Ivy's pov
I finally got Nolan to go to eardrop on those people in the house.
He is so stubborn sometimes.
He was like that since I met him. He always knows what he wants and what are the consequences of things he does.
I never met someone that determent and stubborn in the same time.
When he was 14 years old he said he wanted to fly and touch the clouds in his shadow form. Which is impossible because of the lack of oxygen and pressure, but he did it anyways.
never the less he was in a hospital for about 10 days.
I am now waiting for him to get out here while Daniel and Mark are arguing over who would eat more pizza when we get home. Agh, now I'm hungry.
I'm starting to worry. We are standing there for at least 20 minutes now.
It's not normal for Nolan to eardrop for that long.
He would always feel guilty. He respects people's privacy to much to be there for that long.
What if they saw him?
What if he is in trouble?
"Hey, idiots. Stop with that stupid argument of yours do you not see that Nolan is there for more than 20 minutes. Are you not worried?" I say.
"Ivy, I'm sure that he is fine. He is mora after all. If he is in danger he can just control their minds or literally just hypnotize them." I know Mark was right, but I still felt nervous.
Another 20 minutes later passed and you could see that Daniel and Mark started to worry.
"Do you think he is still in there or is he just toying with us?" Daniel asked while fingering.
"Nolan is not a type of person to just toy with people. He is too shy and self-conscious for that." I know he would not do that and worry us without a reason, but in that moment, I hoped I was wrong. I mean, who would not?
"Do you think we should go in?" said Mark. I thought about it. Maybe we should go in to see what is wrong, but on the other hand there are other people in there and if it's not anything serious we would just uncover him. Plus he will to think we don't trust him.
Which I do trust him. I'm just worried.
"No. Give him another 10 minutes. If we go in and he is okay he will be mad because 'we don't trust him'." I said finally with a bit of hesitation.
"Ok, but if he is not out in 10 minutes we are going in, right?"
"Definitely." Mark and I said in unison.

Nolan's pov
I don't know how long I was just standing there listening to their conversation, but it probably wasn't 15 minutes.
The rest of conversation was pretty much just about politics and counting how many creatures we have in C.C.
It ended up that we have only around 20 thousand Creatures in England. I know there is not nearly as much creatures as there is humans, but that was less then I thought. I thought there is at least 60 thousand of us here.
I saw that their conversation was coming to end, so I went back outside.
I didn't change back until I was sure there is no way they would sense me.
I tried to think about who those men are. One of them looked really familiar, but I just can't remember from where do I know him.
"You, young man are in so much trouble right now. I am here worrying about you for an hour and you don't even look at me when you come out!!" Ohhh, shit. Ivy is mad. Really mad. Her lion eyes were shining bright yellow. Oh, dear Veles help me.
It looks like I was in there for an hour. That's a little bit longer than I thought.
I didn't really know what to say that would not make her mad even more.
"Umm yeah. I'm sorry Ivy."
"Sorry? SORRY!? Tell me what was so fucking important that you needed to be in there FOR. AN. HOUR!" Geez I made it worst. I should of know not to say sorry.
I looked at Mark and Daniel, but they were even more terrified then me.
Okay time to be brave…
"Oh yeah, so there were two men talking. The conversation wasn't that interesting. Just talking about their families and life in general, but I think I know one of them I just don't remember from where." Okay so it was not a total lie I really can't remember from where I know that man, but the conversation was more than interesting.
Before anyone had a chance to ask more questions I said:
"And guys I think they will come out any moment now, so we better get out of here" Ivy sent me a death glare which if possible could kill and started walking towards her car.
Mark and Daniel were still silent. Probably didn't want to anger Ivy or get on her bad list. That's a smart decision on their side.
The ride home was quiet. Mark sat on a passenger seat, much to his displeasure and I sat in the back with Daniel.
Ivy drove to Mark's house and then to Daniel's, so we were alone in a car. We were sitting in an awkward silence till she parked in front of her house.
We said goodbyes to one another, but I could see that Ivy was still mad at me because of worrying her. I hope she will get over it soon.
When I came home it was already 11.15pm. I have patrol in an hour and fifteen minutes.
Might as well sleep till then.
I quickly went to see if Ellie is a sleep as well as our grandparents.
I always make their dreams before everyone else's. And it's easier because I know them and what they like, so I don't need to read their memories. When I was sure everyone was deep asleep with a dream I went to my room.
I hope Ivy will cool of till tomorrow. It would be boring if she doesn't talk to me a whole day.
We'll see.
Now sleep.
