Chapter 14

The next morning the lack of sleep over the last few days caught up to me, and I ended up staying in bed until almost eleven. Considering I was the kind of person whose body never allowed them to sleep in, that was fairly significant.

I made my way downstairs, yawning, to find Ellie in the kitchen, baking away.

“I figured we could all use something with a bit of an energy boost,” she said in way of greeting. “I only got up about twenty minutes ago, and Sara and Amy are still in bed.”

“Have I ever told you I love you?” I said, plopping myself down on the couch and closing my eyes. After this was over, I was going to sleep for a week.

Ellie laughed. “Hey, I was thinking, have you looked at the schedule for Sara’s race next week?”

“Sort of,” I admitted. “I know Sara’s racing, and so is Derek, but I don’t know who else is going to be there.”

“Karen Voda is going to race,” Ellie said, and my eyebrows rose while my throat went dry.

“Really?” I asked, and Ellie nodded.

“You should talk to her.”

I didn’t reply, just stared at the carpet. A couple of weeks earlier we had discovered that I was born into the coven of Titan, a secretive group that lived on an isolated island in Hawaii that didn’t allow visitors. We had snuck into the place to confirm that it was my coven, and to be completely honest, ever since we had found out about it I had sort of been doing my best to forget it.

Why? Honestly, I wasn’t completely sure of the answer myself. I think a part of me felt like I was betraying my parents – the people who had brought me into their home and raised me as their own, despite not knowing a thing about where I came from – by looking into my biological past. I knew it was silly. There had never been any way for them to track down who my biological family was, and I was sure that if there had been, they would have encouraged me to look into it if I wanted to. But I think another part of me was scared. Worried about what I’d find. What if my biological parents had a new family now? Why had they abandoned me? Would I just feel regret and shame, and wonder why I had been the one abandoned?

The thing was, I had trouble explaining this to the others. Ellie especially was so thrilled about me finding my coven that I just didn’t feel like I should bring the whole mood down by voicing my concerns. A part of me did know that was silly, and that my friends would support me no matter what, but it was my own silly problem to deal with.

“Yeah, maybe,” I eventually muttered noncommittally. Luckily for me, Ellie dropped the subject.

“I texted Barry earlier this morning, telling him we wanted to meet up again. It’s his day off, so he’s in town, and I figure we can go meet with him in a couple of hours.
