Meanwhile downstairs unbeknownst to me. The Lovett's are warm and cozy in the sunroom already in deep conversation about me. Look Sandra says urgently we can't keep the shrade up.It's been three weeks of the same thing. She comes down suspiciously we tell her the truth and a tornado whips something away. We are going to have to do things my way. We will tell her we won a non refundable cruise for all of us to tour the Kilchurn Castle. Plus if we keep replaying time no matter the situation the patrol will take over. That's the last thing we need is Eleanor finding her interjected Jerald. We just need to get her away from civilization so we can tell her who she is. Well luckily we have Lucas to distract her and slightly disarm said Jerald I don't know why you wanted to wait this long or raise her with norms anyway.
That's ridiculous you know very well what would have happened if we stayed in the hidden cove replied Edmond. We should have stayed and fought Ellanor. Jade would have already been with our kind and not an outcast loser Sarah. She was hardly a speck in your stomach when Ellanor came to power.We had to fake the house fire in Bulgaria just to have a chance. If they knew about Jade she wouldn't have had the slightest of chances Edmond. We have all gone over this just shut up they are coming down Sandra said quietly. oh Sarah you simply must Tell me how you keep this azalea bush so lovely Sandra spoke excitedly.As Lucas and I made our way through the kitchen into the sun room. you know just a bit of tender love care and willow branch my mother giggled appearing to have been heavily indulging in Red wine. Edmond do you mind if I play a little music to help keep the mood light and airy asked Jerald.The sunroom was the same dark tan river rock as the exterior on either side. The main wall lavender and beige wooden trim with a sliding door into the kitchen. the floor was plastic fake grass leading to three full length sliding doors that opened to screen doors.Overlooking a beautiful garden we've cultivated these past 19 years. azalea's echinacea lambs ear. I should really write a book on just the plants.You remember what happened last time these two women drank together. Recalling a rather awkward event over 26 years ago. Yes please do we can't be doing all that especially in this neighborhood Edmond chuckled lightly. Unknowingly the music was for me as well as the burning of sage lavender and bay leaves in the sone mortar. Jade Honey we have some amazing news we have been invited on a cruise and a tour to the Kilchurn Castle Sarah said enthusiastically. Oh wow that sounds amazing when are you leaving? Is this really the news that needs to be kept a crazy secret? Well dear it's actually for all of us you'll be going too she clapped and smiled suspiciously. Wait what? I can't I already made plans and who will care for my plants if I leave I say defensively. Look Jade we can't just leave you here to fend for yourself all summer Edmond interjected gently. I'm nineteen!What is that supposed to mean. I'm an adult nineteen year olds move out and start schooling and careers. What am I supposed to tell Eric about the wedding? What wedding my mother shrieks clearly horrified. No mother not my wedding I was supposed to go with Eric to his sister's wedding as his date I said quietly. Well you will just have to tell him to find someone else Sarah says indifferently. I can give Courtney look after your plants I'm sure.
I can't just throw my plans and life to the wind every time you all decide it's not important I counter. Behind me three charms are being put in place. Lucas with a light calming charm. Sandra Is casting a strong binding spell. And lastly Jerald with a magic breaker field hoping I don't cause another tornado to come through the house. Edmond is eager to keep my attention off the others interjected. Look you're just growing up so fast can't we just have this last summer with our only child please. Fine I say feeling both defeated and guilty I'll go. Are we done now or do you have more plans for my life I'm unaware of I say defensively. I hear a sigh of relief behind me as the Lovett's drop there incantations. No dear that's everything my mother says trying her best to seem convincing.
I'm going to bed I inform them. Now I have to cancel all my plans. I hope Eric doesn't hate me for cancelling. So much for seeing The Wicked performance. It's 12 now and I might as well get some rest. I curl up in my purple comforter and sleep. Meanwhile Lucas and the others are down stairs. Thank God you finally said the right thing. I Thought we were never going to get her to agree said Sarah. You just need to speak to her nicer your so emotionally detached. You all really are pathetic spat Sandra . If I wouldn't have brought the tea and the reset. She would have cracked the cord to this realm. Really If she picks wrong come ritual time. I very well may dissolve you. Lucas laughed I hope she doesn't choose me she's a freak. Jerald interrupts you really don't need to piss her off it isn't her fault she's two years younger. When it was you it wasn't as hard with her she gets a spark from your power. We have to be here regardless of what she chooses. To waken on the same time line is both beautiful and dangerous. Whatever I'm going to bed now that the threat of collapse has calmed replied Lucas annoyed. The Guest room was the first across the hall from the bathroom. I'm so over this waiting game Lucas says in his head. However every step closer his own power sends an electric type current through his skin. He hurries to the guest room to get a good night's sleep. Fully aware this next year will be the wildest ride of his life. Sarah is the only one left awake by 2. With everyone asleep she lights the candle and asks her pendulum. That answers every question yes except the one that matters. Will she stay human? It only says maybe always spinning to an abrupt stop.
The next morning I awake abruptly to something small hitting my head. What the.... I am smacked in the cheek with a spit ball. Oh my God what is wrong with you seriously. You're 21 for f**k sake! You're mother told me to wake you for breakfast he says smiling childishly. It seemed creepy to just be standing overtop of you in all my glory you might get the wrong impression. Why are you still here? For your information knocking was an exceptional option because I still think your a weird creep I grumble throwing a pillow at him. It crashed into the door as he rushed to shut the door laughing. I rush to lock it before he has the chance to barge back in. Ugh how did I get stuck with him he is such a man child. I grab a brush and some fresh normal clothes. AKA my flower pattern dyed blue jeans and a yellow tank top cotton. I open my door carefully hoping the i***t Lucas has joined the others for breakfast. Thank God I hurry to the bathroom for a hot shower. I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep with makeup on. My pores are so clogged feeling.The mascara and eyeliner feel crusty against my waterline and tear ducts.
