"You're going to be the death of me you know that?"

"I hope you're not being literal because I'd never kill you."

"Duh. Do you really have to go? I'm feeling like such a bad guardian." Jenna sighs as she lets herself fall in my bed next to my opened traveling bag.

"Why? As you said, I'm about 33 or so." I wave it off. What? I am. Besides, it's not like she can stop me.

"Yeah but that was one time. What about school?"

"What about it?" I ask confused as I put a few shirts in the bag and then turn to my closet again.

"You skipped the last... I don't know... Month? Year?"

"Honestly I'm not really concerned about school," I say simply as I grab a couple of jeans.

"Fine... You're eighteen anyway, here. But I refuse to let Jeremy go." She tells me sternly.

"He doesn't need to anyway."

"Good."

"It's only going to be me, Kol, Ty, Care, and D."

"You're taking Davina?!" She screeches standing up. Oops.

"She asked to go, Jenny. What was I supposed to say?" I ask her shrugging.

"No would be something to start with." Jenny buffs and I give her a thoughtful look then proceed to say,

"I did start with No." I tell her, "No way in hell, am I going to say no."

"Seriously El?"

"What? You've seen her puppy eyes. She could get you to do anything." I say and she nods conceding me that reasoning but then gives a blank look.

"She's sixteen."

"But she has witchy juju," I say.

"If anything goes wrong she's coming home." She tells me sternly.

"Of course. BTW haven't heard from you and Rickman. How is everything?"

"It's going great, I'm thinking of asking him to move in. That's alright, right?" She questions running a hand through her hair.

"Duh. He basically lives here already. When is he going to put a ring on it?"

"I don't know..." Jenna sighs.

"Do you want to marry him and have his Ricky babies?"

"Duh."

"Then ask him yourself," I tell her simply.

"I can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"Because..."

"See? You can."

"I'll think about it." She sighs and gets up heading to the door.

"I'll come to say goodbye when we're leaving," I tell her.

"Alright. See you later El." She smiles and then gets out of my room only for me to see JJ coming in. It's like I'm going to start booking appointments...

"You're leaving today right?" He asks and I nod, "Can't I come too?"

"I'm really sorry Remy but Jenny said no and honestly it's dangerous."

"We haven't hung out in so long..." He drawls, "Just you and me."

"You're right." I gasp, "I have been neglecting my one and only brother." I say dramatically and then proceed to take fainting in my bed.

"Do not worry sister that I don't hold it against you." He says as dramatically as I sit up grinning. "I got back together with Anna. She moved back a few days ago and we decided to give it another try." Did I forget to mention they broke up? Hmmm. Well, now you know. It was because of the long-distance, yadda, yadda.

"They moved back?" I ask curiously.

"Oh yeah. Pearl missed it here and Anna missed me, I guess." He says shyly. Aww.

"That's great Jer." I beam. I have now given up on packing my stuff. Everyone keeps interrupting me anyway... "Look, when I come back we'll have a sibling bond day or we could just take a trip together," I say and he grins.

"Sounds great. I'll leave you to packing, I'm going to hang with Anna." He says then hugs me and goes away.

"USE PROTECTION!!" I scream after him and he laughs. I was serious though...

After that, I continued packing but guess what? If you guessed I got interrupted again then you're a hundred percent right. But this time it was my phone ringing obnoxiously. Guess who called?

"Ocean Eyes!" I greet him with a smile that he can't see because we're on the phone. We're back to normal again and I couldn't be happier...

"Hey Chaos." He says and I can hear him smirk. He calls me that since he found out I was the Goddess of Chaos. But I guess that's pretty self-explanatory.

"Where are you?" I ask curiously.

"I'm in Paris with Kathrine and her daughter." He says and I feel my stomach twist.

"Kitty Kat?" I ask.

"Yeah. Look El, I know this is weird and everything, but you were right."

"About what?" I ask hi my voice void of emotion.

"About me still loving her. Or at least be attracted to her." He says and then sighs, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I put you through. It wasn't fair on you."

"That's water under the bridge Day," I say with a sad smile.

"I thought I should say it anyway." He mutters.

"How's Kitty Kat?" I ask trying to change the subject, "Last I heard she was in Dubai with Nadia."

"She's different. I think freedom and finding her daughter helped her get rid of some of her flaws. She says she's over Stefan. That she saw how happy he was and decided to just move on."

"Well, that's something I didn't expect..." I mumble.

"Me neither." He says. "Anyway, what's this I hear about you going to Nova Scotia to kill an immortal and going on a killing spree in Oregon?"

"It's exactly what you just said." I tell him, "Remember how we went to kill Professor Shady Pants?"

"Yeah."

"We're going to kill the one he was trying to free."

"Stef's double?"

"Technically it's the other way around, but yeah."

"Be careful, El." He says and I smile.

"You too, Day," I reply as then hang up.

Afterward, I finished packing without interruptions. It's been a week since the Ball and me and Kol have been planning the trip. Here's what we came up with: let's wing it. And that's what we're going to do. We leave today in a private airplane to Nova Scotia. From there I'm not sure whether we'll wait a bit and annoy the sights or just get it done with... Anyway, me, Kol, Ty, Care, and D, are meeting in the Grill and going together to the airport (by apparating).

