Always and Forever

Chapter 6- I Was Happy

Lily's POV~

The monster trap worked. Thanks to my speed, I got there before Dad, Hope, and Dorian.

When they walk up I look at my dad. "I know this is important but you couldn't put pants on first?" I ask and he points to Hope and I, "You two. It's too early for your snarky comments. Shut it." I hold my hands up in defense. Dorian speaks, "Looks like one of our horses got out" I nod, "That's what I thought too. But then I remembered we don't have a white horse. And this one has a-" before I can finish my sentence it turns around. "Its a unicorn." Hope says and Dad goes to shoot it.

"Woah wait!" I say and Hope and I get in front of them. "It's a monster, girls, it's here to take the artifact." "You are seriously not suggesting that we kill a unicorn!" Hope says with a distorted face. "I'm saying we shouldn't give it a pass because it's cute." Dorian states looking at us like we're crazy. "Can't we just leave it alone. It's trapped it's harmless" I say and my dad nods. "Lily's right. If we keep it alive no other monster will come for the urn. So we stay alert and let it be."

"Okay well, I'm gonna go stay alert in bed." I say and then vanish.

I was walking up to Hope, Landon, Rafael, and my sisters when dad finished announcing the talent show was canceled. "Kind of overkill if you ask me. I told your dad that a unicorn market counts as a monster." Hope says and my eyes almost pop out of their sockets. "Hope! Why would you tell them!" Hope gets up and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Relax love, you've seen it, it's harmless." She says and kisses my cheek.

I give her a confused face and put my hand on her forehead, "Are you feeling okay? You're acting, I don't know openly cheerful. You usually only act like that near me." and she swats my hand away before bear-hugging me. "Relax little star, I just woke up on the good side of the bed this morning and decided to show it." and then she pulls away and walks out of the room. I simply follow her. Suddenly I felt really... Happy.

"Hey, we should do a talent." Hope says looking at Landon and I. "Yeah, we've never really wanted to because there were only two of us. But now we have the tribrid, the hybrid and whatever it is you are." I say agreeing with Hope. "Okay, yeah sure. Team other." He agrees and Hope and I high five.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, the talent show is back on, and the witches are setting up. Hope and I are with a small group having fun when Josie walks up. "Hey have either of you seen the stupid canes? Lizzie was asking me to find them." "You seem very anti-cane," Hope says leaning her head on my shoulder.

"No, just very anti doing the same thing every year." Josie says and I nod. "Then don't. Lizzie's not a dictator, change it up. Sing! You have a lovely voice." I say and smile. "We'll keep an eye out. But, I think someone has an eye out for you" Hope says point behind my sister, Penelope is walking to us. "Oh dear god hide me," Josie says and she hides behind me. But it doesn't work. Penelope walks up and hands Josie a note. "Just, read it in private." Josie takes it and stands up. "I won't be reading it at all." and Penelope walks away.

"So sis, what do you think it says? Check this box if you wanna kiss me, check that box if you want to kill me?" I say standing up. "I don't know and I don't want to find out." she says and Hope replies "If you need me to help you smite the she-devil, I got you, girl." and i bounce up and down "Oh yes! Finally, I've been dying for an excuse to use this spell Aunt Bonnie said the Gemini coven liked to use."
