Chapter 47
It was night by the time they reached they reached their destination and Stork was none too pleased with that. To ease his suffering, Aerrow suggested that they stay the night on the Condor and leave the City until the morning.
Blinx felt the same way. She didn't want to be traipsing through unknown territory like she had when she'd been with her sister. The thought of Cyclonis made her wonder what was happening with her right now, and if she missed her, like she found herself doing from time to time. She wondered what she'd been like when they were little. She wondered if she could deter her sister from taking over The Atmos.
She'd wandered from her room in some random direction and found herself outside Storks room. She knew due to the large 'Keep Out' sign that he'd plastered on the door…probably for her benefit.
She didn't want to go. She wanted answers and figured he was the better one to talk to of the bunch. She knocked continuously and wasn't surprised when she finally heard his reluctant groan.
The door slid open.
"What do you want?" he hissed lowly.
"I wanna talk"
"Now?!"
"Better time than ever. I don't want anyone else hearing" she returned.
Stork growled "If I were to close this door, would you go away anytime soon?"
"No. And I would wake up the others just to get inside"
Stork glared at her for a moment before grudgingly stepping aside to allow her entrance.
'So much for one off' she thought to herself with a small giggle.
"If you were as tired as me, you wouldn't be giggling" he drawled with a yawn. She stifled her own as she reacted to his.
"So what was so important that you had to enter my dismal abode?" he questioned, arms folded and looking expectant. She raised a brow at his use of the words "dismal abode"
"When did Piper find out about her own powers?"
"That's what you wanted to talk about? You could've just asked Piper tomorrow" he snapped at her.
'He's so cute when he's testy. Wait, what?' she shook those thoughts from her head.
"No, there's more I want to ask. I just wanna have all the facts" she returned.
His brows dipped low as he huffed "Fine you want all the details; I'll give you all the details!" he spat.
'Maybe this could've waited until morning…'
