"Key kamu kenapa pergi gak bilang-bilang mama?"
"Kan aku udah ngechat mama."
"Kenapa gak ngomong langsung?"
"Yah abisnya mama sibuk mulu."
Keyna bisa mendengar lewat telepon bahwa mamanya sekarang tengah menghela napas.
"Ya udah kamu hati-hati, salam buat kakek nenek sama Dika."
"Siap ma."
Tut tut tut
Keyna mematikan panggilan dengan mamanya dan berjalan keluar dari stasiun. Saat sampai di pintu masuk, ia melihat Dika dan segera menghampiri adiknya itu.
"Dika!" panggil Keyna.
"Buset beneran ke sini lo ternyata," ucap Dika terkejut mendapat kabar bahwa Keyna kakaknya itu akan ke Bandung.
"Iya dong. Ayo, lo bawain koper gue ya." Keyna berjalan mendahului Dika menuju mobil, dan tentu saja Dika yang harus membawa kopernya itu.
Dika pun segera masuk ke dalam mobil dan melajukan mobilnya dengan kecepatan normal menuju rumah.
"Sekolah gue udah diurus belum?" tanya Keyna.
"Udah sama kakek."
"Gue mulai masuk sekolah kapan?" tanya Keyna lagi.
"Lusa, besok kan minggu."
Keyna menganggukkan kepalanya paham. Dan menikmati perjalanan menuju rumah.
-sampai di rumah-
"Kakek nenek!" ucap Keyna riang dan langsung masuk ke dalan rumah.
Keyna langsung memeluk kakek dan neneknya.
"Keyna kangen banget sama kakek nenek," ucap Keyna.
"Kita juga kangen sama kamu nak," balas Adam, kakek Keyna.
"Kamu bersih-bersih dulu sana, kamar kamu masih sama," ucap Mey, nenek Keyna.
"Iya udah Keyna mau bersih-bersih dulu," ucap Keyna dan membawa kopernya menuju kamarnya.
Keyna merebahkan tubuhnya ke atas kasur. Ia melihat ke sekeliling kamarnya, masih sama seperti dulu waktu ia masih kecil.
-keesokan harinya-
"Lo nambah-nambahin kerjaan gue aja," ucap Dika kesal karena saat ini ia harus menemani Keyna ke gramedia.
"Oh gitu ya? Gue aduin lo ke nenek," ancam Keyna membuat Dika mengendus kesal.
Selang beberapa menit, mereka sudah sampai di sebuah gramedia.
"Gue tinggal ya, ntar kalo udah kelar telfon aja," ucap Dika.
"Emang lo mau kemana?" tanya Keyna mengernyit bingung.
"Ada urusan. Ya udah ya," ucap Dika.
Keyna hanya mengangguk dan masuk ke dalam gramedia. Ia berencana untuk membeli buku sekolah dan beberapa novel.
Keyna berjalan menelusuri rak-rak buku. Mencari novel yang sedang ia incar.
"Keyna?" panggil seseorang dengan nada ragu.
Keyna menoleh dan melihat ada seorang laki-laki yang baru saja memanggilnya.
"Siapa ya?" tanya Keyna bingung.
"Seriusan lo gak inget sama gue? Temen lo dari kecil?"
Keyna tampak berpikir, mencoba mengingat siapa laki-laki di hadapannya ini.
"Joshua?!!" ucap Keyna setelah ingat bahwa laki-laki itu adalah Joshua, teman masa kecilnya.
"Astaga udah lama banget jadi gue gak ngenalin lo hehe," ucap Keyna meringis kecil.
"Lo balik lagi ke Bandung?" tanya Joshua yang sekarang tengah menemani Keyna mencari novel.
"Iya gue bakal sekolah di sini," jawab Keyna menganggukkan kepalanya.
"Oh ya? Serius?" tanya Joshua yang terlihat sangat senang.
"Iya Josh, ya kali gue bo'ong."
"Eh iya Josh," ucap Keyna membuat Joshua mengalihkan pandangannya.
"Kenapa Key?" tanya Joshua.
"Luna, gimana kabarnya?"
---
"Lo kok gak bilang-bilang Key ke Bandung," ucap Luna. Salah satu teman masa kecil Luna.
Seusai tadi ia bertemu Joshua, ia langsung meminta agar Joshua mengabari Luna. Dan alhasil Luna langsung pergi menemui Keyna.
Saat ini mereka tengah berada di sebuah cafe.
"Gue aja udah gak punya nomor kalian berdua, gimana mau ngabarin coba," ucap Keyna terkekeh.
"Sumpah gue kangen banget sama lo tau," ucap Luna sembari memeluk Keyna.
"Gue juga kali Lun."
"Ehem, gue gak dipeluk?" ucap Joshua mendehem kecil.
"Dih pelukan aja sono sama tembok," ucap Keyna lalu tertawa kecil.
"Lo udah di Bandung sejak kapan?" tanya Luna.
"Baru kemarin, itu aja mendadak banget."
"Oh ya lo bakal sekolah dimana Key?" tanya Joshua yang sudah penasaran sejak tadi.
