Hidden Children (AL Series)

Chapter 6

Inara

  Trent and I took a fast shower that felt like I had to battle for us to get out of there before the water turned cold with how much he kept trying to have shower s*x with me. I didn’t want to have s*x though, I have too many questions to get answered and I want to find out. 

  We ate fast, well, I ate fast Trent took his time which pissed me off so I took matters into my own hands without him knowing and asked Luke where he was before standing up fast enough to send my chair back causing Trent to jump before I kissed him and told him I love him but bye. His face was priceless and I had to stop for a moment to laugh at it, I ended up crying from laughing so damn hard and now my abdomen hurts like hell.

  When I got to Luke he was in an indoor garden that I had no clue was even here, I had to ask several pack members for help to find this place. It was like a huge ass glass dome in the middle of the woods and inside was crazy, flowers everywhere, and even birds were in here. I followed the path of reddish rocks for a bit before I came to a halt when I heard Luke and what sounded like Grace fighting. I closed my eyes to listen better. Hey, call me a nosey person but it was my brother and best friend.

“Why are you being such an ass?” Grace asks.

“Honey, would you want me any other way?” Luke asks back in a very smug way.

“Yes. I would want someone who was a better fit. You know nothing can come of this.” Grace tells him.

“And why not? Because of who I am or because of who I’m not?” Grace doesn't answer making Luke growl out. “Or because of her?”

“She has a right in this too. It’s part of her life and I can’t just overtake it. She just found you, let her have her time with you.” Grace sounds so sad but Luke just growls before a sigh is released.

  After a while, I didn't hear anything so I figured I was safe to start walking again to where Luke was. Yeah um, nope I was not. I walked right into them making the f**k out. My mouth dropped wide open as my eyes bugged out of their sockets. What am I watching and why the hell is my brother kissing my best friends? 

  I let out a gasp before I could stop myself when I saw Luke’s hands start to move all over her body before one stopped to squeeze her ass cheek and lift her up so her legs could wrap around his waist while the other hand grabbed her hair bringing her closer to him. I slap my hand over my mouth but it was to late, f**k, they know I’m here now.

  Luke and Grace stop making out and turn to look at me before Grace gets out of his grip and shoves him back with a panic all over her face. 

“It’s not what it looks like.” She said with her hands up like she is surrendering to me.

“And what does it look like? Because what I saw was my big brother making out and groping my best friend and my best friend letting it happen.” I answer and raise an eyebrow while crossing my arms across my chest.

  I look from Grace to Luke who has a huge grin on his face like he has conquered the world. That is till Grace looks at him and starts to glare before one of her hands opens towards the ground and a rock flies into it before flying at Luke’s head hitting him right between his eyes making him look stunned causing me to start laughing and Grace to huff and starts to walk out when I grab her hand to stop her.

“Look, you both are adults and what you two are up to is between y'all. I just needed to ask Luke something and talk it out but since you are here then you can stay. Maybe then you can explain how you hid the fact of being a witch from me for so long.” I look her in the eyes and smile. I am not mad at her, hurt sure but not mad. 

  She nodded her head and I dragged her over to Luke who was now walking into a clearing in the dome. There were white chairs in a circle and a daybed like thing off to the right side. White rocks were lying around everywhere in the circle making you know where you could walk, talk about a stunning sight.

“Hey sister, what’s up?” Luke asks, taking a seat in one of the white chairs smiling as if nothing just happened.

“I thought we could talk about what we saw and maybe talk about something that happened when my witch came out to mark Trent.” I answer him and drag Grace with me to the two-person chair. Luke’s eyes never left her and watched every move she did. I could feel Grace was uncomfortable with it and I growled at Luke for him to stop. His eyes snapped to mine.

“You’re getting good at that growl little one. I’m proud of how fast you're learning to control it.” He smiles like a big brother who is proud of his sister for doing something hard. “Now let’s talk.” He starts to get comfortable in the chair he is in but the smile never leaves.

  Just as I was about to open my mouth to talk Sarah came skipping in with her own smile to the chair next to me taking a seat as if she didn’t just randomly come into our conversion. She looks between us all before waving her hand telling us to get on with it.

“Right so as I was about to ask, what happened when you let me into your memory? It felt so weird and how could we both be there. I saw you standing there Luke as you look now not as you did then and they spoke to us.”

“I don’t know, but I do know that we were always a force that no one can stop once we both became of age and came together. We were supposed to learn how to work together from your birth but we all know how that turned out.” Luke answers me looking confused himself as Sarah just nods her head slowly looking like she’s thinking of something.

“I might be able to help with that one.” Grace answers with a small smile on her face that’s turning red now that all three of us were looking at her. “Well, I can only tell you what I know from things my parents have taught me.” She shrugs before continuing. “I believe it's called a memory overlap spell. It is like a memory in a memory. The person or people who cast it do it knowing that it can cause problems later on. It normally is only done when it has to be.” She turns a little to look at Luke.

“I’m shocked it didn’t end up hurting you. In part, they gave you a part of who they were, part of their soul, in order to do that. It would have weakened them a great deal and for a long time, I mean they literally took a small part of their soul and gave it up, only the strongest of witches can live through that and many have died trying. From the amount of power I had to use and that it took Sarah to help keep you in it I can say that it had to have taken years of their powers away.” We all just stare at her like she’s lost her head.

“What? I am just telling you what I know. And before you ask me how I knew to come to you my parents told me to after I saw that you needed my help in a vision. You both died in it from the amount of stress it took from your bodies alone and I wanted to make sure that didn’t come true.” She says looking down at her lap.

“That’s close to me just for me my body just led me to where you were. It was like someone took over my body and while it did I found out I am not who I seem to be, I mean my name is Sarah but I’m older than twelve, I’m much older than that. I just wish I knew how old and how I came to be like this.” Sarah pipes up for the first time.
