Our Hidden World

Chapter 7

Josephine's P.O.V:

I walk calmly over to the door even though I'm a little freaked out. I mean we were just talking about how close the hunters are to finding us and then the doorbell rings? Yeah that's not scary at all.

I open the door and freeze. Well this is unexpected.

Landon is standing in front of me, obviously just as shocked as I am.

"Umm hi Landon. Do you want to come in?"

"Sure," he replied

" Sooo, whatcha doing here?"

"Well as you know I just moved here and well actually I guess I live right behind you."

"No really? I didn't even know that they had moved out. Ok so why are you here than?" I asked curiously.

"My parents thought it would be a cool idea if we threw a barbecue so that we could meet some of our neighbors."

"Awesome so when is it?"

"Two days from now, Saturday night."

It was then that Landon looked around and noticed all of the other people in the room.

"Oh um hi everybody. I'm sorry for intruding on your party or whatever."

"Oh Landon you don't have to act so shy and tense. We don't bite," Nyssa said. "Well most of us," she admonished then laughed.

"And don't worry," Eli added. "This definitely isn't a party more like a debate or something. "

After this, Landon seemed to relax and stayed to hang out with us. We talked for an hour before we heard the doorbell ring again.

"That must be my dad," Landon said sadly.

"Oh no, don't worry its not," Brooke said as I get up to answer the door.

"Hi Ty! Aww Natalie you've gotten so big! I've got them Mrs. Greenberg."

"Thank you so much Josie, and thank your sister for me too. I'll be back for them at 11. Yeah you know the drill," Mrs. Greenberg said.

"Yep. Have fun on your date night. See you at 11," I told her and closed the door.

I turned around with Natalie on one hip and Ty hanging onto my finger.

"Landon this is Ty," I look at the kid hanging onto my finger. "And this is Natalie. They know everybody else."

Landon greets them and we proceed to debate which Disney movie we should watch.

"SLEEPING BEAUTY!" Jordi yells

"Not going to happen Jordi, we're watching Cars," Logan stated.

"Excuse me?!" Blair asks "We're definitely watching Mulan."

As those three fought back and forth, the rest of us quietly did a vote between Tangled and Brave. After we decided on Tangled (the boys admire Flynn), we sent Ty up to the DVD player so that we could start the movie before the others bickering could notice and stop us. Nobody ever pays attention to the little kids so we use them as our secret weapons when the situation calls for it. I believe that this one does.
