Now read on Mea RETUNSUS magis amici, read on.
"No Alexis we can't bring him!"
"Stacey is HIS little sister!"
"I don't care! He is mortal, no matter how well trained!"
"Aiden isn't a dog, and he is not going to go off making deals with Faeries!"
"NO Alexis for the last time, HE CANT COME! You shouldn't come either, but I know that's not happening."
"I will give you a choice. Either he comes with us-"
"NO Ale-"
"OOORRR I go separate from you, and With Aiden."
"WHAT, No!"
" Those are your choices, Keri. Take it or leave it."
"Fine."
My brother and I were standing in Aiden's room arguing, while Aiden was down stairs with his mom comforting her, and telling her that the ice was a chemistry project that he was doing with Kieran. Since I won I marched down the stairs with my brother trailing behind me, his head hanging.
When we reached the living room I stopped, causing my brother to run into me. (With his head down he wasn't paying attention to where he was going) Even though I had spent so many days here, even weeks here I felt as if I was an intruder, Miss Gregory was sobbing in the pinstriped arm chair, with Aiden perched on the arm hugging his mother. It was surprising to see them like this; it showed how different they were. Miss Gregory had curled auburn hair with a little grey at the roots, and when her shoulders were hunched she looked even smaller than normal. She looked very dull next to her son with his feather-like red hair and green sweat shirt.
"Miss Gregory," I started softly, as I walked over to her and kneeled in front of her. "I got a call from Stacey, she sounded very scared and lost, and I would like your permission to go find her. I may be gone longer than a day, I may be gone for a month, I may be gone for three. But I want you to know, Miss Gregory, that when I return I will bring back your daughter, and she will need you to be strong for her. Because where she is, is very dangerous, and she will be scared." I took her trembling hands into my own and looked her straight in her blue eyes. "Do I have both your permission to take your son with me and your assurance that when we return you will be strong for Stacey?"
"My dear girl, Bless your soul, and bring my little girl home." She kissed my forehead. When I stood I kept Miss Gregory's hands clasped tight in mine, and brought her up with me. Her sky blue button down had soaked sleeves and her eyes were bloodshot and puffy. She drew me over to the kitchen and put a pot of tea on, taking deep breaths every few seconds. The boys slowly came into the room and stared at me in awe, they had never before seen this kind and comforting girl that moved before them now.
"Well are you just gonna stand there? Or are you going to help?" I asked the boys while pulling on a faded blue apron.
"Yea, of course what are we making?" Aiden said as he went to the pantry and wrapped a half apron around his waist.
"Sugar berry tea cakes!" I shoed my brother away knowing he wouldn't help. "Aiden!"
"Yeah?"
"Stop!" I yelled at him teasingly while chasing his hand away from the faery berries. "No eating faery food that hasn't been fixed, don't want you to go delusional and run down Lincoln Street in a furry bikini!"(A/N hehehe mortal instruments joke) Miss Gregory giggled as she measured the sugar, as if imaging her oldest son in a bikini running down the street to town court. I smiled at the purple berries in the bowl in front of me, happy to see Miss Gregory laughing.
"Yes child please don't do that"
"Yes mother."
About an hour later the four of us were sitting around the table eating sugary cake, and drinking hot tea that cooled our nerves. I was telling Aiden's mom what Never Never was like, leaving out the bad and dangerous parts (which is most of it).
"Yeah mom calm down, Kieran and Alexis were born there." Aiden said calmly, seeing the surprise register on his mother's face he continued. "They know that place like the back of their hand, and they know like half the people there."
"Yeah, Miss. G we go there all the time. There's this really cool place called the Goblin market, and one time Alexis ki-"
"Oh," I said loudly cutting off my brother's story. "Miss Gregory the tea is amazing! I bet that we can stop by the Goblin market and pick you up some tea leaves! I know this dryad how grows her own tea and let me tell you it's Amazing!"
I heard my brother mutter something under his breath "Kiss up" I kicked his shin still smiling at Miss G.
"That would be great my dear."
"But to come back we do need to leave, Mom. So can we go?" I shoot a glare at Aiden, He wasn't helping the situation.
"What your insolent son means to say is that I believe our time to depart has come." I smiled up at her and rose from the wicker chair. "We will be back in a bit with our daughter."
"i.. uh.. Stacey..." She stumbled over her words, still sitting even though all of us were standing.
"Stacey is a very smart and independent girl. I am sure she will recognize the place she is in from the stories I tell her and be very careful and not make any bargains, and if she does I will take the favor off her."
"Thank you."
"It is my duty." I nodded at her and led the way out of the kitchen into the foyer and out the front door, into the warm evening air. The boys walked behind me, one on each side, we walked in silence back to my house, the pastel sun slipping under the horizon behind us.
