Forever would be too soon

“With a boat on water! I know shocking.” Edward smirked.

“I’m asking are we finally going home?”

    Everyone got silent as if I just became lionize. I looked around and they just looked back. The kids remained confused.

“Why is that shocking you guys? Ed did you tell him he couldn’t?” Aveline asked.

“A-ave I did no such thing lass, I might have told him killing is more important than feelings but I never told him he couldn’t.”

“But you said he shouldn’t didn’t you?”

“If I told crazy old hag to be sane doesn’t mean she will.”

“That’s your comeback?”

“Aye it was mighty clever.”

“When we we’re four.”

    I signaled the children to follow and we leaped on Edward, as we tickled and rubbed our knuckles into him the room filled with our laughter. Then I heard what sounded like a croak and got quiet and then I heard it. Edward was laughing at us we actually made him laugh this time. It felt good to be the reason everyone is happy. Right this is why I wanted to be an assassin. We took the potion and hurried back to the ship. Sailing at max knots we made our way back through the states gates and enter the docks. During that time we changed into our modern looking clothes which mean hoodies for everyone! With my book bag on shoulder I run down the plank towards the docks and through the crowd. I hear a female voice calling my name and finally see [Name]!

     I snuggled her into the deepest hug I could muster with my current strength and state. As I spun her in the air I heard the same voice calling my name. That’s when I noticed it does not belong to her. Angie runs up behind me and I place [Name] down. Confused she looks at Angie with a skeptical look on her face and then to me. Angie reaches out for my forearm and holds me.

“Who’s after you? Where are they?” I ask more serious and reaching for my tomahawk.

“No sweetie I’m here to elope with you. Forever in that swamp would be too soon.”

“Forever would be too soon.” I murmured after her.

“Sweetie?” Lil lady scowled.

Part 2

    It was awkward after that. I shook her off my arm and stepped back from the both of them. Everyone else took this as the chance to speak to me and welcome us back. Ave, Ed, [Name], and I get in a car together. Angie is being told off by one of my uncles. We get to the restaurant. It’s changed a little it has the same style and colors but the wood work must have been replaced and a few rugs are missing. We go upstairs to grandpa’s room which has flowers and unopened gifts all over. Kneel down beside the bed using my elbow to steady me. Everyone stood po-faced in a line at the end of the bed. I sedately touch his hand hoping to not alarm him when I give him the medicine. He stirs slightly and turns his head to me as he tries to open his eyes. The four of us hold our breath as he looks at each and every one of us. Those eyes that see everything; he’s in eagle vision.

“Grandpa please rest.” I ask deferent.

“Hello children it warms my heart to see you all together again.” Grandpa coughs.

“As stubborn as ever old man.” Edward looks away.

“Stubborn? Connor slap him.” Grandpa croaks.

    We all laugh at that last part. I pull out the pouch the potion is in and pass it to Grandpa. He shakes it a bit and eyes it a little. We watch sedately awaiting for him to drink it. He places it down on the bed and snuggles down.

“Grandpa…”I call out and he looks at me. “…I will take a straw and force feed you.” I attempt in my Walking dead voice.

   I had seen already that a straw was on the bed side table. As I reached for it he chugged the potion while pinching his nose. I forgot that it was made in a swamp no wonder he didn’t want to take it. Lil lady walks over and slaps me. I stubble back not just out of shock but the force she put into it was incredible.

“You’re like a little wonder woman.” I mutter.

   I hear Edward snicker but Aveline punches his arm. [Name] just glares at me with her hands on her hips. Oh right I’m in trouble, I guess she really did read my note. Why couldn’t it just get crumbled up in the covers and tear itself to shreds? I rub my cheek and look away her eyes look noxious. Grandpa sits up swiftly and then jumps out of bed running down the hall. We hear a door slam and know he must be in the bathroom. I look towards Aveline for help but she just walks away. Edward pats me on the shoulder as he leaves after her. I hear him push her down the stairs and then the familiar sounds of them fighting. I smile but [Name] hasn’t changed at all.

“You.Left.Without.Saying.Goodbye?” Lil lady yells.

“I just you know…” She growled at me. “…thought of you first?” I reply shyly.

“Why must you always leave and then try to act like this is all for us? For once why don’t you just say that this is what you want?” Her voice softened.

“[Name] if I could stay here with you guys I would. I didn’t choose this path but I won’t stray from it either.” I grasps her shoulders.

    Closer and more focused on her eyes I noticed she looks tired. Was she up late last night? Could she not sleep? Wait those look like the eyes of a recruit actually similar to how I looked when I first became an assassin under Achilles. I wonder where the old man is anyway.

“I’ve missed you, Windrider where have you been?”

    I hear Angie calling my name down stairs before I could answer. I hear a sort of smash sound like a thud and then Aveline harshly whispering something. Did she just hit Angie? I wouldn’t want to go see the lady in the swamp because forever would be too soon but what are we going to do about Angie?
