The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 17

ISA POINT OF VIEW

"Ethan what is that?" I drop the key and the box on the table. "That is the Necklace of Enchantess." That's the necklace the Ministry after! How did we find it? How did Mark find it? "Ethan tell me everything you know about that necklace." He shakes his head and tells me "all I know is it has the ultimate power even more powerful then the Ministry power. If it falls into the wrong hands or into the Ministry hands were doomed."

I get up and walk outside. I start pacing back and forth on the porch. This doesn't make sense! How did Mark know about this? How did the Red Storm knuckleheads know about this? What are we going to do with it? How are we going to protect it from the Ministry? For all we know those Red Storm people work for the Ministry.

"Isa calm down." A hand wraps around mine and leads me to the porch couch. "What are we suppose to do with it? How did Mark know about this? I mean I know he's your friend, but I'm really starting to doubt him. And the Red Storm people they knew about it, but how? And..." I stop when I see Ethan give me the look of please stop.

He right I do need to calm down.

"Everything going to be okay. Mark coming over tomorrow I prefer he doesn't meet you not yet. He doesn't know much about you only that you help me with these missions and I'll like to keep it that way. I will talk to him because this is starting to smell fishy. I won't tell him what we found tonight, but I will ask him what he was expecting us to find. As for the other questions I really don't know, but you're going to have to trust me."

Lost for words I just nod. His hand still in mine and I couldn't help, but to be grateful it's still there. "What are we going to do with the necklace?" I asked still curious of what we're going to do. "We'll keep it in the box and hide it somewhere in the house maybe in your room." I shake my head. "No offense, but I don't want something that powerful in my room." He nods.

We just sit there just thinking/relaxing well as much as we can relax.

I feel my eyes begin to drop and my head falls on Ethan shoulder. "Sorry, I'm just a little tired. Can I stay like this for a while?" What am I thinking? Absolutely not!

I sit back up. Trying to stay awake as much as possible. We still need to figure out this necklace thing! "Relax." He puts my head on his shoulder and I couldn't help it, my eyes begin to drop. My shoulder fits perfectly, but why?

Well whatever the reason I'm grateful it does.
..............................................................................ETHAN POINT OF VIEW

I feel the calmest right here next to Isa. I see she dozing off already and I couldn't help to feel comfortable when her head falls on my shoulder. It's the perfect fit.

Isa is right though: how did Mark know about this? What are we going to do with the Necklace? This makes us more of target, but we still need to focus on Zane. He still after Isa and I don't except that.

I look at my watch. 3:00a.m. we been out here for 3 hours.

I get up and gently lift Isa up so she doesn't wake up. One hand supporting her legs, the other hand supporting her head. She so beautiful I wish she could see that.

I place Isa on the bed and put the covers over her even though she and I can't feel the cold or hot temperatures anymore I still find it comfortable.

"No worries I'll always be there to protect you. I'll never leave you." I walk out of her room. Why do I feel like something going to go wrong?
.....
I hear a knock on the door. Hopefully this is early enough that Isa won't wake up. I open the door for Mark to come in.
