Getting Acquainted

Delia and Collin were in the kitchen eating lunch, both silent.

"I'm sorry I broke your flower pot." said Delia.

Collin laughed. "Are you kidding me I hated those flowers. If you did anything it was a favor."

Delia smiled. Wally jumped on top of the table and stole Delia's sandwich. Collin didn't seem to notice he was to busy reading up on Delia's power. Delia sat back in her chair an watched Wally bring her sandwich over to his food dish.

"Oh well" Delia said.

"Huh?" Collin looked up. "Wally!" he ran over to him and took the sandwich out of his mouth. "Sorry Delia." he said. "Wally tends to do that, its Serena's fault. Can I make you another one?"

"Not to hungry anymore" Delia looked at the slime on her old sandwich. Collin laughed.

"I'll be right back" Delia said and headed upstairs.

"OK" Collin put Wally in the laundry room.

Serena walked in the house followed by the other daughters.

"Hello" Collin seemed confused.

"There here to meet Delia" Serena told him. "You and I need to talk. Where's Delia?" she asked.

"Upstairs" Collin said. "Wally ate her sandwich."

"Oh oops" Serena giggled. Collin just stared at her.

"Delia!" Serena called upstairs for her.

"What?" she called back. All the daughters were silent. "Well you don't have to be scared of her." Serena pointed out. "Can you come down here I want you to meet some of my friends!" she shouted again. Serena asked them to sit down in the kitchen so it wouldn't look weird when she came down.

"I'm coming!" Delia ran down the stairs. Delia walked into the kitchen and stopped at the entrance not knowing how many people were there.

"Hi" she said in a small voice.

"Well come on in" Serena took her hand. These are my other friends and guess what?" she said. "There daughters too." A smile cracked on Delia'sface.

"Hi" she said again.

"Oh come on honey" Catty laughed. Don't be shy you're a Killingsworth."

What's your name?" Delia walked up to Catty.

"Hi, I'm Catty." she said. The other daughters introduced themselves. Delia seemed to like them very quickly. Serena brought Collin in the other room while Delia got acquainted with the others.

"Collin" Serena said.

"Don't tell me she's a daughter." Collin said quickly.

"She's not." Serena said. Collin looked relieved. "But she is apart of us." Serena said. Collins shoulders slumped. "She's a-" "A normal person!" Collin interrupted her. "She is not going out with you and the others to fight the Atrox! She's just to young I won't let it happen!" Collin seemed very angry.

"But Collin this is what she was born for. To help us." Collin sat down on the couch.

"Like I was saying she's what Maggie calls a gift that some generations of daughters get to help fight the Atrox." Collin rubbed his temples as if he had a head ache. "Serena I can't let her do this" he said. "Do you know how vulnerable she is?! The girl gets her sandwich stolen by a raccoon and runs upstairs! How the heck is she going to take on followers? Not to mention that she has no control over her power whatsoever."
"Maggie is going to help with that" Serena said.

"Serena this power is known for doing evil stuff. Hardly anyone knows how to control it."

"How do you know?" Serena asked.

"I read some stuff." he answered.

"Well Maggie can help us trust me." Serena was reassuring Collin trying to sound convincing so she could convince herself too. Collin had a point. She was very little and knew nothing about the outside world.

"OK" said Collin. "Say that Maggie does train her powers. How do we know that she's not going to accidentally blow up Maggie?!" Serena sat down next to Collin.

"I never thought of that." Serena muttered. She sat there for a few minutes listening to Delia and the other daughters talk in the kitchen. Then a smile crept over her face.

"But I might know someone who can help her" Serena said. Collin looked at her trying to figure out just who she had in mind.

A/N - Sorry this chap is a little boring I am sort of in a writers block. Please review! I don't know whether to keep going or not cause I don't know if anyone is reading this at all. So if maybe I could get like 5 reviews then that will signal me to keep going. Thanks for all of them they are really sweet! ~Magsy~
