Chapter 296: Reconnection {1}

ME: Remember the Juneau family?

I typed, my heart racing as I did, I never realized how curious I was about this until now, it got me tense and my head was loud with several thoughts.

DACE: Yes

I gulped as I went on.

ME: They were supernaturals right?

DACE: Yeah, but why are we talking about this right now?

I paused, biting my bottom lips.

DACE: What got your cute little attention this time, at least this is better than it being Grayson

I was forced to roll my eyes now and for some reason my unsettled nerves reduced.

ME: I’m just curious I promise. What kind of supernatural were they?

He began tying and I have never felt itching anticipation like this before to the point my legs felt like giving out and my palms were shaky. I was eager for a response, why does it seem like his typing was slow right now or was it just me?

"Hey Emma, we will be leaving soon"

"Okay," I said back to my mom and that was when my phone chimed and quickly checked it.

DACE: Banshees if I remember correctly

"Banshees," I said under my breath, I have heard of that name on several occasions when I read some fantasy books but right now in the real world even back at Nightschool library there was nothing about it, I knew for a fact that it was because they were extinct but Hayden was the only living legacy of that family.

"These shoes are a mess" Hayden stepped out of her room.

"Let’s get that worked on" My mom walked towards her.

And I just kept my eyes focused on Hayden. She’s a banshee... what I knew about them from my readings were they were creatures closer to death, that was the only thing I knew when reading a book, nothing else other than that.

Hayden was a newfound mystery to me.

I hurriedly did my hair in front of the mirror, before adjusting my clothes, I was in a thick wine-red sweater and a short black skirt that was above my knees but I wore dark net leggings along with ankle-length shoes. And a jacket on top of my sweater.

"Wow you look good"

I turned to my mom the moment she approached me and smiled, she looked more beautiful in her navy blue trousers suit, and heels.

"Thanks, you too"

"Great now let’s get going, Grayson?"

"I will meet him there don’t worry"

"Good because he’s the one I trust you with tonight"

I nodded in understanding.

"Emma" she began in a profound tone and I drifted my eyes to her, there was a shift in her mood and it got me wondering.

"I know we haven’t exactly talked about it ever since you came back"

"Talk about what?"

"About Dace"

I stilled, just hearing his name caused sinful things to my body. Now is not the time Emma!

"About your relationship with him..." she paused. "Are you happy not being with him right now?"

I just stared into her green eyes which were identical to mine.

"I’m not," I conceded.

She nods in understanding.

"I don’t get to be with him because of our differences and it’s not fair, I want to be with him every day, I want him to meet you mom, is that too much to ask?"

She forced a smile. "He’s a 150-year-old ancient creature who turns into a werelion, yeah sure, I should go ahead and let my daughter date such a guy"

I rolled my eyes as she trailed off with her words. "He’s basically a teen mom, the same age as me he just ages fast and they live really long"

"Hmm I see that is not less weird at all"

"Is it weirder than your daughter being a half-witch?"

She opened her mouth to speak but her words hung in her throat.

"You know what sweetie"

"Hmm?"

"We will talk about this after the party," she said, already walking to the door. Her heels clicked as she did.

"Yeah sure, great talk"

She waved me off.

I exhaled sharply.

The party was held outside in a really big environment, with lights everywhere, and hundreds of people gathered, some wearing hats that said Happy new year and it was extremely colorful. Especially when Hayden got to the big stage and started performing with her amazing voice that got the crowds roaring.

I wonder how she does it because if it was me standing on that stage I would have fainted from the number of eyes on me, I mean there were hundreds of people here and counting and she still took it like a piece of cake. I guess that’s what she does.

My phone vibrates and I check it.

GRAYSON: Where are you? It’s so crowded and I can’t find you

ME: Well you’re late!

GRAYSON: Sorry

ME: Meet me at the entrance. I’m heading there now.

As I slid my phone back into the cross bag I got a message from Dace that he was already there too.

I quickly rushed through the cluster of people, I was at the back and farthest from the main crowd so it was much easier to leave.

I took a breath of relief when I was finally away from the crowd and at the entrance where I spotted Grayson.

"Hey," he said.

"You ready?"

He nodded but I could tell he was super nervous. Well I was too. I darted my eyes behind him and found Dace leaning against a black mercedes benz.

"I didn’t know you had your car here," I said walking up to him. And he just kept his eyes on me, I noticed as they raked my body before descending back to my orbs and a chill ran through me... it felt like he was already undressing me with them and it got me blushing.

"No," he answered simply. "My dad has a mansion here... I just took one from the Garage" he said like he was no bit of a deal before placing a hand at the back of my neck and rubbing it, my body reawakens just by the simple touch and the recordings of our intimate time together flashed in my head and I blushed not meeting his eyes.

Grayson cleared his thoughts, gaining our attention.

"Shall we?"

"Hmm" Dace only made a sound he didn’t sound like he was in a good mood, for one I knew because of Grayson and because of what we were set to do, But I wasn’t turning back from this at all.

The drive to the hospital was a silent one and a fast one. We were there as we walked through it, it was just like our dream, it was really the same hospital.

"We need somewhere secluded to perform the spell," I said watching as both patients and nurse walked back and forth, though fewer.

"We should try another floor," Grayson said and I nodded in agreement.

We used the elevator to get to a particular floor that was secluded,

"Shouldn’t we like to do the spell where my mom was in delivery?"

I shook my head. "Anywhere counts, she has been here so it’s the closest place she has to you," I said, stopping as I faced him. "Okay this place is better, we are gonna do the spell together which means I need your full concentration on this"

"I have never done magic before" he was nervous now and I could tell.

"I will guide you" I smiled and he nodded... feeling at ease a little.

I darted my eyes behind him and watch Dace just standing with his hands in his pocket jeans and just watching us.

I wanted so badly to go to him right now but I resisted because I knew if I go he will have second thoughts and I don’t want that so I changed my focus to Grayson.

"Your hand"

He raised it and I grabbed it as we locked hands. "Say what I say and don’t stop and do what I do"

He nods. I closed my eyes and began saying the words slowly so that he would catch on. And Surprisingly enough he did, with a really better pronunciation than when I did my first verbal spell.

We both murmured in the alien language, it went on until I felt the surge.

"Grayson’s mom... find your way to us" I added at the end of our chant. It felt like a draft blew around us and then I felt nothing.

~

"Emma"

"Emma"

"Emma please wake up"

I flinched and then I groaned before flicking my eyes open, it was blurry but I knew someone was before me, and then my vision cleared.

"Grayson"

"Yes it’s me, thank god you’re okay" he helped me up with a gentle pull.

"What happened?" I asked not remembering anything other than after we chanted the last line of the spell.

"I don’t know, I just woke up too"

"Maybe we passed out? Dac-" I froze because he wasn’t behind. "Where’s Dace?"

"I don’t know I woke up and I didn’t see him but I notice something weird"

"W-What?"
