thought you would freak out, but apparently you have a little of your brother in you.” His suddenness made her laugh.
“Was that supposed to be a compliment?” Connor crossed his arms while faking a pouting bottom lip.
“For you or for her?” Kara’s three hundred year old sister-in-law questioned with a hint of a laugh.
He looked down at her and then to the rest of them . “What’s this? Pick on Connor day?” The three nodded with zealous enthusiasm. He sighed in total de feat as they all playfully ganged up on him.
He walked over and opened his bag to put on his sleeveless black shirt. Mark took the hint and also put on a fresh silver t-shirt. As the boys finished tucking the i r shirts in; they put on their camping packs and Sarah did the same. Connor helped her fasten the pack securely to her abdomen and her breast.
Taking one last look at the campsite Kara noticed that everything was secure and nothing of theirs had been left behind . She looked beyond the clearing , to the adjacent mountain and smiled at the majestic beauty of nature.
The four of them walked back to the brown jeep , following Connor as he led them safely back. Kara sat i n the front passe nger seat on the way back home. It was now about midday when he broke the peaceful silence. “I have thought about it and I think that the two of you should meet at my house tomorrow at around five in the morning , before the sun rises .”
Connor held Sarah’s hand as she rested her head on his arm , on the way back h ome in Mark’s jeep. He caught her off guard and half asleep when he told Mark and Kara his plan. Kara turned in her sea t to look back at Connor while Sarah spotted Mark’s eyes glancing in the rear view mirror. “Why should we be there so early in the morning , Brother?”
“So that we can all get there beforehand.” He squeezed Sarah’s hand gently.
“What else are you planning?” Mark asked warily , smiling in the mirror.
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Her mate said in a dismissive voice. Fully lucid now she contacted Connor’s mind. “Can you tell me?” Sarah said , almost pleading because he was heavily guarding his mind for some reason . All she could see i s his mental block of green eyes that were closing off that part of his mind.
He looked down at her and smiled warmly . “Sure, but make it quick Princess. We are almost within range of your parent’s mental reach.”
Sarah glanced out the side of the vehicle and realized that they were only a few miles away from their destination. She turned to look at him as she pushed her thoughts into his now unguarded mind. When she found his plan Sarah giggled at the mental picture of what Connor is going to ask Mark to do.
Sarah turned slowly to see Kara intently reading her expression s and trying to decipher it . “What was so funny?”
“ We ’ ll see how things turn out in the morning. Then I might explain the joke. ” Connor put in. He turned to look at Sarah “Make s ure your mind is guarded . I don’t want to tip off either Jillian or Jack. They’ve been good in that they’ve yet to touch my sister’s mind. She instantly erected a menta l barrier of the mark that was seared into Connor ’ s chest . Her mind became closed to all, except to Connor . “Thank you. Well , let’s visit them first , to keep off suspicion. The only worry we will really have is if they read Kara’s mind. Mark will be unreadable to them because he’s protected as a Changer , but Kara is like an open book for them . It is a must that we keep them from jumping the gun, but especially from Jillian because she can tell that you are lying from a single glance. ”
“But she isn’t as good as you are in that department.” He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the lips, but it was just enough because Sarah could still fe e l the warm impression of his lips as if he w ere still continuing.
“Get a room!” Kara exclaimed while she turned around in her seat ,
