Isabella came home finally on Saturday. Of course the first thing she did was apologize for not being here for me during the earthquake. I told her it was all good, that Eva and Penn had checked on me. I took her down to her new office on Sunday, she seemed to really like it

Why, what's going on? Do they get crazy after an earthquake or something? 'Cause they didn't seem that much diff---um, what makes you think people are going to get hurt or killed?

[izzy_hicks]

I don't know what's going on for sure. All I have is a gut feeling and Auntie Lily's cryptic warnings. Penn tends to agree that things seem like they are gonna get bad.

*looks at her*

I'm torn here, kid. I want you to stay. Cause I just found you and haven't had anytime to spend with you it seems. But I want you to be safe. In the end though, the decision has to be yours.

[india_hicks]

Well, I'm staying here with you. No way you're gonna go though whatever this badness that's gonna happen here alone.

Penn gave me a stake, I can ask him to show me how to use it.

[izzy_hicks]

Penn gave you a stake? Why did Penn give you a stake?

[india_hicks]

He said if anything got close to me while we were out I should use it to stab it with.

He told you we went out, right?

[izzy_hicks]

Yes he did. I figured you went to the Bronze or something. Tell me you didnt go to Ralphs.

[india_hicks]

Okay, we didn't go to Ralph's.

*grins*

[izzy_hicks]

*imagining India in Ralph*

Ugh, He probably shouldn't have done that. He doesn't know you that well. Or the type of trouble you're capable of getting yourself into.

*rubs temples*

Now I really think I should send you away. At least until this is all over with.

[india_hicks]

What?! That's not fair Iz!

And don't take it out on Penn, either. I had to see the demons at some time.

*crosses her arms and pouts*

Ok, maybe I should've waited til you could go with us, but he I'm not a kid anymore, Iz. Penn made sure nothing happened to me.

[izzy_hicks]

I know Penn wouldn't let anything happen to you. But I know you and the minute his back was turned you were probably slipping your number to half the guys in the bar. Any one of those guys could have ended up the kind of demons that aren't so nice.

How do you think Penn would have felt if something happened to you cause you picked the wrong guy to hit on?

[india_hicks]

*looks down*

Ok, you have a point there.

I'm sorry Iz, I promise I'll be more careful. I don't think I should have to leave, though.

[izzy_hicks]

You just need to be careful. I told you the decision is yours too make. I really can't make it for you. But if you stay, you're gonna have to stay out of harms way.

[india_hicks]

*smiles hopefully*

Ok, no more picking up demons in bars or going out with people you don't know. Sound fair?

Oh, and you and Penn show me how to defend myself in case I am staying out of harm's way but harm finds me?

[izzy_hicks]

You really want me to teach you how to use a weapon to kill demons and va....Wait a minute. What do you mean you wont pick up and more demons. That implies you've picked up at least one?

*looks at her with the don't lie to me face*

[india_hicks]

Yeah I want you to teach me how to kill them if they might try to kill me!

*shrugs*

It was just Ralph, Penn didn't act like he was a bad demon and he runs that bar where humans are welcome. Plus he's like way hot, Iz.

*remembers something and looks at her sympathetically*

Um, Iz? I think Penn was trying to tell me something about himself, maybe something you don't know yet.

[izzy_hicks]

Ack! You slept with Ralph!!! He's like, I don't know..a man ho! Seriously, He flirts with everything in a skirt that walks in the bar. But yeah, he's not the 'I'm gonna kill you' types. But still, ugh!

*raises an eyebrow*

What about Penn?
