"You’re unwell, Evelyn. You should be resting, not wandering the city." "I’m more afraid of the 'sickness' inside this house than anything outside of it," Evelyn replied, heading straight for her room. As she set her bag down, her eyes immediately locked onto the book on her nightstand. She was a woman of survivalist habits—the tassel on her bookmark had been perfectly straight this morning. Now, it was tangled. Someone had been in her room.

Raven The much-anticipated homecoming week fell upon us and after a long week of series of events, the homecoming dance was taking place tonight. The school was packed with past students who were eager to come back to their alma mater. My dorm was rowdy with girls getting ready and pumped up about the homecoming dance. Clarissa had sent me an expensive striped jumpsuit, knowing that I hated wearing dresses. It was breathtakingly beautiful, with intricate shimmery threads and sequins running down the sides.

Zane Well. Today’s the big day. Homecoming: the first official dance of the school season. A celebration of school spirit, hormonal chaos, and spending an entire week pretending you don’t care about any of it. Except, of course, you do. Everyone does. Even me. Which is unfortunate, really. Because these things? They’re basically peacock conventions for people with too much money and too many opinions about sequin placement.

“This place reeks.” “There’s a cow paddock literally right next to us,” Hazel huffed, rolling her eyes. “In half a minute, all we’ll be able to smell is fire.” “That’s not any better,” Max grumbled. His insistence on complaining for the entire duration of the five minute walk was becoming overbearing, and it took everything in Hazel’s power not to shrug away his touch disdainfully. Instead, she sucked in a deep breath, cinching her fingers tighter around the lead in her hand.

The title was simple, elegant, and deeply personal: Homeward Bound. The artwork depicted a warm, glowing house surrounded by trees, a pathway leading toward an open door. It wasn’t just any house. It was ours. Luca gasped. “Dad, that looks like our home!” Tears blurred my vision as I nodded. “Because it is,” I whispered. I opened the book, flipping through the pages. Each chapter told a piece of our journey, weaving together themes of love, resilience, and chosen family. The final page held the dedication, one I had written months ago but had never read aloud.

Alice snarled in disgust. “Have you tried to smooth it out?” Kendra asked with gentle sincerity. “It’s damaged from exposure during the war,” Alice sighed. “I was just an infant and, then, the people who took me in barely cared for my basic needs, let alone try to help me keep my looks. I lived the life of a wanderer. It was a hard life out in the elements with survival always at a precarious level. It wasn’t until I met Arthur and he took me to HOPEVILLE that I knew any type of stability and comfort.”

A Homecoming was a peculiar experience. The house was exactly as I had remembered it—warm, cozy, with soft laughter and the soothing hum of a life I had lived. My uncle and aunt greeted me like I had never been away. My sister, although a little standoffish at first, soon got back into the habit of poking fun at me the way she used to. We had dinner together, a simple meal, but the best I had eaten in years. Not because of the food, but because of the people. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was part of something normal.
