Umayza I feel a bit strange, and I don't mean the bad kind. I slowly become aware of my surroundings, and I know I have finally relived the entire memory; now I just need to regain my energy. I am wrapped in warmth, and I smile as I remember the last time I woke up feeling like this; it was the night I spent with Conri and Evander. I feel Yade stirring in my head for a second, and then she is gone, probably checking up on our Brother. A moment later, I hear a squeal above my head, and I am rolling down the aisles as I hear groaning coming from either side of me, but I don't pay it much attention. I try to calm myself down, but knowing Yade and Jasper are probably having a party in Orion's head keeps me from calming down. I get wrapped in four arms as I hear Orion ask, "Couldn't you have kept her with you until I was awake?" making my Mates chuckle."How are you feeling, Little One?" Conri asks in between the kisses he is placing on my shoulder. "I feel tired, even though I have been passed out for hours. I need some food, some clean clothes, and most of all, I need a shower," I tell him. Evander buries his nose in my neck after he tells me I am not going anywhere. Conri asks me if I am ready to see my friends again, and I ask if I can spend a little more time with just the three of them. "I think Orion is too busy arguing with Yade and Jasper to notice if we walked out," Evander whispers in my ear. I turn on my stomach to look at Orion, and I can tell he is in a full-blown argument with Yade and Jasper, which is funny to watch. I place my hand on his cheek, and even that takes a few moments to register before he looks at me with a smile on his face. "Jasper wants Yade to get some more rest, but she says she is back to her old self, and I was trying to play the peacekeeper," he says to me. I tell him Yade always bounces back quicker than I do, but that I understand that Jasper is just worried about his Sister. We just lay there for a while; no one says a word, and I am really enjoying the silence as I think about the next few days. Today at midnight, the days of the Full Moon start, and I really want to stay here until tomorrow; I want to experience how it feels to find your fated Mate. I think I might have to exaggerate being tired to make sure we can stay another night; I want to be marked before we head home, and I know my Mates will feel the same. I snuggle deeper into the arms that surround me, and I close my eyes just to enjoy the silence. Whispers around me wake me from my slumber, and I realize I had fallen back to sleep again. "Did you enjoy scaring your baby Brother, Yade?" I ask her, and she has a huge grin on her face as she nods her head. "I just didn't like them being overprotective; I am fine, and as far as I am concerned, we can go home," she replies. "You do realize that we will miss the start of the days of the Full Moon?" I ask her, and her jaw literally drops. She shakes her head as she keeps repeating, "Not going to happen, not going to happen." Sounds like my Wolf and I are finally on the same page. I slowly open my eyes to be met by Orion's chocolate brown eyes, and I ask him if my Mates know he has taken their place. "Yes, they know. They are talking to Captain Armand about leaving tomorrow morning; they want to make sure that you get enough rest," he answers. "Yeah, right," Yade says to me with a smug look on her face, and the look on Orion's face tells me he doesn't buy it either. I smell the coffee Yonatan has made, and I ask Orion if he can get me some, which he is more than willing to do for me. I pull myself up on the couch, and I get this feeling I don't have to lie about being too tired to leave today; I feel as if I could sleep for a week. I had expected this to be more tiring than any other assignment, but this is much worse than I thought. My legs feel heavy, and I doubt I could stand on them if I had to; I think I would fall flat on my face if I tried. Damn, what if I have to pee? I think to myself, and Yade is laughing at my expense. "Here, Sis," Orion says as he holds a mug of coffee in front of me. I lift my arm to grab the mug, but my arm feels so heavy I doubt I can hold on to the mug. "Sis, are you okay?" Orion asks, and I tell him this assignment drained me more than I had expected, that my arms felt heavy. "Yade, why am I feeling this way?" I ask her. She is quiet for a moment before she tells me she is making me feel this way, that she wanted to make sure we would stay an extra night. "Yade, I was able to move around just fine before I fell asleep again. You might get everyone worried; what if they bring us to a hospital?" I ask her. I can feel it the moment she stops working against me, and I feel myself getting better quickly. "I think I just needed to adjust to being awake," I say to Orion as I reach for the mug of coffee, and I start sipping the coffee.I make sure I move around slowly because I don't want Orion to suspect anything, and I sure as hell don't want him to tell my Mates. They are protective of me, and it will become worse once we have marked each other; I don't need them to freak out already. So far, no one has bothered me yet, and I really want to see my Mates, but I also like just sitting here with my baby Brother. Something is on his mind, and I hope he will talk to me about it; I just don't know if I will be able to reassure him. "Sis, do you think I could stay with you for a while? Jasper and I want to get to know our Sister, and even though it makes me nervous, I would like to get to know our Father," he finally says, and I crawl onto his lap to wrap my arms around him. I know Yade and I want to get to know our baby Brother too. I want to know how much we are alike, even though we grew up without the other, and I know spending time together will answer that question. "You don't have to be nervous about meeting Dad. He may not like hearing you worked for Calliope, but knowing you warned me in time will make him forget about that. I think Dad will be nervous too; he might even wonder if you blame him for not being raised with me," I answer him, but he reassures me that he doesn't blame Dad for it. "Our Father didn't know; if I want to blame someone, I will blame Calliope," he states.
