Half Moon 11

    Kat notices she struck a nerve, "Is something wrong?"

    No one would look her in the eye, and for a moment, all is silent. Finally, Patty says with a nervous giggle, "Oh my, we seem to be out of treats."

    The plate was still half full, but Kat plays along, "Oh dear, I will get some more."

    "You don't have to," Aadi mildly objects.

    "Of course I do, I am the host," Kat says sweetly and takes the plate out of the room. But she didn't take it to the kitchen where the extra food was. Instead, she leans against the wall just outside the doorway and listens.

    "We should tell her," Annice starts sounding worried.

    "We can't," Patty responds.

    "But she needs to know. Or would you rather her learn the hard way," Aadi adds.

    "But she's weak she can't help us," Patty counters.

    Behitha says, "We should not underestimate a woman's strength. It hasn't attacked in several weeks so another strike should happen soon.  It doesn't normally go after newcomers so she should be safe for the moment, but we won't be able to hide it from her after."

    There were mutters of objections, but no one outright disagrees. Kat waits a few more seconds before entering the room again. "I brought more," She smiles and sets the plate down on the table.

    "Thanks," Patty says.

    "We should be going, but I hope you will be willing to help my son with history. It's his worst subject," Annice says.

    "Of course, I would be happy to help any of your kids that need it. Just send them over when you can."

    The ladies nod, and Kat takes them to the door. Once the door closes behind her guests, she can't help but smile and waits for Cade to come home.

    But when Cade comes back, he has someone with him...

    Heath.
