Jonathan called the next day, just to let us know he still didn't know anything. It was nice of him to call, but it didn't keep me from feeling like we were in limbo, waiting to find out what happened.
For a full week Emily went 'radio silent', with no real news coming from anywhere, not even from Jonathan. It seemed likely the DA would decline to prosecute her for the death of her father, citing self-defense; but he was still considering the investigation, and hadn't made a decision yet.
It seemed likely that her grandparents were going to get custody of her, but since they were the parents of her father, whom she had killed, Child Protective Services were still considering the option and had yet to make a decision.
While I knew what decision I wanted the DA to go with, thinking about her custody arrangement only upset me. If her grandparents did get custody she would be moving to Florida where they lived. Beyond that I had specific concerns with them. There was not only the fact that they had to harbor some kind of resentment towards Emily for the death of their son, these were people who raised a man who was capable of beating his wife to death.
Of course, the alternative was going into the foster system as a teenager. While my time in the system wasn't terrible, it wasn't a life I would wish on anyone. Plus, she would most likely end up moving around a lot.
But my real issue was that, regardless of what happened, it was clear she would be going away. The foster system would probably have her in one of the bigger cities, her grandparents lived in Florida, and then there was jail. Any way this would go, it meant I would be losing her.
I know many people would wonder what I was so upset about. I had my Zoe, Vicki and Tami in my life already and nothing had happened with Emily yet. It was something I had been thinking about. For some reason the girls were pushing hard to add people to our little group, and I was falling hard for those same people.
I had no way of proving it but my guess was it was somehow a byproduct of my genetics. Not that I had mentioned it to anyone yet, because how do you test for impulses? What I did know is my genetics were aggressive in trying to propagate themselves. Putting that together with the girls feeling a strong impulse to add new girls and me falling quickly for the same girls, it couldn't be a coincidence.
Thursday rolled around. It was my birthday, or at least the day we had picked after the Greys had adopted me. I knew a party was planned, but wasn't sure of the details. It wasn't a surprise party, but it had been made clear that I was to stay out of the way until it was time for the party to start.
I was up early, and just home from my morning run when Emily finally called.
"Hey, Cas," she said when I picked up.
"Emily! How are you? I've been worried."
"I know. I'm ok, I guess. We got the news today that they aren't going to try and throw me in jail, so that's good. They also decided I am going to live with my grandparents."
"At least the decision is made now. Moving to Florida isn't as bad as being in limbo."
"I guess. I don't really want to go. I just got friends. And you're here," she said, sounding sad.
"I know, and just because you're in Florida, doesn't mean we can't all still be friends. Three years and we're off to college. I'm sure the girls are already plotting to get us all back together."
"That's a long time, but you're right. I guess I also kind of don't want to go with them. The way they look at me..." she said, leaving the sentence hanging.
"I was worried about that. How bad is it with them?"
"Pretty bad. I get the feeling they aren't really getting much of a choice in taking me, since they are my only living relatives, but I can tell they don't want to. They haven't said anything, yet, but I can tell."
"Were you close with them before all this?" I asked.
"Not really. I had only met them once or twice. They moved to Florida and gave Dad the farm when I was still a baby. Dad never wanted to go see them and they were never invited for family stuff. At least not that I can remember."
I paused for a long time, trying to think of how to best say what else was on my mind.
"Emily, I'm sorry things ended up the way that they did. I..."
"No," she said, interrupting me, "I know what you're thinking. I know you threatened him to get him to stop hitting me and my mom. I'm glad you did it. These last months have been the happiest I can ever remember. Even my mom was starting to seem like a person again. You don't know what it was like living in this house ... before. We were always scared. Scared we would set him off. We tip-toed through life. It isn't a way to live."
Destiny City Foreword: I hate smartphones. I know that doesn't sound like something you'd expect from your typical four year old. Anymore children practically come out of their mommies with some sort of electronic device in their hands. I'm not a typical child, just like any other Destiny City child. Before I get into that I guess I should tell you why I hate smartphones. Like any other, "how I got from there to here story" mine starts a little over a year ago. Four year old...
I was jogging in the park one morning sweating in my nice new outfit on a lovely sunny day. The trail led through the forest which presented a variety of wonderful smells like pine and some floral scent I couldn't identify but I loved it. Suddenly, I noticed a guy running along beside me. I almost panicked before he smiled and asked, "Are you Destiny?" What a relief. Maybe my heart missed a beat and I'm sure that my look of surprise gave me away. I managed to gasp, "Yes, and you're...
