~ Kit's POV~
I smiled, feeling the surprise flit across my face. I stepped back and welcomed the two girls inside. "everyone" I turned fully and cleared my throat.
"this is Katii and Skye" I let my eyesight linger a little longer on Derek and Simon that everyone else.
"Andrew's daughters." I finished as surprise flashed across everyone's face. Katii smiled and continued for me.
"Sorry to drop in on y'all like this, but Dad always told us to come to you if we ran into trouble. Skye is a witch and I'm a Necromancer." She said, slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"No, that's fine, you are more than welcome here, girls. I'm sorry for the surprise, I wasn't aware that Andrew ever had kids." I said to them. It was Skye who answered me.
"He didn't talk about us a lot" She said and held her head back down.
"alright" I nodded "so how about dinner" and began filing people towards the dining room.
~~ Chloe's POV
We all sat around the table passing the bowls of food around, my gaze meeting Derek's more than, each time the question in his eyes more than it was mine. But he would just shake his head and return to his food.
"so, Katii, you're a necro? that's really cool, so is Chloe." Tori said as she sat beside Skye. Katii's eyes flicked up to me and i caught a glimpse of.. hate?
but it was gone as she blinked and she put on a smile that would fool anyone it wasn't directed at.
"That's awesome, I've never met another of us. I'm sure we'll be great friends" she laughed lightly and continued with her food. We ate in silence after that. Dismissing us from the table, Kit asked Tori to show the girls to their room, which was right across from hers.
"yes dad" she pretended to huff, smiling at him. Once Derek and I had made it to escape of our room, he stripped down to his shorts and made it bed before i did, having to tangle with putting on one of his shirts. climbing in next to him, he shut off the lamp and cuddled up to me, trailing his fingers across my stomach in absentminded paths. but each touch filled me with warmth and I felt his body relax against mine as my fingers ran through his dark, soft hair. Soon the low grumble of his snore let me know he was asleep.
From the hall I could hear two people whispering, tho i couldn't make it out. and then Tori and Skye said goodnight to each other and i heard the two doors shut. I blinked and let the bliss of sleep take me over.
