Seventeen and so out of here

[Willow Holland]

Willow would have moved out anyway. She didn't even know why she had stayed so long after her seventeenth birthday anyway. She could have gone at any time she wanted to go. Then again Willow knew that Penelope would have never allowed. Penelope was convinced that her enemies where after her. All the people she had stolen from, all the people she had betrayed in her line of work where all out to get her in Penelope's mind and they would use Willow as a way to get to her. What Penelope didn't know was that there where no enemies for Willow other than the ones she had made herself.

Very few people knew that Willow was in fact Penelope's daughter and not Pandora's as was said on her birth certificate. Penelope's fear was suffocating and Willow wanted nothing to do with it. She had a place to move into now. She was going to share the apartment with Jon and live there. They had already talked about it and thought it was a good thing. She still didn't know if what she felt for him was love or not but she knew that she wanted to be with him. Her mother always said that if you wanted to know someone for sure you had to live with them.

Willow packed up one of the few boxes that she had in the room here. Penelope never moved a lot of stuff with them thinking that Willow would eventually grow into a girly girl and fill the room up again. Willow never did. She liked to travel light. Most of what she had was clothes and shoes. The only thing she did to her hair was brush it out and she would be damned if she was going to start waring make up. This lack of femininity made the moves easy and Willow was sure that Jon would appreciate not having to zap endless boxes away.

Jon stood waiting around the foyers for his girlfriend to get her things set up. He offered a hand to help her gather up her belongings, but she refused it. With little less of owning more than a few boxers, he was glad it wasn't going to be a hassle today. But something was going on his mind, something about her mother showing in the mist of waiting for Willow didn't set to well for Jon. He's heard about Penelope, plenty of this information coming from both Esme and Willow.
They weren't anything he would picture his girlfriend relative to be. But its like they say you can't chose who's your relatives and what not. Lucky for him he hadn't had that problem since his sister and him were young. Plenty of times he wish he never been related to her. That change overtime when you get older.
"Babe are you almost done?" he called into the hallways. Jon relationship with Willow been taking another step further to seriousness. He wanted to say he was falling for her badly. Maybe even say close to owning her heart. But as much as he wanted to say she had a great influence over him, there's something that hunts him more each night in his sleep. That something will never go away no matter how many years have passed. Zuka will always be a part of him, he just had to let go one day. If not, he would be fighting a unwanted battle with his own mind.

Willow was happy for once. She had someone that cared for her though she wasn't sure that if she was going to be able to help him all that much with his trouble sleeping. Willow didn't know what it was all about but when she woke up some nights she would find his side of the bed empty. It worried her but Willow decided to let it pass. Willow heard him calling out to her and Willow shook her head. "Just this box to make go away and we'll be able to get the hell out of here." She said.

Willow didn't want to add before because she knew that right then and there Penelope Paradox would come storming through that door. Crazy lady of the ages Willow couldn't believe that the woman had tried to convince her that she was her daughter. Willow knew in her heart that it was true but this didn't mean that she would have to admit it out loud. As far as Willow was concerned her mother was killed that night by Death Eaters. Even thinking it triggered Penelope it seemed because she heard a bang at the door.

Paranoia was what kept Penelope alive and doing her job well. Tonight Penelope had a feeling that things where about to change and she made her way back to the house. Willow, her one and only daughter that she had given away all those years ago, was itching to leave the safety that Penelope had made for her with hard work and some cleverness. The world out there was not kind to people like them and Penelope was making sure that Willow could live in a place where she didn't have to worry about anything. She wasn't even sure that Willow knew what was going on with Penelope.

This was at least what Penelope thought. The reality was much different. Penelope had been a thief for so long that it had started to get to her a few years ago. Now it made her fully crazy. Penelope was always looking over her shoulder, making sure that everything was in the exacts same place she had left it, making sure that the wards around the house where strong enough to deflect anyone. Penelope was running from enemies that where not there. "Willow I'm honey." She said sweetly as she climbed the stares. She had over looked the boy there. In Penelope's world he didn't exist yet. Only when she saw that Willow's room was empty except for the box in her hands did Penelope's smile fade.

"Okay take your time, no rush" Jon called out from the foyers. He had been pacing back and forth, thinking about when it will be right for his parents to meet Willow. Maybe soon he thought, Jon kept wondering back and forth some more. He turn his eyes up when he heard someone new come inside the house. Jon made eye contacts immediately, her face seem so familiar. She resemble Willow so much, it was hard not to say that they were related. It kept Jon spellbound for a second, just every featured cried out Willow. Jon figure their genes were strong, Willow just carried her aunt's look. "Willow? Ummm, think your aunt here?" he called out again, waiting to see what happen go down already. This is what he was tryna avoid just a couple minutes ago. Now he would be dealing with the two bickering relatives. Jon was never good with bickering relatives, he tried his best to ignore them at all cause. Seems like its not his lucky day afterall.

Willow made the box in her hands dissaper then turned to look at Penelope. Seconds after she heard Jon calling that Penelope was here. "Thanks baby I know!" She called back then looked at her aunt. "Yeah I'm going what of it?" She hissed. She could tell the agrumant that was going to come up out of this. Willow was hoping to be gone by the time Penelope got back so she could avoid all this but Penelope seemed to have radar when it came to things like this. When it came to things that she didn't like that meant. Willow had her hands on her hips and waited for Penelope to say something.

 

[Penelope Paradox]

Penelope saw the boy but chose to not except him into her world yet. She had to realize that he was there though when Willow said that she was leaving. "How could you do this Willamina? You know what's out there you know the risks your taking by leaving the wards that I've put up." She said whispering as if someone where listening at this very moment. Penelope was convinced that enemies where all around her. She could not trust anyone, not even the walls. If Willow hated her for it then it was just as well. Penelope conveniently forgot that she had lied to Willow for more than thirteen years. At this stage Penelope forgot what she wanted to forget and remembered only what made her world some what better for herself.

Jon felt already unwelcome by Willow's aunt. She hardly acknowledge he was standing there and that her eyes only seem to make out Willow alone and no one else. He felt uncomfortable, a bit strange inside her aunt's home without being wanted. "Babe can we go? Please I need to get back to practice" he requested before her aunt. He even reached for her hand, giving her a tap on the lips. "You don't have nothing to explain to here, your seventeen. Legal here and America" he pointed this out to her.
