Revelations #2
My sister in law began to scroll through them. On the tenth picture I pointed, “That’s the room. How do you have that?” Serenity turned her phone around and gasped, “Are you sure?” I nodded. She pulled up another picture.
My sister in law asked, “Not this one?” I shrugged, “That looks like Luke’s dad’s place. Same drab decor, but no that’s not where Lily was. It wasn’t them. Their whole area is devoid of hope. I didn’t feel that way when I was there. Lily’s apparently mad at Darwin and Luke.”
Serenity asked, “Why?” I snorted, “Because they aren’t better at being stealthy murderers. At least my murderers anyway. She said that if they didn’t stop making mistakes she’d give me to someone else. Well, the jokes on her. Luke will take that as a challenge and up his crazy. He’ll do it.”
Serenity sighed, “People tend to make mistakes when they think they hold all the power.” I snorted, “Lily definitely thinks she does. She basically took credit for turning my mom into who she is. I’m pretty sure Lily,” I spat her name out like it was dirt, “made my mom turn away from Noxus.”
Serenity sighed, “Morgana made her choices.” I nodded, “I agree. I just think it might matter to Noxus that she might not have done it if not for the puppet master.” Serenity sighed, “Maybe.” I frowned, “Wouldn’t it matter to you with Caspian?”
Serenity smiled, “Cas would never do what his mom did. She has designs to rule…” I snorted, “Like mother like daughter, I guess. Oh shit! Am I going to power hungry and crazy? Can my dad’s DNA cancel that out? Because I will be seriously pissed if it can’t.”
Serenity laughed, “I don’t think you do have the capacity.” I asked, “Huh? Capacity to do what?” Serenity answered, “To go dark.” I snorted, “Well, that’s something. Can water be mad at you?” Serenity became serious quickly, “What water were you in that felt angry?”
I shrugged, “A pond. It’s never felt angry before. I’ve been in it a few times doing weird stuff. This time wasn’t weird though. Well, I don’t think it was.” Serenity asked, “What were you doing?” I answered blushing, “Having sex.”
I heard a gag and turned around. Cython was standing behind me. My brother waved his hands in the air groaning, “No, I didn’t hear that. Nope. Not me. No, no.” The man beside him hit Cython, “She’s a sexual being who has met her song. She can have all the sex she wants, wherever she wants.”
I snorted, “We probably could’ve been arrested if we were caught. Not that anything would’ve happened, because my boyfriend’s family owns the town. I just accept that I can get away with these things now. God, my life is insane.”
Cython shook his head, “I can’t talk to my little sister about sex.
” The man kissed my brother then said, “Then I will. Go on and leave so we can have girl talk. I’ll spare you the gory details later.
” I flushed, “I’m not giving gory details!
” The man wiggled his eyebrow, “Enter Harish.” He shooed Cython away then skipped over to us.
Harish waved, “So, you were having sex. Continue.” Serenity offered, “In a pond, that felt angry to her.” Harish’s eyes widened, “I’ll get Cython back in here.” I cringed, “Please, don’t.” They shot each other a strange look.
I quickly added, “Do you have to get him if the water suddenly stopped feeling angry? I could actually feel the water turn into this peaceful calm place. As if…” I trailed off unable to finish that sentence. Harish whispered, “As if what?” I sighed, “It’s crazy.”
Harish smiled, “I’m mated to Cython.” My brother in law didn’t continue. I asked, “Was that the end of that sentence? I don’t understand what that means.” Harish laughed, “You cute thing you. I live in crazy every day. Hit me with whatever you think is crazy as I’m sure it’s not.”
I frowned, “Cython doesn’t seem crazy.” Harish laughed, “He’s the best kind of crazy and I adore him. Now what happened with the water?” I sighed, “It was as if I could feel every particle, maybe even control it.” My head burst in pain forcing me to my knees clutching my head.
Serenity grabbed my face, “Think about your song boy.” I smiled as Keaton filled my thoughts. The pain immediately receded. Sassy was annoyed. I’d basically given her a face in my mind, and I could just picture her lips pursing with a sour face. I guess the headaches annoyed her too.
Harish was staring at me. I stood, “I’m ok.
