Skye Prower

"Good," said Melody, half relieved, half chastising! --------------- "I can do that." replied Ziona, hugging Glen tight and wrapping her tail around him.

"Don't go scaring us like that again Dad," pleaded Melody quietly. ---------- "Oh I'm sure it is Glen," she replied.

Melody smiled and hugged Locke again. -------------- "You better not," said Ziona as a joke warning.

"We'll be here to help you get better Daddy," said Melody. ------------- "Maybe I'll let you," said Ziona playfully, swishing her tail towards Glen. "As long as you play gently."

"Don't worry about it Dad. Just get better," said Skye. ----------- "You're keeping me in suspense? Shame on you! At least you're giving me something worthwhile in the meantime!"

"It's best we don't talk about it then," said Anna. ------------ "Maybe, but I think you said you had something else in mind?" asked Ziona.

"And that would be?" asked Ziona with a smirk, hiding her disappointment that Glen hadn't been enjoying himself.

"What do you remember dad?" asked Skye, "but don't try too hard." ------------- Ziona glanced at Glen. "You seem to be a bit.. put off by this."

"You collapsed... at the cafe. Don't you remember?" asked Melody. ------------ "Now watch carefully," said Ziona, as she began to talk and show Glen through the steps.

"Hi Dad. Your back at Haven," said Anna -------------- "First," said Ziona picking up her milkshake. "I'm gonna need to show you how to make these properly!"

"Dad?" asked Skye as he saw Locke's eye open. "That it, we're all here." "C'mon Dad, wake up. Don't be lazy," said Melody. ----------- "Hmm, I sure I can think of one or two things," said Ziona with a smile.

Skye continued pleading for Locke to wake, while Melody hugged him again. ------------------------ "So what shall we schedule for your next lesson?" asked Ziona.

"He's stirring," said Skye. "C'mon Dad. Wake up." --------------- "Ah, you're learning," joked Ziona

"You're leaving it up to me are you?" asked Ziona, moving a little closer.

"Don't worry Anna. We'll have a long talk with Dad when he wakes about this," said Melody ------------- "Or am I around around to protect you as well?" asked Ziona still smiling.

"I was meaning... stuff like the attack this morning... my arguing... we could have given him more time...." said Anna -------------- "My own little protector?" asked Ziona with a smile.

"But if we'd known, we could have stopped this from happening," said Anna. -------------- "I guess so, but in my case, I probably still need to watch over these children," replied Ziona

"Why... Why didn't he tell us? Warn us?" asked Anna

"Dad... Dad changed himself?" asked Skye shocked. "No wonder he had a hang-up about that ritual," murmured Melody, glancing at Anna.

"S-sorry Mom. But somethings really wrong with Dad and they're not telling us what!"

"It better be a $@*&% good reason if he's not gonna tell us what's happening here." growled Melody

"That sounds important," commented Skye

"Then tell us so we can make sure it never happens again," pleded Melody

"Why are you holding out on us?" Melody screamed, "Why won't you tell us?" "Melody, calm down, please," begged Skye.
