Chapter Nine

Lissa sat there chewing her food, but it had no taste. She watched as each person introduced themselves and what they were to Leda, while Leda took notes and ate. Every once in a while she would glance at her, and Lissa would smile, encouraging her to ask whatever she wanted. Yet at the same time, she wanted to drag Leda out of the dining room, and protect her from the truths that were being unveiled for her.

Pierre’s deep baritone voice drew her attention, and out of her fog. He was introducing himself and explaining what he was. A piece of carrot cake was placed in front of her, when she glanced up to see Cecil there. “I’m sorry Lissa, I didn’t mean to come off as if I was attacking your friend. Do you forgive me?”

She stared down at the carrot cake and grinned. “If you keep making carrot cakes, honey, I’ll forgive anything.” Lissa laughed, and patted her hand.

“I think with everything going on, Cecil, we’re all on edge. Every time we turn the corner, something new is being thrown at us. I guess it’s getting to us all.”

Cecil hissed, her forked tongue snaked out. “You can say that again. I would have liked to find out I was caring our children the normal way, not announced in the middle of the room.” Cecil rubbed her stomach as Clayton moved in behind her and hugged her.

Leda turned in her chair and looked at the both of them. “Okay question. If this island is going to be some new realm, and all of you are going to be part of it, why help the rest of us who are stuck here? Because I can promise you right now everyone is going to be asking this. I mean to leave behind the fighting and the deaths. Who wouldn’t.”

Pierre picked Lissa up and sat down in her seat with her on top of his lap. “That’s easy, we’ve lived here all our lives Leda. Our families and friends are here, how could we not help protect them. Plus, if I’m not mistaken, part of your world will be coming with us, at least this is what I believe. No one is for sure on anything right now.” Pierre cut the cake and fed her a bite of it. The cake literally melted in her mouth. The taste of the cream cheese frosting and carrots lit up her taste buds, and Lissa moaned.

“Damn Cecil, this is the best. Okay for birthdays, anniversaries, anything, let it be known that Cecil’s carrot cake is what I want.” She grabbed the fork from Pierre, and scooped up a piece for Leda, offering her a bite.

Leda leaned over taking the bite, closing her eyes. “Okay, forget the guys. Honey, if you bake like this all the time, I’ll be your best friend for life.” Leda tried to take another piece, but Lissa pulled her cake away.

“Get your own.” Lissa teased, when Cecil put a piece in front of Leda.
