Unnatural

Chapter Twenty

When it comes to making a decision on what I plan on doing, I procrastinate. On every situation. I do whatever I can to not focus on the problem. Addie wants to know my final decision soon. I don't know if I have even made up my mind just yet. It's difficult though, making a life changing situation like this. At least I have until the Dark Fae leader wants to meet up with me for a chat. Which can be tomorrow, a week away, or a month. No one knows, besides the leader. Who is being indecisive. As nervous as I am I'm going to go in with my head held high and show no fear.

"It's noon, are they going to call you out today?" Mom asks. "Probably not, I don't think so at least." I reply walking around the room. "I hope they don't it seems like they're giving you false hope." She says. "I don't think so, what Patti has told me has been true, or at least Keaton has said it is." "Why do you call him Keaton? He's your dad." Jake states. I look at him. "It's a habit, I'm sorry." I laugh nervously. "She will call me her father when she is ready." Keaton stands up, stretching his legs out. "I hope you don't get yourself in any trouble with these people." Mom mumbles under her breath. "Your lucky you aren't in trouble for keeping Keaton away from me. I always thought Michael was my father, false hope huh?" I scoff. "Hey Har, too far." Jake says. "No Jake," I shake my head. "I wish it doesn't have to be like this mom. I really do. I just want to be okay with this but I'm not, lying to me about who's my dad all my life. I can't just forget that. I'm sorry."

I didn't give mom the time to talk back between the time I was in the room and to the time they separated us into different rooms. They must not want me knowing something. I don't know what, but hopefully I will soon.

As much as Harlyn and Keaton should be our main focus, I can't help but notice how down Emerson has been lately. We've always been close, but I've never seen him this lonely. Sure he has us with him, but he doesn't have who he wants here too. I wish I could help him stay out of this funk, but it might not happen. Yesterday he was fine, today he didn't want to help us at all. It's like the clock changed and he doesn't care anymore. I'm scared, and really worried. I've been working on my light powers, I shut down the entire hotels lighting system. I should be able to do the same at the Dark Fae's base. Kane found out something the other day when we were in a abandoned warehouse that he can make tree stump spikes indoors. Aspen can blow down two walls in one swift movement. Mack can basically do it all but her main focus is the invisibility. Emerson is going to be our health care provider as we do this mission. Nick is a fire Fae he's still thinking of what to do to help us other than getting us into the base. So far we're almost there, it's all up to Emerson at this point.

"Are we ready to go now?" Kane asks. We all look at Emerson who has bags under his eyes. "What?" He mumbles. "Are we ready to rescue Harlyn and Keaton?" Aspen repeats looking straight into Emerson's eyes. "Sure." He says getting up slowly. "Hey!" Mack shouts. "We get it Emerson. You miss Harlyn on a different level than us. But that doesn't give you the right to slump around. Stand up straight, and let's focus on getting your girl." Emerson stares at Mack in shock, like everyone else. Emerson clears his throat. "Okay."

Harlyn

I've been alone for over two hours. I've spent a lot of time thinking. About everything that has been happening while I'm here with the Dark Fae's. They're just like us but they're broken, they don't know how to live a happy life. I feel as if I should stay, and show them that they can be happy again. Light again, as long as the believe. But I can't leave my Light Fae's. As much as I want to help the Fae's here, I can't Keaton wouldn't allow it. Maybe we can make a arrangement to bring a group of Dark Fae's to where we are staying next to experience how we live our lives and Light Fae's come here to learn. I know it's really risky. But we need to make an alliance.
