Amulet of Rome part 2 t

Cassie awoke to the sound she was used to- children yelling. Her three kids Lila ( age 5) Lilly (14) and Summer (12) were fighting over the bathroom. She stood up and marched out into the hallway because James always slept through it.

    When she arrived little Lila was crying. She saw her mother and ran to her. "Summy told me that grandma died"! I picked Lila up and rocked her. "Grandma is at home sleeping and she is alive". Ushering Lila to my room I sent her to wake James up. I marched over to Summer.

  "We told you Summer, that telling your sister about Mrs.Romes was unacceptable at her age" I hissed.Summer stiffled a giggle. "Dad said Lila needs to know the truth and not think that dads mom is sleeping and your mom is on vaction" Summer argued. My head was pounding. Summer the middle child was the quick and free spirtied child unlike Lilly who was laid back and shy.

  I went to my room where James was putting on a tie. "James did you tell Summer something you didn't mention to me"? At the sound of my voice he turned. " Cassie, our children should know  the truth- "at a certain age" I finished. "We'll talk about it later he said and left for work.

  I got dressed and went to the kitchen to my  girls eating eggs and bacon. "Who cooked"? I questioned. Summer turned. "Lilly finally mastered the egg" she said very bored like. I ran to the 14 year old and hugged her. "I told you your time would come"!

  Lilly looked at me. "Yeah" she smiled sheepishly. "School bus"! Lila cried. The girls ran to the door and stopped when I didn't follow. "Girls Im calling you in sick" I whispered picking up the phone. They cheered. A brilliant Mrs. Romes plan was on my mind.
