Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 84

Marco’s POV

"Luna, you aren’t supposed to be back for an hour.Is everything alright?"

Ashley runs up to us as we get back to the packhouse.

Her blue eyes get wide when she gets close and she skids to a stop, holding her hands up, "Whoa! That’s a whole lot of angry coming off of you, Kas."

Kas seems like she ignores her but starts speaking to her anyway.

She's been so stressed out since we left the botanical gardens that she hasn’t been able to really control her emotions like she usually does.

It’s a little crushing.I don’t know how she holds it all in all the time.

"Ashley, can you please arrange for a couple of guards to escort my sisters for arun before dinner? Except for Katherine, Amari, Cora, and Tessa.Send them to my office when they get here.I have more to discuss with them,"

Kas asks Gamma Ashley, "Ch also, could you please see if Musu and James are available.I'd like them to be part of this meeting.Sorry to load this on you, but I need help since Carly is off for the rest of the day."

"Of course Luna.It’s no problem.You know I’m glad to help,"

Ashley chirps happily as she keeps in stride with us, "Kas, are you sure everything is alright? You seem, um, intense?"

Kas stops suddenly and gets a weird look on her face.

She takes Ashley’s hand and gives her best ‘there ain’t nothing wrong’ voice, "I assure you, Ashley, everything is fine.I just have some things to discuss with my sisters that were not appropriate in the middle of the atrium of the botanical gardens."

"Oh, okay.How long until your sisters’ bus gets here?" she looks at the screen of her tablet.

"Their bus driver said they were about fifteen, twenty minutes behind us," I let her know, "Also, Delilah went to get her bag of tricks from home.Can you please let her up to the office as well, Gamma?"

"No problem, Marco,"

Ashley nods happily and types something into the tablet she’s holding, "I will get everything taken care of for you guys.Don’t worry about anything."

When we're finally in Kas’s office, she goes around to sit at her desk.I sit in the guest chair across from her and watch her carefully.Her sparkly hair is a little messy and her face is strained.

Not the put together Kas I usually see.

My Mama would call it ‘ aturdida’ [flustered].I wanna make sure she doesn’t have another vision.I don't know if my heart can take it if she does.

"Kas, not gonna lie.I’m a little worried about you right now,"

I say honestly, "I wanna make sure you're not too stressed out."

I couldn't, I would tell you.I promise,"
