Room #217, Wednesday Night

[walks_two_paths]

She had heard people all day making plans to go to their homes for Thanksgiving and to be with their families.

Savannah... had decided not to go. Looking at the clock on the wall, she had officially decided this about fifteen minutes ago. She had been thinking about this all day, though.

As far as she knew, her boyfriend and all of her friends were leaving the island for the weekend.

Yet, Savannah was not.

She was pretty sure that there were two other people who weren't, either, and she wanted to be with them. She didn't want them to be lonely or alone.

She picked up the phone and smiled faintly when she heard her guardian answer.

"Hi, Paige. It's... no, I haven't left yet. I'm not." She let out a breath. "No, I'm okay, really. No... I really miss you guys and the Pack." She rolled her eyes. "No, Paige. Johnny's probably already left to be with his family for the weekend. Listen, I have the flu and I just don't feel like moving from my bed right now. No, I haven't. I know. If it gets bad I have spells or the clinic. I know you'll come get me if I get bad..." She took a deep breath. "Look, Paige... there's something I need to tell you. Are you sitting down?" She swallowed. "You know how the Fates seem to love to screw with people and their lives? Yeah, well... Eve's here. no, it's really her, Paige. I tested her and it's really my mom..."

After about fifteen minutes of reassurances and agreeing to pass messages to Eve, Savannah hung up.

Well, that was one secret she know longer had to struggle to keep. Paige was confused and worried, but trusted her when she said it really was her mom on the island. Of course, that wouldn't matter if Paige found out that Sean was here. If she found out any Nast was within a hundred miles of Savannah, she would no longer be a resident of Fandom.

One obstacle at a time.

At least her mother and brother wouldn't be alone on Thanksgiving now.

Savannah flopped back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.

Eve had absolutely no idea what she was doing for Thanksgiving, besides not going anywhere. Oh, well. Whatever.

She wandered on by Savannah's room because honestly, why not? And she wanted to check in and see her daughter before she went home, if Savannah was going to spend Thanksgiving with Paige and Lucas.

"Boo," she said cheerfully from the doorway.

Savannah looked up and gave a smile. "Hi mom. Come in."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"You're not going home for Thanksgiving?" Eve asked as she walked into the room, plopping down at the foot of the bed.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Staying here."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Why not? Paige and Lucas are gonna be pretty disappointed they won't get to see you, aren't they?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I told Paige about you."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Aw, crap." Eve sighed. "Tell me she's not threatening to yank you out of here. Lie if you have to."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah gave her a peaceful smile. "Nothing like that at all. After I reassured her that I had tested you the very first day, she believed me. She knows the Fates, mom. She said that when I come home next to make sure you know you're welcome."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"I... I appreciate that." Eve grinned in relief. "Especially as it means I'll have somewhere to go during breaks from school and whatnot. Being dead means a severe lack of people you can freeload off of."

Savannah laughed. "She also thinks I have the flu or she would have insisted we both come so she can talk to you and freak out about having two wards. I'm betting by Christmas Lucas has paperwork prepared declaring you a Winterbourne-Cortez ward."

"They'd really take me on like that?" Eve didn't know what to say. She was technically a teenager again, which meant that yeah, technically she needed someone to looka fter her, but... oh, it was all so complicated.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah smiled. "They took me on... and I was less of a teenager. Besides... you're my mom." To be honest, that was all Savannah needed to know. "Benecio might wanna talk to you and all of that, though."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Oh, God." Eve groaned. "Benicio Cortez in protective mode? Tends to make people cry."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"You know he does it because he cares. I'm sure he won't be as hard on you as he was with Sean."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Of course not. Becaue he knows that if he is, you'll start pouting at him." Eve grinned at her daughter. "And you have inherited my pout, dearest."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah grinned. "Just one of many things I ahve to thank you for and those that have to deal withy me get to blame you for."

After Eve

Johnny came walking in, pretty as you please, with a bouquet of red roses for Savannah. He was smiling and looking like he was in a fairly decent mood. "Hey, baby."

Savannah gave him a smile. "You haven't left yet!" She sounded very happy about this as she got off the bed and came to greet him.
