Chapter 1: One Month Later
Alicia had been looking out her bedroom window for the past hour. Mr. Torsson had told Tancred that he'd needed to practice his control over his endowment. Tancred had brought every kind of weather he could think of. He'd brought wind, lightning, thunder, rain, snow, sunshine, and hail.
He'd left out sleet, but Alicia wasn't going to say anything.
She thought back to the end of the wedding, when Mr. Torsson answered one of their most important questions.
Flashback…!
"Mr. T?" said Olivia.
"Yes?"
"I still don't get why Tancred was losing his powers."
"I wasn't really losing them Liv."
"Wait! You know what happened?"
"Of course." said Mr. Torsson "His endowment was getting stronger, but before it could do that it kind of had to go into hibernation first."
"So, it wasn't my fault?" asked Emma.
"Of course not. It was supposed to happen."
"Would it of killed you to tell me that?!" spoke up Alicia.
End of Flashback…
The laughter that had followed echoed through Alicia's head. It was amazing how Olivia and Alicia had caused such a huge problem over something that was supposed to happen.
She thought back to all the other things that had happened in the past month.
Charlie and Emma were now considered cousins.
Julia had decided to change her last name to Yewbeam, which Grandma Bone was not happy about.
Paton was still living at Charlie's house and Emma and Julia were still at the bookshop.
Only difference was that Emma saw a lot more of her step uncle.
Paton and Julia had decided not to have any kids.
That went out the window when they decided to adopt Billy.
And, most importantly, no one had found out about her father's phone call. Alicia had meant to tell them as soon as Tancred and Emma were dating again. But then so much had happened and she kept finding ways of putting it off.
"Alicia, are you packed yet?" called Mrs. Torsson.
"Yeah!"
Last time she'd slept over Olivia's she'd created a disaster. She wondered what would happen this time.
Read and Review Please! I tried to get the next story up ASAP. I waited to get reviews though. I don't own Charlie Bone. Tell me if it's any good!
