Author's Note:

OK, so this is the second chapter. It's really short and I basically throw a name out there. This is more of a fun, happy, laughter-filled chapter and its purpose is to explain some things and lighten the mood of the story. Plus, when I wrote it I was super happy and didn't want anything bad to happen. The next chapter will be up soon I promise.

Hope you enjoy... –Evangeline

Forgetting Something

I awoke with a start; Seth was shaking my arm and telling me we were almost there.

"Had a good nap, sleepy head?" Warren asked me with an amused smirk on his face. One of his arms was wrapped around Vanessa's neck, they had started going out a month after the war for Zzyzx. Then, when Vanessa became an Eternal along with me, Warren jumped at the opportunity to be her Protector and even asked her to marry him a week after the ceremony. Now they had officially been married for about four years.

"Depends on what your definition of good is," I replied earning a confused look from Seth and Stella. The two were "secretly" holding hands as they sat next to each other in the limo. We had meet Stella when the Knights created a school/training private school for future knights called The New Dawn. Seth and I had attended and we meet Stella who had been suggested by Agad the wizard. When we heard that we were surprised, but after finding out that she was a true dragon sister and not a dragon, relying on Agad's word only, we trusted her and are confusion cleared. Now, she was another Eternal and Seth was her Protector. Everyone knew they liked each other before, but after the ceremony they seemed more open about their feelings for each other.

"What happened? Another dream meeting?" Seth asked me.

"Yes," I told him and I explained to them how the Fairy Queen wanted me to be her ambassador even though Bracken would be there.

Seth, being the annoying brother he is, totally skipped the ambassador part and went straight to the Bracken part, "O, so, BRAKEN," did he really need to magnify and exaggerate the name, "will be there?"

"Apparently." I sighed. Unlike all the others, instead of our relationship getting closer after Bracken became my Protector, it seemed to have tensed and regressed. I, for one, was completely and utterly confused and now Bracken was a sore subject for me.

"We're here," Stella chimed in her very up-beat voice. I swear, she could brighten anyone's day with just her presence, the girl oozed happiness and everyone knew it.

I looked out my window. It was almost 7 o'clock P.M. but it looked around 4 in Colorado, as we drove up to the average looking farm house of the Day Light Ranch. The ranch was owned by a Knight of the Dawn member named Albert Goodling. He and his wife took care of sick and beaten magical beings as well as provided the Knights with anything they needed. His eldest daughter, Lisa, taught a class about magical creature healing at The New Dawn.

I could see the lights and hear the music before I even got out of the car. However, I didn't have time to enjoy the scenery because we were about to be late.

"Next time," Warren gasps as we run to the doors, "We are making sure we have everything and everyone before we leave the airport." He was referring to the fact that they had to turn around because Seth had ignored me when I told him that I had left my knapsack backpack, all the Eternals and their Protectors had received one from Agad at the ceremony, on the plane. When I called them asking where they were on my cell phone, they had to turn around because they had just left the airport without even noticing I was gone. After I explained what happened, Seth said he was sorry and we all just laughed.

We entered the Grand Room right as Grandpa Sorensen was starting to begin his speech. Which meant that all eyes instantly turned to us, and I could see all our friends chuckle and my grandmothers shake their heads.

"Well, welcome. Mind telling us why you're late?" Grandpa Sorensen asked with a humorous grin on his face.

"Well," Warren answered with the utter most confidence as he tried not to laugh, "we kinda left Kendra at the airport."

"Kinda?" I declared a little shocked and trying not to laugh. "If I hadn't called you, you guys would have been half way here before you noticed I was missing."

Warren "contemplated" this for a second before he stated, "True." The room instantly filled with laughter.
