Sesily laid back on the couch on the plane listening to her music drown out the world around her. She tapped her black and green converse to the beat of the song, enjoying her life at the moment. She loved being here a part of this family who easily welcomed her into their lives. Helbis was still a little put off by her, but she understood. She and Michael have always been close, and now Sesily was taking time away from them, but she was happy to see her little brother in love.

                 For a second Sesily couldn’t believe she was in love with them. She had her eyes closed thinking about the first time they kissed. It wasn't planned, and it didn’t even come across her mind at all, but then again aren’t the best kisses never planned. They were walking in the woods near his home when he stopped at the top of the hill staring into her eyes. Then he leans in kissing her and making her heart river dance across her stomach. He was her first kiss, and it was a kiss she would never forget in her long life.

                She smiled at the thought.

                How odd, she thought, that this place is not her home, and yet, she found love her. Ture love not like the love her father wanted to use her for, no, here she found someone who cared deeply for her. Life has a funny way of working out in the end, she grins.

                “Don’t be too much of a fool,” a voice said into her mind.

                “What are you doing here?” She asked, never opening her eyes. “I did not welcome you into my space.”

                “I know, I know,” the man said walking around inside her skull, “but my job is to protect you, so I am.”

                “Sounds more like your checking in on me,” she hissed at him.

                “I am,” he nodded. “It is a part of my duty.”

                “Well,” she told him, “I am fine and safe. I’m chilling on the jet right now.”

                “I know that,” he said. “But the events the other night were too close. When you broke that man’s nose ---”

                “He deserved it,” she said.

                “You use some of Michael’s strength,” the voice said.

                “I was aware of it,” she said still moving her foot hoping to drown out his voice, but there was no way of doing it. The man was inside of her, a part of her soul and a part she did not ask for but never-the-less he was there always louder than the music. Music which she so desperately loved. “I have been trained all my life to be aware of it.”

                “It is why you held back,” the man said, “I understand that, but there might come a time when you can no longer hold back, and then what?”

                “Then I’ll do what I must.”

                “And if these people are around?” He asked.” What are you doing to tell them? You are going to tell them the truth?”

                She said nothing. She thought nothing.

                “I told you we should have never got involved with this family.”

                “And if they come looking for me?” Sesily asked. “If my family tries to find me? You can’t fight them alone.”

                “We could run,” he said.

                “We can’t run forever,” she said.

                “So, you find a family of heroes to help you then?” He asked.

                “It’s wasn’t my plan,” she told him.

                “And this love?” He asked. “A part of the plan now?”

                She opened her eyes and sat up growling, “Never ask me that question again.”

                “Sorry my princess,” he said softly walking back out of her mind.

                She shook her head wishing her father never gave her a Soul Guard, but there was nothing she could do about it now. He did save her life more times than either one of them could count. She glanced around the plane seeing she was alone and wondered how they were doing out on the mission.

                Maybe, if she told them the truth, they would let her join them. She could be fighting alongside Michael, that’s if they believe her, and it was best not to use her powers too much. The more she used her powers, the more of a chance her family would find her. She never wants to see them again nor did she ever want to go home again.

                Her new home was here with the Talon family, and she loves it. She smiled looking down at the floor and telling her they cared for her too. She dropped back on the couch laying on her side closing her eyes. She could sleep at ease here. She was safe with dreams of a new life. She smiled falling asleep like she did every time she was around them and most of all Michael.
