Hell Rapture

Chapter 40

I woke up with the smell of pancakes and beacon in the air, never thought I'd smell something delicious after yesterdays event, I got up and ran downstairs to the kitchen where I found Carmen and Paris in the kitchen.

"Oh?! Raven, Good morning, would you like some pancakes and beacon? But I do apologize you don't have any eggs in the fridge," Carmen said as she set a plate in front of Paris, who is reading the Italian newspapers.

I nodded and looked at them with kind eyes, "yes, please."

Carmen smiled and turned back around getting another plate to fill.

Isabella came in with sleepy eyes and mumbling about pancakes and sat next to me.

"Morning girls, I hope you both had some well-needed sleep, cause we are going to visit some old friends of ours," Paris said, setting the newspaper down and looked at us with smiles.

"Who?" Isabella said, yawning and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"They are some very powerful people, and we have to be well dressed in order to have a serious conversation," Carmen said, after setting my plate and Isabella's plate in front of us.

"Powerful? How powerful are we talking about?" I said, pouring butter and syrup on my pancakes.

"They are very powerful, sometimes even for their own good, but none the less they are some very respectful people, they are someone you don't want to piss off, "Carmen said, pouring coffee in cups and putting them on the table.

"Well, I don't know about you but I guess we have to start packing," I said, scarfing down the food and setting my plate in the sink.

I sighed as I watch Raven walk away with a determined thought in her mind.

"Well... that was unexpected, don't you think Paris?" Carmen said as she drank some hot chocolate.

I nodded and looked at my plate that was now empty, "Do you think they will ever figure it out?" I asked, crossing my arms in dismay.

Paris shrugged and looked at the time, well she's right if we want to make a good impression then we have to get there early.

Carmen scoffed and crossed her legs, "why do we have to make a good impression? if you ask me I think they should make a good impression on us!" She said pouting slightly.

Paris chuckled and looked at her adoringly, "Carmen darling you know that it's been that way since we've met them."

Carmen nodded and sighed, "I know, I just want something to change you know."

We nodded and pulled out our phones.

"Tell me, Isabella, how is everything?" Paris asked, Trying away as Carmen stepped out the kitchen and into the dining room for a phone call.

I smiled, "Everyone is so welcoming! Lyn and Edward nearly had a heart attack when they saw me," giggling slightly, "But none the less, they are very welcoming, you've raised them right," I said kindly.

Paris smiled widely and nodded in satisfaction, "That's good to hear, I do hope that Ash didn't give you a hard time, though."

I giggled and gave him a dismissive wave of my hand, "Nonsense brother, besides I kinda got the feeling that there was something going on anyways."

~'~

I looked all around my room as I mentally checked the lost I had in mind, making sure that I didn't leave anything behind.

I heard knocking on the door and Isabella peaked her head in with a childish smile, "Hey, we leave in a few days so you don't need to rush, okay."

I sighed exaggeratedly and flopped down on the bed, "yeah, I know. I just want to find them as soon as possible you know. I don't want to be useless, " hugging a pillow to my chest.

Isabella sighed as she walking inside with a gentle look on her face, "I understand that but you also need to be patient for them too. You can't just rush in there without a plan now, can you?"

She giggled and nodded, "I can relate more than you'll ever know, " she said filing her nails.

I looked at her through narrowed eyes, "And how could you relate to me?" She asked.

She froze and dropped her filer, "Well... I've never met my parents and the only parent figure I've ever had was my brother and his wife. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost my family, honestly... I would lose my shit if that ever happens"

I gave her a gentle pat on her knee and sat up, "Well, since we only have a few days before we meet these important people, I suggest we have a sleepover!" I said, giving her my crazed grin.

Isabella looked startled, "A... sleepover?"

I nodded vigorously, probably lost a brain cell or two, "Yup! A sleepover!!! we can play games and watch romantic movies, eat junk food and talk about cute boys!!! Maybe sneak out the mansion and go to a club!!!!! OHHH!!! Tonight is going to be fun!!!" Jumping up and down on my bed.

Isabella chuckled as I kept on ranting about all the things.

~'~

We looked at the ceiling as thumping sounds came from above us.

"Well, looked like the girls are going to have a fun night, from the sounds of it," Paris said as he put away the last dish.

I giggled and nodded, "Yes, I guess they are. Since they have something to do night, why don't we go out and into the city?"

Paris hummed in delight as I scratched under his chin lightly, "I guess we could."

"Guess? We are. It will be a romantic evening under the stars, with a night of a memorable time." I said, twirling around the kitchen as I said multiple words in different languages.

Paris looked at me with admired eyes, "Alright, I'll make arrangements with a nice little restaurant, you know, like the one we went to for our 55th anniversary? By the sea with an open view."

I smiled at the memory and nodded, "If they still are open, it's been a long time since we been here."

Paris nodded and held me close, "Don't worry everything will be arranged, just look as elegant as ever."

I giggled and kissed him lightly, "Don't worry, everything will go as plan."

Paris smiled and nodded, "well now I guess I have to get everything ready."

~'~

I closed the door and walked down the hall, I sighed and rubbed my white hair with my hands in frustration, "Urgh," I said quietly.

I didn't think that keeping Raven from walking away was this much work, but then again I didn't think that I would plan a sleepover with her either.

I went to my room and closed the door, "So much work, so little time. I need a little stress relief." Flopping down on my bed and looking at the ceiling.

I didn't notice the note sitting on my coffee table, Little did I know. It was a clue to where the others might be.
