Possession over Power

Joking About

They hugged, and with Andrea and Asher they stayed in the hug for what felt like only seconds, turned to minutes. They hear a knock at the door, "Come in" Andrea said, releasing from the hug quickly. Andrea brushed herself off as Ava went to open the door, "Come on".

"Wait, Ava, where are we going?" Andrea questioned, with Ava rolling her eyes and pulling them both outside the bedroom.

"Don't worry about it" Ava said, "We want you all to have fun so, that's what you are going to do". They were pulled outside as they were greeted by the sun along with everyone else. Being dragged into the back of the car with Rafael in the front they began to drive off.

Andrea looked confused, however Asher seemed to stay calm, "Where are we going?" she asked. "It's a surprise, we all think you need this Andrea; a break" Ryker spoke, as the drive continued with chatter and those lingering arguments.

The drive continued with lots of converse, everyone was elated and their summer was finally being enjoyed. "Ryker! I swear I am going to kill you!" Andrea yelled as she threw a bottle his way, "What? It's true you are very short yet crazy!". "Oh yea? Since when have I been the crazy one?" Andrea said as silence grew quickly, all looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Andrea, you have fought a human demon in your body, tried a power you never trained hard enough for, and have nearly died not once, but twice" Asher listed, "Are you so sure about what you said now".

Before she attempted to respond, she didn't; slumping back into her chair with an annoyed expression. "I didn't nearly die" Andrea mumbled, with everyone quickly denying her response, "Yes you were unconscious, but your heart nearly stopped twice". Andrea looked stunned, as Ryker said that tears were brought to Asher's eyes.

"Hey, Asher, I'm ok now. There is no point of holding onto the past if it doesn't matter. Because I'm healthy, and still alive" Andrea rested her hands on his, he smiled, but only faintly, "I know, and I'm happy you are".

After that, no one truly talked; a poor choice of words had spilled and memories spilled with them. However, those memories soon flooded away as Rafael made it to their first location. "A movie theater? Why are we here?" Andrea questioned soon after they left the car.

"Remember that doctor show we watched?" Rachel came from beside her, "Blood and tools? Of course". "Well, we are going to be watching the movie of the series, we thought you would like it" Rylie came from beside her.

"Seriously? That's amazing! Never knew there was a movie about it" Andrea smiled, "Well come on! We don't want to be late!".

They all ordered their snacks, along with their popcorn, and rushed into the cinema to sit in their assigned seats. Andrea sat besides Asher and Ryker, then Ryker throughout the rest of his siblings. They all joked around as they waited for the trailers to conclude. "Robin, stop throwing around the popcorn! That's disgusting!" Rachel yelled, with people shushing in the back.

Andrea looked to the side to all the commotion and simply laughed at their puerile behavior. "Why are they like this?" Andrea laughed as Ryker replied, "Truly, I don't think these are my siblings".

The movie began and their family finally became silent, along with the rest of the crowd. It was pitch black with only the movie to radiant light; and the footsteps that could barely be heard of those just entering.

Both Asher and Andrea reached for something at the same time, touching their hands and quickly lifting away. "Sorry, go on" Andrea whispered as they were sharing popcorn together, "No no I'm sorry, please".

Andrea laughed as she took a handful and ate a few pieces; looking back and began to laugh again with Asher.

"Looks like they are having their own fun" Lucas whispered to Ava, gesturing in their direction. "They have to get together, they would be so cute together" Ava stared in awe as she leaned her head on Lucas' shoulder. "This year, hopefully Asher admits; however, I don't think Andrea likes him" Lucas sighed.
