I don't own the Night World or Morgead. :*(
"I can't believe she is going back to Edward! What an idiot! He left her!" Poppy was pacing in front of the tv raging on about how Jacob was way better that Edward.
Kim sat next to Tyler on the couch with his arm around her shoulder watching as James tried to calm his girlfriend down.
They had all just finished watching New Moon and even though she would never admit it, Kim used to be a total Twilight fan. The others didn't need to know that though.
"Poppy. It is just a movie calm down!" James was looking tired and frustrated.
Poppy glared and then stomped into the other room mumbling about it being more than a movie. James followed after her and the door slammed behind him.
Tyler and Kim looked at each other before bursting out laughing.
"Should we go?" Kim finally asked when she heard yelling from the other room.
"Nah. This is better than cable." He leaned closer to the door and concentrated on listening. After a few seconds he stood up and looked several shades paler.
"What? Are they talking about you?" Kim joked.
"They stopped fighting. We should go." Tyler started towards the door with Kim on his heels.
"Why? What-" She stopped when she heard a moan from the other room. "Oh. Ew."
They both almost ran to the car.
"Well, um where to now? Its just past noon." Tyler pulled the car out and started down the street.
"We could get some lunch?"
They decided to go to a Sharis and sat in a booth across from each other. Kim ordered pancakes and Tyler got a hamburger. After the waitress left Tyler reached across the table and held her hand. The cord felt stronger and Kim finally decided to ask him what was going on. It was time she got answers.
"The um secret that you are keeping from me. Does it have to do with the cord thing? I need to know the truth." Everything spills out before Kim can think of all the ways she had planned to ask him.
For a few seconds she is worried that he will be mad and is about to tell him to just forget it when he finally answers. "You do need answers. I'm not even sure where to start. You know we are soulmates, right?" Kim nodded slowly. "Well that basically means we are each others other half. The cord is what connects us. It's magic. Very old magic that is re-awakening along with other old powers."
This all made sense because Kim had felt the cord and knew he was telling the truth. Even if part of her wanted to say magic didn't exist the rest of her knew it did.
"This is the hard part. But the sooner you know the better. I'm not human." He stared into her with his eyes the color of moss, waiting for an answer.
"Then what are you?" Kim heard herself say but she was barely paying attention.
"I think it would be best to show you. But before I do I want you to know that I am on the good team. The one that is trying to save the world. Do you believe me?" His green eyes looked scared and nervous and a hundred different things. Including truthful. In her heart Kim knew he was telling the truth.
Nodding Kim took a bite of her food and they ate in silence. Finally when all the food had been devoured even though neither of them felt very hungry, Tyler stood and held his hand out for her.
Kim took his hand and followed him outside.
TA-DA! Haha review and tell me what you think!