"Iya dimana Key? Siapa tau satu sekolah sama kita," ucap Luna menambahi.
"Kalo gak salah namanya SMA Trisakti deh," jawab Keyna sembari mengingat-ingat.
"Seriusan Key?" tanya Luna memastikan dan dijawab anggukan kepala oleh Keyna.
"Berarti lo bakal satu sekolahan dong sama kita," ucap Luna riang.
"Beneran?" tanya Keyna seolah tak percaya.
"Iya, udah tenang aja lo pokoknya."
1 jam kemudian.
"Lo pulang naik apa Key?" tanya Joshua saat sudah bersiap untuk pulang.
"Sama adek gue kok," jawab Keyna.
"Dika?" tanya Joshua.
"Iya," jawab Keyna sembari menganggukkan kepalanya.
"Lo pulang dulu aja gapapa, Luna juga udah pulang," ucap Keyna.
"Gue nunggu lo dijemput sama Dika deh," ucap Joshua.
"Pulang aja Josh udah mau gelap juga," ucap Keyna menyadari bahwa saat ini sudah pukul 17.11.
"Lo udah nelfon Dika?" tanya Joshua.
"Iya udah bentar lagi juga nyampe," jawab Keyna.
"Ya udah gue pulang duluan gapapa nih?" tanya Joshua lagi untuk memastikan.
"Iya Joshuaaa," ucap Keyna. Joshua mengangguk dan berdiri dari duduknya.
"Gue duluan ya," ucap Joshua sembari menepuk kepala Keyna pelan.
"Hati-hati." Joshua pun mengangguk dan berjalan keluar dari cafe.
Sementara Keyna masih menunggu Dika. Adiknya itu mengatakan bahwa ia sedang dalam perjalanan.
Keyna menikmati pemandangan dari rooftop cafe tersebut. Menikmati hembusan angin yang menerpa wajahnya.
Selang beberapa menit, ada panggilan masuk di handphone Keyna.
"Halo."
"Gue udah nyampe nih, lo keluar aja."
"Oke bentar."
Tut tut tut.
Keyna mematikam panggilannya dan segera turun. Ia menuruni tangga dengan sedikit buru-buru dengan membawa tas penuh buku di tangannya.
Hingga akhirnya Keyna sampai di parkiran, ia langsung bisa mengenali Dika.
"Perasaan tadi lo ke gramedia, kenapa bisa tiba-tiba di sini?" tanya Dika mengernyit bingung.
"Ketemu temen, udah ayo pulang Dik." Keyna masuk ke dalam mobil dan disusul oleh Dika.
-keesokan harinya-
"Pagi kek, nek," ucap Keyna yang sudah berada di meja makan rapi dengan seragam barunya.
"Pagi nak."
"Dika dimana kek?" tanya Keyna yang tak melihat keberadaan Dika.
"Dia sudah berangkat," jawab Adam.
"Hah? Terus Keyna berangkat sama siapa?" tanya Keyna merengut kesal.
"Sam-"
"Sama gue dong," ucap Joshua yang tiba-tiba datang memotong perkataan Adam. Adam tersenyum kecil kepada Joshua.
"Joshua?"
"Pagi kek nek," ucap Joshua menyalami tangan Adam dan Mey.
"Pagi Joshua, kamu sudah sarapan?" tanya Mey.
"Udah kok nek, ke sini mau jemput Keyna aja," jawab Joshua.
"Kok lo di sini Josh?" tanya Keyna bingung.
"Kan udah gue bilang mau jemput lo," jawab Joshua membuat Keyna mengangguk-anggukkan kepalanya.
Keyna pun segera menyelesaikan sarapannya.
Setelah sarapannya habis, Keyna langsung pamit kepada Adam dan Mey untuk berangkat ke sekolah.
Joshua memberikan helm kepada Keyna dan langsung naik ke atas motor. Joshua melajukan motornya dengan kecepatan tinggi. Sengaja, ingin menjahili Keyna.
"WOY ANJIR LO NYARI MATI YA JOSH?!" teriak Keyna sembari memeluk Joshua erat.
"GIMANA KEY?" tanya Joshua yang pura-pura tidak mendengar perkataan Keyna.
"AWAS AJA NTAR LO JOSH!" teriak Keyna lagi dan hanya dibalas kekehan kecil dari Joshua.
Beberapa menit kemudian, mereka sudah sampai di parkiran sekolahan.
"Sumpah ya lo Josh parah banget," ucap Keyna kesal. Ia merapikan rambutnya dan memukul kepala Joshua dengan keras sehingga mampu membuat Joshua mengaduh kesakitan.
"Aduh sakit Key," ucap Joshua.
"Sukurin salah siapa," balas Keyna dan berjalan meninggalkan Joshua. Belum 10 meter Keyna berjalan, ia kembali berjalan menghampiri Joshua yang masih setia duduk di atas motor.
"Kenapa?" tanya Joshua menahan tawa melihat wajah marah Keyna.
"Ruang kepala sekolahnya dimana?" tanya Keyna ketus.
