CHAPTER 10

They walked to a cafe that just opened. "You know I never really wanted to go to France. Thank God, I'll never will." Catty said walking into the new French cafe. They sat down and started talking. "Nessa. Can I see you privately?" Catty asked. Vanessa nodded her head quickly and followed Catty to a different table. "Shoot." Vanessa said. Catty sure was going to miss the way Vanessa said that.

"Are you going to say I betrayed all of you when I choose to disappear?" Catty asked closing her eyes.

"Of course not! I'll be sad but never. I'll never say that about you." Vanessa said grabbing Catty's hands.

Catty smiled. "Thanks Nessa. If I ever find out a way, I'll visit you in your dreams." Catty laughed.

Catty and Vanessa hugged and walked back to the other girls with their arms linked together.

"Hey, Goddesses."

They all sighed deeply and turned around to the voice that sounded.

"You have 2 days left. The Atrox would love the a daughter and the heir to the secret scroll." Kelly hissed.

"No thanks. I'd rather disappear than joining the Atrox. As a matter of fact. That's what I'm doing. I'm disappearing. Like right now." Catty said pulling all of her friends with her out before the waiter could come and take their orders.

At Vanessa's house...

"Mom!? Where are you?" Vanessa yelled. "Are you here?" Tianna yelled. "Vanessa? What do you want? I'm in my studio! What do you want? I'm busy! Come quickly!" Vanessa's mom said quickly. They walked in and Catty went up and said, "Ms. Cleveland. I just wanted to say bye. I'm sorry to say that you wouldn't see me anymore."

"Why what happened?" Her mom said stopping her work. She was working on her newest work.

"Uh, I found my birth mother and I'm moving to Miami to live with her." Catty lied.

"I guess that's good news and bad news." Her mom said. "Well, I'll surely miss you." Ms. Cleveland said getting up and hugging Catty.

Catty nodded and they all left.

"Chica, that was good." Jimena complimented.

"Yeah, I almost believed you." Tianna said.

"Well, 1 down. 4 to go." Vanessa said.

They all sighed and started walking to Jimena's apartment.
