So, the kids were at school, I was alone, just sitting here. My life was so fun. In many ways I was like them, a child suck in an adults body. Ashton always said that I was the weirdest parent he'd ever seen. Maybe because I didn't bother to keep tabs on him, I always knew he'd come back. He'd ran away before, and, from what he had told me, trashed a lab then found Winged Ones. I liked having them around. I wondered if Annie had realized I was lying the night before. I did like fictional things, make believe, things that scientist have "proven to be mythical". What they didn't know was that my other son, Ashton's brother, had been taken from me, because he was a Winged One.
I felt a few tears roll down my cheek at the memory, and I wiped them away, standing. My heels made the loud clacking noise I was used to as I walked into the kitchen. Looking in the fridge, I realized we had no food. Having a huge group of teens in the house and only enough food to feed two--or maybe one and a half, because I was only here half the time and didn't look in the fridge most of the time--was bound to leave us with no food sooner or later.
I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen off the counter, quickly scribbling a note for them:
Hey children,
I'm going out tonight, and I might not be back until morning, or maybe midnight. Ashton knows where the money is if any of you need anything. I'm going shopping because all of you have cleaned out the fridge. Hope your first day was good.
Love,
♥Cassie♥

I put that on the fridge, a single magnet on the top to hold it there, and headed for the door, grabbing my parka and keys and heading out.
