SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 21

CHAPTER 21

Glancing down at my watch I see it is only six fifteen I give myself a little pat on the back for being so fast. I worried my birth parents would be in the dining room for a moment but then I decide if they are I will deal with it and go on about my day. I mean I am going to have to face them sooner or later. But when I step in the dining room the first thing I notice is the only person in the room is Lisa the second thing I see is food. I mean a lot of food. It appears as if there is an assortment of almost anything you could want to eat. As I’m gazing at all of it my stomach lets out a loud grumble informing me it is in need of nourishments. I almost run to the table. Yes I am a pig I know this and I’m alright with it.  

“Hey” I say as I take a seat at the table.

“Hey” Lisa says back as she takes bite of her food.

“So where’s everybody at?” I question as I fill my plate with everything I see.

“Cain and Case went with your parents into town. They have to meet with the council over something.”

 I didn't comment on Lisa calling the king and queen my parents.  That is something I’m going to have to get used to. “What kind of council?” I ask her as I load both bacon and sausage to my already over flowing plate.

“The Angles council" she replies as she stars at my plate hard. “Are you really going to eat all of that?” she finally questions.

“Yes I’m going to eat it all. Why else would I get it if I’m not going to eat it I mean… Duh” I tell her deciding not to question her about what the hell an Angel council is. I’m ready to eat, save talking for later.

“My god…how the fuck do you stay so small when you eat like a pig?” she asks shaking her head as she wrinkles her face towards me as she watches me stuffing my face.

I have to choke down the food in my mouth before I can speak. “Hey don’t be hating on me because I have a fast metabolism that’s just wrong.” With that said I take a huge bite off of my blueberry muffin giving her the stink eye the whole time.

“Oh my god you are going to drive me crazy.” She states rolling her eyes.

In return I open my mouth showing her the food inside my mouth. Then I almost choke to death laughing when she starts yelling at me about being gross.  After we both get done eating, Lisa takes me down to the gym I gaze around seeing all kinds of shit. I’m assuming its different types of weapons. As I’m examining the weapons some of which looks like they come straight out of the stone ages while others appear to have come right from a star war's movie.

“Let’s get started” Lisa tells me picking up one of the star wars looking weapons.

“This is called a Whoops here hold it and see what you think.”

I take the Whoops weapon scrutinizes the details of it. The top part looks like a fishing net but when you touch it, it feels like a giant spider web. The pole on it is made of some type of wood but I’m not sure what kind as I’ve never seen wood that looks like it before. I see a trigger on the end of the wood but I have no idea what it does. “What’s this used for?” I question. Lisa take the Whoops out of my hands grabbing the end of the handle she slings it around in circlesabove her head, while jumping in the air. She looks totally crazy, as she does this making me bust out in laughter. I am laughing so hard I worry I might piss my pants.

“Hey pay attention and stop laughing, or I’ll use this on you.” Lisa scolds.  I do my best to stop laughing trying to put on my serious face having little doubt in my mind that she really would use the thing on me. Evidently, my face must have passed muster with her because she begins explaining what the Whoops does again. “This is what's used to catch fairies it’s the one thing that can catch them. The only way they get out of this is if we let them out. I'll tell you about all the release crap later right now I want you to learn what everything is called and what it’s used for.”  She then puts the Whoops down and picks up a long stick that comes to a point on one end and the other end, appears to be some kind of sword.

“This is a stake. We use this if we have to kill vampires. I'm sure you noticed that on one end, it’s a stake and the other end it’s a sword. We hold the stake in the middle as we use it.” She gives me the stake as she continues talking about how to use it, she really does sound like a teacher. “A vampire is only staked if they killed or are in the process of killing someone, or if they try to kill you. The sword on the other end can be used as a stake as well unlike in the movies you can kill a vamp with anything that you can hit their hearts with.

I’m holding the stake thinking how fucking awesome it would be to be like buffy the vampire slayer. I was picturing myself fighting vampires as I staked their vampire asses when I heard Lisa yelling “Awe-Shit.” Next thing I know I am in the middle of a dark street with no idea how I had gotten here. This must be the Awe-shit Lisa was yelling about. Looking around I try to figure out where I’m at plus how the hell I got here and how I am supposed to get back. I see someone standing under a street light so I start walking toward them as I grow closer I see it’s a man.