So I grabbed my bag shrunk it and got it into my back pocket. Then like any sane person, I apparated to the bathroom of the Grill and was met by a really loud screech that made me scream.

"What- How- Huh?" The red-headed I just separated next to stammered.

"Hey. Uh, would you mind forgetting what happened?" I ask her.

"Forget what?" She asks obliviously. It worked!

"Exactment. Bye now." I wave at her and walk out of the bathroom. As I do I spot Ty and Kol on a table with Care and D in front of them. Huh. I'm late. So I walk over to them.

"How you doin'?" I ask channeling my inner Joey.

"You're late Els," Care says with her eyes narrowed. She's still a control freak. I couldn't really change that.

"I know Care and I'm so sorry. Cross my heart and hope to not die that I'll never be late again. Actually, I take that back." I say after some thought.

"Relax, darling, no need to fret," Kol smirks and I'm fangirling. Ha said relax darling. Aaahh.

"Oh, I'm not fretting. I'm just being dramatic. It's my nature." I tell him.

"Can we get going?" Ty asks. We all nod and get out of the Grill into an abandoned alley. Everyone gives hands and poof! We're at the airport. Afterward, we just walk over to the private jet and everyone is gawking at it. I'll explain why, if it isn't obvious. I'm gawking because I'm dreading the flight. It's not fear or anything is just that I get this stupid headache and beeping in my ears. Davina and Caroline are gawking cause it's fancy and all ours. Tyler isn't really gawking. He's kind of bored actually. I guess he's used to private jets being rich and all. Kol has his jaw dropped (he's so cute!) because he's never seen a real airplane. I mean, he's been stuck in a box for the last century. Poor him.

After we get into the airplane Tyler announces he's going to sleep so he sleeps. Meanwhile, Caroline, Vina, Kol, and I sit down in four chars that are facing each other and start a game of bullshit.

Speaking of bullshit last week's game with the Gods needs to be related. Not fully because that would be boring but somewhat. Anyway, we were playing bullshit on Mars and a new God appeared. It was an Olympian. Apparently, our card games have sparked interest in other gods.

That or they're curious about me. Either way, we have a new player. It's Poseidon. Yay! He's actually pretty fun even if somewhat broody like Steffy Cool Jacket.

But obviously, that's not the interesting part. The part of that night that sparked my interest is that Percy Jackson is actually real. He and the rest of his click. They're just from another universe. How cool is that?

Poseidon also said that right now he's been introduced to the Half-Blood Camp which means that when half-goat, pretty eyes, and ocean boy come to the Underworld I'll get to meet them. I'm not really going to mess with their story or meddle but who doesn't want to meet the three of them? That's what I thought.

So that was the game last week. Now moving on. We're a few hours away now and Caroline and D fell asleep. How convenient. So I and Kol moved over to another part of the place so we don't bother them.

"So wait. You're from another universe, right?" Kol asks me suddenly and I frown and nod. "But why did you travel back in time? Why not be reborn in the year you died?"

"That's a good question. Hades told me time is relative for the gods. If they want they can accelerate a universe or vice versa."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember that movie I showed you? Harry Potter?"

"With the useless bastard who can't kill a baby?"

"That's the one. If I wanted I could travel there. And I would be in the nineties. Or I could travel to the seventies still in the same universe. I could choose any point in time. It's relative." I tell him and he nods.

"That's wicked." He grins, "You never talk about your family." He says suddenly. What's with the deep topics? Can't we talk about food or rainbows?

"There's not much to talk about. Besides, I could say the same thing of you." I reply.

"But you already know everything." He smirks back and I scowl.

"You know everything too. Parents are dead. I live with my aunt and Brother. That's pretty much it."

"But I wasn't talking about that family, darling."

"If you're talking about the Gods I'm always talking about them."

"I meant you're old family. You never talk about your past life." He says and I gulp and look away.

"I just don't like bringing it up. And no one ever did so I don't bother." I shrug. My past daily was amazing and to remember I won't see them again I prefer to keep it buried. Just like I do everything I don't want to feel.

"I'm bringing it up now," Kol says and I grimace.

"I don't feel like talking about it." I shrug.

"I won't pressure you darling but it isn't good to keep things bottled up."  He says and I scoff.

"Look who's talking. I am not the only one to sweep everything under the rug. We all do it. I can do it more than others. But you certainly do it too." I snap.

"Maybe that's because no one ever bothers to listen." He says with his jaw clenched.

"I'll listen. I'm a good listener." I tell him.

"You're also cunning, darling. You just turned the table." He says and I have bite down a smirk. Slimy git. He knows me we. "I'm a good listener too, Alma."

"That doesn't matter if none of us are good at speaking about our feelings so can we just move on and watch a movie?" I ask and he looks at me for a while before nodding and saying it's my choice. So I put Star Wars and we watch the first (the older ones, so the first to be made) two movies for the rest of the flight totally putting the conversation we just had under the rug.

It's true. I bottle things up. But what else am I supposed to do? Pull an Elena? NO. I'm not going to whine about how I miss my family or how... I'm not doing this sentimental crap. I don't ducking do sensitive. At least not emotions directed towards me. I did that once or twice since I'm here and felt like crap both times. It's not happening again. And if eventually water starts pooling out of my eyes and I explode it will be in the continents of the Underworld. Maybe on a cave in Russia. Or in Jupiter. The point is I'm not going to have an audience.
