You're Joking Right?

I'm back

I woke up to a text and a note from Xandra letting me know she already left for work. I went downstairs and into the kitchen after doing my morning routine. She had left some breakfast for me in the microwave. Pancakes and fresh fruit, one of my favorites.

After basically inhaling breakfast I grab a bag and an umbrella. I make sure the doors are locked before I just leave. Then I transmutate to the coven and again I'm back in this bedroom. I check the bathroom and her bedroom first to see if she's in there. Of course she's not because she's usually up and at em by 6am. I skip down to the kitchen and there she is over the stove making breakfast.

"Good Morning Ms.Goode" I say and her head whips around and she rolls her eyes playfully. "I thought you'd be happy to see me" I say walking over to her with a mischievous smile. "I'm very happy to see you" she says flipping a pancake. "Did you anticipate my arrival? Making my favorite is definitely a way to get on my good side" I say jokingly. She takes a finger of whipped cream and smears it on my nose. I gasp and nudge her arm as she giggles.

I close my eyes and hold my face put to her for her to wipe it off. I wait and she doesn't do anything so I open my eyes. She's standing really close to my face and blushing. I smirk subtly at her, it's almost funny how nervous she gets around me. "Cordelia" I say and she just stares at me with her mouth slightly open. "Cordelia" I say a bit louder and she blinks looking confused. "Your pancakes are burning" I say gesturing to them. I chuckle as she quickly flips them, they're a little crispy but fine.

I wipe the whipped cream off with my finger and decide to tease her. "Open" I say and she obeys without question. I slide my finger into her mouth and she swirls her finger around licking it all off. "Sweet" she says looking directly into my eyes. "Cheeky" I reply and she giggles looking back at her pancakes. "I do need your help though" I say nervously. "With what?" She asks turning the stove off and gesturing for me to help her with the plates.

I explain the situation as we set the table and the girls start coming down. "Oh hey y/n" Zoe says sweetly giving me a quick hug. "Sup bitch" Madison says, "you never change" I say acting mad. She stands right in front of me and we look each other directly in the eye. "I'm not afraid of you" she says dangerously. "Good thing that wasn't my intention" I say nonchalantly. "Welcome back I guess" she rolled her eyes hiding a smile and I just shake my head.

"I have to steal your supreme for a bit" I say and they all seem fine with it. "Keep her forever if you want" Madison says and I roll my eyes. Delia grabs a plate and we go to the greenhouse. "Alright I think I have something that can help you" she mumbles as she looks through a bookcase. "This might do it" she says blowing dust off a book and putting it on the table in front of us. Turns out that wasn't it and we went through several more before finding the book.

"Right here" I exclaim gratefully as I find a passage explaining what's going on with me. "What's it say" she says leaning over as I take a piece of fruit from her plate. "Well it says this can be indicative of a premonition" I say confused. "Translation" she asks funnily and I nod desperately. "It's saying that what you're experiencing can be the result of the future. Meaning you saw into the future and your body is reacting to it" she says and I look at her like she has two heads.

"Do you remember anything strange?" She asks softly and I shake my head slowly. "I just woke up with a nauseous feeling and a slight headache. I ate and tried to sleep it off but it's just this dull pain" I say trying to piece it together. "Maybe the dream you had last night, can you try and remember it?" She asks softly as she puts her hand on top of mine. I get this flash of something and remove my hand from hers. "What?" She asks worried and I can't seem to put it into words.

"Michael, Madison, Miriam" I whisper to myself. Those were the key points that I remembered or rather key people. "What?" Cordelia asks confused and I shake my head. "I don't know if I should tell you. I don't know if I should tell anyone" I say. "You don't have to go through this alone" she says looking into my eyes. All I can see is fire and dust in her eyes and it terrifies me. "You're shaking sweetheart" she says reaching out for me before retracting her hand.

"Can I touch you?" She asks and I nod permitting her to wrap her arms around me. "It'll be ok, I promise" she whispers in my ear. "What do I do?" I ask desperately, "the only thing you can do is wait I'm afraid. Unless you want to work on your magic and prepare. Even that is limited though depending on when this danger is coming. Do you know when?" She asks. "I think because it's dull that means it's not that close? When it gets worse I'll let you know" I promise.

"Well other than that I can research a bit more and update you" she says. "That'd be great" I say pulling back from the hug and standing up. "I hate to see you hurting" she says sincerely and I give her a sad smile. "At least we can work together to figure out what this is" I say. "There's something else bothering you" she states and I sigh. "What if it's real Delia?" I ask and she looks down for a moment. "I hate to say it but it probably is. You wouldn't be feeling this level of torment if it wasn't" she says.

"I'm scared" I whisper, "I'm right here" she reassures me holding my hands. "I won't let you do this by yourself" she promises. "...and don't worry about me, ok? I'll be fine" she says reading my thoughts. I know she won't be fine but I don't think it's meant for her to know that. "Just beware of Micheal" I say and she nods. "I think you have to go" she says looking at the time. "And you have to make dinner" I say smiling softly.

"I love you" she says holding my face in her hands. I forgot for a moment what exactly she means by that. Yet it doesn't even matter because she cares for me either way. "I love you too" I say reciprocating the gesture. She leans into my right hand and rubs her cheek against it softly. "Friends?" She asks, "with benefits?" I joke and she pushes me lightly. I rest my forehead against hers and we look into each other's eyes.

"Friends like this" I state and she tears up a bit. I wipe the few tears that fall and give her a tight hug. "I'll call you soon star" I say and she giggles. "Star?" She says curiously, "your hair is golden and your aura is light. So I'll call you star" I explain. "Can I call you sun" she more states than asks. "Why?" I ask curiously, "because you light up my world" she says. "Ok" I blush and hug onto the book in my hands tighter so it doesn't fall.

"Safe travels" she smirks and I roll my eyes before transmutating to the house. As I readjust to my surroundings I realize Xandra is sitting right in front of me. "Care to tell me where you went?" She asks skeptically before taking a sip of wine.
