After the dinner, they all moved into the house, the n moved to the dining room and the won sat down in the living room. Grandma Mayfair and Jennie stepped away to have a conversation, leaving Phoebe, Shanna and Luna alone.
Shanna moved to sit close to Phoebe because she felt closer to her than Luna. Even though Luna was her favorite singer, the relationship between her, Andre and Luke was complicated.
As the future sister-in-law of the two n, she decided to play it safe and not be too cozy with Luna until the awkward situation was redied.
"I was so nervous when Collin told that I would be eting you, I hope that we can beco close friends, Pheebs." Shanna said the na awkwardly like as if she wasn't sure about calling Phoebe by her petna. "Can I call you Pheebs?"
Phoebe chuckled lightly and held her hands. "I think that we will beco closer than that, I have always wanted a sister, and I am glad that I now have one."
"Two actually." Ca Luna's voice as she approached them, squeezing closer to Phoebe on the opposite side.
Phoebe's wide but shrewd eyes stared at Luna unsure about what to say. "About that we will have to talk for there is a lot that I do not understand about why you have beco entangled with my brother deliberately."
Unfazed by the threat that harbored under Phoebe's words and gaze, Luna smiled, added a shrug and sipped on so wine. "Sure, I am an open sincere book."
Shanna's bright face suddenly was covered by mild worry.
"Pheebs the vote on the petition is scheduled for tomorrow, right? I hope it goes well. My entire family is going to be there to support you, even my grandfather. I am unsure how it will turn out however because Dorothy Cook has been working hard on convincing people to vote against you." Shanna's head cocked to the side. "Speaking of Dorothy, she has been really silent today, nobody has heard from her" She added.
Lately Dorothy Cook was everywhere spamming people with phone calls to vote against Phoebe and urging them to protect the environnt of the founding lane. But today, there had been nothing from her and the gossip mill had people asking others why she was quiet.
Her words caused Luna to chuckle, the wine in her mouth spilled back into the glass. "Who knows she might never make it to her own petition hearing, I bet it will be canceled if the complaint doesn't appear."
Phoebe smacked the table lightly. "Luna what did you do?" Her horrified face stared at Luna's uncovered one, the laughs that ca from her lips only worried Phoebe.
"Shanna please excuse us, I need to speak to Luna privately." Phoebe caught Luna by the hand and dragged her out, back into the gardens.
Grandma Mayfair and Jennie were coming out of the kitchen when they saw Phoebe dragging Luna away.
"Go to Shanna, I will follow them." Old lady Mayfair said.
Slowly, she walked in the direction they had gone but she was not the only one to follow, David and Collin did the sa. Both n had just stepped out of the dining room when they saw Phoebe dragging Luna out.
With Luna's identity, they did not feel safe letting her and Phoebe be alone for a single second.
Outside, when the two won reached a point Phoebe felt was private enough, she let go of Luna's arm and imdiately quizzed her.
"What the hell did you an by that statent that you made back there? Do you think that this is Magic city where you commit cris without anyone stopping you? You will get yourself and in trouble and that trouble will co knocking on the doors of my family." Phoebe leg stamped a couple of tis.
Leaves rustled in the distance and the two won turned their eyes, expecting company. Luna even drew her guns which she had co with for the dinner. A cat cried out and leaped onto a hedge.
"Oh my God! put your guns away before you shoot Maria's cat. Why are you even ard? Please don't tell you killed Dorothy?" Phoebe groaned.
Luna put the guns back in her pockets and run her fingers through her hair. "Relax Pheebs! I have not touched Dorothy Crook yet. I am planning to abduct her tomorrow morning. If she's a no show, then that damn hearing won't go on." She studied her nails as she spoke, she couldn't see any reason as to why Phoebe was angry.
She chuckled at her own joke, calling Cook into Crook.
"Are you crazy?" Phoebe hissed. "Everyone will suspect ."
"Do it, make sure that you do it right on ti." Ca Grandma Mayfair's voice as she appeared from nowhere.
"Nana!" Phoebe gasped. She didn't know whether to be shocked because her grandmother had sneaked up on them or that she was in agreent with Luna.
"Are you both insane! I am sorry granny but what are you saying right now?" David's fra beca visible, next to him was Collin who was staring at his grandmother like he couldn't recognize her.
[Oh great! is everyone here to eavesdrop?]
She had just finished the thought when Luke appeared out of the shadows where the cat had leaped out from, he had a smile on his face.
"Grandma, are you sure one of Phoebe's ghosts hasn't possessed you? Back then you would never harm anyone! not even when Dorothy destroyed grandpa's fountain. I must say that i approve of the new changes."
Luke's words compelled David to lightly nudge him, now was not the ti to praise the old woman.
"Guys think for a fleeting second, who do you think will be the first person to be blad if Dorothy disappears? ! Everyone will know that I did it such that the hearing about the petition is canceled." Phoebe shuffled her feet for she was frustrated, besides this would ruin her plans for Dorothy totally.
David stretched his hand. "Not just that but that will make Dorothy Cook even more aggressive once you release her. And above all that guys stopping the hearing will not end it but rather post pone it. We need a permanent solution." He tried to reason with them.
Grandma Mayfair's shoulders slumped dramatically. "You are right, i just want to get rid of her badly! She ssed with , now she is after my granddaughter when will she stop?"
Luna smacked her lips. "We kill her then."
Luke pulled Luna away from Phoebe and held her in his arms tightly. "Luna what did I tell you about killing people? No more! Are you even listening or are you deaf, Pheebs will be the first suspect."
Luna wrinkled her nose. "Then David should do sothing about that Dick guy! He's behind all this, I really want to break his neck, but I am a little afraid of what the Saxon's would do to ."
Luke turned to face David. "You heard her, the mastermind is Dickson.....
"We know, even granny knows, and we have a plan. Phoebe has more Saxon's supporting her including my grandfather and as for Dorothy, her reign ends tomorrow, in a legal way that will ensure she never rises again." David assured them.
"Are you sure?" Luna's narrowed eyes studied him, she wished that she could be there but unfortunately, she couldn't as she was not from the founding families.
Nodding his head, David placed his hands on his waist. "Yes I am."
"I am going back inside." Old lady Mayfair gave her hand to Collin.
They left the gardens, and four people faced off. Phoebe turned her attention to Luna and Luke.
"I need to understand what's happening between the two of you. When did this start?" She crossed her hands.
