Chapter 1.41: Words of Wisdom

"I can't believe you are actually having this baby," Allen said, looking at my stomach like it was something evil. "Why didn't you abort it?" he demanded to know.

"Allen! I can't believe you said that! God, I would never abort Seth's baby!" I said, glaring at him. Allen has been my best friend for years, but ever since I told him about Seth's baby he's been acting even moodier than normal. "What's gotten into you?" I asked.

"You don't even know him! Have you even met his parents? Seriously Issy, don't you think it's a little sketchy how they have all that money and you haven't even met their parents?" Allen asked me. I did find it a little strange, but at the same time I wasn't going to pry into something that wasn't my business.

"Are you going to my mom's party this evening?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Wow, not even going to answer my questions? What are they doing to you over there?" Allen asked, shaking his head. "Yeah, I'll be there," he eventually said. "Look, I'm not trying to upset you. I just don't trust them, and you are only sixteen. You're birthday is in a couple of weeks, but still this is so big. Promise me that you will be careful," he said.

"I promise," I said.

    Hmmm... I am trying to understand if that was her moms party. And there was an alien there? Does Allen like her as more than a friend? So he's jealous? But he does bring up some good points about Seths parents.

    Allen made some good points about Seth's family, I hope Isobel listens to him. Not about aborting the baby, but about getting to know the family she's about to join better.

Chapter 1.47: A Tragic Past

Tabitha "Daddy, can we talk?" I asked. I kept thinking about what I overheard mother saying to this boy, and I couldn't believe it. If what she said was true, then I had two siblings I didn't know about and it was kind of upsetting. All I've ever been told was that I was an only child, and now it's like my whole world turned upside down. "Yes sweetheart?" Daddy asked, smiling at me. I always loved how he talked to me, like I was the only thing that mattered. I smiled, but then shook my head. "Who are Joseph and Valentine?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to hear but I sure didn't expect to see the color drain from his face. He looked genuinely afraid, but of what? "Where did you hear about them?" Daddy asked me, and I frowned. "Mother was talking to someone, I think his name was Hayden or something?" I asked, shrugging. The boy wasn't important but the names were, the names of

Authors Note: This chapter starts Serene into the story, or more accurately her point of view. Now that Toby is dead, she officially gets her debut! Also, their wonderful new house they live in is thanks to Glenkarri from the D.N.A team! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mama decided it was best if they move, because papa and the old house was too sad. The old house was filled with the haunting old tunes of the piano, the laughter from when he told us silly jokes and the sweet sound of his voice when he read her bedtime stories. This house, it meant nothing to Serene. It wasn't where her papa was, and it wasn't where she wanted to be.    This house made her feel so lonely, so alone. She had been so sad, and cried all the time at first but now she was angry. She was so angry at her mama; it was all her fault that papa died. Serene had heard something, a very bad something and it changed everything.  --------------

Valentine "Umm, I don't know. I wasn't there when my papa died. Why are you asking all these questions?" Serene asked me. I couldn't really tell a ten year old that I wasn't sure why her father died. Hell, I couldn't tell her anything because I didn't want her to say anything to anyone. The last thing I needed was something to happen to Isobel's little sister. "Just making sure everything in the case is all good to go," I said, smiling. I really hoped Serene isn't that bright, maybe my bullshit lie won't be seen through and I can convince her not to worry. "Really, I'm just doing my job. Rookie work, ya know?" I said. "So, nothing new came up?" Serene asked. I had to admit I was surprised by her question, maybe she knew something wasn't adding up and she could help me. "You live with my sister right?" she asked. "Yeah," I answered. "Keeping her safe?"
