The next day I stumbledout of bed in search of coffee. Seeing note attached to the coffee tin it read
I placed this on the coffee tin because you always go there first in the morning
"smartass"
Robin recalled me to the tower to find the source of the magic (you)
And to identify if it's friend or foe. sorry we didn't get to movie night maybe next time. I advise that you go on a vacation to the forest to get more herbs and avoid boy-blunder.
Your friend,
Rae
"fuck my life!" I groan as I go to pack.
Okay got to close the shop, put up the wards make a sign….fuck this sucks.
At the shop…..
As I walk towards my shop I bump in to someone because I had my head down and was grumbling. Falling backwards I put my hands back and flipped instead of landing on my ass.
"watch were your going whore, you'll mess up my hair" the brunette says.
IS THE UNIVERSE AGAINST ME?
"so I'm wonderful hallucinations of rainbows everywhere?" I ask snidely (A/N: this is an inside joke between my friends and me)
"Huh?" he says stupidly.
"Idiot" I say pushing him to the side.
"Hey!" he yells, indignantly " don't blow me off you-" he was cut off by his phone.
"yeah? Works fine. Yeah I found her " he answers smiling at me.
I really don't like that smile….
I turn and keep going to the shop. When I get there it's already open and there's a peppy girl behind the counter.
"Who the fuck are you and how did you get in?" I so very politely ask.
" Aren't I the one you did the hiring of yesterday?"
I freeze recognizing the dangers for me right now, I thank Rae for lying about me having hired some one to help in the shop.
"I'm sorry, I forgot, I had a stressful day yesterday. Must have slipped my mind."
" that is alright I am glad for this job" she replies.
" Right I came to tell you I'm going to my home…..town for a week or two so don't forget to lock up when you leave"
" oh really? I do not think I'm ready for such a responsibility" she stalls trying to get me to stay.
" from the knowledge you displayed yesterday I think your more then ready to close up for me." I say sneakily, that way anymore protesting would let me fire her or expose her as Starfire.
" o-of course I will but knowledge well, but if I may know where is your home town ?"
" a small town by Faerie Falls, its not that big so I wouldn't expect you to know it "
" well have a good trip" she says smiling sincerely now that she thinks she knows where I'm going.
Fool.
I turn and leave, grumbling about red-head bimbos. All my problems involve goddamn red heads. When get back home I grab my herb pouches and back pack, it was a small back pack designed for kids but reinforced with spells and elfish cloths woven into it.
I decide just to take the train to faerie falls. Considering even if they follow me they'll get lost as soon as they enter the forest.
" ALL ABOARD! NEXT STOP FAERIE FALLS!" screams the PA system as my bus screeches in.
" Could it get any fucking louder? " I grumble.
" probably."
I whip around, standing there the red-head from the bar. Looking at him now, with no flashing lights and screaming drunks, I wonder how I didn't see how much he looked, EXACTLY like him. I slap myself mentally.
where your snappy come backs now genius?
"whatever " I snort.
He leans and whispers "told you I'd find you" into my ear. I suppress a shudder. " wanna sit together?"
Told Rae I was never lucky.
