Chapter Nineteen
Cal and I looked at each other at this comment. It would seem we were thinking the same thing.
Cal smirked. "You're lying!" He was totally shocked and on the brink of laughter.
"Definitely false!" I agreed with just as much amusement. I let out a laugh. "I mean," I giggled. "Him?" The laughter continued for both of us. I couldn't seem to stop that such a horrific thought.
"I know!" Cal looked at me and laughed as well. "I mean how could we be…even RELATED in the slightest! Why, I dare say we're nothing alike!"
Juniper looked at us like we were completely senile. "I'm afraid you are of the same blood." She confirmed.
Gabriel had been silent as he watched us. Then he turned to Juniper. "Hasn't your mother ever brought up a lost child Raina? A miscarriage, or some sort of lie?"
"Not at all. At least if she had, it wasn't more than a joke here and there." I replied.
Cal looked at me and suddenly stopped laughing. "So….I was the one that was forgotten?" Cal said. You could tell he was trying to maintain a smooth voice.
"I…" I didn't know what to say to that. I refretted what I had justr said. Of course he'd become defensive.
"I'm joking," He laughed. His laugh was whole and true but a small gint in his eye indicatede that he wasn't telling the whole truth either.
I looked at him a second more . Then bac mto them.
"All right . Now that you've told me one of my worst nightmares…" I began.
"Interesting choice of words Raina. I'm almost positive that you know how bad nightmares can really be. And this in comparison? I shouldn't think so myself." Gabriel said.
I stiffened. "Yes, well nightmares are rather unpleasant aren't they?"
"What about you Cal? Nightmares?"
Cal glared at him. "I don't get dreams" he said as stiffly as I. "what are you talking about?"
"Ah…I see," Gabriel replied and exchanged glanced with Juniper. He looked up at the sky and then back down at us. "well, I'm afraid it's about time to make my leave for tonight. We shall meet soon and all will be revealed. All questions shall be answered."
"But…" I was about to demand something now but then he was gone, jumping back into the woods and disappearing into the darkness.
