He then said, "Hello Deejay."
I took a deep breath. I said, "Who are you?"
He said, "You know me Jay."
I bit my lip. No way this is actually my dad. I said, "Dad?"
He said nothing. I ended the call. I could not deal with this. Silver comes down and said, "Can we get a game to play on the TV?"
I nodded. He went back up and told everyone. They came down the stairs. I said, "Shoes on. We are going to the game store."
They put their shoes on. Lynch had a little bit of trouble. I said, "Do you need some help Lynch?"
He nodded. I helped him. I put on some shoes and grabbed the keys from the wicker basket. I looked back at it. What the? The basket was now marble. What happened to the wicker basket? I shook my head. That is for another time.
We drove to the game store. We got out. Jack and Lynch held each held my hand. Silver held Lynch's hand. We walked in. I let them look. I said, "Do not grab at everything."
They found a game. It was a four player game. We had everything we need to play it. I nodded. Silver looked over the counter and put it on. The man who worked at the register looked suspicious. I then walked up with the other. He scanned the barcode. I paid and we left with the game. We got back home and I set the game up.
It was a mario game. They all played and I watched. I played when they had to go grab something. We played until it was dinner time. I said, "You guys hungry?"
They nodded. We ate and I said, "You guys can sleep in my bed."
Silver said, "Can you stay in the room with us?"
I nodded. They went and changed. They all wore their own clothes. I helped them onto the bed. I untucked the comforter and tucked them in. I kissed Silver goodnight. I said goodnight to the others. I then closed the door. I sat in the egg and turned on my dim lamp. They fell asleep. Their cute sleeping faces. I smiled at them. I got a text. It was from Liam. The conversation went like this...
Liam:Hey Deejay.
Me:Hey Liam.
Liam:What are you doing right now?
Me:Reading my newest book.
Liam:Sound fun. What is it about so far?
Me:A dude got murdered and a PI is figuring out how the dude died. I am not spoiling the book for you.
Liam:Haha. Thanks for that.
We talked for a few more minutes. Silver then began to twist and turn. He woke up and had tears rolling down his eyes. I looked at him. He crawled over to me. He said, "I had a nightmare Jay."
I picked him up and put him on my lap. I positioned him so he could fall asleep. I rocked him on the egg. He fell asleep clutching my hand. I put my glasses down and went to bed.

I kept seeing the masked figure every now and then. This continued until it was time for me to leave. Silver was going to be staying with Celina. She would hire a babysitter that Jack usually had. I waved my goodbyes to him as I drove off. He looked sad but happy at the same time.
I arrived at Lilith Academy. Dallas walked up to me. Not this jerk. I managed to dodge him quite a bit. He wrapped his arm around my waist. He said, "Good seeing you again princess."
I took his hand off my waist. I grabbed my things. He said, "Need help princess?"
I had everything and closed the trunk door. I said, "No. I got it."
I walked up to the reception lady. She handed me a key card. I took it and found my room. I entered. The room was massage. It had a tree in the middle. The branches making the ceiling. The leaf's of the tree hung down. There were vines on the wall with white flowers blooming from it. It smell good in here. I found the mahogany dresser. It had roses carved in. The roses were painted in. Each one a different color. I placed my things in. I check out my bed. It was made out of the tree. I hopped on the bed. It was nice and soft. It bounced nicely and supported my weight. Something began to vibrate. I found it was a smartphone on the bedside table. I took out my phone. I tried to turn it on.
But it did nothing. I tried plugging it in. Nothing. I plugged in the other smart phone. Instantly worked. I guess my phone is not going to work here then. I check the phone. It had a message. It was from the dean. It said, "Please go to the meeting room. Sit in your assigned seats."
I got out of my room and found the meeting room. There was 10 chairs lined up. Mine was all the way at the end. I sat down in my chair. People came in after that. When everyone sat down someone came out. And guess who it was...
