NATASHA'S POVPeter went home before my siblings or my parents got home that day.I told them during lunch that Peter was back and they were all excited to hear that, especially Piper, the little devil.My parents wanted to know if everything was going okay at school and if I was being bullied.I had no idea how I was able to convince them. I was terrible at lying after all.Dinner went by as usual and I eventually went to bed, feeling happier now that Peter was back.As much as I told myself that I didn't want to rely on Peter, because he was an elite as well and I couldn't necessarily trust him to completely be on my side.I couldn't hide my excitement or the feeling of relief I felt since he saved me from Meredith and her gang of evil witches.As I fell asleep, I actually felt excited about going to school the next day. Meredith or Sasha or anyone won't be able to pick on me anymore.Funny. I had envied Layla and even Bobby for finding themselves elites who could protect them from

NATASHA'S POV It was an excursion.
