Chapter 19

Later that night, we gathered around the TV watching the Weather Channel while Hurricane Faye churned closer and closer out in the Atlantic. Classes had been cancelled for Monday since the eye was supposed to make landfall mid-morning. The weather was forecasted to go downhill swiftly overnight as Faye approached. According to Carmen, the shield around campus kept the storm surge out, but the full force of the wind and rain would still hit us. The Weather Channel had meteorologists stationed up and down the coast, but not on Bald Head. We’d have a front row seat anyway, so we didn’t need to watch a meteorologist getting blown around on television to know what was going on outside. I had to admit, I was a little bit giddy, having never been through a hurricane before. Dee had called an hour ago worried out of her mind. I couldn’t explain the shield around campus, but I told her there was nothing to worry about, that the school had been here for centuries and we’d be fine. I thought I calmed her down, but I was still expecting several more hysterical calls tomorrow.

“What about this one?” Phoebe skipped out of her room. She’d been trying on dresses all night, parading around the living room for our opinions. Ian had, in fact, asked her to the Ball and after spending the entire day with him, she announced she was no longer creeped out by him. Finn still hasn’t asked me and I wasn’t real optimistic that he was planning to. Especially since he’d never been to one. But maybe that’s because he had never had someone he wanted to ask. Who am I kidding, there’s no way he’s gone through school without a girlfriend. Instead of picturing Finn with another girl, which inadvertently made my blood pressure rise, I tried to concentrate on Phoebe’s newest dress. It wasn’t my style, but somehow it worked for her. It was bright pink, strapless, and very short. From the waistline, it puffed out in several layers giving it a very 80’s look.

“Maybe if you were Cindy Lauper,” Carmen wrinkled her nose at it. Willow smacked her arm and gave her a look. Carmen shrugged her shoulders innocently, “What? She said to be honest.”

“She’s right, it’s a little much. Maybe something longer would be better...” Phoebe thought out loud and then disappeared back into her bedroom.

“Did you guys hear that Keto was planning to visit Lorelei, but had to wait because of the hurricane?” Willow asked.

“Keto is who the Sirens are descended from, right?” I said, proud of myself for remembering something.

“Yep, and she’s the leader of the Nerieds now. And therefore the leader of both the Tydes and Sirens. So she’s kind of a big deal.” Carmen told me.

“We’re doing a paper on Thetis and Kymo in History and one of the girls said that Thetis used to be the leader? What happened to her?”

“Willow, you want to take that one?” Carmen deflected. Willow looked up from her laptop.
