CHAPTER ELEVEN

Even though my heart had already made its decision, I still had a few technical questions, and then I would give them their highly anticipated answer. The thought of making it official caused elation to spiral through me, reaching the furthest corners of my soul. This felt as right as being by Gabriel’s side.

After Iris’ invitation to continue with my questioning, I fired away. “School is important to me,” I began. “It always has been. I’m an artist and had planned on making that my way of income, but I’d at least like to have a high school diploma.” This question was just as much for me as it was my parents.

“No problem,” Iris replied. “We can enroll you in a program to finish your courses through mail.”

“I can do that?”

“That’s how Colton finished.”

Colton gave a nod of agreement. Do the guys ever speak? I wondered. What a change from the guys at Midland. I would miss them. Deeply. This departure wouldn’t be without heartache, for sure. Oh, but how much I was gaining.

“He was the last one to join our family two years ago.”

“We have a mailing address?” I persisted.

Iris caught on to the fact that I’d said “we,” and her lips twitched with a smile. “PO Boxes. Don’t worry. We have it handled.”

“One more,” I said, eager to get the questions over with so we could all hang for a while before I had to get back. And hopefully, Gabriel and I would have time together in private.

“Sure, dear.”

“Any tips for telling my parents I’ll be dropping out of school and living with a group of people they’ve never met?”

I didn’t mean the question to be funny, but the others chuckled all the same. Even the bird cooed a sound like laughter. But not Gabriel; he remained faithfully stoic, although I wondered if he was laughing on the inside. I guess it was kind of funny… until I actually had to tell my parents. Lord knows how my dad would react; witches might be the least of our problems.

Piper took the lead on this one. “Once you tell them you’re immortal, everything else won’t seem as shocking.”

Colton piped up for the first time, his voice dark and raspy – exactly how I’d expected it to sound. “Living with a group of immortals will seem the natural thing to do. It won’t be as hard on them as you think.”

In theory, I lamented, and I noticed Brad, Aubrey and Raymond seemed indifferent to the subject.

“Don’t worry about that either, Kat,” Iris soothed. “We’ll all travel to wherever it is you need to go to tell your parents, set up camp, and be there for support.”

“And meet your parents, if you wish,” Kai added.

Not a bad idea. That might ease my parents’ minds. Might. “Oh, and one more thing,” I said, thinking of Sam.

“Sure,” Iris said. “And then we can have a little fun before you leave us.”

The others perked at the suggestion. I perked, as well. What in
