The meeting wrapped up soon after that. The kids let Liam's crew leave first. No way did they trust them at their backs -- Pact or no Pact.
Travis reassured everyone that it was going to be all right. It was only his pinky finger and he felt fine otherwise. They had plenty of time. They could do anything they put their minds to, but Kyle wasn't buying it.
Everyone made a plan to go to their mentors first thing. There was an emergency line set up to contact them when school was out. It was set up to protect the magical world. If an enlightened felt their powers getting out of control, or they'd done something to endanger their super secret world, and miraculously the council hadn't found out, they were expected to contact their mentors.
Cam said he would ask Knight to start looking for an antidote right away, knowing how brilliant he was he might just come up with something by the time they got back to school on Monday.
Yeah right . . . school on Monday Kyle thought, no way he'd be showing up at school if his brother had less than a week to live. And Miss Long was for damn sure not getting her history paper now. He knew one thing for certain though if they managed to get in to this deadly library and out again alive they would be the ones making history.
They would also be number one on the councils most wanted list and they might as well join Liam's gang, because their somewhat normal life in San Fran would be over.
Kyle rolled over in his bed as he thought about every possibility and he let his brothers slow shallow breaths while he slept lull him to sleep. Tomorrow he had to find a solution, because there was no F'N way he was going to let Travis go without a fight.

When Kyle opened his eyes Travis was already in the shower he could hear the water running through the pipes in his bedroom wall. He rolled over feeling exhausted. When was the melodrama going to stop? He'd only just got his brother back and now he was at risk of losing him all over again.
He needed a vacation from his fucked up world.
Kyle was feeling much more hopeful after getting in to a semi hot shower. He couldn't complain about Travis using up the hot water though, he thought I guess he's feeling a little stiff. He snorted derisively at his sick joke, until he cried.
. . . Let you in on a little secret . . . the shower is the perfect place for a foster kid to cry, because nobody can hear you and he can easily trick yourself into thinking that it's the beads of water from the shower coursing down your face.
When Kyle entered the kitchen after his shower Travis was already sitting down at their small family table eating a handful of bananas. He looked up with a concerned look on his face that made Kyle want to reprimand him for wasting his time worrying about him when his life was in jeopardy, but that would be like asking the sun not to come up.
