My only wish , my only dream

Chapter 8: Explain

We had driven off right away, i didn't dare glance back at him as it would make me feel guilty. Not so long after, i drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes to see ross shaking me. "Huh", i mumbled and rubbed my eyes. "Ah your awake", he smiled. "Were here so come on", he said. I got out the car and followed ross inside a nice looking house. "Im home Logan, oh and I've brought company", ross called. "You didn't crash right!", i heard someone call from upstairs. "I didn't, oh and come say hi to our guest", ross shouted. Soon i heard a door open and then footsteps. I looked over at the stairs and saw Logan, he wasn't in his long coat but in a jumper and jeans where as ross was wearing black jeans that almost looked like they were skinny jeans and a blue hoodie. Logan's orange eyes locked on me straight away.

"Why her of all people", Logan said scratching the back of his head. "She was being chased by a drunk familiar", ross laughed. Logan sighed and looked down. "Shall i go, i know someone else i can go to", i said and moved towards the door. "No, you shall stay here for the time being", Logan said and walked back up the stairs. "Don't worry we wont catch you again", he said.

Ross came over and hung his arm round my shoulder. "Wanna talk", he said and gave me a smile. "Okay", i said and walked into the kitchen after ross. Ross pointed at the bar stool under the middle counter. So i sat there as instructed while ross got two cups out. "May i ask some questions", i asked. "Sure, but expect some in return", he said cheerfully.

"So your a familiar", i asked. "Yep, I'm the 4th youngest", he replied. "Oh really, what are you may i ask", i asked as he handed me tea. "Im nothing special", he said and sat on the opposite stool. "Please tell me", i pleaded and he placed his tea down. "Im a jackalope", he said and averted his eyes from me.

Isn't a jackalope a rabbit with antlers. "So your a rabbit", i asked. "Unfortunately yes", he said while scratching his cheek. "Im not used for the front lines but for rescue, stealing or survey missions", he said. "Oh, thats cool", i answered while trying to not sound uninterested. "Anymore questions", he asked. "One more", i said. "Do you know what was wrong with Dakota", i asked while fiddling my thumbs.

"That is one i cant answer, im being truthful Alissa", he said and took a sip of his tea. "Um okay", i frowned as i took a sip of my own tea. "Now my turn to ask a few questions", he smiled and i prepared myself for his questions. "First question..wheres my tea your bastard", i turned round and saw Logan rather angry. "Haha dont worry, il make it now", Ross laughed and quickly began making Logan tea. Logan stormed over and took a seat on a stool opposite me.

"So what, you two doing 21 questions", Logan asked and i shook my head. "No, she asked a few questions so in return I'm allowed to ask two, why don't you kick it off", Ross said and Logan just gazed at me.

"Okay Alissa, why are you so weak", he smirked. I was taken aback by that comment."kidding, the real question is that, are you sure you know our situation", he asked, this time with a serious face. "Yeah, the magic barers and their familiars are fighting off the demons", i replied but he shook his head. "I take it you haven't met the man in charge have you", Ross said with sorrow in his tone. I shook my head which made Logan roll his eyes. "If you don't know that much then what are you here for exactly, just to make friends or to actually do something", he said. "What are you doing Alissa", he questioned.I lowered my eyes as somehow he was right, what am i doing.

I stayed the night and Dimitri picked me up the next morning. "So, did they do anything to you", he asked. "No, just asked me questions after i asked them some", i said and lowered my eyes. "There questions seem to bother you so what did they ask", he said which was right.

"Logan asked if i met the man in charge, and i shook my head so he said, if you havnt met him then what am i doing", i said and fiddled with my thumbs unsure what to do next. "I see, well he is right but your gonna have to run it through Dakota first", Dimitri said as he parked the car outside the house. "No!", i said abruptly which made Dimitri jump. "What happened last night", he asked. Shit..

"Tell me the truth Alissa", he said. I sighed, "he came home bruised and had ripped clothes and a black eye and he was drunk so he chased me down the street with bad intentions so Ross came and rescued me as he drove by", i said which was the truth. "That explains why he locked himself in his room", Dimitri said and got out, i followed behind. "Go to your room to rest and well stay away from Dakota, il sort the thing with Logan out okay", he smiled and i nodded before walking up the stairs and straight into my room.
