I'm not even going." She sat down at the island in the middle of the room and looked at me.
"Oh, I wonder. Cause it's not like you or dad for that matter really care where I go...and if I'll come back." I took a sip of my water and almost sip it out at her reaction. Her eyes held fear, her face paled and her mouth hung open but before she could reply I heard the most wonderful sound come from the front door. The sound of freedom!
"Coming" I called. I turned to Aunt Lauren and gave her a quick hug and a peck on the cheek. Then ran to the door, luggage in hand calling, "bye, I'll talk to you soon!" I reached the front door and had to take in a breath before turning the knob and opening it. My heart was pounding at the sight.