They had plenty of space between my room and Dad's to have complete privacy. I opened the computer and stared at the opening screen. As I reflected, I had practically forced them into an arranged courtship. Did I do the right thing? What would you do if she came to live with us? I let that question play out a while. Is she going to stay with me while he's gone? Is Tyler? Yeah, I was confused. She told you many times that she had no interest in getting married. I forced myself to...
In a few more minutes, I stopped crying and had to get serious. I took out my nifty makeup case that Charlene gave me. The local merchants gave her a bunch when she won the title and she gave me four. I gasped when I found out how much regular people had to pay for them. I fixed my face and stayed in the restroom until after the class bell rang. I went quickly to the nurse to get a tardy slip, telling her about my period being a surprise. The last time I used that excuse, it was a physical...
After my successful two-hour study session it was time to organize dinner from leftovers and the new delivery that would be coming. I really was getting better at focusing on work after a good fucking. When the doorbell rang, I figured it was Charlene. She came in with her overnight bag smelling sexy — almost depraved — to give me a hug. I said, "I'll have to get you a key, Mom. No reason for you to knock anymore." "I'd be afraid to use it. What if he had someone here?" She looked in...
After starting the picnic with the company video, Amanda paired us with our trainees for a few minutes to go over the daily checklist. Tyler picked the girl named Sherree, the one with the best figure, and took her to the outside table. Why not? I took the male named Dylan to sit on adjoining chaise lounges. Bill and Charlene picked the other two and went inside to find a place to work. Dylan stood about six feet, looked strong, smiled a lot, and was in my class. In our interviews, I noticed...
It has been said that there are three steps to happiness - step 1 find out who we are, step 2 - accept who we are and step 3 - be who we are. For many of us, this is straightforward but for some, the changes needed to complete each step are far reaching and life changing. It's then that we need Destiny to do her job. Destiny is a funny thing. For most of the time, we don't even notice her. It's as if she's sitting in the background, quietly minding her own business until she...
Some days I surprise myself. I lined up the food service. We could eat a decent meal and not cause Tyler or Paul to go bankrupt. Eating at home, I could serve us wine. The TV was paid for, I had the network code, so if we wanted a racy movie, I could rent it. So for the price of the gas to drive over here, Tyler and Paul would have an evening to remember. I think Tyler likes to look at Charlene's naked body as much as I do. If Paul joined the group play, we'd all have a wonderful date. I...
I waited by the stall door when, finally she opened it. As she turned the corner and faced me I slapped her pretty white face, knocking her into the stall wall. She hit it with a thump and passed out. I stood there gazing at her beautiful 15 year old body, well developed for her age. She had double c tits and a big firm ass. She had blonde hair the fell about halfway down her back. She wore black tights that showed off her ass and a small OU shirt that revealed her cleavage. I walked over...
On the way to school, I asked him, "What did you say to Mom when she came down to breakfast?" "I said that I wish she could be a participant rather than a spectator and that I wanted to play that game with her." She turned red, and said, "Thank you, Tyler." "Good for you. I like it when you crowd her a little. I know it makes her feel good, even though she knows that she should be playing with someone older. I hope you can get her over that hump." Monday always had more potential...
Destiny tourBy Ah FookSince he was just a little boy, Simon had had fantasies about slavery and submission to Asian men. He never had any idea where this vision came from, but it kept coming. When he reached 41, he was in the midst of a promising career, but suddenly he follows an impulse to realize his dark fantasy. I have translated the story from Danish in order to reach a broader audience. The plot builds on a mix of memories andfantasies. That morning, just awakened, Simon went straight...
I was wrong. Next morning, I went down and found Charlene looking delicious in her bikini and doing one of her special breakfasts. Today, she made a wonderful egg casserole with salsa on the side for the strong at heart. I helped with the fruit bowls and coffee. Tyler staggered in looking tired. I handed him a cup of coffee and winked. "Too much activity?" "I feel like a kid asking for a second helping of ice cream. It's a great idea, but he has no room. Then, you were just a little...
