Chap 23
The week passed with little to no activity. I finished my project bike, and hid it away from prying eyes, and the shop/bar/club was pulling in the profit. Whatever was left after the employment pay was done and there was nothing that the place needed the rest went to charity and things like that. It was all given under an anonymous donation. I didn't want to be known so I wasn't. I was barely seen around and in the shop, so I was very difficult to find, even on the best of days. The news was now screaming my Aunts drive to find us. I knew it was because I was going to be nineteen in a few days now, and she wanted me gone before that happened. My brothers loved it with Matt. I think he was a big old softie, but he would never admit it out loud. I took them all out to dinner one night, and they were happy as clams. I asked them about their exercises, and they made effaces but told me they were keeping up to it. Elisa hadn't told Matt of my abilities yet, she said I had too. I wasn't going to tell anyone else unless it was matter of life and death. In this case death would come for Matt if I told him, so I didn't tell him.
Talon's clan occasionally dropped by to see how things were going, and Maggie and I, we were almost sisters. She wasn't that much older than I was, so we were very good friends. She knew about my crush on Brooklyn, and every time she mentioned his name she would say something to make me blush or at least get a rise out of me. She seemed to think it was funny when that happened. She knew my abilities, and I delighted in being a dog or puppy and giving her canine kisses. She would rant about it, but she would be laughing as she did, so it was all just fine. I hadn't met fang, nor seen him, but claw and talon were around and we became friends. Claw I found, never said anything. He didn't even give voice to laughter. He and talon didn't know what I could do, so I left it that way. Elisa was almost my sister as well. Despite her misgivings about my taking back my company in a few days she would stand by my side, and so would the whole NYPD along with various other stations around the states. I was not looking forward to what I had to do. She would have to face the family's justice, not the laws, and I had to be the one who dealt the punishment.
During the nights now, I was either at my shop or sleeping. I didn't see much of the clan now, and whenever I did, it just made it that much more painful. Lex had begun his own project now, and he was at the shop now nightly it seemed. I didn't mid. We stayed out of each others way and got on with it. However, I couldn't forget Brooklyn. He was plaguing my thought now daily, nightly, and I received now rest for him. I knew he didn't love me, and here I was so hung up abut him, and I just couldn't understand why.
It would be in three days that I would be nineteen and my Aunt was going ballistic. She hadn't though to look in New York; she assumed I'd be somewhere that I enjoyed. Artemis was on the lookout now constantly, and he and Elisa kept in touch regularly. If there was anywhere I would be safe here in this world, it was here in New York. The clan and I: my brothers included, we edgy as hell now. We were restless, because everything our instincts were telling us: was to run and run fast, and lay low. It couldn't be done. I had to face her eventually and I would do it on my turf. Dracon was as venomous as ever, and when he came looking for me, I just disappeared into my secret shop part, and waited.
I hated waiting.
