We pulled up to a small white house. The house must have had at most 2 bedrooms, and I wondered if Caitlyn lived alone, on th papers it shows that her parents had died over 10 years ago, 6 years before she was sent to an Edison Group 'crazy' house. We sat in the drive way for a few moments, waiting for aunt Lauren to pull up behind us with Tori. Dalton seem really nervous, and Derek kept throwing him worried glances.
"Is everyone ready?" Kit asked us, him and Simon were going to go in first, do a few quick introductions, explain the basics of why we were her, and based on her reaction, we would all go up and introduce ourselves, and then ask her a few questions about herself, and she would ask us a few questions as well. We would then tell her the options she had. The options were she could either come with us, find one of the few safe houses in Canada, or just stay and do nothing if she didn't believe us.
There were only a few people who didn't believe us. Those were the kids that still lived with their parents and their parents kicked us out as soon as they heard us talk.
As Kit and Simon walked up to the house Derek turned around in his seat to look at Dalton.
"You ok? You've been worrying all night, what's up?" Derek asked, Dalton just shook his head.
"I don't even know, dude. I just have this weird feeling.. Like something BIG is about to happen.. And I don't know if it's good or bad..." he looked out the window sadly. Derek reached back and patted Dalton on the arm.
"It'll be ok, don't worry" Dalton looked at Derek and shook his head. I looked at Sam, he was worrying about his brother... We all could tell.. Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye... Sam and Cleo were holding hands! I looked up to see Cleo look at me and blush, she noticed that I saw. I smiled at her, happy that they finally realized.
"Hey, guys. Kit is motioning us to go in." Sam said, startling me and Cleo. We both chuckled at ourselves.
We all piled out of the van, trudging up the driveway after aunt Lauren and Tori, Tori looking behind us and winking at Dalton. She liked him... but he was not interested at all.
"Caitlyn, this is Lauren Fellows. She's a doctor who used to work for the Edison Group. Behind her is Chloe, Derek, Cleo, Tori, Dalton and Sam." Kit told her, looking at her the whole time to gauge her reaction.
"Hello, I'm Caitlyn... as you probably all know.." She said, blushing. She must be really shy, "Why don't you all come inside? We can talk better there, without you all standing on my front porch.."
She moved out of the way to let us all in, and we all piled into a small living room, with one small couch and two mis-matching chairs.
"Sorry it's so small, I can't really afford anything bigger..." She mumbled, obviously embarrassed, "Why don't you all have a seat. Can I get anyone a glass of water?"
We all shook our heads and said no as we sat down. Kit and aunt Lauren stayed standing while Dalton, Sam, Tori and Cleo squished onto the couch, Derek sat on one of the chairs while Caitlyn occupied the other, I was left to sit on Derek's lap. Not like I was complaining, but I didn't want to seem rude and dis-respectful.
"So... What are you guys? I mean what kind of 'supernaturals' are you?" She asked, then suddenly looked down ashamed, "That is, if you don't mind telling me.. I don't want to be rude.."
"No, it's ok," Kit said and smiled at her, "It's fine to be curious, as you already know, me and Simon are both sorcerers."
"I'm a witch!" Tori exclaimed with a smile. Lately she has been really nice and super sweet. But she still has a bitchy side.
"Me too!" Cleo said, then grabbed hold of Tori's hand.
"Me and Sam are both sorcerers as well," Dalton laughed, most likely because of Cleo and Tori's excitement.
"What about you guys?" Caitlyn looked at me and Derek with questioning looks.
"I'm a werewolf" Derek said, and Caitlyn looked shocked.
"Wow.. and actual werewolf.." she muttered.
"And I'm just like you.. a necromancer." Now she looked even more shocked. Suddenly she ran up and hugged me, and it almost seemed like she was holding back sobs.
"I don't feel so alone anymore!" she sighed, then chuckled. I smiled at her, and really took a look at her. She had long brown hair, it went almost down to her but, and it had natural looking highlights, like she spent a lot of time out in the sun. She was short, but not as short as Cleo. She was an inch or two taller. She has blue eyes, but her one eye had a mix of green in it. It looked weird, but not freakishly weird, it was an interesting weird.. She wasn't slender, but she wasn't huge. She has muscle, like she works hard.
She pulled back and apologized for the sudden outburst. I chuckled and looked around the room. I noticed Dalton was staring at Caitlyn, and nothing else. I poked Derek and nodded my head towards him, he looked at me quizzically then noticed what I was nodding at.
He just shook his head and laughed, causing everyone to look at him (except Dalton, of course) and he just waved them off..
Well... this will be an interesting night...
