Well guys here is chapter 7! Thanks for being so patient with me! I do not own!
Kori's POV
"What?" Karen asked whipping her head around to look at me.
"Uhm… I can talk to and see spirits." I tell her making her jaw practically hit the floor.
"Are you shitting me?" Karen questions.
Oh no, she is either going to do the freaking out or she is going to call the psycho of paths.
"Are any of them hear right now?" Karen practically squealed as she looks around looking for any proof of an entity.
"Not that I can see…" I trail off as she keeps looking around as if looking for something.
"Oh my god, that's why all the crazy shit happens when you're around!" Karen says excitedly her eyes lighting up. "This… is… so… cool!"
"What?" I ask. Clearly, I did not hear her correctly.
"It's cool… it's like you have a super power. Is it scary… being able to do what you do?" Karen questions practically vibrating where she stands.
"Very…. I cannot believe you are so accepting of this. Why do you believe me?" I can't help but ask… I'm skeptical.
"This isn't something people lie about, and I believe you because Vic believes in you. No one in your family has ever lied to me before, so why would you start now." Karen reveals.
"You mean our family." I whisper to her causing a bright smile to cover her face.
"Does Dick know? You guys seem awfully close." Karen arches a brow and I just merely sigh.
"Oh god no. Yes, we are close… so close and that is why I cannot tell him. I cannot risk him looking at me differently, and not only that he is a major star, I do not want to tarnish his image." I explain as she nods.
"I understand where you are coming from, but if you want more with Dick you are gonna have to let him in." Karen tells me eyeing me with a Cheshire cat smile.
"More?" I ask softly
"Oh, come on, Kori, I see the way you look at him… you want him there is nothing wrong with that." Karen speaks cocking her hip.
"Am I that transparent? I mean yes, I find him very attractive and I do care for him deeply, but him and I would never work out. We come from different worlds, and not only that but I do not plan on staying In Jump… it is too hard to be here with so little people who understand me. Plus, Victor would have the hissy fit." I tell her earning a sigh.
"Well I…" Karen starts only to be interrupted.
"You girls all right out here? Lunch is ready." Richard says running a hand through his hair. "I have a friend in here I want you to meet Kor. He's been doing some traveling to film a book, and I'm sure he'd love to share travel stories with you." Richard says as he eyes us carefully as if he can tell we have been telling secrets.
"Oh truly? It will be nice to talk to someone about their travels!" I exclaim in excitement causing both Richard and Karen to chuckle. To say I was excited was an understatement, but I really liked sharing travel stories with others, compare places we have been, and learn about the places I have yet to see.
"You'll like him. Get the mutt so we can eat. I'm starving." Richard says with that sexy crooked smile that made me melt since the first day I met him.
"O… of course." I stuttered weakly and quickly looked away from him. "Silkie! Silkie! Come up here my Tateleh." I yell out to Silkie who's tail is now wagging in excitement before he bounded up the yard to the deck.
"Tateleh?" Richard asks making me smile.
He always loves learning new words
"Little darling." I answer as he nods.
"Hebrew?" He chews his lip his beautiful crystal eyes focused on me.
"Yes." I answer softly.
"Don't mean to interrupt, but are we ready to eat? Karen chimes in taking my attention away from Richard. She had a sly smirk on her face as she looked at me.
"Right… uhm we should go in. It is rude of me to keep everyone waiting." I mumbled and I refused to keep eye contact with him, instead I looked to Silkie who seemed to be sniffing the air in skepticism. I watched in confusion as his tail started to wag.
Woof! Woof! Silkie barked loudly, but not in his aggressive way it seemed as if he was excited. Before I could even blink Silkie darted into the house at full speed.
"What in the world…" I mumbled as both Richard and I walked into the large mansion to see what was up with my dog.
"Hey boy, did you miss me?" A voice called that sounded all too familiar. As we turned the corner into the large dining room I could see Silkie standing on his hind legs standing against someone, his tail wagging uncontrollably, and whining in pure excitement.
"I missed you to buddy! I also missed your mommy." The male voice laughed. Once Silkie settled a little I could finally see who was loving on my dog. A smile immediately appeared on my face as I looked at the handsome familiar man before me with sun kissed tan, hazel eyes, and auburn hair.
"Wally!" I squealed as I ran full force and jumping into his arms.
Wally West, the prankster and actor I have come to love as one of my best friends… well I guess one of my only true friends since I moved too much to get very close to people.
"Hey there, pretty girl." Wally spoke as he spun us.
"You guys know each other?" Rachel asked as she eyed the two of us carefully.
"Uh, yea, she was my translator when I traveled overseas a little over a year ago to write my book." Wally spoke making me cringe.
"Wally, you traveled all over the place. There is no way Kori was your translator she was in the Middle East." My brother stated in confusion.
"You didn't tell anyone?" Wally asked me in pure shock.
"My father knows…" I trailed off.
"What does your father know?" My mother questioned harshly.
"I… I… uh I got the suspended from teaching for a little while." I revealed making everyone's eyes widen.
"What?!" both my mother and Vic yelled.
… (Richard's POV) ….
Oh, fuck this is getting bad
"How could they suspend you?" Vic practically yelled.
"I harbored a criminal, and broke the law and as well as my teaching contract." Kori says with a light shrug but her face was set in a frown. "He was going to be charged for a murder he did not commit."
"Why would you do such a thing?" Amelia questions in horror.
"In Iran murder is a capital punishment. If I did not protect him I may as well just signed Wally's death certificate." Kori responded only to cover her mouth as she realized her mistake.
"You got charged with murder!" I yelled looking to one of my oldest friends.
