Rachel

I can't believe he'd ask me to do that. I sat invisible for a few moments before I stood up and took a deep breath. Jared was in the shadows as well so I could be there in a flash and back. I took another deep breath and took a single step, which for most people would have not been sufficient to reach him, but for me, well it came naturally. I quickly pressed my lips to Jared's and backed away. I took me seat and noted his surprise. He didn't look upset though.

The light returned to normal and my invisibility faded. Everyone looked confused except Jared and my brother. I spun the bottle and to my surprise it landed on Jared.

"Great I just get here and it's my turn," He smirked. Before I could ask he said, "Dare."

"I want to go flying with you," I grinned. "That would be fun."

Most of those present had never seen his power and didn't know what I was talking about.

"Alright," He spun the bottle and it landed on Daila. "You continue for me. We'll be back later, I have some things to pick up while I'm out. We may not be back until the rest of you are in bed so don't wait up."

I loved the way he took charge, not because he took charge but because he was so confident in himself. He said it and everyone listened, not that he was telling them anything abnormal. I went outside with him, it was my first time outside since he'd brought me here after being shot.

"How's your shoulder?" He said as if reading my thoughts.

I rubbed it with my hand and smiled, "I had a good doctor, it's doing good. I think we heal faster than normal humans."

He only nodded, "Do you want to fly now or after we pick up the goods?"

"Why don't we fly to pick up the goods?" I wondered.

"It's harder to carry while flying that fast," He stopped and thought about something. "Speaking of which how are you planning to hold on at supersonic speeds?"

"Well," I made a face. "I didn't really think you had to go that fast."

Now he seemed to understand, "Oh, you want a leisure flight."
