The 8th Sparrow

Kiss on the Cheek

Fives Pov

This Sparrow. A 54 year old, trapped in a 14 year old body, attitude dripping from every single word said, but, still as caring as hell. Cathy was going to Allison's room to help her get over her daughter. I was about to follow her until Klaus stopped me.

Cathy POV

I walked into Allison's room to find her curled in her bed, sobbing. She looked like she hasn't slept in days judging by the bags under her eyes.

"Allison! I'm so sorry!" I said as I sat on her bed, "I heard what happened."

"I actually thought time traveling back would make everything normal, now, my daughter doesn't even exist," she said as she shifted to sit next to me, as I engulfed her into a hug, in comfortable silence.

"How about you break some sweat, it always helped me get over my breakups, help me break loose anger," I suggested.

"I'll just stay here for awhile," she sniffed

"Hey, let's break some sweat together later!" I suggested as I nudged her shoulder.

"Sure," she said confidently 

"Great!" I said walking out, a huge idiotic smile on my face.

"Hey, what do you say we get outta here?" he started, with a mischievous grin I knew too much about, "Have a little ... road trip"

"What are you talking about?" I asked him as I looked for some food.

"I'm talking about taking a soujourn to the countryside," replied Klaus, "You, Me maybe your girlfriend, the wind in our hair. Thelma and Louise on open road."

"First off she is not my girlfriend, Last, you know both of them die right?" I questioned not actually minding that that she was called my girlfriend.

"Holding hands, Living our best lives, my little cherub,"

That's as much as I heard until I saw Cathy came down with her perfect cheery smile until a wave hit. It felt like a wind whipping my bones lightly.

But, Cathy collapsed onto the floor and I swear I heard a crack on her cuff and her veins glowing under her skin. I jumped up and I carried her in my arms. I checked her pulse the problem was it was better than normal, it felt strong. I carried her back to the seat and said,

"Okay, I'll bite, why me?"

"Because you said you were retired, and that's what retired people do, have some fun!" Klaus attempts to persuade me.

"There's no lobster," I muttered after I saw the tank.

"What was that?"

"There was three lobsters in that tank a minute ago,"

That's when I felt Cathy wake up,

Cathy POV

It was empty Void, it wasn't black or white it was just emptiness. My knife hammered and produced an aura, I felt a thrumming in my vein and I felt like I was getting stronger, I also heard a snap in my cuffs, then suddenly I woke.

"Good Morning, sweetheart," I teased

"Shut up," Cathy muttered as she blushed heavily.

"Yeah, maybe, Chet blended them into a morning smoothie," Klaus said, then a laughter came from Cathy, it sounded like music.

"You're an idiot but we're in." I agreed for both of us, as Cathy shook her head. 

"I need to be with Allison, break some sweat," she told us

"Pleaassse come with us! You should relax you know?" Klaus trie to persuade her, "All the pressure you're under,"

"My siblings will be back for me," she said, but, it looked like she was resuring herself more than us.

"I'll give you 20 dollars?" Klaus suggested.

"Damn it, sure," Cathy replied as I smirked, always so money-hungry. 

"I'm going to grab a drink," she said as she went to the counter and grabbed Coke. She walked out the door followed by me and Klaus. Where was she going, we don't even know how to go there! Then she pulled out a knife and walked up to a expensive looking car, she swiftly picked the lock and started the car somehow. 

I sat in the backseat as Cathy sat in front. I stared at her while she was wearing her seatbelt. She looked like a mess but she was so pretty. Nope, I was not falling for a sparrow I mean- I was interrupted from my thoughts as I heard Cathy chuckle,

"You know it's rude to stare?" She teased

"Sorry," I whispered.

She bent back as Klaus attempted to not crash the car. She did the literal unexpected, she kissed my cheek. She snickered at my reaction and reset in her seat. I rub my cheek to find dry blood? Bro, this person scares me.
