When I hear footsteps coming up the stairs I hide under blanket and this
makes mum ask "what are you doing. I let out a muffled "Not ready to share
you yet" and I earn a laugh from her and a "Ok". I keep hidden under the
blanket and at the last second I hear the TV being switched and the door
opens. I hear Piper say "How you feeling honey" Mum says while holding my
hand "I just want to spend the day in bed alone if that's ok with you".
Even under the blankets I can hear when Piper frowns and I hear her say
"You sure honey cause we could do a girly day, just as girls, you used to
love to do that when you were down." I squeeze her hand and when she speaks
next I can hear a smile in her voice and she says "I think I will watch
television and just spend some time alone, I just don't feeling like being
around people yet". I hear the door shut and mum pulls me out and I tackle
her to the make her lie down. I start to tickle her and she tries to get me
but I keep dodging her hand. She finally gets me and I start to laugh too
loud which makes her stop and I sit on her lap and put my hands around her
neck and hug her and whisper "I love you mummy".
She pulls me into a tighter hug and I can feel her tears landing on my back as she says "I love you too baby". I pull out of the hug and say "So what do you want to do today seeing as I'm all yours". She smiles softly and says "I was thinking that first we could go back to sleep seeing as I woke up with someone way too early in the morning and was too intrigued with studying them to sleep". I smile and cringe a little and say "You were studying me?" she nods and says "Hey I've never seen you sleep what do you expect". I smile again, that seems to be all I am doing today and I lay down and she lays down next to me.
We lay there staring for a few seconds and then she closes her eyes. I put my hand up to her face and start to trace her face with my fingers. I feel how smooth her forehead is, slowly and softly trace over her eyelids and down her nose and down her lips. I bend forward and kiss her softly and say "I love you mummy". She smiles and murmurs "Love you too".
I lay back down and wonder if my dad will come after me or if he will try to destroy the source and if we will be a family again. At this thought I turn over and look to make sure mum is sleeping and I shimmer upstairs. I step in front of the book and before I have a chance to start looking for what I want it start flipping pages. It lands on the Balthazar page and I shake my head and say "I don't want to kill my daddy". The pages start to flip again and land on the last page in the book. It explains how to separate the source from a willing demon, in other words my dad to a T. All they have to do is kiss the one they love and then they have to have a little of each others blood and hey presto no more daddy source. Although the sources energy would go into another demon, as long as it isn't my dad I don't see the problem.
I smile and then shimmer back into the same position I was in before and fall into a deep happy dreamful filled sleep.
