Hey, guys. Thanks for reviewing so quickly. Here is my next Chapter I hope you enjoy it. Please keep reviewing. =]
Nicholas POV
The others all woke quickly after Solange did. They all seemed exceptionally wary; I guess they were just imagining what would happen when we got home. To be honest I think I'd be lucky is Lucy just beat me up and had done with it. But if I know Lucy she won't just make one move on me out of anger and be done with it. No, she'll have something planed I'm sure of it.
"Nicholas" Quinn's voice came from behind me. I turned. Only to find him closer than I expected, I staggered back slightly only to be tackled by all 6ix of my brothers all crushing my in one giant bear hug.
"What" gasp "the" gasp- then remembering Aunt Hyacinth's rules on swearing in front of "Ladies"- "Chuff" they all laughed and put me down so I was a heap on the floor gasping for hair like some deranged duck.
"Well" Logan said grinning "we just wanted to show how much were all going to miss you" he was holding a very confused Isabeau's hand.
"Huh" was all I could respond.
"Yup" Quinn said jumping next to me "You know..." he said smirking. I had no idea how they trying to wind me up all that I knew was that it working incredibly well.
"No, I DONT KNOW" I yelled. Mom glared at me. But for the first time in my life I barely noticed her steely eyes on me.
Sebastian, was the first one (surprisingly enough) to talk after my slight outburst "What they mean Nick is we're all going to miss you once Lucy's killed you" he said calmly. This was obviously to much for my brothers to handle as now everyone of them were on the laughing in a fit og laughter clutching their sides like they were afraid they'd burst.
Dad and Solange both came up to me putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry" Dad said reassuringly "I'm sure she'll be let out quietly enough". And then my own mother being the caring and loveable person she is joined my brothers on the floor hysterically giggling. "Helena" he chided but it was plain in his eyes that he was having a hard time keeping a straight face.
"Right" my mother said after she was finally able to manage dragging herself up off the floor "Let's get going" she ordered. And I may not have heard right but under her breath I swear I heard her say "Why put off the inevitable" Don't I having a very loving and understanding family?
When we got to the front door after what seemed like a millennium my whole family stopped. The house was deathly quiet. I think maybe even my mom; Helena Drake was slightly scared about what will happen when Lucy is finally let out of the closet.
I swallowed my fear. And opened the door and me and my family raced up to the closet were Lucy was being kept. The door was still locked but there was something different I could still hear a heartbeat but the smell. It was different. And suddenly all my fear came flooding back, I stood back. And yes I know it was cowardly but I got Solange to open the door by pushing her forward towards the closet to the huge amount of amusement to my brother. But I knew Lucy would never hurt Solange. "What" I hissed "Would you open the door?" I asked my eyebrows shooting up. The answerer was clear in their eyes. No. They definitely would not.
Taking a deep breath Solange opened the door. I don't think anyone was prepared for the shock that came when the closet door opened. I small orange fluffy kitten with brown eyes was looking slightly angry and was attacking Solange's show.
There was a piece of paper folded up in the closet. Connor went over and picked it up and read it aloud to the rest of us his voice shaking slightly "Hello Drakes. I'm glad you've found my little surprise. I hope you take good care of Lucky; being turned into a kitten wasn't really her voice choice. I think she was hoping for a pit-bull" we were all silent so Connor continued after taking up a deep breath "I'm sure she'll fill you in once she's human again. And the only way that will happen is if each Drake son completes a task. Each task will appear at dawn in this same closet. If each task is not completed I sincerely hope you like cats. Take care L" Connor finished.
Suddenly I am being given a hard slap around the head by my mom and Solange. "Ow" I muttered, however knowing full well I deserved it.
"Well" Dad said sighing "I guess we'll just have to wait till the first task appears" shaking his head he picked up Lucy and scratched her behind the ear. My Dad had always had a bit of a soft spot for cats so I guess he and Lucy were going to be spending a lot of time with each other this next week.
