The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.

Greece – Marts 2015:
"No, I am not."
"There you have your answer." I say to Daen. "Now you understand."
"Yeah, I do." With that he left the building, and the team is left with true stillness, on till Zero open his big mouth with the words: "I am hungry." Most off the time I love Zero´s mouth, but this is not the case. I look at him with my evil eye. I must say I like to watch him being scared – he looks rarer uncomfortable. I smirk and laugh, that is what he gets for ruining the pure stillness.
"Angel, be nice to Zero." Zaccy says with a big smile on the face. I eye him, but shake my head to say no.
'Why? Why should I be nice to the geek?' I ask him telepathic.
'I think you will regret it, when your computer needs to be fixed, or when your ego needs a bit off help. Zero does things like that, you know.'
'Maybe you are right.'
'Off course, I am right.'
'I am glad you never doubted yourself.'
'I always doubt myself around you.'
'You are?'
'Yeah, I am, because you are something to me. Something special.'
'You know, if there were not people around I would kiss you now, right?'
'We can make the people go away…'
'I love you, you know that right?'
'I love you more.' And with that Zaccy cuts off our telepathic conservation. I miss seeing him happy, seeing him laugh… not with that I-am-protecting-myself-against-the-whole-world or I-am-shutting-the-world-out-to-protect-myself face. What happened to his I-am-happy-and-I-want-to-share-it-with-every-human-being-on-this-Earth face? Knowing he cannot hear me, I say: 'I love you most.'
On way to Denmark – Marts 2015:
The rest of the trip and flight goes in pure peace – no fights, no arguments, no nothing. It is sort of boring. Therefor I get a good idea. What? When I get bored, I get my most fun ideas…
'Sax, are you up for some fun?'
'I thought you would never ask… So what is the plan?'
'It is fairly simple. I call it get-Boss-to-flip-out game.'
'I think I understand.'
'So you start?' Sax and I look at one other and nod. Boss is sitting in total peace and reading a book about fishing. Boring…
"Boss, have you heard it?"
"No, not now. I have ready made sure that none of you have gotten any phone calls or so on. I am not in the mood for one for yours numbers. Leave now and let me read this book in peace."
"Boss is being boring…" Sax says.
"You know I can hear you, right?" Boss says. We pretend not to hear him.
"So what are we going to do now?" We look at one other and then at our work family. We smile.
"No. Sax, go sit with Zaccy, and Angel, go sit with Boss. No one is in the mood for one off yours numbers now." Zero says. We look at one other and wink as we go our separate ways. Sax goes to sit with Zaccy, and I go to sit next to Boss…. Why can we never have some fun? Our family is so rude…
Denmark – Marts 2015:
I am almost home. I smile at the thought off home. Home is where the heart is. And my heart? It is with my five children. I know five children that five children is a lot, giving that I am only 25. What happen there? Well I wish I could say love, but unfortunately I cannot say that. Life happened, but I would not take any off it back. It made, who I am today, and along the way I got five wonderful children, how mean the world to me. My children are the reason I am still alive today. There is my firstborn Jessica called Jessie. She looks just like me – blond hair and blue eyes, but her nose is her father´s. Then the twins Hikaru and Kaoru, I named them after the 'shady' twins in Ouran High School Host Club. The twins are adopted from Japan, which it the reason for their names. Then there is my little Valerie, who is spit out of her father´s nose. A last but not least Deke, he is so young and yet only the truth binds his tongue. I am very close to my childhood home and Rosé Hill. Rosé Hill always brings memories off James back. Not good memories I may add. But that is all in the past. James is dead, and I am alive. I sight. Wonder what my brothers have been up to, while I have been away? Properly nothing…
I stand outside off my childhood home, and I realise it had not changed a single bit in all the years I have lived here. Always the same: New classicistic building with rooms for all of us. The building is from the 1700-century. Each off the Pendragon siblings have their own floor with about 7-9 rooms in it, so it is a very big building. And off course our guests have their own building. I know… we are too rich for own good. Guests… I think Al said something about guests, before I left… I shake my head. Who knows? That man is mad. Al, I mean. The oldest brother: He always needs to show that he is in control off everything. I open the front door and go in. Stillness. Where is everyone? So we do have guests…
'Hi Jessie. Where are you?'
'Mother, why does it feel like you are so close, when you are so far away?'
'Maybe because I am no longer far away…'
'You are home?'
'Yes.' Then laugh fills my head.
'Stay! I am coming to get you.' I laugh. It is truly nice to be home. A minute or so passes and I see my little girl running forwards me, while screaming: "MOTHER!" I open my arm and she runs directly in to them. I have missed her so much.
"Hi beauty." I say looking at her. She is growing so big.
"Mother, I am missed you so much." This brings me to tears. I try to sweep the tears away, before Jessie sees them. I am not fast enough.
"Mother, why are you crying?"
"Because I am happy to see you, my little beauty."
"Okay, come the others are waiting for you."
"Welcome home, my lady. Let us take your luggage, so You can see Your family, my lady." Freja, one off our maids, says.
"Thank you, Freja." I say and with my oldest daughter in hand I go to see my family and this guests that we are having.
