A few hours later, Sophie rounded up her sisters and, when they were about to leave. Amelia walked over, for once in the past few hours, not near Adam.
"You know, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can always come over here." Amelia said.
Sophie looked at her closely. It seemed that the offer was genuine, so she smiled a little as she said "Sure".
Then, she and her sisters started walking down the street towards the house noticing the sun setting and the colors that came with it.
When they reached home, Sophie saw her mom sitting down at the table reading a book.
"I see you weren't kidnapped." Not even looking up from her book, she said it like she was talking about the weather. Not the possibility that her daughters were taken by some stranger.
Her accusation meeting panicked glances, as she continued with "anyone want to explain this?"
Both of her sisters pointed their hands at Sophie, neither wanting to be interrogated.
"Hi mom… I took Fiona to her friend's party…."
"And you came back with Charlotte soaked to the bone and your arm bandaged."
"Yeah…."
"You're lucky that I knew that Fiona was going to a party, I would have called the cops."
"Sorry" Charlotte spoke up, looking ashamed for once.
"You know that I was worried right." Their mom smiled at them as, they drifted off to opposite sections of the house.
Sophie chose to plop herself in a chair opposite of her mom. "How was work?" Her mom worked as an advisor/therapist to people that needed help. Depending on what she had to do on that day, the answer varied a lot.
"Normal, what's up with your arm?" Her mom never answered with normal unless she knew you were avoiding a subject with the topic of her work.
Well, I was looking over at the pool at Fiona's friends place and, a boy trying to catch a foot ball accidently ran into me and, I fell into the pool scraping my arm. Charlotte noticed the scrape, and, Amelia, Fiona's friends sister bandaged it for me which was nice of her I guess.
"I fell into a pool"
Her mom eyed her suspiciously but, was distracted by Fiona turning the music up louder-than-an-elephant-snoring as Sophie eloquently described it.
With her mom stalking over to her younger sister to tell her something around the lines of "Turn that music down or so help me I'll….." it would usually end there as their mom left it hanging, most likely to try (key word try) to cause suspense but everyone knew that she would just say "no computer for a week." The wonders of technology, it gave parents another thing to take from their kids.
Sophie made it to her door just as she heard "Turn that music.." rolling her eyes, she made it to her bed, starting to read her book from earlier wondering why the people that she meet today seemed so, familiar.
….Diana's pov…
Diana walked back to her house that was a street over from Amelia's. Not listening to her brother talk about something or another, (not paying attention to her brother more than half the time is what kept her sanity intact).
"What do you think?"
Startled, she looked at her brother, "about what" she asked warily, if her brother was going to ask her an opinion on another piece of his stupid poetry….
"Sophie" He said the girls name like it was a puzzle that needed solving.
"What about her?" Like her brother, she could sense when another recarnite was near. Sophie's was quite strong Olympian strong. Yet, there was no recognition in her eyes, no references of their past to make herself clear that she found them, nothing. It was worrying to say the least.
Whoever she is, whatever she was, for her own sake, she better remember soon.
For future reference, if it is anyone but Sophie's pov, I'll tell you, usually it'll be her though.