The next morning, I felt the immediate need to go referee any difficulties in the kitchen. Paul had made coffee and was in the process of cooking some cranberry pancakes, one of his specialties. Maybe he'll take Charlene's place as the breakfast maven? We chatted a minute about our situation with Dad home and decided that we had to play everything by ear. I certainly didn't want everyone feeling anxious and thinking they shouldn't be here. Charlene came in and kissed us both. Then, she...
So Im definitely an amatuer writer, but this fantasy has been on my mind lately. I felt the best way to indulge in it was to get it out on paper, so to speak. Keep in mind, I was writing this more for myself than anything, but I felt like I should share it, in case any one else enjoyed it. This is only the second erotica story Ive ever written, so please, go easy on me. Id love constructive criticism or comments, and if I get positive feedback, Ill consider a sequel, or series, or whatever...
Destiny by The Dream Weaver There are many who believe that a persons destiny cannot be altered. In some cases, though, the magic that comes from a meeting of two souls can intervene and cause destiny to rewrite itself. The desires of mortals are sometimes taken in to consideration by the Gods and they bestow a gift for the sake of love. Chapter 1 Angel laughed so suddenly, she choked on the soda she had been drinking. "Jeez, Ian" she sputtered, "warn me next time you are...
One The band was the most important thing in my life. And, here I sat, one week before one of our biggest gigs, watching it disintegrating. And, it was all my fault. My name is Sara. Sara Keeling. I'm the keyboard player, and the lyricist. We call ourselves One Night Stand, a fitting name for a band, especially one that has three guys and three girls in it. We're all sophomores here at the University of Massachusetts, and the band got together right at the beginning of freshman year. We...
Last year at school, I ate with the senior girls and made some nice friends with Tommy's group. This year, Tyler ate with us. Being a little uneasy in my status, I asked him if eating with us wouldn't lose him points with the seniors. "It would if I were running for office. Football season is over and I played well enough for an honorable mention. So, I still have points that they can't take away. You and Charlene are old enough to go to all the parties and dances, so I'm happy to be...
As strange as it may sound to some, my best friend is a lesbian. I'm a divorced, thirty-two year old male that flies a helicopter for the Washington State Police. Denise is the twenty-eight year old paramedic/observer that works with me every day. Both of us are sworn troopers and both of us have done street time of course - it's a departmental requirement - but, due to the specialty skills we possess, we found ourselves fast-tracked through the mandatory patrol time and put as quickly as was...
Mom drove us to the ice cream store where we found a booth with privacy. She said, "What we talk about is just between us right now. We'll tell the others after I've done my homework. Basically, my plan is to McDonald-ize the Dial-A-Meal Corporation. If they don't agree to my plan, if I think it's right, I will seek financing and go into competition with them." I must have looked completely lost. She laughed. "Okay, now Dial-A-Meal pays regular wages and benefits to the sales staff,...
All seemed to be in order. I gathered Amanda and Charlene and took them to my room. "Charlene has a killer suit that I want you to try," I said to Amanda. "I like to go down looking good and have them panting. You guys will give them a thrill." I wanted Amanda to feel comfortable naked among the girls. I also wanted to see all the body under her suit. "You're expecting me to ... I mean, uhm be one of the girls?" she said. "Let's get naked and take a shower. My bathroom is...
When the night of the ball arrived, Dad had arranged for Tyler to drive them. He said that he planned to have drinks and wine with dinner. Since they wouldn't be out late, it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience for Tyler. From his description of it, I think Tyler considered it to be an honor. I decided to ride with them to the hotel and then let Tyler get up and retrieve them when the time came. I helped Mom get dressed in her new gown, elegant with side splits, and glorious cleavage. She...
I created a dominant profile in a BDSM site and with my pictures. I didn't get lucky for around 2 years, in the mean time I used to go to BDSM munches and had a couple of one-night stands but haven't had a steady relationship. I had a message in my account in the BDSM site with a heading Sir, and it was a simple message - that she wants to get to know me. I saw her profile she was 42 and married. And her profile said she is a masochist and she is looking for a monogamous relationship. I was...

I woke up on the Destiny islands to see seven insanely hot women all wearing bikinis "Hello are you okay, i'm Aqua" Aqua had dark blue hair and pale white skin, almost as pale as my own "I'm Larxene" Larxene had short blonde hair and a very slight tan "Hi my name is Namine and these two are my twin sisters, Kairi and Xion" Kairi and Xion waved at me Namine had long blonde hair she looked absolutely beautiful in her bikini her skin was even more pale than mine Kairi had shoulder length red hair,...
