Omega Moon {Completed}

Chapter 36- Childhood

Genevieve POV

Oh my God it was good to get some fresh air. Plus Katherine was about to explode if I was to keep her cooped up in that small bedroom again for any longer.

'Damn right, I was going to!' Katherine agreed as I walked hand in hand with Zac.

'Okay, calm down Katherine..' I replied softly.

'I am calm.' I could hint at a smile in her words even though I couldn't see her.

"We're coming close to my family's block. This is going to be ours one day." Zac said proudly as we walked up a dusty driveway with large trees either side.

"Is it just your dad at home?" I had to ask, Zac never really talked about his family much.

"Yes. My mother died after my sister was born, about two months after. Then about eight years later my sister died." He replied sadly as the house came into view.

It was a small bluestone cottage that looked beautiful with the sun glistening off the still slightly frosty grass where the sun hasn't been able to reach though the thick trees.

To my right was an old black Holden 70 EH parked in front of a small wooden shed, then next to that was a wooden swing tied in the tree.

"So this is where you grew up?" I asked.

"Yeah, Raph and I would always muck around in the cubby house up in the tree with the swing. We built it together and personally I have no idea how on earth it's still in one piece..." He laughed as he shook his head.

I continued to try and catch a glimpse at the tree house but before I could see it Zac pulled my hand and led me to the front door.

"Knock, knock!" He yelled at the door.

The shuffle of feet and groaning floor boards greeted his voice as we stood waiting for the door to open.

"I wonder who that could be." Said a voice behind the door which sounded so much like Zac's just wiser and older.

The door opened to reveal an average sized midforty-year-old man in jeans and a Star Wars t-shirt. He was going slightly bald at the back of his head and his grey hairs were starting to show through the dark brown of his hair, but other than that he looked a lot better than I had first expected.

"Hey Dad," Zac smiled and gave him a hug in the doorway.

"Hey Pippy, you took your time in coming to see me. I came back when I got the message you were missing, then when you miraculously appear again you don't even come to see your old man. I seriously thought I had taught u better my son..." His dad shook his head in shame.

"Yeah I'm really sorry about that, I was a little bit preoccupied. I have much news to tell you and show u." Zac said excitedly.

"Haha okay, but first lets get you two seated inside where your friend can sit down before she falls over." He politely stood back and let us in.

I walked straight over to the couch and sat as vertigo hit me just like Zac's dad said it was going to.

"Now who's your friend Zac?" He asked.

"Dad this is Genevieve, Evie this is my dad, Peter." Zac introduced.

"Hello Genevieve, it's nice to meet you." He said with a smile as if he could sense the fact that Zac and I were mates.

"Now don't tell me anymore Pippy, let me guess please." He begged and Zac just nodded for him to continue. "I'm guessing this gorgeous red haired girl is your mate?"
