#Chapter57Day Out-02Sam and Adonis laughed at us as we all began settling in. I wasn't too keen on going into the water. It looked great but I just wasn't ready to go in. I changed nonetheless, deciding to just relax under the shade of a tree and read a book."Hey Cat, you want some sunscreen?" Brooke asked.I raised a brow looking at her, completely puzzled about what she had just asked me."Uh Brooke do you do notice the colour of my skin right," I said, trying to hold back my laugh as realization hit and her cheeks turned red.Merlin, on the other hand, exercised no restraint and barked out a loud laugh at Brooke's expense. Then, she turned to him with a fire in her eyes as she threw the bottle of sunscreen in his face and stormed off. "I'd stop laughing and go after her if I were you," Eric told him."Nah she's good, she'll calm down in a sec." Merlin dismissed the advice."Ha, you obviously don't know your mate. Trust me, dude, if you ever want to have
#Chapter58Day Out-03His reaction to what I said was something I definitely wasn't expecting. He laughed! And I mean big laugh like belly aching rolling on the floor kind of laugh. I sat there looking at him speechless as tears flowed from his eyes and his laughter rang through the air, and though he was laughing at me, I have to admit his laughter sounded heavenly I could listen to it all day."Why are you laughing?" I asked after some time."I'm laugh sorry laugh I laugh just laugh wasn't laugh expecting laugh that laugh to laugh be laugh your laugh reason," he said. Pulling himself together, he cleared his throat and then said,"I'm sorry I just I haven't laughed that hard in centuries. Anyway as I was saying I didn't think that was your reason I honestly thought you hated me I even went to your dad and asked him to send someone else as your trainer when you guys go back," he said with a sad look in his eye."I could never hate you Dre, actually I think it would
#Chapter59Going Back-01 ALANA'S POVI looked around the spacious, elegant room I spent the last two months in, feelings of the reminiscing present. I thought back to all the moments' Lucy and I shared here; The days when my friends and I would stay couped up here for hours, watching movie marathons and teasing each other, especially Cat. The laughter, joy and happiness we experienced were the best summer ever, but now I have this nerve-racking feeling and can't shake it."Babe, could you pick something out for me to wear?" Lucy called from the bathroom."Ok," I replied, getting up from the bed where I sat.Opening her suitcase, I carefully go through it to find something for her to wear. I pulled out some jeans, a black blouse with 'no days off' written on it, and some undergarments. I closed it, then went to another bag with her shoes and grabbed a pair of white Converse shoes. As soon I zipped up the bag, the bathroom door opened and out walked Lucy with a towel wra
#Chapter60Going Back-02Life wasn't easy for Adonis when he first found Sam since he lost his entire family in the war. Plus, he hadn't come into his power as yet, so he was challenged by many in hell and on earth for his right as Sam's mate. Then after he proved himself countless times and grew into his power, he was being hunted due to the fact that he was the last fire elemental of his tribe who had been known for their ability to channel their ancestors' power.These and a lot more things cause great strains on their relationship, and even at one point, they decided it would be best if they broke their bond. That's when Lilith and I stepped in to give them a little guidance back to the right path. If most human couples went through one quart of the things they have, they would've broken up twenty lifetimes over, which is why I'm so proud of them. The values they uphold despite all the odds.But as much as I love them both, I really do, Sam can be pretty oblivious sometim
#Chapter61Going Back-03Cat and I barked out a laugh as soon as he was gone. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that this man is actually the scary man I saw in that room the day we met with Archangel Micheal. That day is one I'll never forget."Anyways, let's finish packing, I don't want everyone waiting on me when it's time to leave." Cat said.I reluctantly let go of her so we could continue working. A small smile found its way to my lips as I stole glances at her whilst folding the clothes. I still find this hard to believe. I never once in all my life thought the day would come when I'd meet someone who would accept me for who I am, the good, the bad and the ugly. After Emelia was taken from me, I never thought I'd be interested in anyone again. And though I've been with many women, some with wonderful characters and others not so much, I have never felt for them the way I do with Cat. I wouldn't say it's love because let's be honest, I don't think I'm capable of l
#Chapter62Going Back Pt 2-01 HARLEQUIN'S POVHomeThis can be described as many things.For some, it's where the heart is. Some define it as a place where one lives permanently, especially as a family member or household member. For me, it's people. My friends, my family, and most of all, my mate. A home is supposed to be happy, but right now, mine is complete. Despite all the shit we've been through a few months ago, I can honestly say we've all found happiness, and the credit for this goes to none other than Cat.Although the odds had been stocked against her since birth, she has been the one to bring joy to all our lives. After all, she is the reason all of us are best friends. She's the glue that binds us together. Even during the course of the summer, when she was dealing with the fact that her mom was killed the day she was born, Noah rejecting her and having to learn control of the incredible powers she possessed, she still managed to be there, solving our prob
#Chapter63Going Back Pt 2-02"But I thought you said it was what your mom wanted, not you?""I lied." she shouted."I lied ok? I lied because I didn't want to face the fact that my dream was gone." by now, tears had begun to flow from her eyes.I wanted to go to hug her and comfort her the way she'd always done for us, but this was her and Lucy's moment."Why didn't you just tell me?" Lucy said, wiping the tears from Lana's eyes, but she pulled away."Because if I did, then I'd have to admit that I'm sacred." Lana said in a soft voice, almost a whisper."Scared of what?""Scared that I'd fail, scared that after all the studying and training, I still wouldn't be good enough. Scared that I'd have to choose between you and my dream, that I'd have to choose between my dream and my friends.""Oh Lana, I'm so sorry, I know how hard this is for you and I already know all these things.""How?""Because Cat told me, that's why you hadn't seen me all day saturd

Who's the ass hat who decided to try and ruin my hearing with a bull horn." I complained."That would be me," the evil man I call father said proudly."Wha- dad? What are you doing here and did you really have to wake us with a bull horn?""Oh come now honey, you didn't think I'd miss my baby girl's first day of senior year now, would i?""Ok, that part I understand. but I still don't see the need for a bull horn and it's four in the morning," I said, looking over at the clock in bewilderment.Why do these people hate?"Well, I thought I'd do something special you know, wake you up in style.""And you couldn't come up with a better idea?" "Well it was either this or I scream