"Oh lo lurus ntar ada ruang guru belok kanan lurus dikit ntar ruang kepsek di sebelah kiri," jawab Joshua menjelaskan.
Keyna menganggukkan kepalanya dan kembali berjalan. Namun tiba-tiba ia berbalik menghampiri Joshua lagi.
"Kenapa lagi Key?" tanya Joshua.
"Anterin, gue gak hafal," ucap Keyna gengsi.
"Haha siap ayo gue anter tuan putri."

Happy EndingsJames and EmilyEmily and James have come so far from the stunted, messy, immature, and abusive relationship of their early years, overcome medical disaster, and so much more. Now, as parents and on the verge of a successful resort business, they deserve a little peace and quiet to enjoy their second chance. Their highlight success was with the rogue wolves that came to them. All but two survived the trip and the great adjustment into pack life. They had such success that eventually both twins had their own packs when they were old enough.Janine and HadenThey have both found a second chance with each other and a new lease on life managing the resort. Life won’t be quiet for them, but that’s the life they chose. So we leave off with the weapons, passing to the Largest Ontario Wolf Shifter Pack and the political power of the Wolf Shifters. Now they can settle into their twilight years together, chasing Duck Shifters from the front fountain, and keeping bear shif
The candle and a long stem lighter, so Gwenda chose to use the lighter without the candle and she heated the back of the paper. “Here goes nothing.” It took several minutes, but something appeared. “No one knows we used this trick. I had to have written it. There’s no other way this could have worked. Now what do we have? GPS coordinates, wait. There’s another set. Maybe I went back to get the coordinates?” As she move about the page, a set of seven coordinates appeared. She took the flame away, but gasped. “There’s something else here. Hold, let me reveal it too.” Everyone moved in closer and watched an eighth GPS location appear. “Either location? Where’s does that lead to?” This stumped her for a moment. “We need to plug these into a GPS system and see where they all lead to. The first one isn’t anywhere near the others.” “Of course not. The first one is in Orion’s Forest Territory. They probably scattered the others around here. I recognize the general numbers f
Finally, Asia’s plan came to fruition. Today, they would have their mating ceremony. Janine helped so much, with all the plans. She’d gone above and beyond when it came to their unique needs. But Asia now saw that it was safer for their packs to stay where they were. Penny now scared Asia with little comments, and her track record of being accurate with those comments was the reason.Asia watched the internet as information leaked out. Much of the speculation came from disbelievers and conspiracy theorists. The government and law enforcement had little to say, which only fuelled the debate more. Asia knew there was nothing to be done but to stay quiet and let the ruling council deal with it.Today was her mating ceremony, and it would be a good time in her life. It took long enough to get this far with Thomas and her pack. She wasn’t going to fool herself. There would always be someone commenting on the changes in a negative way.Those witnessing in person were minimal and all, but Ap
Karl greets the Alphas as they file into the room he’s using as a study currently. Once they’re settled with tablets, notepads, etcetera, James opened the meeting. “Alright, I think we can skip the intro to the reason for this meeting. We all know why and who we are. Okay Karl, tell us what you have found.”“Thank you, Alpha De Marre. Yes, uh, this is extremely complicated, so please bear with me as I need to explain there’s far too much back story. First, I have received some upsetting news. The latest attack by the Fae was investigated by my life partner’s enforcement team. The entire team is missing. I want to leave and go help, but I have been told not to stay here to continue working. Second, there’s supposed to be a Fianna weapons expert coming, and they are now late. Now, what I found while translating the journal. Hold on, I missed a few disturbing facts.” Karl held up a smaller book. “All original surviving copies of the translation book for the Fae language at in the univers
Karl now turned his attention to contacting his life mate, Pat. Everyone should be home. It was early there.He kept trying with no luck to connect with Pat. Karl didn’t like the feelings of isolation. Or that he didn’t know where Pat was.After some time, it forced him to decide to stop trying. He couldn’t reach anyone at home. It was as if the location was empty of life and that was far from normal. He took a break and found himself a drink and lunch. He could eat before stopping by the front desk to request that they explain how to find the room he was using to study the books in. When he identified the weapons, he did it under the view of the local arms master who ran James’ armoury. They worked together with attempting to understand what weapons killed which creatures. Some were pretty famous while others were far front known. He needed a person who understood lore and creatures from it. He knew languages used for writing magic spells and rituals. He wasn’t truly a specialist an
“Morning Karl, I have a response from the council. The Fianna will send a representative out to assist you. I’m surprised they moved this quickly. They have requested we send them via a mage driven portal rather than flighting out there. You should see them after lunch. Let the front desk know where they will find you. We’ve arranged for their stay. Now, how is the translation coming? Those weapons can’t be handed over without an understanding of what their purpose and function is.” Mages were well ahead of the everyday man. Humans finally got video calling, mages always had that. They called it scrying and Karl used it now to contact his mentor. Who was within the grand walls of the great library? Mages had to have a mentor while they studied and proved themselves. “Thank you, that’s great news. I have most of it translated. Currently, I’m attempting to build a detailed catalogue. With entries about each weapon mentioned within the journal. After that, I must identi
