Logan
I snuck out of the house and walked down the path to where the elevator is. I made sure to avoid the campfires and to be quiet. I didn't need Alex to find me.
I finally reached the elevator. I smiled.
"I'm coming, Mom." I whispered.
"And what do you think you're doing?"
I looked up and saw Alex.
"Nothing! I was just taking a walk." I said.
"You're going after you mother aren't you?" Alex asked.
I looked at the ground ashamed. Alex is the one who raised me, he's like a father to me and all I've ever wanted to do is to make him proud. But, the person who I want to make proud the most is my mother. And I want to see her. I want to meet her. But now, it looks like I failed both of them.
"Yes." I answered.
Alex sighed and ran a hand through his hair. I read his emotions and found that he was confused.
"Why are you confused?" I asked.
"The day that Kal disappeared, I wanted to search for her, but the gods said that it was safer to let her be, and I couldn't leave you here." Alex answered.
That's the first time Alex has ever said my mom's name. Kal. I like the sound of that.
"Which is why we should go find her now. She could be in danger." I said.
"Remember Ash?" He asked. I nodded. "He's with her in Minnesota. He's her partner."
"I'm not going to stop. I'm going to find her." I said.
"I figured that much. Your mother was just as stubborn as you are." Alex said, throwing a backpack over his shoulder. "But I figured I should at least try to change your mind."
I smiled. Alex was just as happy as me. And I was glad he was coming along.
"Let's go." Alex said.
Standing up, I went with Alex to the elevator.
"Logan, just remember that she doesn't remember us. She especially doesn't remember you. So be careful around her." Alex warned.
"I will." I answered.
Alex
Ash was waiting for us at the airport. When Logan saw him, he smiled. Logan ran up to him and hugged him.
"Uncle Ash!" He said.
"Hey, kiddo. How was the flight?" Ash asked.
"It was great!" Logan replied.
I hugged Ash.
"It's been a long time." I said.
"But you're here now. C'mon, put your stuff in the back. I only got this thing for an hour." Ash said.
I put our stuff in the back row of the black suburban. Logan sat in the back seat. I went around and sat in the passenger seat as Ash got in the driver's seat and started the car, driving us away from the airport.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Kalake only agreed to let me drive it for an hour. She's very protective of her vehicles." Ash answered.
"She's protective with everything." I said.
Ash smiled. "True."
"My mom's name is Kalake? I thought it was Kal." Logan said, confused.
"That's her nickname." Ash said.
"Oh." Logan said.
"So, how far away is the house?" I asked.
"About fifteen minutes." Ash answered.
"What did you tell her about us?" I asked.
"Just that you're my cousins. And that Logan is your adopted son." Ash answered.
"Good." I said.
"By the way, Kal might actually believe that Logan is her son." Ash said.
"How?" Logan and I asked at the same time.
"Well, thirteen years ago, she gave birth to a boy and named him Logan. A week before she appeared in Duluth, she had given him up for adoption." Ash answered.
"Who does she think his father is?" I asked.
"She had taken a trip to New York and met a guy name Eros. She got drunk and that's how it happened. It's kind of interesting though what her memories ended up got changed to." Ash answered.
"Let's just hope that she can regain her memories." I muttered under my breath.
Kalake
"Hey, I'm back!" Ash called as he came inside.
"Cutting it kind of close, don't you think?" I said.
"Hey, I still had ten minutes!" Ash shouted.
"That's kind of close." I said, a smirk on my face.
He grabbed my sweater on the back of a chair and threw it at me. I shielded my face and laughed as it landed next to me.
"Love you too, Ash." I said, a blowing a kiss to him.
"Whatever, asshole." He said.
"Forcing it don't count." I said.
He stuck his tongue out at me as he sat down on his black leather chair. Then his cousins came into the living room.
I had to stop myself from whistling at his cousin. Ash said that he was a year younger than me. He had brown hair that was swept off to the side, maroon colored eyes, and tan skin. Everything about him was model quality handsome.
His son was good looking too. He had brown hair that was shaved on one side, tan skin, and chocolate brown eyes. Ash said that he was thirteen.
"Hey, I'm Kalake, but you can call me Kal." I said.
"I'm Alex. This is Logan." Alex answered.
I shook his extended hand. Then I got up.
"Here, I'll show you guys the guest room." I said.
I led them down the hall and to our guest room. I opened the door and went inside the room, they followed me.
There was a window showing the backyard where a garden was. There were two twin beds in the room as well.
"Thanks for letting us stay here." Alex said.
"Hey, it's cool. I'll leave my number on the counter in the morning and there's food in fridge and pantry in case you get hungry tomorrow." I said.
"Thanks." Alex said.
Before I left the room, I noticed Logan open up a locket that had interesting but cool design on it. Before he closed it I saw Alex standing over a girl holding a baby. I didn't get much time to study the girl, but I did see white hair and pale skin.
