Furies

Chapter nine

Amara's POV

"A ski trip?" I asked

"Yea, with all the things going on for the past few days, I thought that we should have some fun, you know, let out some steam" Anna said waving her hands in the air dramatically

"I don't know, I mean, with all the things going one, we have a lot of work to do" I replied reluctantly

"Come on guys, we all need some time away from all of this" she persuaded

"I'm down" Chris said slumping down on the couch

"If he's in, I'm in" Jason

"me too" Zander

"Couldn't hurt right?" Talia asked

They all looked at me, waiting for my answer. I shrugged and replied, "Why not, when are we going?"

"Today" Anna said, everyone gaze quickly shifted to her in surprise

"What?" Zander shouted

"Yea, already booked the rooms, we have to leave in about 3 hours" she said in her usual happy voice

"What?" Fiona

"Yea, so...., you should start getting ready"

"Why...., why would you go ahead and book a trip and not tell us about it first" I asked

"Because i wanted to" she said a gave a huge smile before turning around and going up to her room

"Up to this day, I still say she's adopted" Zander said and we all laughed

"You're sister is a very troublesome wolf" I said as I took some clothes and put them into the dresser drawers

"Oh, I know, I've lived with her since she was born" Zander replied

"So what are we going to do while we're here?" I asked and took a seat on the tail end of the bed

"do a little skiing, drink some hot coffee, share stories and in Anna's case, go shopping"

Nice" I stated sarcastically

"Come on, lighten up" he said taking my hands in his,"we're away from all that conflict, we're together and for the time being, everyone's happy"

"I suppose you're right"

"Of course I am, now come on, your sister's making lunch and I've heard good things" he said and pulled me out of the room while slinging an arm over my shoulder

" by 'your sister's making lunch and I've heard good things', I'll assume you mean Fiona, because Talia's cooking is terrible" I stated and soon after he burst out laughing just as we walked into the kitchen

"What are you guys laughing about" Fiona asked from her place near the stove

"Talia's cooking" I answered

"What's wrong with my cooking?" Talia asked defensively

"Have you tasted your cooking?" I replied with raised eyebrows

She looked up in the air and thought for a second before looking back at me and replied, "Good point"

"Come on, How bad can her cooking be?" Jason asked

"a couple of years ago she was making a sauce to go with some fruit for a gathering we were having......, she mixed in Parrot poop with it" I stated
