A petite brunette slipped into the back of her parents restaurant and silently prayed that her parents would not notice that she was just now getting in. No such luck. There at the stairwell leading to the apartment above the Crash Down Cafe was the petite ginger haired woman that Liz called her mother. There was a reason though that this had her shaking as Liz approached what was certain to be a massive blow out. It was not that her mother was particularly cruel or that they did not get along. It was that she had never seen her mother look more frazzled than she did at that moment. It had not even been this bad when she had been caught in the eraser room with Max Evans her sophomore year. Nancy had not gotten showered or dressed for the day yet waiting for her daughters return. She was still in silk Pajamas of emerald green and had her hair in a ponytail. Her expression was far less than hospitable and her eyes black and ready to Use if it came down too it.
Nancy was ready to explode and her daughter knew it. Mrs. Parker was dangerous if truthfully angry. For that reason it took place on such a rare occasion that Liz was not entirely sure what it would look like. Nancy Parker and her daughter had a secret they were descendants of the original founding families of Ipswitch, MA. Some time previously there had begun to be an exodus of their kind from Europe. 5 of these families settled together in the New World that is today the United States of America. When the "witch hunts" came here the families formed a covenant of silence that has kept them safe to this day. No one has ever been let in until they are married into it even then it is a slow and gradual process. Usually, only the men had the power and women were not born into the covenant. This made Liz and her mom very special to the others. Liz knew well that her mother had freakish control and for her to loose it was dangerous.
Sure enough Nancy lit off as soon as her daughter was within the technical line of sight. "I don't even know who you are anymore. You've become a stranger to me; you really and truly have. First you get involved with someone who really it made no sense that you would get involved with. Especially, given that you rarely gave any thought to boys aside from your cousin and the others. Even when you and Kyle hung out or you and Alex it was more platonic. Your schoolwork was always a priority to you. Your grades have slipped to Bs when you and I both know that is not like you. You are off at all hours without telling me. Maybe it is time that I made myself clear to you", she screeched. Liz trembled this was a truly awful and a terrifying thought to her. Making yourself clear to someone in the covenant meant using in a way to create extreme pain as a punishment for stepping out of line.
"So...I'm sending you away. You'll finish out your schooling next year at Spenser Academy and spend the summer with those who can maybe help you get sorted back out and back on track", Her mother finished finally. Liz bowed out and accepted this when her mother laid down the law. It would not be so bad she knew going to stay with Caleb and going to Spenser with him and the rest of the guys. She also knew that no matter how great things had gone in between her and Max it had never made sense for them to be together. Her emotions and thoughts regarding him had always been a jumbled mess since Tess entered their lives.
She knew that somewhere along the line she had gotten messed up big time. This meant that she needed to be sorted out. Maybe, just maybe it would be good to be back where she had always felt that she belonged anyways. Caleb was her only cousin and therefore as dear to her as a brother. Most girls' fear displeasing their fathers and not living up to the expectations they have for them. For Liz it had always been disappointing Caleb. There was no one on the world who could do I'm not angry just disappointed like he could. She just hoped that he would forgive her stupidity as well as the others.
