Ch. 28 - Rebel Spirit

I was in the nursery with the girls when the obnoxious sound of revving motorcycle engines interrupted our quite morning.

When I looked out side to see who was causing such a ruckus I was shocked to discover it was my own children. 

It seemed Davin taught the twins to drive during their stay with him.  Speaking of the devil my cell starting ringing as Cyrena and Calictus pulled into the driveway.

"Hey Aphrodite I was just calling to let you know the twins learned how to drive during their stay and to celebrate the pack pitched in and got them each a gift," Davin rushed out.

"You shouldn't have waited till the last minute to tell me this Davin."  I was furious if I'd known about the twins getting motorcycles I would have made sure they got ones that didn't sound like a herd of elephants with bronchitis.  The noise complaints were sure to start pouring in.

"I'm sorry I just didn't want to ruin the surprise.  The bikes are still a bit loud how about I come over and give them a tune up tomorrow?"  With thoughts of Davin working on the machines under the sunlight in my head I suddenly wasn't angry any more.

"That will be fine," I replied with a smile.

Learning how to drive and getting their own motorcycles from their pack put the two in such high spirits they transformed before the full moon.  

Unfortunately the stay with their father had done little for Cyrena's mood swings.  Her mood had become worse when she learned the boy she wanted to ask to prom was going with another. 

"Jeez Cyrena!  Haven't you heard of not shooting the messenger?   All I did was read a text not set the two of them up myself."

"Oh toughen up you big baby.  I'm going out so cover for me." 

Cyrena dressed in her leather biking clothes and rolled her bike out of the drive way to visit the homes of the offending teens.

Cyrena laughed from the side of the street as the boy came home from his part-time job to the surprise she left on his porch.

Her next stop was to egg his date's front door.  Cyrena wasn't as sneaky as she thought she was because she got caught for vandalism and breaking curfew.

I was dancing with the girls to Alesia's latest album when I got the call.

After putting the girls to bed and rousing Bonehilda from her coffin to watch over the house I went down to the police department to pick Cyrena up.

"So help me Cyrena you pull another stunt like that again and I'll take away your hunting rights.  If you want to get that bike out of impound you'll have to get a job and pay the fees yourself," I fumed.  "To carry on like that because of a boy is beyond ridiculous.  You are a Divine if one boy does not want you snap your fingers and ten more will fall at your feet."

Cyrena slumped her shoulders.  "I know and I'm sorry mom I just really liked him and he chose someone else."

I pulled Cyrena to me in a hug.  "Oh Cyrena rejections never feel good but if he refused a daughter of Aphordite it means that the feelings he and this girl have are true."

"I understand," Cyrena sighed and went to bed.  

I went over to the bar to make myself an energy drink.  The girls birthday was tomorrow and there would be five teenagers under my roof.  I needed to stock up on potent invigorating elixirs.