Your alarm interupts yet another deep and peaceful dream. You frantically search for your phone on your wooden bedside table to switch off the repetitive alarm sound blasting into your ear. You turn it off and sit up in your bed, the sunshine seeping through the curtains, nearly blinding you. You stand up and stretch your muscles, still half asleep. You get ready for your boring office job as you usually would, take a shower, get dressed, breakfast, brush your teeth and out the door for 8am. As...
FantasyDestiny: Legacy of a Spellbinder By D.A.W. Author's Note: As this is the third and final story in my Ragnarok Rising trilogy I highly recommend reading 'Incompatible' and the revised version of 'Transfigured' before proceeding further. I've posted a glossary of terms (including the days/months and their English equivalents) to go along with these stories, it can be found at Bigcloset Topshelf, Fictionmania, & tgstorytime. Originally, this story was posted as a serial, but...
Late afternoon Friday is supposed to be the apex of the week. Sure, sure, nothing like a Saturday night to be hot hot hot, fun fun fun, wild wild wild. Saturday night is the week's orgasm, but isn't the ecstasy of sex all in the build-up, the anticipatory thrill? What's best about Christmas, sitting around in the glut of torn wrappings next to a dying tree, or the visions of the night before, the glamorous pine growing from the mound of brightly clad packages? Everyone thanks god for the...
The next morning, I picked up Charlene for school. She had a nice smile going. I asked, "How was your day?" "Don't tell secrets, but did he say anything after I left?" I did not have the heart to tease her and make her squirm. I rarely saw her so uncertain. I touched her arm. "Yes, he did. You tempted him, but he was concerned." "Let's see. I'm your best friend and I'm too young. Did I miss anything important?" "You're batting two for two. When I realized that you had a...
Melanie resumed, "Okay, you asked for it. We've all had wine. I want to tell the story without it ever getting outside this tub. I think I can trust you, but would you just nod if you agree?" After seeing the nods and my whisper to her about our rules about privacy, she said, "I left off where he had his strong body between my legs with his hand on my panties, which were my last defense. I have to tell you that in times past, I thought he was very sexy. So, I was in conflict. I knew that...

The sun had fallen below the trees as the moon peaked through from the clouds above. It was a normal summer night cooling off just a little as the sun lost its fight with the night. Joe took his normal walk through the park to the bench he sat on every night for the last 18 years. This night started no different than the hundreds he had spent lost in thought over what had happened many years before. His life revolved around work and little else, he tried church and even went down the road of...
She had no idea the trip to Australia last year was the way to meet him. She went to Sydney for her doctor internship for one year. Thanks to her teaching diploma, she would be able to find a part-time tutoring job to earn extra money. After arrived Sydney about a month, she started working at the hospital for six days a week and took a part-time job as chemistry tutor in a prominent boys high school. After she finished her hospital work on Fridays, she had to go to the school for the two hours...
Once we both calmed down and cuddled next to each other, I drifted off to sleep dreaming about what the whole weekend had in store for us. I have no idea how long I slept cuddled next to him but I awoke horny and needing to have him again. He was still sleeping – his cock just laying there resting – for now! I remembered how much he loved being woken up with my mouth. It had been a long time since I had that pleasure and I was sure ready for it now. I moved downward being very careful not to...
Many thought they have experimented with the idea of love and sex but never felt the passion another can give. Is there really anyone out there that can give both to another and the same back? Sometimes thinking there is no hope and just wanting to give up, all emotions are pushed aside and just go on with life as best as they could. Until one night, everything changed and she would never be the same again when she met him. He had piercing hazel eyes and a voice that just melted her away with...
You wake up next to a pool of white and glowing liquid. The plants around you are a vibrant red. You jolt as you take in the environment, your hand dips into the pool and you begin to feel a sharp stinging pain. You jolt again and crawl your way away from the pool. You try and think about how you got here, but the only thing you seem to remember is your name. You strain yourself trying to think of your past, but end up with nothing. The only memory you seem to have is a deep and gravely voice...
"Man... what a day" I said as I sit in my chair. I have been fired from my work, my car stolen, and I found this weird DVD-Rom... "Well, What should I do?"
