RECAP
--
"Our family is back together." She whispered. That's right…this was out family. OURS.
"It feels right." I said nodding in agreement.
"I don't care who I am anymore as long as I can have you." She said. Her big golden eyes hitting me full force. I reached up and stroked her long brown hair.
'I agree." I said.
"Awww. How cute." Aiden said, and Sam and him began to snicker in the doorway.
"How are you two still alive?" She asked time turning her head to look at them.
--
"So go on, tell me how you are still alive." I told them, still clinging to Damon's shirt. My Damon was back, and I was in his arms, I was with Aiden and Sam again. This was my family, this was where I was meant to be.
"That, my friend, is a very short story. Thought it seems like it shouldn't be, doesn't it?" Sam asked chuckling. I glared at him, and Aiden cleared his throat.
"I'll tell you." Aiden said.
"As long as someone does." I said shaking my head.
"Well, when we were all in the old house, like you passed out. We didn't know what was going on. The that pixie leech was screaming to get out of the house. Before we knew it the entire house was covered in fire. We were scrambling to get you out, but we couldn't see any of you anywhere. We thought that you guys were taken in by the fire. We weren't sure if we wanted to live or not. I was ready to give up and just throw myself into the flames, but Sam stopped me. Told me you wouldn't want that for us." Aiden said.
"He was right." I choked.
"Then, after a while we ended up here, not knowing what to do or where to go. Then a few days later Damon showed up on the door step. Then he told us about what happened to you. Promised us not to go looking for you he thought that you were gone forever." Sam said. And Damon squeezed me to him tighter.
"Guys you all were together here, and you left in that house of crazies?!" I yelled outraged.
"There wasn't much that I could do Rie. There were seven of them, one of me. If they wanted you they were gonna get you, even with a fight. I thought that if I got out of there, and you know lived, that there might be a way I'd see you again. Staying there and fighting was not a bright idea." Damon said.
"I know. I understand everything now." I said.
"So the band is back?" I asked.
"With restrictions." Damon said slowly.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"You're gonna have to use that lovely power of yours." Sam said.
"Which one?" I asked.
"We can't really look the same you know? We can't have the same band name, or any of that stuff. Plus if we got big again, then those other people might come after us if they recognize us. Besides they think that Aiden and Sam are dead. Too bad." Damon chuckled.
"Crap." I muttered. What if that Alice girl saw us…saw this?
"What?" Damon asked.
"That black haired one, Alice can see the future! You don't mind changing looks now do you? So that she can't see who we really are?" I asked, after all I'd never told them my powers to begin with.
"Yeah I don't mind." Damon said.
"Be kind." Sam and Aiden both said.
"I will." I muttered. I focused my thoughts on Damon first, his curly brown hair, I said it getting straighter, and changing into a light blonde, he grew a few inches, and his face became a little different not much but enough for people to be sure that it wasn't him.
Next I got Aiden, he had bright blond hair, but I darkened it a bit, not a lot though, and made him look about 23 instead of 19, that will surely throw them off. I didn't see much more I could do with him so I moved on to Sam.
Sam had long black hair, so I kept the length, knowing her liked it long, and just made it a deep reddish brown color, he looked about 25 instead of his real 20. They all seemed pleased, happy I didn't do my worst after how they left me there.
Next was myself. I wasn't sure what to do, but with all of them in their twenties, I knew I had to look older, so I made my hair jet black, had it grown out to my hips, and with a little more thought I was in my twenties.
"That was a great idea Rie! Even if we see them again, they'd never know it was us!" Aiden cheered.
"They won't know as long as you control your thoughts." I said seriously.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"Edward can hear peoples thoughts, what they are thinking, so be careful to think about anything but this, and well you know, when you're around him." I said.
"Whoa, is there any other power we should worry about?" Damon asked.
"Well Jasper can read emotions, but that is hardly threatening." I said. I was glad I had uncovered this information while I was there.
I looked over to Sam who was punching a number into the phone.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Calling for a spot at The Case, you wanna do a show right?" Has asked.
"Yeah, but they'd never book us without hearing us, besides the last open slot is tomorrow, I checked." I said sadly.
"Yup and that's going to be ours." He said.
"How?" I asked.
"Easy! Make him feel a little sorry for us, and we're in!" Sam said.
"Sam I've never loved your power more!" Aiden yelled. Yeah, Sam's ability to control emotions was great.
"But it's supposed to be crappy out tomorrow, no one will come." I said sourly. Then I looked over to Damon who was grinning, I had forgotten the could control the weather, and I could make sure the sun didn't give out appearances away. It was perfect.
"Never mind, do your thing Sammy." I said.
