CHAPTER FOURTEEN

SISTER TO SISTER

Kailyn shifted on her bed, her hand falling from beneath the blanket as she grumbled darkly in her sleep.

"Kay?" A soft voice called, gently giving her small body a little tap. "Kay?"

"It's not in the oven!" Kailyn said, jerking upwards. The visitor backed away, and then rolled her eyes at the girl.

"Are you done with your nonsense? We have much to discuss," The voice snapped.

Groggily rubbing her eyes in irritation, Kailyn turned to see her sister. "You didn't come home last night," She accused.

"You're my mother, now?" Caelan asked with amusement as she clambered off of the bed.

Kailyn crawled out from under the covers and eyed her half sister, suspicion evident on her face. Then she sat up straigter. "No, I'm your sister, which entitles me to free worry. Did you speak with Selene?"

"Yes."

"What did you need to see her about, anyways?" She asked.

"None of your concern," Caelan replied, taking a seat in her chair.

Kailyn finally looked her sister over with great interest, when she noticed something different. "Something isn't right," She said. "You did something."

A sly smile crept up on Caelan's face. "How could you tell?" She asked.

Suddenly, Kailyn's face wrinkled up in disgust. "You were with Simon?" She exclaimed.

Caelan frowned. "What's so bad about Simon?" She demanded. "He's really … good."

"So not need to know, and definitely over sharing. Eww! That whole … idea is wrong!"

"Which part? The fact that he's your boyfriend's father, or the fact that we-."

"Both!" Kailyn exclaimed quickly before Caelan could finish. "Ugh! You woke me up just to tell me that?"

"Of course not. We have a busy day today."

"What we?" Kailyn asked. "Why don't you get Simon to help you out?"

"Because we broke up," Caelan explained as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Kailyn froze in her attempt to climb out of the bed, and stared at her sister, jaw wide open. "What? Were you even going out?"

"I figured we would have, but your darling boyfriend broke it off," Caelan replied.

"I'm at a loss," Kailyn said. She pulled herself the rest of the way off of the bed, and started searching through her closet.

"Simon and Derek got in a fight this morning," Caelan replied.

"So … Derek knows about you?" Kailyn asked, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"No. He knows about the woman who spent the night with Simon. Unfortunately, the two got in an argument."

"About what?" Kailyn inquired.

"About Simon, and his obsession."

"Oh yeah … that. Do you have any idea how much it's been irritating Derek?" Kailyn asked. She pulled out a pink tank top and blue hip hugger jeans. Then she rummaged around before finding a blue canvas trench coat which had belonged to Derek before he gave it to her.

"He's not the only one," Caelan said distastefully. She turned her green eyes to search her sister, before blinking. Before Kailyn could even think, she found that her pajamas had been exchanged for the clothes she had picked out.

"I can get myself dressed," Kailyn grumbled.

"That was faster. Now sit, we have things to discuss," Caelan instructed.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the plan?"

"Right now I just want you to get Simon and Derek to get over their problems."

"That's it? That's so boring. Don't you have some big important mission you want me to take care of?" Kailyn asked curiously.

"Once you've taken care of that, I want you to look after Erika," Caelan said.

"Erika? Why?" Kailyn asked with confusion, pulling her blond hair back in a ponytail.

"It isn't of you concern just yet," Caelan replied cryptically.

"Well I'm not going to do it unless I have a good idea why you want me to," Kailyn snapped.

"Must you be so difficult?" Caelan asked with a frown.

"Just give me a good reason," Kailyn replied.

"I just want her monitored for now. I'm pretty certain I already know, but take note of the situation between Selene and Erika."

Kailyn laced up her shoes and then stood. "Alright, alright. Anything else?" Kailyn inquired.

"Give your big sister a hug?" Caelan suggested.

Kailyn smirked, but bent down and did as was requested. "I'm glad I still have some family," She whispered in her sister's ear.

Caelan patted her back. "Hey kid, family sticks together. Now get to work."

Kailyn pulled back. "Why am I trying to get Simon and Derek talking again?" She asked.

Caelan snorted. "I like Simon. I've told you this several times. But I won't get involved until I'm certain everything's okay between those two first. Priorities, Kay," She told her.

Kailyn shook her head, but then nodded as she stepped out of the room.

AN: Alright guys, I left a small clue about future chapters, so tell me if you picked up on it. Probably didn't, but still … Okay, the next chapter will hopefully settle all the latest conflicts, so I can move further into the story. Hopefully, we'll also see some characters that we haven't in a little while. So, please REVIEW, and I might get another chapter out sooner than next week (hint, hint)