Mind ControlBy : Amit09031975 Hi readers I am Amit, 23 years old from Meerut. This incidence happened 2 years back, when I had just finished my first year of Eng. and was home on holidays. My family consists of my father, mother, brother who is four years elder to me, my bhabhi and my younger sister I will call her R. It was month of June and R who was 18 than has just passed her 12th exams and was appearing for medical entrance exams. It was her entrance exam that day and the centre was Delhi. She was...
IncestBefore i actually start writing the story, i want to make an announcement! Ok, hi there, im new here! Im not exactly an experienced writer. Quite the opposite actually. This is my first story that ill be writing. So if you see any form of mistake, that be grammatically or in general please let me know. (I've probably butchered this first intro already) I don't really have much of an aim for this storyline, its more like an experimental story if you catch my drift. If this goes well, or you guys...
LesbianChapter 1: The accident It was drizzling. The weather was as gloomy as my heart. Well, almost as gloomy, as nothing could be as dismal as my feeling. I turned on the headlight, switched on the wiper, and continued driving home in silence. Linda was also silent, staring at the traffic ahead of us. We were returning home from the cemetery, where Linda's mom Brenda was lying in peace. What happened exactly one year ago, the biggest tragedy in my life, seems like it just happened the day...
Nadia walked into the cold, dimly lit dungeon like room. The dampness hung in the air like a heavy stench suffocating anyone in its path. Water leaked from the ceiling, dripping onto the stony floor making it colder than it should have been. She never would have known about this place if she hadn't overheard the girls in the locker room mumbling about a guy they had tied up for eight days. The knowledge made her gasp, but she was careful to make sure no-one heard her. How could they do such a...
I had talked a good game to the girls, mostly to keep them from worrying, but I had a major problem. I might be able to handle myself in a fight, but finding two people in an unfamiliar city wasn't something I was trained for, or had any idea how to do. Eddie had told me where he'd last seen Charlie and Sandy, as best as he had been able, but sadly, that was pretty limited. It seems the trio had set off into the slums with little or no plan and no real sense of direction. They hadn't made...
The stairs into the basement were narrow, and lit only by the light from the room above and a dim glow from the basement area. I moved down the creaking stairs, listing for any indication that there were more guys in the basement, other than the two I had already shot. Thankfully, there were no other armed men in the basement to deal with. I breathed a further sigh of relief, when I realized I had found what I had been looking for. Charlie was propped up against a wall, staring at the...
Charlie had been dying to confront me with all the questions he had built up. "I don't buy that whole 'I got lucky' thing. How did you overpower those guys and free us? And when we get here, you call your lawyer in the US, tell him to get you a helicopter or a plane to come get us and take us to the next port. Then had him convince the guy to book us a last minute reservation here just so we could wait by a phone. What are you, some trust fund kid?" I had to laugh. He had been letting...
100% fiction! After shifting to village i was quite upset. My new college in the village too was boring . There was only one bus as a mean of transport. The only thing exciting me was i was alone with my mom. She is a lady of 40 with 40 d breast size. She is an awesome figure which will make every man who see her to take her to bed. My dad was such a fool that he divorced this awesome figure. Finally the college day came to an end and my vacation started. It was awesome summer. Mom had bought a...
Incest100% fiction! Later my mom need me to marry her and want to go abroad. So we flew to western country. There we got married and moved to countryside . It was our moon days. Mom was getting more and more fat as her breast was filled with milk. I drank her milk night and day. So our first night came. Mom came to bed in a lacy gown. When she sat on bed i made her to sit on my lap. My cock was already erect. I squeezed breasts within her gown. She started moaning and her gown started getting wet as...
IncestAfter a very short team meeting everybody got ready for the game that evening. They all knew what had happened, but, like me, they were not sure what the future held. I stood up on a bench and told them that there were going to be some changes and probably some trades. Several guys looked at me, others didn't; a few scowled and one player moaned theatrically. Then I read the line-up and said, "Let's go." I got some smiles and several sullen looks. Charley Mumford stayed behind and...
Lawyer Donnelly was nothing if not knowledgeable of how to do these kinds of negotiations. But, he was wrong about getting the check on the same day that the deal was consummated. It took two days. The guy was actually apologetic. I was sitting in his office looking at the actual check from Marcort. “They actually thought they’d be in litigation for forever,” said Mister Donnelly. “Well, I guess they got something out of this too then, right?’ I said. “I’d say that that’s a fair...
