DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN FABLEHAVEN! IT BELONGS TO BRANDON MULL!
Reveling Knowledge
Seth's POV
Why does Kendra insist on ruining my fun? All I was trying to do was tease her. That's my thing! She should know that by now!
Once I had been discovered I went upstairs to my room. After the demons had been relocated, we had built a new house for my family at Fablehaven. Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen were in the main house; Grandma and Grandpa Larsen were in the Old Manor, and Kendra, my parents and myself were in the new house. We had all gone to our house for celebration of the new Fablehaven. I finally had my own room but Kendra was next door. When people came by, they would go to Kendra's room first because she was the closest to the stairs.
Right then, Bracken came into my room. He looked really embarrassed.
"Bracken, I'm sorry. Teasing Kendra is just something I do. I found an opportunity so I took it. I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed."
"Seth, it's okay. Truthfully I'm glad you did. Kendra and I aren't exactly in a relationship but I didn't want to explain to your parents that I love your sister. I'm glad you took care of that worry."
"Oh, well then I'm glad that I said it. Kendra didn't seem too thrilled though."
Bracken started laughing. I watched him laugh for a minute then joined in.
"Your sister will always be a mystery, Seth. That's why I love her though. I've gotten to know you, Seth, and I'm glad I did. You are a great boy and I can't wait to see what other adventures we will go on together. I hope we can still be friends even though I love your sister."
He didn't wait for an answer. He just walked out the door. What was that all about? Bracken met me first and he should not be dating my sister. Kendra never dates my friends. She doesn't even like my friends. What was so different about Bracken? Okay, he was a unicorn. I'll give him that, but he doesn't really seem like the guy that would tie himself down to one girl. Maybe Bracken was more than what the eye's can see. He never really seemed like Kendra's type anyway.
I climbed off my bed and walked downstairs. Mom and Dad were doing the dishes and Grandma and Grandpa Larsen were showing Bracken some old videos. Bracken had an arm around the, now sleeping, Kendra. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Is something amusing Seth?"
Grandpa Sorensen.
"I just think it's funny that Bracken and Kendra are so open about cuddling. Kendra is always embarrassed when it comes to guys. She will do anything to keep me from teasing her. Like with Scott and Gavin. She never showed any flirtatious movement and now, with Bracken, she doesn't seem to care much that people see her with him."
Scott was never a nice guy. He was handsome but he was a brat to all the girls he dated. Gavin was a nice guy; until we found out he was really an evil demon trying to kill us. Either way, no flirting.
"Well maybe this time is different. I mean, she really cares for him and she knows that he won't betray her like Gavin did or be rude like Scott. She knows she can be herself and he will love her never-the-less. Bracken is a good friend of yours and you should be happy that he has found someone to love."
"I am happy for him. I'm just not to thrilled that his love happens to be my older sister. It's just too creepy. Seeing my best friend and my sister cuddling on the couch. It just makes me want to barf!"
I made a gagging noose and we both started laughing.
"Are you boys behaving?"
We looked over and saw Grandma Sorenson coming our way. We both stopped laughing immediately.
"I will not tolerate you two ruining my granddaughter's love life. She deserves a break from all the stress and a handsome young man is exactly what she needs."
"Actually Ruth, I am a man and Seth is becoming more of a man every day."
This time it was grandma's turn to laugh. Weather it was at me or grandpa being a man, she was still insulting one of us, or both. Our smiles disappeared then.
"We are men. It's not funny!"
That just made her laugh harder. She walked away laughing. I stood up and was ready to go after her and protest but grandpa stopped me.
"Calm down Seth. She didn't mean anything by it. It's just like saying Kendra's a girl even though she is a young lady."
"No. Kendra is a girl. That's why she doesn't like it when she has to go on the adventurous trips to save the world. She says if I could take her place then she would trade me. That's why I snuck away that one time and…"
"Seth, calm down. It's fine. You're a man and you know that and you shouldn't care what other people think about you as long as you are happy."
"Did you give that same speech to Kendra? Is that why she's not caring what we think about her and Bracken?"
"No, Seth I did not talk to her about this. She has grown so she learned it for herself and if you end up finding someone as special to you as Bracken is for Kendra then you will understand."
He then stood up and walked away. Finding someone special huh? Yeah right! I'm not into girls right now.
"Hey Seth. What's up?"
I turned around to see who it was but no one was there.
"Over here dummy."
I looked next to me and Warren was sitting right by me.
"Not you! I don't need you telling me that a girl will one day steal my heart and I will fall in love and not care what other people say. I get it!"
"I wasn't going to talk about that but it is true. I mean look at me and Nesy."
"Oh gross! You have a nickname for Vanessa! That's really sick Warren! I thought you, of all people, would never tie yourself down to one chick!"
"Hey! Don't call them chicks! They hate that! Especially nes, I mean Vanessa!"
"Who are you and what have you done with Warren? Are you a sting bulb? Is the sphinx trying to take over the world again? Evil monster!"
I stood up and started walking away but Warren grabbed my hand and I plopped down on the couch.
"Chill out Seth. I'm just saying that Vanessa has opened my mind to things I didn't think were possible. You will find that out sometime in your life. What I really wanted to talk to you about was the Eternals. We only have the sphinx and we need 4 more. I was wondering if you knew anyone that would be responsible enough, besides yourself, to take on this role?"
"Warren, how in the world would I know anyone that is responsible enough to do that? Except for my friends I've met through grandpa, I don't know anyone. Sorry."
"Seth, you're not getting the picture. I really want to be an eternal and so does Vanessa but I don't think Stan would like the idea of us becoming Eternals. Would you try to convince him that we are responsible enough to take on this role? Please?"
Where in the sane heck did that come from? Since when did Warren want to become an Eternal? This was too much. First my sister in an actual relationship, then Warren and Vanessa wanting to spend eternity with each other as Eternals. What is my life turning into?
"I'll think about it."
Before he could thank me, Doren and Newel ran in with blood all over themselves.
"Grandma! Grandpa! Everybody! Come quick!"
They all ran into the room. By then me and Warren were helping the satyrs sit down.
"What's the matter?"
Newel was the one who spoke up.
"It's the….the….the…"
"The What!"
Everyone glared at me. What was there deal? I bet they are as anxious as I am!"
"The…."
