Kendra was sitting on a recliner near the pool area of Fablehaven. It had been almost a year since the demons where locked away in the old fairy kingdom and the varies had turned the prison into their new home. She enjoyed her life of being home schooled which helped her greatly. She was able to graduate early as she was able to move at her own place and her grandma's excellent teaching. While Seth being the slacker he was was behind in school. So while he was inside doing school work she was out relaxing by the pool.
Bracken came to the preserve a lot more than both of them expected. He tried to come over once a week sometimes coming more or less. Though they weren't dating they remained very close friends but they both knew they wanted more. It was obvious they had feelings for each other and everyone knew it too. For being friend they were rally close. Kendra was lost in thought when she felt someone sit next to her. She looked up and saw Warren and gave him a little smile.
"Hey kid." He said.
"You know your only like 6 years older than me?" Kendra asked.
"Well I like to call you kid." He stubbornly answered.
Kendra changed the subject to what was really on her mind.
"Do you have to go?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.
"Yes, I have to go with Seth." He responded.
"But-"
"If you say anything you'll talk me out of it and I can't be talked out of it, for Seth's sake."
She left out a puff of air.
"I just don't want anyone getting hurt." She said.
"If I don't go there is a good chance is gonna get hurt."
"I know but you're like the coolest person who lives here. I don't want you to die.
I can't take anymore death." She answered.
"I promise nothing will happen to me." He said as he leaned in and gave her a hug. "You can come if you want."
"I would love to but I don't want to." Kendra chuckled.
Seth soon after came and told them that the group was leaving soon. Kendra and Warren walked back to the house while Kendra started a conversation.
"Suppose you don't come back. Can I live in your hut." Kendra asked.
"Sure kid, sure."
Everyone shared a teary goodbye and before Warren Vanessa and Seth were off to the singing sisters for the 2nd time.
