Broken B2 - Together

Chapter 1

Calla's POV

"Calla, come down here!" Mom called, interrupting my telepathy session. I was learning how to project my memories.

"Yeah, mom?"

"Um, I don't really know how to say this," She said. Her eyes were red and puffy, like she'd been crying. "Your dad. H-he's GONE!"

"Nah, I'm sure it's just a joke," I tried to calm her, but the pain in her voice was searing.

"A joke? A joke!? A JOKE!? YOUR FATHER IS NOT UNCLE KEEFE!"

"Maybe you just need some time alone." I backed out of the room, then ran outside to where my brother was testing out his paper airplane.

"Kenric!" I called as I slowed down by his side.

"What?" he asked.

"Dad, he's missing."

"What do you want us to do about it?"

"Y-you knew? And you didn't tell me?!" I yelled.

"Yup, that sounds about right."

"UGH. Brothers. But what I mean is we can do what mom did when she was younger!"

"You want us to have a lot of painful near death experiences? No thanks."

"No! I mean we can find dad and kill whoever kidnapped him!"

"Uh, I don't know if you noticed, but mom was twelve when she had her first 'near death experience'. You're ten, and I'm ONLY FIVE!"

"Yeah, but if you add our ages together, we're more than 12!" I argued.

"I don't think it works like that."

"Don't think; believe. I mean think about it-"

"You said don't think," he reminded me.

I took in a deep breath. "Listen about it, if mom isn't up for saving him, then who will?"

"Not us."

"You know what, fine. I will find dad by myself, then I'll show you! And I bet mom will make me six batches of ripplefluffs! You'd get the same if you helped. But that's fine."

"I'm in!" 

A/N Chapter 1, yay!
