Summary: Mornie utúlie. Believe and you will find a way. Mornie alantie. A promise lives within you now. He went on a mission never to return again. Or so they said.
Juzblue: Glad you liked the chapters.
The real vampire: ANDROS IS DEAD! Ask Jenny, he's dead, right Jen?
Ghostwriter: Yeah, she told him to get lost. Great, isn't it?
LucyE: Yeah, this was what Aurora was planning to get rid of Derek. As far as I'm planning, that was also the last time he was mentioned.
TF Princess: Glad you like it.
Jenny: Well, you're right, that is what I'm planning, but first there's another chapter continuing… Oh, you know.
The-power-of-love: Don't cry. Andros may be dead, but things should turn out just fine.
Phantom Rogue: Aurora is the sweetest girl in the world! How dare you say she's not nice?
Arwennicole: It's okay, really. I knew you were still out there, since I've been getting the Author Alerts in my mailbox, so of course you are forgiven my friend. Oh and I should be updating everyday.
What Was Lost
Chapter 10
"Bye Aurora. Don't forget my postcard!" Genesis smiled as she waved to her friend.
"I'll try not to." Aurora promised, getting into the car.
Ashley smiled as Aurora sat down next to her and started the engine, pulling off the driveway and onto the road. After waving one last time to Genesis they drove off to the airport.
Just as they passed the sign saying, 'You are now leaving Crystal Springs. We hope you had a nice stay. Visit us again sometime.' a moving van entered Crystal Springs.
Somewhere else in Crystal Springs
"Where is it?" Cassie complained. "It should have been here before we arrived."
"It could have been stuck in a traffic jam, like us. Or maybe the driver got lost, like us." Saryn offered.
"Very funny." Cassie said, shooting him an amused look and shook her head.
She was just about to go into the house and see what her children were up to, when the moving van come around the corner. She let out a relieved breath. The longer she was outside, the more uncomfortable she felt. What if Ashley just happened to walk by?
Things were only going to get more complicated when Carlos, Aura and their kids would move here next week. At the moment they were staying at TJ and Tessa's house in Angel Grove, waiting for their stuff to arrive. Last she heard Carlos was trying to get a job as PE-teacher at Crystal Springs Junior High.
As the movers started to move the furniture from the van into the house, a car pulled up to the house next door and a woman stepped out.
"Oh, hello." She greeted. "You must be the new neighbours."
"Well, yeah. Hi, I'm Cassie Chan." Cassie introduced, shaking the woman's hand. "And this is my husband Saryn."
"Lacene Banks. It's nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is all ours." Saryn replied.
Lacene nodded.
"Oh, I'll warn you now. My youngest, Genesis's music can get pretty loud. That's the reason the other neighbours moved."
"You're not to worry." Saryn said, amused. "Our children are liable to try and outdo her. Especially the boys."
"How many children do you have?" Lacene asked, interested.
"Three, two boys, fourteen and twelve, almost thirteen and a daughter of eleven." Cassie replied. "And you?"
"Two daughters, Kelly, the eldest is twenty and off to college, so she won't bother you too much and Genesis is seventeen. The only reason it's quiet at the moment is because she went to see her friend off to Ireland."
"She's moving too?" Cassie asked.
"Oh no, Genesis would freak if she moved. No, she's going on a vacation. Her mother gets send to a lot of conferences around the world and she always takes her two children with her. She's a single mother you know. Genesis is often jealous of her friend, in a good way of course. The two of them are the best of friends."
"I know those kind of friendships." Cassie smiled.
Just then a girl walked up to them. She had dark brown hair with red streaks running through it and deep green eyes. She looked at Cassie and Saryn with interest.
"Hi." She greeted.
"Genesis, these are our new neighbours, Saryn and Cassie Chan. Saryn, Cassie, this is Genesis."
Before Cassie and Saryn could say anything a girl came running out of the house.
"Mommy!" She cried. "Anlon and Kagan are bugging me."
Cassie shook her head.
"That's our cue to go." She sighed. "I was nice to meet you. I'm sure we'll talk again soon."
"I don't doubt it. Genis, could you help me get the groceries inside?"
Genesis nodded and opened the trunk of the car as Cassie turned to her daughter.
"Come on, Abigail. Let's punish your brothers, shall we?" She said, offering her hand to the girl.
Abigail nodded and took her mother's hand, following her parents back into the house. Before she stepped in though, she waved at Lacene and Genesis.
"Nice people." Lacene smiled.
"I feel like I know them from somewhere." Genesis replied, tilting her head, studying the retreating pair. "I just can't figure out from where."
