The time has come for me to leave. I slip on the outfit Mel gave me and feel the fabric, still shocked it could actually be bulletproof. I sit down on my velvet bed and stare out the window that reveals the forest nearby. I hear a knock on the door.
"I'm coming now," I call.
"Okay," replies the voice, Luke.
I slowly get up and open the door. I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. I sit down beside Mel. Everyone is silent.
"I know what I'm going to do," I say, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" asks Dad, "And what's that?"
"I would rather not say," I mutter.
"Oh, okay," he says.
"Heather, eat some breakfast," orders Mum.
"I'm not hungry," I argue.
"You need food, eat," she insists.
I groan and see what selection we have for breakfast. My eyes brighten as I see french toast, okay, I was hungry. I slip three slices onto my plate and greedily eat them all. Then I take another two and eat them.
"Heather!" scolds Mel.
"Leave her be, she'll be hungry on her journey," says mum.
Mel nods seriously and I laugh as I drink a sip of milk. The clock ticks and the time is now ten a.m. My smile fades as I remember how close I am to leaving.
Mum senses my nervousness and says, "It's okay, come on, I want to show you something." She leaves the room and I follow her out.
She hands me a small bag, "Take this with you, okay?"
I give her a confused look, "It's sorta small, don't you think?"
She winks, "Forget my power, did you?"
Mums power. Making huge places look small.
"Oh, cool," I say with a smile.
She nods, "Now, go say your goodbyes. It's about time you leave."
I bite my lip, "Yeah, o- okay."
I walk slowly back to the kitchen, I could be mistaken as a snail at this moment. Mel runs up to me and gives me a tight hug, "Kill that idiot, okay?"
I laugh, "I'll try."
She releases me and pats my back, "G'luck Heather." I smile and get hugged again my Dad and Mum.
"Goodbye," I murmur before I disappear into the sun.
