“I hate to bug you love birds, but Doc said for you guys to be ready to go in an hour.” Roth’s smooth voice broke into our little world. “Another snow storm is moving in, and he wants to get Corrine home before it hits.”
“Roth you have the worst timing!” Will snapped, shooting him an annoyed look.
“Well sorry, but we do have places to go ok” He winked at me, making me laugh. I noticed Sayann watching Roth silently. I had a feeling she was checking him out, maybe those two would work out someday?
Roth looked like a typical college football player, tall, spiky blonde hair, perfect skin. I expected those two to be interested in each other soon. I saw Roth look at Sayann, and she quickly turned away, if she could have blushed, she would have right then I’m sure.
“I’ll be down stairs, waiting. Oh and Will, Doc has some stuff to talk to you about before we leave so come on with me.” He waved Will to follow him. Will kissed me again and followed Roth out of the room.
“Let’s get you dressed then, Corrine.” Emma held up a shirt and jeans. “It’s really cold so we better dress you in layers.”
“Ok,” I shrugged. I felt nervous now, as the time to really leave the safety of the coven house was upon me. I knew I was safe here, but at home, I was not so sure. The many times bad things happened to me, they happened there. I knew the coven would be protecting both Will and I, but I still worried.
“You ok there?” Sayann saw my tense face.
“Sure, just nervous I guess.” I frowned.
“Don’t be, Doc has this all under control, you will be safe and so will William. The coven is ready to protect you both.” She gave me a warm smile.
“Yes Corrine, let Doc, and Pratt take care of all that; you focus on yourself for now ok dear?” Emma patted my knee.
“Ok,” I smiled. “I will try.” It was hard to be convincing but I had to try.
I knew they were all trying hard to make me feel safe and I owed them that. I knew in a short time I would be home, and have to face dad and Sara once again. I was not worry about dad, he would be happy to see me. I really couldn’t wait to see him, it had not been that long but the past week had been stressful to say the least and many times, I never thought I would see him again.
I was dressed and ready to go now, it was a long and painful process Emma, and Sayann helped me get my jeans and a sweater on. I was stronger, but after being in bed so long my legs were a bit shaky.
“How are you ladies doing this morning?” Pratt’s voice made me look up as Emma sat me down in the chair next to the fireplace.
“Very well dear, Corrine’s is ready to go.” Emma smiled lovingly at him.
“Very good, we are about ready to go down stairs as well. Doc is finishing up some phone calls and then he will be ready to go. I have the car waiting in the garage, it is warming up.” He looked out the window and shook his head. “The weather is going to turn again. We need to leave soon, so we can get Corrine home before the heavy snow comes in.”
“Oh we will be ready.” Sayann smiled as she folded up some of my clothes and put them in my suitcase.
“Doc and I do need to speak with all of you shortly, before we leave though.” The change in his voice was drastic.
The issue we needed to talk about could not be good, whatever it was. I could see his eyes get darker, as he said it. This was just great another stupid complication, just what we needed. I was really starting to think I was jinxed or something.
“Doc will help me to explain it, as it concerns his brother Leo and the Dark coven. I feel you all need to understand what we have to do right now.” I sat silently with the others now waiting for Doc to get here. Will, Roth, Taylor, and Riley came in a few minutes later. Will sat next to me and took my hand.
“Doc and I spoke with the other coven members earlier this morning, not all