"Yes, but it wasn't my fault. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time and everyone just assumed it was me! On top of that Kori had her dad come and investigate on my behalf." Wally tells us as Amelia puts her hands on her hips.
"That is why you went to Iran? You told me you were going to meet up with a friend." Amelia huffed as she glared at her husband.
"Technically, I was. I just didn't tell you that friend was Wally or that our daughter got into some deep shit." Leroy said in a slight accusing tone.
"She always gets into deep shit." Vic mumbled earning a hard smack to the back of the head from his mother.
"Don't start fucking chiming in… if I remember correctly you also got into deep shit quite often with that one over there." Amelia says as she points a finger at me. "Between both you and your sister I'm surprised neither I or your father has a stress related illness."
"I have to agree with you on that, and my son is no better." Bruce speaks as he walks into the lavish dining room. "Our kids seem to get into more trouble then most people in Gotham prison… especially this one." He chuckles lightly standing behind the Tamaranian beauty as she smirked.
The Oldman always had a soft for Kori. No matter what trouble she got into Bruce was there to help her out of it. The hard ass turned to goo when Kori was around. The girl could do no wrong in his eyes. Hell, Bruce treasured his best friend's daughter I swear more than he did me. Just like her father and Bruce the two also had a weirdly strong bond.
"Shalom Bruce." Kori says sweetly getting up from her chair to hug my "father."
"Shalom my dear, so good to see you again." Bruce states.
"Nice to see you to Bruce." I chime in making Kori giggle and Bruce roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Why is he so nice to her… are they fucking?" Gar questions a little too loudly.
"Dude! That's disgusting that's my little sister! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Vic yells making a gagging noise.
"Don't you ever think before you speak?" Rachael groans in annoyance as she rubs her temples.
"He's married, man." I grimace with a shiver.
"I thought it was a good question! I've never seen Bruce so… friendly with anyone other than Selena and your parents Vic." Gar explains with a simple shrug of his shoulders.
"No, we are not doing the fucking… but I would not be opposed." Kori practically purred before she winked at Bruce.
"Kori!" Leroy yelled causing Kori and Wally to bust out laughing.
"Always into the older men. When will you learn?" Wally snickered wrapping his arm around Kori's chair before earning a slap to the back of the head from Bruce.
"Kor, don't even joke about shit like that its disgusting." Vic growled in annoyance and causing his sister to roll her gorgeous emerald eyes.
"Will you take the pill of chilling… it was just a joke." Kori huffed. "So, Wally what have you have been up to since I have seen you last?" Kori questioned in a bubbly tone clearly ecstatic to hear what the man next to her has been doing since they have last spoken.
"Nothing much, literally just editing the book, it should be on the shelves by October." Wally reveals quietly as if he doesn't want to tell her much about the film.
"Wally, get excited this is your first book that you have written. What's it about?" Karen asks as she takes a bite of her food.
"Oh, Karen it is just wonderful! He made it about…." Kori started only to be interrupted.
"Uh Kori… I kinda lied to you when I told you what the book is about. The book is a biography…." Wally swallows as he rubs the back of his neck nervously.
"Wally you didn't. You're an idiot." Rachael growled.
"I do not understand." Kori mumbles a look of confusion on her beautiful face.
"The Gypsy" is about you" Wally revealed making Kori suck in a sharp breath.
"What?" Kori questions in a quiet whisper.
"You've really inspired me… I mean you are this amazing woman who helps so many people without asking for anything in return. Everyone deserves to know the good you do, even though you were forced to see the bad." Wally tells her grabbing her hand.
"But what about…" Kori starts but Wally cuts her off.
"Nothing about any of that! Just life living in Tamaran, getting adopted, then how life is now. I would never betray your trust and go that far." Wally tells her kissing her cheek.
Just fucking great. Wally, is in on the secrets to….
"Well I am glad that I could be your muse." Kori spoke smiling sweetly.
"You guys seem to be close." Vic murmured looking strangely at the two.
"I know what you are thinking, and no. Wally and I have not done the screwing." Kori speaks so nonchalantly as if her own comment doesn't faze her. "I swear you think I am screwing everyone. I do have better judgement than that."
"Its not your judgement I'm worried about, Kori. Its them men I don't trust. I mean you hang out with Dick, and he's the biggest man whore on the planet!" Vic argued.
"Hey! I'm not a man whore." I mumbled making the beauty next to me giggle.
"Sorry, ex man whore." Vic corrected himself with a roll of his eyes.
"Thanks for clearing that up." I sighed as the smell of burning flesh hit my nose and the temperature in the room drop 20 degrees.
"Oh god, dudes what is that rank smell?" Gar questioned his hands covering his nose and mouth.
"Holy shit, I can see your breath." Rachael said as her own breath could be seen.
It wasn't long before the lights start to flicker and make an intense buzzing that made everyone cover their ears in pain and caused Silkie to bark and growl.
"Bruce, what the fuck is going on?" I yelled over the loud, intense buzzing.
"Stop it." I heard Kori growl next to me. Whatever she was talking to did not seem to like her tone for the buzzing turned into an unbearable screeching sound. The screech was so loud it honestly felt my ears were going to bleed.
What in the world….
"Stop it, Now!" Kori yelled over the noise as she looked past Bruce to well… Nothing. Suddenly the house was taken over by silence. Kori, was now glaring at something that seemed to be right in front of her at the table. All was quiet for a few moments until every bulb in the chandelier above us seemed to blow up causing everyone to jump and scream. The smell of burning flesh and the freezing temperature seemed to vanish from the room as quickly as it came.
Karen was the first to speak in a pure state of awe as she just seemed to chuckle away. "I'm so gonna love being apart of this family."
