ugh why again do we have to live here I ask while driving up the highway to my new "home"
a sulky voice replies because you were stupid enough to fight with your mother and she
sent you hear remember,now shut and drive
"midnight why cant you take my side she is so damn controlling"
your mother is the head of the council do not talk about her that way
whatever you stupid cat I mumble
midnight who has been on the backseat jumps and lands up front
her black fur raised in ager and green eyes glaring at me
her mouth moves a normal person would expect a hiss or meow
her words are as clear as if she were a human in the car with me
I am a Gemini don't call me a cat!
"well you look like one so..."
"you need to learn things I always try to tell you about my history but you
never listen" midnight instructs me
" you and my mom with this learning history nonsense I don't care!"
the rest of the ride is silence
an uncomfortable silence
I look out the window and all I see
are trees on either side of me
it begins to rain it goes from light to downpour
in minutes
through my window shield I can make out a house in the distance
were here I whisper
in a few seconds I found and parked in the drive way
I open the car door and step out
I wait
midnight stay in car
wh...
I don't want to get wet midnight answers my unspoken question
not saying anything
I walk up to the house and go up the steps
without looking around I knock on the door
the door opens and Charlie I mean my father stands in the doorway
he look at me happy and smiling
your here!
yes I answer in a non chalant voice
he looks around
"Now tell me is voice a little more serious
are you a witch?"
