tell them I have a family emergency and will be out of class for awhile as well.” Will smiled lovingly at me.
Doc and Pratt excused themselves and headed back to the coven house. Doc told us he was calling a meeting with the other elders tonight to get the plans set for our departure to France as soon as possible. Pratt wanted no more setbacks, he was worried my heart would not survive another one, and getting me to France to complete the change was the best thing to do now.
Doc also had Roth and Taylor watching Sara. They would know her every move and she would not be allowed near me or anything I ate under any circumstances. Doc gave me extra pain medication so I could sleep that night. I curled into Will’s arms and went to sleep as Doc and Pratt headed to Gran’s room to fill her in before they left. Gran always knew what was going on, at all times. I liked that, she and Doc were good friends and he wanted to ease her mind about me and not have her worry.
Libby settled in and was reading when dad got home. Gran had called him and he left the office early to see about me. I was really glad he ran into Doc and Pratt on their way out. They gave him a good story so he wouldn’t ask too many questions. We couldn’t have him thinking I was getting sicker now, as I was to be going to France to study for the last semester of my junior year.
If he thought I was sick, again he would make it hard for me to go. I knew Doc and Pratt would smooth over the details and have him agreeable to my upcoming trip out of the country. I knew tomorrow Will would be with me all day, and things would be much better. I could hope they would be much better, anyway.
Chapter 16
Momentary quiet
It had been a quiet day, thankfully after yesterday’s drama. Will was with me all day except for when he had to hide in my bathroom when dad came in for his routine morning visit before he went to work. Sara had left early that morning, she was going shopping in New York with friends of hers from college, Gran had told us. I was so glad she was gone for the day and Will wouldn’t have to hide.
Doc and Pratt stopped by about ten that morning, and Pratt gave me another double dose of serum and a quick check up. Emma and Lydia had come with them, to visit me. Lydia brought me some flowers and Emma had made me some cookies, she said she had to make a double batch since Roth and Riley ate the first one. I laughed at that, those two ate anything and everything; they had definitely not lost their taste for human foods.
It was now late evening, and we had all ate supper, made lovingly by Gran. Roasted turkey, peas, mashed potatoes, and peach pie for dessert. I had missed the meals she made; they always reminded me of when I was little. Gran loved to cook and took every chance she could to do so.
Sara had thrown fits when she used her precious designer kitchen, so Gran had her own made in the east end of the house. It was actually, where the kitchen was at the turn of the century and perfect for her to use. Dad had it updated of course and put in all the things Gran wanted to make it efficient for her to use.
I had eaten so much I felt like popping, Gran knew that was my favorite meal. Will ate a ton too; he ate quite a bit more human food now, than he did before Vincent’s attack.
I still worried he was not recovering, as he slept more than I did at night. Pratt and Doc promised me he was going to be fine very soon and not to worry about it. I curled up to watch TV as Will slept on the couch, and Libby had gone off to her room already after getting me all settled for the night. Things were quiet, and I wasn’t complaining about that at all.
I didn’t think much as I heard voices downstairs. I expected Gran’s book club had just got done with their meeting. It was Tuesday night and that was their regular meeting night. I was going to
