Fires Collided

I arrived and knocked on the door.But before they answered Babette and Hector flew to me."Hey guys!Missed me that much?"Babette gave me a kiss on the cheek and Hector jus stared at me."Hey Rose!""Hi Margie.Where are my grandparents?And where is Alex?"Marige let me in."Master Alex hasn't come yet.And your grandparents are at their seperate studies.I think there is a crisis going on at their work.Do you want my help to settle?"I nodded."That's be very nice of you Margie."We went up to my room and I saw the roses losing their color."Margie when did you last changed theri water?""Two days ago."I sighed."Please change it Margie."She got the vase and left.I went to their cage to put them back and I saw two little things that weren't there a couple months ago."What are those?"Babette landed on them and laid down."They're our babies."I covered my mouth and started crying out of happiness."Oh my...Babette I'm so proud of you."Then I turned to Hector."Hector?You're going to be a dad?"He nodded and actually saw a tear drop from his eyes."Awe...And if I am your owner,not trying to imply anything,I'm basically their grandma?"Babette nodded."Oh my God."I cried even more."I'm so proud of you two.When do you think they will crack?"Babette and Hector thought about it."Around four months."I sighed."Too bad I can't be here when it happens."

"You will be here.Maybe they'll surprise you."I placed Hector in their cage."I'll need a bigger cage for you four then."Margie came back right that moment."Oh mistress Rose are you alright?"I nodded."I'm perfect Margie.Thank you for changing the water.Please unpack my bags while I see my grandparents."She sighed."It's very heated in there.I wouldn't recommend it."I sighed."Very well.I have some letters to write anyways."

I wrote to Dexter about Babette and Hector's baby dragons.I wrote to Peter and Baron about me finally comeing back home.I wrote to Silver,James,Mel,Rolland,Cooper and everybody else I befriended.I asked them about how their holiday is going and all and they were quiet fast with their replies.Some because they were bored or they were in a very available moment.Some I got a return in the middle of the night.

A couple weeks went by like this and I studied on the books I got from Kendrick.They are seventh year and I even mastered a few things in less than two months.Alex came alone this year.And he came a month later than I did.Which is highly unlikely of him.He comes here before me all the holidays I've known him."So what do you think is happening?Your grandparents and mine are busy all the time.Your parents are also."He sighed."Some people are creating a lot of riots in the council meetings.They're trying to calm them down as important members of the community."

"Riots?Who would create a riot?"He rolled his eyes."I can't list all the names to you but starting with Fern,Crooks;following with Hatch and their allies.The list is long.They just started not liking things out of nowhere."I scoffed."Of course Fern is involved.Ferns are always invloved.Phoenix and his sick wife!Ugh!They're just...disgusting.They disgust me."A whole three months went like this.It was only a couple days before I went back to school and Alex got his powder and his stuff.We were celebrating.Only then I got to have a proper converstation with grandma and grandpa.

While we were celebrating Margie came in screaming."Mistress Rose!The eggs are cracking."I ran to my room and there they were.Two beautiful baby dragons looking at their mama and papa with their little bodies."So...what are their names?"Hector showed the black one."This is Brenton."Then Babette showed the purple one."And this is Dalinda."

(DALINDA)

And it was the first day of school again.Alex got in.We were in the garden with Peter and Silver.Waiting for Alex to be called out on."Alex Monroe!"He came forward and he cut his hand so bravely.His uniform turned into red.He ran to me first and turned me around.Just like when Dexter got into Eaglewan like he wanted."I'm so proud of you."He finally let me go and it was dinner time.Alex sat next to me and the others.He fit in so well.

Afterwards we all headed to the common area in our comfy pyjamas and sat around the fireplace.I sat between Alex and Peter.The others around us.It was perfect.In fact too perfect.But I jinxed it."The whole gang huh?You must be the little peasent she isn't stop talking about."I stood up and I walked towards him and he backed away with every step of mine until he hit the wall.He was staring at my head because I was on literal fire."I would choose your next words very carefully Fern.""Or what?You'll burn me?Hit me?Kick me?Or just simply send a fire message?What Monroe?"I sighed and calmed.I pointed my finger at his face and whispered."You know exactly what you're doing."Then Peter called out to me."Rose he's not worth it."I took a deep breath and stepped away.Mumbling under my breath so low that I bearly heard it."Yes he is."Then he got me under his arma nd we went back to the others.

Ralph had nothing to do with his parents' actions.He was in between.He still is.I could see his glamour all over him.Maybe others can't because they don't pay enough attention but I do.I threw the thoughts away from my mind and turned back to the others."I'm sorry I lost it guys.I just wa-"Alex cut me off."Your older sister instincts kicked in.Totally understandable."I got him under my arma dn kissed his forehead."Exactly."He laid his head on my lap and rest of his body to the couch."You are such a baby.""No.You're lap is softer than the couch."I rolled my eyes."You're unbelievable."Then he looked at Peter."Sorry bud but my sister."Peter rolled his eyes with a little smile over his lips.I made eye contact with Silver.

"I'm just going to put it out there.You teo look adorable as a couple but you two as siblings?That's hot and cute!Like...wow!"I chuckled."It's the genes I guess."We high-fived with Alex after that.
