CHAPTER SEVEN: lunch at Lola's

↫ ↫ ↫丂爪ㄖҜ乇 & 千丨尺乇↬ ↬ ↬

MALACHI RUEDA HAD BEEN UNSURE IF HE SHOULD STAY OR LEAVE. He felt as if it was a family moment he was intruding on, but, at the same time didn't want to leave either of them with Jake. Jason and Jax spoke about him, and how they acted when he was being spoken about, he thought the man was evil.

"What? How? You found her," Jake looked at his sons.

"Are you a witch like Jax and Jason?" She asked.

"Wizard," the three Novoas corrected.

But, Jake eyed Malachi, unsure of who he was.

"Wizard, whatever. Are you? Are you really powerful? How many spells can you cast? When will I get my powers?  Will I be as strong as Jax? Stronger?"

"Jessie, slow down," Jax tried to calm the girl.

Jake kneeled to the ground. "You'll be stronger, in time. Where's..." he looked a Jax and Jason. "Are you alone?"

The girl nodded. 

"Dad, do you recognize her?" Jax asked.  "Do you know she is?"

"Of course. I'd recognize the three of you if I hadn't seen you in a hundred years. But, how's you get here? You found her. How's you know where to look?

"Don't want me to go?" Kai whispered to Jax. But, he didn't want to go.

"We didn't. She found us," Jason replied, eyeing Kai, worried about how the other' 's foot was nervously tapping the floor, a hand clinging to Jax's arm.

"It really wasn't that hard," Jessie smiled. "But you have a lot of explaining to do."

"In due time," he chuckled. "Oh, you don't know how much I looked for you."

"Yeah, I'll take you home," Jax told Kai, believing his father was distracted enough, that he wouldn't notice. Or care, if Jax left for a moment.

"Dad, you didn't answer my questions," Jason spoke. "How do you know who she is? If she really is our sister, how come we don't remember her."

"Jason enough with the questions. Jax, stop," he called out.  "Who's this?"

"That's Malachi!" Jessie exclaimed. "Jax's boyfriend! He's in love with him! I have seen it!"
