Chapter 4

The tacos were pretty good, we all ate a bunch. That s when I noticed what Momo put in hers. Are those peaches?

I nearly screamed. What, you get to eat yours with tomatoes, why can t I eat mine with peaches? Momo demanded. Ummm... was all I could come up with

That s what I thought! Momo huffed, then continued eating her taco. How Jay could deal with her, I have nooooo idea. Just then, a giant ice cream truck drove by and Momo yelled, Peaches! Before running after it. She came back with cones for all of us and a peaches and cream one for herself, licking it merrily.

It started to get late and Crystal was leaving, waving to the siblings that were talking in the corner when all of a sudden Jay yelled, No freaking way! And Momo replied, Yes freaking way!

You got kicked out of boarding school? Jay yelled.

Oh like you never did? Momo yelled back. Soooooo not the point right now! jay yelled back at her, his face gone red with anger, he threw his hands in the air, then looked at her again, how did you manage it this time? He grumbled. Momo blushed and mumbled something. What? Jay asked, Say that again Momo blushed harder and mumbled again, only a tiny bit louder. huh? Jay said, sounding kind of dumb. I GOT CAUGHT MAKING OUT WITH MY TEACHER! Momo yelled. WHAT! Jay yelled.

It wasn t my fault! We were doing a project and I drank something thinking it was my water. When I went to talk to my teacher, I just started kissing him! Jay glared at her, And i suppose you teacher pulled away, like a good person would? He looked repulsed, and very very mad,While momo looked embarrassed and dreamy about the situation, N-no... Uh oh...

Where is he because I swear I will tear him to shreds and drink his blood! I ran to him and grabbed his shoulder, Jay, you know we don t hunt humans like that, We already have enough problems with the human Rioters, we don t need more. I said soothingly. He pushed me and knocked me over. I got up and stopped him and that seemed to wake him up. I turned away from him and power surged through me, FIRE! Cage him! Suddenly, there was a ring of fire around Jay. He looked shocked and hurt that i would use my powers against him, but I didn t take that kind of Bullshit, Flo, sweetie, I did not mean it! I was just angry and I m sorry. He looked at me with truly sorry eyes.

Jay, I- and everything went black. I heard footsteps and yelling... but it was as if I were in a tunnel. I woke up all groggy and very thirsty. I sat up then lay back down as a sharp pain in my heart stung me. I looked around and saw a glass of blood on the dresser next to a ruby. A ruby for strength and blood. I said to myself. I silently thanked Crystal, and chugged the blood. I didn t realize how thirsty I was until I took a sip, and before I knew it, every last drop was gone. The power surged through my body, waking me up. I put down the glass and picked up the ruby. I gasped. The power of the ruby ran up and down my body, strengthening me. As I got up I looked around the room. I touched other crystals and things to help me feel better. I chuckled, Good Ole Crystal. Flo? Honey, are you awake? I heard in my head. I growled and made a mental block in my head after thinking, BASTARD I NEVER SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED YOU!

I heard his sigh from the living room and put an unhappy face for him. Flo, I said I was sorry, and you already burned me! What more do you want? he asked, not opening the door.

Go away, I yelled firmly. But of course, he didn t. I growled and went to go change. I could feel him trying to read my mind, but my shield was still out. When he tried a little harder I sent a wave of pain to him. Ow! Then I heard footsteps and a thud. Hey! Momo don t push me! Jay said. I ll push you again if you don t move! Momo said then I heard the door click. Soon-to-be sis? You okay? She asked when I came out of my closet in jeans and Elmo T-shirt.

She was wearing a Beatles shirt, skinny jeans, and bright pink converse. I grunted and held out my glass hoping she would get the hint. She fake gagged making me giggle then took the glass, holding it like a prep touching a tacky shirt before opening the door. You want to get on her good side? She asked Jay. Of course, she s my girl. Jay answered sweetly. Then go get hers some blood! Momo said, throwing the cup at him and slamming the door shut. We heard footsteps and he was gone.

Dork. She said rolling her eyes. I giggled. Momo was the best. So Momo, if there were such thing as peach flavored blood would you drink it? Her eyes widened, YES! I have to, I dropped a carton of peach juice into a glass of blood. It was deli-sh! Just then there was a knock on the door. I sent a mental picture of myself smiling to him and he came in. Hey cutie, He said. Hi! Responded Momo. Jay rolled his eyes, I meant Flo.

Ohhhh...

I grinned at him, snatching the glass of blood. I closed my eyes and drinking deeply. All of a sudden, I saw a cute little wolf pop into my mind. Oh my Beatles! She s glowing and she s flying! I heard Momo say. I finished the last drop and conjured the wolf. I didn t know why, but I knew I should.

He was a beautiful black wolf. He bowed to me and said, MY fair queen. I am your humble servant. I gasped. Y-you can talk? Momo stuttered. The wolf chuckled, Allow me to introduce myself. I am Cornelius, Queen Florah s familiar. I blinked at him, before looking at Momo, looking for an explanation.

She rolled her eyes, A familiar is an animal who not only serves you every need but is a part of you soul. If you are hurt, so is um, Corny over there. If you die, so does your familiar, but if Corny dies, you can still live. Though, having your familiar dead will result in you dying... not many can live without them. The pain is unbearable and many kill themselves...

Cornelius, Jay corrected. Whatever, Momo said dismissively.
