*Recap*
"Ok. I'll make the extra rooms ready."
"Sera, can you hurry up on the phone? we are about to dock."
"Ok."
"Well, mom, we are about to dock, so see you in a little bit."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye."
*End of recap*
"Ok. There's land. Now where do I anchor my boat?", my dad mumbled frustrated.
"There's a boat dock on the back of my house.", I told him.
"There is? Well, why didn't you say so?"
"Sorry, you sort of never asked."
"Oh. Ok. Well, at least I know now. Where is it?" He started turning to the left.
"It left-ah, the way you are going now, actually." 'Hmm... it's like he knows where to go.', I thought.
"Which way", he said while turning right.
"Umm... right." Lucky guess.
'Hey guys?', I mind-asked my siblings. I got a chorus of yeahs and whats. 'Do you think he knows where he is going?' They were all talking at once.
'All right. All right. One at a time.' They went quiet. 'Thank you. Alyssa, you go first.'
'Well, I don't know, but I think he is keeping something from us.', Alyssa said.
'Yeah. He acts all strange every time you mention your mom.', Andre said.
'Now that you mention it, yes, he does.', Tavien added.
'What? That he acts strange or that he knows where he is going?', I asked.
'Both.'
'Tavien.... What do you mean both?'
'Uhhh.... it's not my place to tell you.'
'Ok. Fine. Don't tell me. I'll find out on my own.' I walked below deck, went into my room, and collapsed on top of my bed. Why do some things have to be so difficult to include others in? All of a sudden, the boat jerked and stopped moving. Some shouting about where the anchor and rope should go was heard.
"Sera! We're here!", Aiden called down from upstairs. I groaned silently because I have to get up.
"Ok!", I called back. "Be up in a minute!" I grabbed the bottle of water I always kept in my room. Well, technically it's Em's and my room, but who's counting? Anyways, I opened the bottle and set it on the table beside my bed. I also made sure my suitcase was upright. My hand went to my pocket to check that my phone was still there. If you're curious, I have a white iPhone 4S with an phone case with an ocean wave on it. Good. It's still there. I raised my hand and slowly maneuvered the water to form a bubble around the suitcase it started to rise a few feet and hovered there. I walked around to the front of the suitcase and flicked my hand toward me to make it follow me. Slowly I walked up the stairs with my luggage following me. When I got to the top of the stairs, I saw everyone scrambling to get their luggage off the boat. Emerald could be seen on the opposite side of the boat trying to make her luggage levitate like mine. When she finally got it to work, she raced over to me with her own stuff following her
Kai and Zayn walked over to where we were standing "Hey, do you guys need any help?", They asked us.
We pointed behind us, revealing the floating luggage. "Na. I think we're good."
Kai and Zayn's mouths dropped open. Yeah, they knew about my powers but didn't know about everything we could do. Then, their faces changed from ones of shock to pouts."aww..... but we wanted to help you.", Kai pouted. "Yeah!", Zayn joined in.
Em and I started giggling. "Nope. Sorry! looks like your too late.", I said as we walked off toward the dock.
