Beyond Life (Book 2)

50

After the dinner Zulu and I talked. Everyone but Kevin has left.

"What is your age anyways." I asked.

"Do you want an honest answer?" Zulu asked.

"Yeah I'm really curious." I said.

"Well I am none of your business." Zulu said then laughed.

"She's 278 years old." Kevin said.

"What the fuck dude who told you that?" Zulu said.

"You are Zack's first born in 1741 with his new wife that was a Multicell." Kevin said with a big smile.

"How do you know that?" Zulu asked.

"Well that's just none of your business." Kevin said then laughed.

"And how did I not know you were Alex's cousin?" Zulu asked.

"Because your still a child that doesn't know everything." Kevin said.

"How old are you then?" Zulu asked.

"364 years old." Kevin said. Wait he said he was older than Wolf by now so does that mean Wolf was lying about his age? That's possible.

"The Black Reaper had a happy life with a Multicell?" I asked.

"Yeah but that changed after I turned 15." Zulu said a bit down.

"Alex you said you would tell me why you changed your mind about who takes care of Kevin." Nora said as she walks up to me.

"I had some kids that were Unicell's so I know how to deal with kids that change their powers while they are babies." Zulu said.

"So you do actually have children?" Nora asked.

"Yeah I get in contact with them if I want to spend some time with them but they right now have family's so their pretty busy." Zulu said.

"Your more hard working than I thought you were." Nora said.

"Yup." Zulu said. Kevin leaves. I give him a hug one more time.

"I'm getting new memories that I wasn't an only child." Kevin whispered in my ear. Then left. I don't think I needed to know that.

"Alex before you go I have something to ask." Zulu said. I looked at her. "Have you been getting letters sent to your house with no one being at the door?" She asked.

Nora and I look at each other. "Yeah I have." I said.

"Who do you think it is?" Zulu asked.

"Well look at this." I said and grabbed the note out of my pocket and showed her.

"In my world?" Zulu asked.

"Wait does that mean that we are going to the source of this?" Nora asked.

"It kinda seems like it." I said.

"Can't we just have a break from mysterious stuff?" Nora said.

"I completely understand but we gotta deal with it. Especially sense your my Girlfriend that I live with." I said.

"Come on this is your home you don't just live with me." Nora said.

"So no more saying Nora's room?" I asked.

"I never said that it was just my room you have your clothes, condoms, and other stuff in there." Nora said.

"You guys use condoms?" Zulu asked.

"Yeah why?" I asked.

"So you don't want a family?" Zulu asked.

"We are busy with other things right now." I said.

"Ok well I'll be staying here seems like you both want to leave tonight instead of tomorrow." Zulu said.

"Yes and please try not to burn anything down." I said.

"What do you mean by that?" Nora asked.

"You know what I mean." I said and went to our bedroom. Nora followed me.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"She has blue flames I kinda said it like a joke." I said. "Wait did you lose your ability to joke around at times. Or did that great trait of yours disappear forever." I said being over dramatic. She laughed.

"I didn't know you had a funny side." She said smiling.

"That's a nice smile." I said. "Nora this relation... ship is... the best." I said slightly dousing off. Why am I dousing off?

"Somethings not alright." I said.

"Well that's good to know about my power." Nora said and turned into blue flames. What the fuck?

I go to the living room. I see Nora and Zulu. "Zulu how?" I asked.

"Well you did tell me to try to control my flames. And well I can make them look like people. That's how I can protect this house." Zulu said.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

"Well my flames can be made to look like people so I can control where they go so yeah but it turns out it also sucks out the oxygen from the person near it." Zulu said. Ok then.

This time I left and Nora actually came with me. "So tonight we're leaving?" Nora asked.

"Yeah let's pack up somethings then let's tell them we're ready to go." I said.

"So what would you be bringing?" She asked.

"Well trusty knife, money, some clothes, and a blanket." I said.

"Why a blanket?" She asked.

"Well I like this blanket." I said. I showed her, her fuzzy blanket.

"Your taking my blanket with you?" She asked.

"Yeah can I not bring it with me?" I asked.

"Have you always brought it with you because every time you go somewhere without me I can't find the blanket." She said.

"Yeah I bring this blanket everywhere it smells like you so I like to sleep with it where ever I am where your not." I said.

"Where's my special blanket then?" She asked pouting.

"Which blanket do I sleep with when I am here that's your special blanket but no you take my damn hoodies so I think this is a fair trade." I said.

Nora opens her mouth. "Your not wrong." She said.

"Yeah I'm nev..." I said but got cut off by Nora.

"Your wrong sometimes don't give me that." She said.

"Sure." I said.

"How about you?" I asked.

"I'm bringing the condoms." She said.

"That's it?" I asked.

"No and some pancake mix and even maybe some of my money." She said.

"Ok well at least your not acting like a sex addict or something." I said she seem like she got a little confused. "Never mind." I said.

"Do you really think I'm addicted to sex?" She asked.

"No not really but sense you asked that question." I said.

"Stop it. I'm not." She said.

"That's what they always say." I said jokingly.

"Sure." She said then giggled a little.

After a few minutes of packing up we go up to Auden and Brie and tell them we were ready to go.
