Charlie

The first thing I had to figure out was how I would follow Jax and Tristan without them seeing me. I sat at the dinner table with my parents, pondering the best way to go about it. I must have some supernatural powers that could assist? My parents took a slug of O-neg each and a look crossed between them.

“What?”

“You’re very quiet, Charlene, and you’re not a quiet child, so either something ails you or you are plotting to get up to no good.” Dad replied. “And you’ve blocked your thoughts, so I can’t read them.”

“Well, duh, Dad. Here, tell you what I’ll let my shields down especially for you.” I dropped them and fantasised about having Kai’s tongue firmly down my throat.

My dad fell off his seat and onto the floor.

Mum smirked. “Charlie, I can guess what you just did and that’s not nice. Plus, if you want your father off your back, maybe letting him in on how you’re feeling about a certain boy isn’t the best idea.”

“So, you read my mind too, huh? ‘Guessed’, my arse.”

“Watch how you are speaking to your parents, Charlene Landry.” My dad was back on his seat, arms folded across his chest.

I took a bite of my burger and followed it with a glug of blood. Being of mixed species, I had to cater for everything in my diet. Hey, I wondered if I could go invisible?

I closed my eyes and tried to imagine that my parents couldn’t see me.

My form has disappeared from view. I am now invisible.

I must have been trying too hard because when I opened my eyes my mum was frowning at me.

“Do you need the toilet, hun, because you can be excused from the table?”

“Ew, no. I was wondering if I could go invisible.”

“We’re supernatural, not superhero characters, sweetheart. I don’t know any of our species that can disappear, except for your grandmother when she’s not substantial enough. Now even if you can tap into that, you’d have to be almost out of energy to do so, which is not a position you should ever put yourself in. It would be far too dangerous.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” I slumped at the table with my head resting on my chin.

“The question you should be asking, wife, is why our daughter wishes to go invisible.”

“It’s best not to wonder too much about the workings of a teenage mind and just hope for the best.” Mum turned to me. “Not only have you teenagedom to get through, I’m guessing you’re wanting to test your powers? Just remember to do the protection spells I taught you first. After that, I guess the best way to learn is by trial and error.”

“I suppose your method of childproofing would be to let her stick her hand in the fire and find out it’s hot.”

Mum glared at my dad. “We could be on the brink of the war Ebony has spoken about, thanks to my adoptive parents. Our daughter is our prophecised saviour. Unfortunately, no matter how much I want to protect her, she’s got to stand on her own two feet.
