Disclaimer: I dont own Night World, L.J Smith does

Okay

Calm down girl! For Goddess sake it's not like you're drinking the cup of Lethe. All you're doing is telling your soulmates family that you're a renegade witch who broke the most important laws in the Night World and for their protection they have to go to the Circle Daybreak Headquarters that just happen to be right here in Las Vegas. That should be easy to tell them right?

I couldn't believe I was going to do this. Then again Ros would be easy to tell; she was suspicious as it was. But Eric's mom; how was I going to tell her. She has been so nice to me since I imposed on her when I supposedly drank from the cup of Lethe. But she would never believe this. She would probably call the men in the white coats with the big net.

Eric was being very calm about the whole situation. He was so calm it was unnerving. I looked at the clock and saw that it was half seven. Mrs Ross comes home from work at eight. GoddessGoddessGoddessGoddess. Argh! Snap out of!

There was a knock on the door and Eric stepped in. he must have heard my mini panic attack through the link.

"Thea calm down! Everything's going to be okay."

I just glared at him and sat down on the bed. He followed and wrapped his arms around me. As always I calmed down; Eric was my rock and with him next to me, it's hard to think that anything was not okay.

We stayed there till eight and the front door opened. We stayed there while Eric's mom made dinner. We stayed there until she called us and Ros. We stood up and I took a deep breath. Taking Eric's hand, we left the room believing everything would be okay.

A/N It must have been hard to tell someone who was completely human about the Night World. Anyhu, Hello again. Its been sooo long but between piles of homework and study for my Junior Cert I havent had a lot of time. And I have some bad news, because of that charming Junior Cert, this will probably be my last update until its over. But you know what would cheer me up? lots and lots of reviews :P see you on the 17th of June! - Ali
