Chapter 9 - Penelope Decker

Later that day:

"Franco! Mother thinks I'm humanised."

"What? Why"

"Well, she thinks I'm in love with Eli, not knowing you're the one in love with his sister."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"I'm not."

"You are, Franco, and everybody - every single soul - knows that."

"So what? What if I am in love with Eli's sister? It won't be the first time I've ever been in love."

"With a human, Franco, human! Are you blind? Just that Elisha said sorry, and I had a humanised attack. Now imagine being in love."

"Well, that's the point, Penny - you didn't faint because he said sorry, you fainted because you have a crush on him."

"Eww, that's disgusting."

"Oh, really? Now explain to me why all of a sudden you stopped antagonizing him. You were often caught staring at him, and all of a sudden, he says sorry, and you faint. So go on and explain."

"Franco, stop."

"Look, it's not bad to love a human."

"But you know the consequences."

"What consequence? The one we're already suffering from? Never forget, our mother is human."

"And that's why she doesn't want us to follow Dad."

"No, that's why - she doesn't want us to suffer a greater punishment. But if you love that human and survive for them, you can freely leave with the person."

"So what are you suggesting?"

"Give your love for Eli a try first."

"And what about this fainting stuff?"

"Just try not to use your power for them, okay? Cause once you do, you send a signal up there tracing them to us, okay."

"Okay."

"Penelope, what are you doing in my house?"

"I just want to see your brother."

"Why?"

"I wanted to thank him for caring. Franco told me about it, and also apologize. I'm guessing that's what humans do when they're wrong."

"Yes, something you never do."

"Well, then... I'm sorry."

"Hold on, is it that you don't like me for your brother?"

"No, you're perfect for him, but he's perfect for his own reflection in the mirror."