When I said that god was smiling on me that morning, I might have said that he was visiting me much more often than in the past. While I found no simple answer to the question of having her husband declared dead, other events made all my work unnecessary. I was sitting at an outdoor table at the café, with my morning paper and espresso. I looked up to see Anna Maria hurrying toward me, her face quite contorted, but in what mood, I could not tell. She rushed to my table and sat, breathlessly...
The mecha genre is one with decades of history, and throughout its history it has amassed a great deal of hot babes. There are girls for all tastes to be found, and many viewers have conjured up fantasies in their minds upon watching these girls go about their business. Something about the genre makes its girls especially hot, whether they’re pilots or signers or both. This CHYOA will be a collection of various unrelated short fanfiction stories to do with mecha franchises. It will be an...
My first serious boyfriend, got me into enjoying sexual things. Before him it was talk and more talk...he made it real...the first time he kissed me his hand went up my skirt...I pushed him away, of course, it was what I had to do. A natural reaction...so he didn't do it again. Until later that evening, on the way home. I was resting on his shoulder. We were driving along and came to a stop...his hand went to my bare leg and this time I let him. We were almost home...nothing would...
I blew off work a bit early on Friday and headed downtown to see what was going on. All summer there were food festivals, ethnic celebrations and other things to see and do. This Friday there was some sort of health fair with booths set up for blood pressure screening cholesterol information and diabetic risk factors. It seemed boring until I happened upon a booth set up warning about sunburn and skin cancer. While it is true that I am fair skinned and at some risk in this regard, the...
By this time, I was well on my way to understanding and harnessing a second effect of The Power. For some time, I had noticed that I could tell what people were feeling. No, this was not any form of mind reading - I have never been able to read anybody’s thoughts. But I can get a good feel for their emotions. The best way of describing it is from something I learned in Physics last year. Mr. Wilson had described something called sympathetic or harmonic vibration. This is the effect caused...
I was hiring a new personal assistant, and I was having lots of trouble with my very personal requirement that they would sleep with me whenever I had the urge. I still had the urge at 60 years of age - a daily urge. I was called lots of names and threatened with physical harm by some of the daintiest of women. Then in walked Carly. She is a trim 30 year old woman with curves in all the right places, a beautiful face framed by short deep red hair. She was immaculately dressed for the...
I awoke in darkness. For that brief moment, not know sure where I was. Rolling on my side I felt for my wife, her side of the bed was empty. At first I thought she had gotten up to use the bathroom in these early hours of the morning, but then I remembered. Her side had been vacant for the last 6 years and I was alone. Struggling toward consciousness, I realized that I was not in my own bed? Where was I? Then I remembered, I was in Washington, DC. There as an invited guest, asked to speak at...
She looked over at the crowded bar, it seemed that half of the football team were here tonight. The guy that was giving her the eye was happily married or so you would believe from the media. She glanced over at him again; he was definitely watching her. The football championship was going to start in a few days and this guy was eyeing her up. The Manager wouldn't be pleased. After all, footballers were meant to concentrate on one thing and one thing only during the run up to these matches....
That Friday (Sept. 26, when I returned from my business trip on the other side of the country) will always be a special date for me. Maybe even more special than family birthdays. Because it was my first of many times riding the sexiest man I’ve ever known. I didn’t think about it that day, but maybe it seems strange to some reading this, that the first – and only – thought on my return from a cross-country business trip was to return home, not to the arms of my husband (whose arms hadn’t...
"Collect some fire wood, will you, Bobbi, and I'll finish setting up the tent," said her mother Tara, as she tied down the last corner of the tent and drove the stake into the ground. "Sure, mom," Bobbi replied, "it shouldn't take me more than ten minutes or so!" "It had been so long since the two of them had done anything together," thought Tara, so two days in the mountains would be good for both of them!!! Bobbi did more than an adequate job of scrounging dry wood, and in a few minutes, Tara...
Speaking for myself, I worked like I would never be coming back from that next trip to Earth. It wasn't hard to do, since I knew the odds favored just that. I spent as much time as possible with the children, too. If the worst happened, I at least wanted them to remember me. Dad, mom, and Melanie would be going, too. That decision was made final when something unheard of was discovered. Paul, Paula, and little Bernie were not only immune to magic, as all the royal family was, they had magic...
