Fifteen

"How was your day, Peter?" Aunt May asks.

I mouth 'Not bad.'

"Good. I made you some hot tomato soup." Aunt May smiles.

'Thanks.' I mouth.

"Peter... I've got bad news." Aunt May says.

I look at her. Oh no... what now?

"I'm being asked by Julia to go on a special work trip across Europe." Aunt May says.

'That's good.' I mouth.

"She wants me to leave tomorrow but I can't just leave you." Aunt May says.

I stand up. Aunt May has always talked about wanting to go back to Europe. The place where she met Uncle Ben. The place where she fell in love. I take her hand. I'm not going to hold her back. I know this is good for her.

'Go on.' I mouth.

"Don't be ridiculous, Peter. You've barely recovered." Aunt May says.

'I'll be fine. I've been on my own before.' I mouth.

"Well... Julia does seem desperate." Aunt May says.

'Don't worry. I have my own guardian angel.' I mouth.

"His Aunt is leaving my king."

"Good." I say.

"Shall we take him?" 

"No." I say.

"But my king-" 

"He has an annoying spider watching over him." I say.

"We can kill him easily."

"No. The artifact has not reached its full power. It's not dark enough." I say.

"Yes my king."

"Soon my friend. Soon all the world will be ours." I chuckle.
