Shape-Shifter's Promise

Chapter 19

I woke Seth with the smell of breakfast on the stove. I'd cooked eggs and bacon and toasted some bread. He came down the stairs in a blue fleece robe. I was wearing a silk robe that was a lavender color. I set his plate in front of him at the table and went to get him a drink. I kissed him lightly as I set his drink down. I'd already eaten my food while I was cooking his.

“This is good. How did you know my favorite breakfast?” He asked.

“Oh, I have my ways.” I told him.

When he was done I washed the dishes in the dish washer and put them away. He was on the couch watching television.

“When did that get there?” I asked him.

“Just now.” he said and I knew he'd created it.

We curled on the couch and watched a show called The Notebook. After it was over I had a strange, sick feeling in my stomach. I ignored it when I had a thought.

“We need to go back to Miami.” I said.

“What? No! They'd kill you, or try to.”

“I know, but you have to say goodbye to your mother because I saw your dreams in my head as you fell asleep before me. You don't want her to be eternal and follow you like she was chained to you while telling you what to do. But we have to. And while there we can make this thing official and elope. We are eighteen after all.”

“I guess your right, and it would be nice to be official.”

“Good. Oh yeah, Percy needs to say goodbye to his mother too.”

“Yeah, let's go get them and we will have to tell them everything. It also would explain why we're dressed the way we'll be.”

“Let's go.”

We got up and changed I wore one of my black dresses and put on my white fur cape with the hood and put on some black heels. I stopped at the vanity to fix my hair and pulled it up into an pretty pile on my head with a few curls here and there and set a small white rose from the bed posts in my hair and lightly misted my neck with my perfume. Seth came out of the closet in a white tunic and pants and his black fur cape with a hood. He looked at my hair and approved. I turned to put on a pair of earrings. I'd made my ears pierced and looked at the earrings they were black rose earrings that had six small metal chains that went from short to long on each side of the roses and each chain got longer until they reached the center. When I had them in I stood.

“You look beautiful and evil.” he said and I smiled, flashing my extended canine teeth that I purposefully elongated. They were just a bit longer than normal they looked like miniature vampire teeth on my top and bottom rows of teeth.

“Let's go.” I said.

We went to get Percy and Siobhan. They were already thinking about the same thing. They were ready in their human forms wearing the colors of their fur and capes the color of their mates fur. We told the God's where we were going and they gave us a stairwell of clouds straight into the middle of town. Siobhan and Percy went to Mrs. Stacey's. Seth and I walked to his house and made it there in record time. Ms. Charsha was home so Seth and I walked in. She was a wreck, sitting at the kitchen counter with her hand on her face and an actual old fashioned was to cope. She had a bucket of chocolate ice-cream and chocolate syrup. Seth and I chuckled at the ice-cream and she jumped. She almost fell out of her chair when she saw him. She stumbled over to him and hugged him as hard as she could. When she finished she turned to me. I still felt sick, so her face and temper did nothing to help.

“Get out of my house you monster!” She screamed at me and tried to slap me but Seth grabbed her wrist and stepped protectively in front of me.
