~Kara's POV~

"Hello, Kara?." A small feminine voice echoed from my phone speaker with a tone of worry etched in her voice.

"Sam?." I questioned, feeling rather perplexed as I pulled my phone away from my ear to stare at the screen and be sure I was hearing and seeing properly.

"Omg Kara, where have you and Lance been? Y'all just ghosted us and ditched school since the Halloween party night, is something wrong?." She sounded very worried, I could literally picture the expression on her face now and it made me chuckle.

"You're laughing! Unbelievable, do you know how worried I was, I thought something had happened to y'all!." She kept on rambling.

Typical Sam always a chill vibe.

"Calm down sugar, nothing's wrong, Lance and I are on vacation..." I said calmly as I felt a devious smirk crossing my amused lips and brightening my facial expression.

"Are you kidding me? Then I shouldn't be worried that you're gonna have yourself killed, don't lie to me, K." Sam shuddered in the background.

Okay how did she get a hint about that?.

"I'm not lying to you Sam." I muttered calmly, pouting a little.

"I know everything Kara... Everything!." Sam said as she stressed the last word.

"I don't know what you're talking about!." I said, standing my ground.

If Sam knew anything about what was going she would be directly putting herself into harm's way, I can't risk my friends getting killed as well. Not a chance.

"Kara, my Dad... You know Detective Parker right?." She sighed heavily across the line, her voice lowered now.

"Yeah what about him?." I asked, feigning lack of interest hopefully to make her change her mind.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?.

"Well Harvey's my Dad, I saw the case files and some stuff about the investigation, I asked and he told me all about it..." She reduced her voice to a quiet whisper.

Oh goody!. 

"I know you're not asking for my opinion but take it from someone that misses their mother so dearly..." She started and trailed off, weighing the moment carefully before she continued.

"Yeah I don't really know how I feel about you knowing all this..." I admitted quietly.

"I suggest you go see yours Kara, and most importantly try to make up for all that lost time, because life is short, full of surprises and also very unpredictable..." She added.

"Somehow I know deep down that you want this as well..." She said finally.

There was a short silence that was caused by me because I let the weight of her words linger before drinking them in and accepting the fact. 

"Maybe!." I muttered firmly and then pulling the phone from my ear, I hit the red end-call button before she had the chance to say anymore words.

Maybe...

Maybe I wanted to see her, maybe I didn't want to hear her explanations.

But what harm could come from just meeting and sitting for a cup of coffee outside a cafe stall.

Johnny and Sara had organized a meeting at the other side of town at a popular Cafe joint.

Yeah I'm screwed.

I could actually bail without giving them any possible explanation for my actions because I owe no one nothing. Periodt!.

***


I don't know how this happened but here I was standing in front of and staring at an older version of my reflection.

Yeah I sorta had a change of heart.

    "We'll be staying here until the engagement is over." He said as they got down from the car, and her bags were taken inside."Oh my God, is that the Prince?" A passerby screamed pointing in their direction, cameras were already up as more people gathered,"Oh my goodness, she's the one," they said whispering, Janine was already feeling uncomfortable as she tried to hide away, Ethan pulled her to his side, grabbing her shoulders tight making her wince at the pain,"Yes, she's the one. My future bride, our future queen, " he said smiling, and looking at her, she forced a smile avoiding eye contacts with the crowd that now stood in front of them,"Wow, how lucky!!! I'd trade anything to be in her shoes," one said. Janine felt the tears swell up in her eyes, batting her eyelashes immediately to stop them, her throat felt dry, her stomach felt sick, the fear which drowned her, the reality that she was s

    *Juliet*Though it had come early with the whiteout squall Sam and I’d had on the Isle Royale, the winter started out like any other. Children and adults alike brought their snow gear out of the cedar chests and armoirs and prepared to salt the streets and sidewalks.Driving was a bit more treacherous, but we’re used to this inconvenience, and with Julia still at home another year before kindergarten, Sam and I had only rare occasion to leave home anyway, weekly for mass and once a month for groceries and pantry staples. And it wouldn’t be the winter season without a few cold-weather aggravations as far as we were concerned.True to his word, with nothing else to do on the farm, Sam tore our bathroom apart and built a fine vanity with double sinks and a GE Textolite countertop. He made a special trip to the city and brought home and installed shining

    They were all bedrooms richly decorated with huge four poster beds, but each one decorated differently, making each room have its own individual personality. When I came across the seventh door. I could feel energy radiating on the other side of the door, someone was inside. I could see the soft green glow of their Aura, which meant one of two things, they were either an earth witch or human. I just hope it's Becca and not a Coven Elder.Luck must be on my side, upon opening the door. I discover Becca sitting on a metal chair in the centre of the room, her head slumped to the side, she glanced up when I stepped in closing the door behind me. Her hands and feet duct taped to the legs and arms of the chair. Her blonde hair matted with blood and sweat, she was bleeding from her forehead, a large gash that went from her eyebrow and into her hairline.When I first walked in, I froze at the sight of her. She lost we
