Callie stepped out of the shower to find clean clothes waiting for her. 'Boy was this house eerie' She thought getting dressed. She looked in the mirror again, thankful that her eye wasn't to swollen. Darius had been yelling at his father and growling at her. She exited her room to see Nalla and Halo talking down the hallway. She grinned to herself and headed off in the opposite direction, heading to the kitchen. She quickly got out of the way as three young kids went running passed.
"I'll get you. You stupid Lesser!" One of the boys called to the other two. He stopped short when he seen her. He looked up at her grinning. "Are you Uncle Darius' SHELLAN?" He asked her shyly.
She smiled at him and knelt down. "I'm afraid I don't know what SHELLAN means." She told him.
He stared at her eyes. "Can you see? Are you like Grandfather?" He asked, staring still.
The other two boys came over to. "Course she's not blind. She's not old!" The blonder of the three scowled at the younger one.
Callie smiled at them. "Actually he's right. I was born blind." She told him. "But I'll tell you three a secret." She said motioning them closer. "I see with magicks." She whispered.
The younger twos' eyes opened wide with shock, while the younger one looked skeptical. Callie nodded to behind them, where a water fountain was mounted on to the wall. The water started to flow up. All three were shocked. Callie winked at them.
"Uncle Darius! Look at the water it's going the wrong way!" The youngest one shouted.
"Wow! Are you doing that? Stop before you freak out your mother!" He stated.
"It's not me. It's your SHELLAN! Did you know she had Magicks?" He asked.
"Matter of fact I did." Darius told him.
"How come she doesn't know what SHELLAN means?" The quieter one asked, frowning.
"She's not familiar with our language." Darius told them. "Why don't you go off and play."
"Okay. Bye!" They yelled running off.
"Shellan?"
"Mate... I guess in your world. Wife would be the better term." Darius said, smiling ruefully.
Callie smiled back. "Mate works to in my world." She answered. As they headed into the dining room. Darius pulled out a chair for her. "Thank you." she said sitting down.
He joined her on her left. As he was sitting down a tall brunette woman entered. He grinned and stood up again. He hugged the woman and kissed her on the cheek. "Sierra I would like you to meet Callista Hunter." He said introducing us. Callie stood up, shaking hands with the woman. "Sierra is my eldest sister." He told her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Callista. Nalla also talks of you fondly." Sierra said,
smiling, showing the tips of her fangs.
"It's mutual Nalla is awesome." She replied. "It was nice to meet you aswell." She said, as they sat down again.
Sierra sat to her right. A rather large male entered the room with the three boys from earlier.
He came over and leaned down to talk to Sierra softly. Sierra nodded and kissed him. "Des. I want you to meet Callista Hunter... the witch everyone has been talking about." Sierra said. "Callista this is my HELLREN."
"Callista." He said offering his hand. She shook his hand. "I see you have this place in a uproar."
"And she wasn't even trying." Halo said taking a seat across from them. He winked at the three boys beside him. "Hey is this seat taken?" He asked them. They all looked at him, shaking their heads.
Des. took the seat beside Sierra. "Sorry language barrier. Hellren?" She asked Sierra, looking apologetic.
"Oh sorry. It means Husband." Sierra explained. As everyone sat down and food was brought out.
It didn't take long for the three boys across from her to start begging for more tricks.
"Boys you are being very rude to our guest." Sierra scowled.
"Yes listen to your MAHMEN." Des. said winking at them. "So have you always been a witch?"
"Des!" Sierra exclaimed shocked. "I'm sorry for his rudeness, now I know where the kids get it from." She told Callie.
Callie laughed. "No worries." She answered, lifting four strawberries into the air with her mind and started juggling them as the three boys clapped. She passed a cherry to the youngest. "Feel free to throw that in any time." She told him.
He looked at her for a moment before looking at his mom guiltily. He tossed the cherry in with the others and clapped as it was being juggled amoung them. "Wow can I try!" One of his brothers asked.
"Sure." Callie replied, turning to their dad. "In my family you are born one. It's passed through my Moms' side of the Family. It also means we have a lot of wierdos in the family tree." She answered grinning as one of them tossed another cherry and an apple into the juggling. She didn't even glance over at them. "My Aunt handcuffed herself to a fence in protest once." She added. She laughed along with Hhorror and Des. That was when she noticed Chaos, Zsadist, Bella or Nalla weren't at the table. She frowned as she looked around. She leaned towards Darius. "Nalla okay?" She said very quietly.
"She's okay. Shaken up, but doing okay." Darius answered.
Callie nodded as she set the fruit back on to the table. The three boys clapped. The meal was over shortly after and Sierra took the boys home while Des. stayed for the meeting.
Wrath stood up and headed towards the door. "I expect you downstairs in ten." He told them,
over his shoulder. "Oh and Darius. Bring along your witch." He said as he disappeared through the door.
