It's not a road map, it's just a direction
It took less than five minutes for Marlow to realize that she was meant to be in the same place as the woman who stopped to pick her up. The spell she cast was supposed to take her where she wanted to go, but the closer they drove to the beach, the more certain she was that her spell had been hijacked to take her where she needed to be.

Something was coming, and Sydney and her daughter a part of it. Somehow. Ultimately very bad. Marlow didn't have all the answers. Hardly any answers at all, but she had a gut feeling and the voice in her head telling her to stay.

It would be helpful if Clea would give her a bigger hint than just a whisper that somebody was coming. Sure wouldn't be Santa because her luck didn't run that way.

"You know of any place around yours that I can stay?" she asked Sydney. "Somebody looking for a roommate for week or two?"

	"You're welcome," Syd replied. "Ooooh! Shiny!" Zoey reached out and took the coin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hold on to that," Marlow told Zoey. "You might need it some day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's nothing to worry about," Marlow said to Syd. "Just gold." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-13 12:35 am UTC (link)
	"Only gold," Syd muttered. Since her parents died, life had been a struggle when it came to paying bills and putting food on the table. "Zoey, what do you say?" "Thanks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She recoiled a little at Syd's tone of voice, unsure of what she did wrong. Gold was still acceptable, she thought, and shiny enough to be a toy for Zoey. The teenager inside ignored Clea's voice and looked out the car window. "You're welcome, Zoey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd made a left and then pulled the car into a small parking lot. "We're here. It's not much and it's a bad part of the city, but it's home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Home has a protection all its own." And it would have more now, Marlow resolved, as long as she was with them. And more gold coins, if she could manage to transmute them into gold instead of something like banana flavored fluff. "Thank you again for letting me stay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome, but you may not be thanking me when Zoey is waking you up in the early morning hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She won't bother me. I don't sleep much anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-13 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "Famous last words." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll have to think up more things for her to play with if she wakes me up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd chuckled. "Good luck with that," she said and opened her door. Zoey released her seat belt and crawled over to the driver's side. Syd opened the door and she slipped out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow got out the other side and stretched, looking around. She didn't see what was so bad about the neighborhood at first glance, but she didn't mind finding out. "It seems quiet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-13 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"It's not. Don't be surprised to hear gun shots in the middle of the night. Come on in," she said as motioned for her to follow. She put her key in the front door and opened it up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-06-13 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Gunshots? Marlow took an extra moment to look around, searching her mind for a spell to protect them through the night. She entered after Syd and Zoey, smiling at Zoey's bouncing. (Reply to this)(Parent)
