“Let her go, if Hope is there with you Jinx and her Covenant will be more agreeable,” I hear Trek grunt, but he doesn’t contradict Mom. The real reason why I want to go is that Trek and Jinx have history and I want to make sure that their history stays in the past and not ignite into something in the future.
It is clear by his stiff features that he would rather not have me with him which pains me, and has me wanting to scream at him, but I contain my anger and ignore his displeasure waiting for when we are alone to tell him what I think of his disregard for my feelings.
I will never tell him how I feel as I don’t want him to feel sorry for me and decide to leave because of my crush, but I will let him know that I am more than capable of going with him into a fight.
“Go and get ready and I will meet you outside,” he orders as he starts to turn.
“I am ready,” I reply frowning as I look down at my black flared mini skirt, tall black combat boots and leather jacket. I actually think that I am looking pretty mean today.
“You can’t go like that!” he replies with a scowl as he raises his hand, pointing his index finger at me.
“Yes I can, there is nothing wrong with what I am wearing.” I argue as I place my fists at my waist and glare at him.
“You are wearing a skirt,” he states huffing in anger.
“Really, I hadn’t noticed” I answer sarcastically.
“Hope” he says my name in exasperation, “Stop arguing, if we have to fight you can’t wear that to fight, you will be showing everything.”
His answer has my eyes opening in surprise, “You mean they will see this?” I snap my hands down to the edge of my skirt and raise it up over my waist hearing his intake of breath and Mom calling my name in warning.
He grunts as he snaps around and walks out, “What, nothing to say?” I call after him.
“You are going to give him a heart attack if you carry on,” Dream says in amusement as she looks at my tight black shorts.
“Not my fault he thought I was stupid enough to go without shorts under this skirt,” I reply.
“Behave Hope,” Dad orders as he shakes his head in annoyance, “I agree with him, it might be too dangerous at the moment for you to go with.”
“What?” I shake my head in anger and am about to answer when Mom interrupts.
“Nonsense, she can take care of herself, and he won’t let anything happen to her if danger arose.” I wink at Mom in thanks, turning I hurry out of the room before Dad says anything else and they decided that in fact I should stay back.
Reaching the courtyard Trek and four other guards are waiting for me, when he sees me, he turns to open the back door of the SUV for me to climb in. Before he closes the door, he looks in “you will do as I say when we are there, I don’t want any arguments.”
I know that he is just making sure that I am safe, therefore I nod to appease him, knowing that if for some reason I think that he is in danger there is no way that I am going to listen to him and instead I will be right there to help him.
When he closes the door and walks around the vehicle to go and sit in the passenger side, I notice that three of the guards are inthe vehicle behind us and one is driving ours. He got another werewolf, two Elves and a Dragon to accompany us. All four men I know as they are warriors in my Dad’s personal guard.
“Are you really expecting trouble?” I ask when we are well on our way.
“These days you never know what to expect,” he replies, his tone evidence that he is still angry with me, a deep rasp that sends tingling vibrations through my body.
I have more questions but as he says these days, we don’t know what to expect which also means that we don’t know who to trust. I trust Trek completely but I’m not sure about the guards that are accompanying us, therefore I spend the rest of the journey in silence gazing at the scenery.
This realm is so different from Eternity Fae, I love my home, but this realm has a beauty about it that I also love. I know that once we have found the culprit for this uprising, we will vanquish it and return to Eternity Fae. I should be pleased but something within me says that I want to stay here instead.
I know that one of the main reasons for me wanting to stay is that I know that as soon as this is all over Trek will have to take his rightful place among his people and that is here on Earth, and even though he doesn’t feel the same about me as I do him, I don’t want to be far from where he is.
“We are here!” I look around in surprise, realizing that I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t see us pulling up outside what looks like a farmhouse. I know that there will be powerful magic stopping anyone from entering without permission, soon someone will come to the gate to know why we are here before letting us proceed.
“Wait here,” Trek says as he leaves the vehicle when a young warlock approaches the gate. They talk for a few minutes before Trek is turning and making his way back towards the SUV.
“Proceed,” he orders when he is sitting safely in the passenger seat.
We start driving forward, through the gate and up the driveway towards an old farmhouse that is sitting among tall trees. If you are human that is what you will see, being fae we can see the resplendent house surrounded by resplendent Oak trees. I see Jinx appear at the door of the house, a beautiful woman in her own right. I want to scratch her eyes out in jealousy, but know that I am being petty.
“Trek, it must be dire for you to come to my door,” I hear her say as I step out of the SUV.
