Chapter 25 - A Normal Day?

Waking up feeling refreshed, I unravel my blanket that's encased my entire body like a python. Last night, was probably the best sleep since I found out all about the Supernatural world and my impending fate. "Let's go check mom and dad" Dahlia said with a yawn. For once in my life, I actually hurry up to get ready. I ransacked the closet and found a pair of grey joggers and a regular black t-shirt and pair it with my athletic shoes. I ripe a brush through my hair; toss it up in a pony and crash through my bedroom door. To my surprise, the goon squad isn't standing guard. They must have been up all night. I rush through the hallway and I'm graced by heavenly bliss wafting through the air. "Mom!" I yell. I run into the kitchen to see both my parents waiting for me. "Hey baby girl!" My dad called. I run to my mom give her a huge hug and then my dad. "I thought you two were in observation" Dahila asked. "You know your father, no one can keep him anywhere he doesn't want to be" my mom said with a giggle. "You guys are okay?" I ask. "We're Wereloves, it doesn't take us long to make a full recovery" my dad said. My mom hands me a plate full of food and I sit down next to my dad. I really missed this, I'm such an idiot for throwing such a fit a few days ago. "We're sorry Dahila" my mom said with tears trying to fall. "It's okay, but why did you guys leave and not tell me?!" Dahila asked. "Your father and I knew you were angry with us, so we just made the decision to leave and come back and surprise you" My mom said. "Surprise me? All I need is you guys!" Dahila said. "Nevertheless, we went a picked you up some things for your birthday" My dad said. "Most of it survived the wreck, your dad thought ahead an packed it safely away in case a shipwreck happened" my mother said. "Wait here, I'll go grab it" my dad said. Both my parents are too much. I wonder what they went and got that was worth almost losing their lives for. I sat there taking bites of my food. My mom was just staring at me, waiting for my dad to return. "Thank you, for saving me" my mother practically whispered. "You don't need to thank me, you're my mom, ill do anything for you" Dahila replied. "I know sweety, but your life matters too, it's very precious" said my mother. "I'm tired of hearing that! My life isn't more precious than anyone else's, and when I become Luna, everyone will know their life matters too!" Dahila said frustrated. "Okay baby" my mom said. I'm almost done with my food, when my dad comes in smiling cheek to cheek. He's holding a giant white box with black ribbon, and three smaller boxes. "We wanted to get you something special" My dad said. He hands me the boxes and says "Open the boxes largest to smallest" still holding his grin. The first box that I open, nearly takes my breath away, it's an ankle length chiffon black laced dress where the sleeves rest at your elbows. I raise my eye brow to my dad. "Keep opening them" my mom urges. The second box contains, black ballet lacey shoes. They match the dress perfectly. The third box contains a white gold necklace with a Cresent moon and a dangling star. It looks just like my birth mark, and it's beautiful. Finally I unravel the last box. I opened it and it contained a skeleton key? "A key" I said confused. "The key is very special and I will show you how to use it" my dad said. "Dahlia, there will be no training today, let's take the day to rest up" said my mother. "We will use the key tomorrow" my father said. "Okay?", I said with skepticism. "The gifts are beautiful thank you so much!" I tell my parents. "We both felt, that you needed the perfect clothes for your birthday. We went to a special witches shop to obtain the dress. It holds special enchantments. The dress is essentially a shield" my mother said. "A dress that acts like a shield? Wow that is cool!" Dahila said. "We saves the best for last" my dad said. "The key?" Dahila said. "It's going to be amazing!" my mother expressed. As we were talking back and forth, Lockhart entered the kitchen. "Emma, Ethan, why am I not suprised" Lockhart said with visibly annoyed. "Mom, dad please excuse me, I'm going to take my things up to my room" I said coldly. "Dahila Can I..." Lockhart tried to say but I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I walk to my room and down the hallway I see Robot 1 and 2 finally back guarding the entrance to my room. "Welcome back" I said with a chuckle. "Luna", they both said like a robot with a bow. "Do not let anyone disturb me unless it's mom and dad" I tell them. They nod yes. I enter my room and I decide to try all of my things on. The dress fits perfectly, it reaches just before my shoes. My necklace, compliments the dress flawlessly. My shoes are so comfortable and have a small ankle strap. Mom and Dad really out did it this time. I hesitantly walk over to my floor mirror. For the first time in my life, I'm nit disgusted by what stares back at me. I smile and go and put everything back up. I stare at the key that's still laying on my bed and my guardian wolf spirits emerged. "Beware... Beware the journey" The wolves say. Before I can say anything they disappear. "Whay the hell was that about?" Dahila says puzzled. I stare at the key. "What's so special about this key?" I say outloud. I spend the rest of the day in my room just collecting my thoughts. Before I know it, it's dark outside. I'm not even hungry. I was sitting at the Bay window and didn't even realize I drifted off.