” Harish snorted, “Yes, you are. Serenity.” Serenity replied, “I know.” I asked, “Know what?” Harish snorted, “That we need to have a serious family meeting.” I frowned, “How? I never know when I’m coming here, and lately I just get paraded around to my horrible grandparents. ”
Harish raised an eyebrow asking, “Did she just say grandparents? With an s? As in Alon and...” I interrupted, “Lily, yeah.” Harish’s jaw dropped, “So not his current wife.” I shook my head, “Nope.” Harish whistled, “That’s bad.”
Serenity snorted, “You want bad. This is where Odette saw her.” She flipped her phone around.
Harish said, “Ok, so Cython will now be his bad crazy, but it’s justified and understandable.
” I frowned, “Why?” Harish asked, “Can you come around more often? Because since you have entered our life, I get so much sex.”
Serenity snorted, “You were having so much sex before Odette came into our lives.” Harish smiled, “Yes, but our sister in law has unlocked this need Cython has to be in control. All because he can’t be with his little sister. I love it.”
I covered my ears wishing I did not hear that. I was pulled away from them. Serenity yelled, “If you need us you get to water. Any body, or type of water, and wish for any of us. Do you understand?” I snorted, “Understand? No. I don’t understand any of this.”
I woke up in bed with Keaton. I sighed. Caspian, that guy in my dream, and now Serenity, had told me if I got to water, I could get to them. I scoffed thinking over her words. Do I understand? I think I’m some sort of mutant. Maybe that’s it.
Mom had me genetically altered by science so I can do weird things.
It was literally crazy, but it didn’t make my head hurt.
Which had me pausing. My head didn’t hurt, so it was wrong.
Ok, so I just needed to think about times when my head hurt.
That had to mean I was close to figuring it out. Right?
I got up and went into the kitchen with Tatum following me. I quickly took her outside and brought her back in. I told her, “I’m losing it. I’m trying to track down thoughts that gave me a headache to figure out something my own mind doesn’t want me to figure out.”
I asked, “Is it my own mind though? Do I have the answer, and I had like shock therapy to forget? Was I programmed? I wouldn’t remember that, right?
It doesn’t feel right though. There has to be a reason I get a headache when I’m onto something.
I have to stop thinking about it. I can’t tell my brothers where I am. I literally couldn’t, that’s weird.”
My head started to hurt. I groaned and started opening cabinets. I found everything to make chocolate pancakes. I stared at the mix. I looked at Tatum, “Lily said Lux was ripped away from me. That means he didn’t just leave me, right?”
I reasoned, “Ripped away implies he didn’t have a choice.
That sounds like my mom honestly. She’s apparently punishing Darwin by not talking to him.
She’s ignored my older brothers since Lux was born, maybe even before.
It clearly wouldn’t bother her not to talk to Lux after his dad got custody. ” Tatum nodded.
I sighed, “I swear you understand me. I’ll give myself a ten percent margin of hope that Lux didn’t actually abandon me.
” Tatum huffed. I laughed, “Don’t give me that look.
If my big brother did walk away, and never look back, it would hurt worse with false hope.
We will keep our hope at ten percent. Ok? ” I swear my puppy rolled her eyes.
I began to cook and hum. Sassy was back to her happy self, which made me happy. My grandparents were getting a tongue lashing my style if they upset her again. Sassy didn’t deserve their attitudes. Hell, WE didn’t deserve it.
I had nothing to do with their politics and games. They had no right to use me as a pawn for being born. I didn’t have a choice in that. They needed to get over their plans because I wasn’t playing anymore. I liked where my life was going for once, and they weren’t going to take that from me.
My mood drastically improved while I cooked chocolate pancakes.
When Keaton joined me, I was instantly ready for sexy time.
We clearly had that effect on each other.
Keaton literally never needed recovery time, my man was always ready to go.
It had to be painful to walk around so ready all the time. How did he get anything done?
We did eventually eat the pancakes. They weren’t as good as Lux’s. I wondered what his secret ingredient was. Maybe one day my big brother will get the chance to tell me. I had to hold onto hope that I’d find him.
Considering I’d found a random relative of ours with his name. How many of those could there be? How many would Caspian set up more to see if I’d contact them? Caspian was really smart so I had literally no way of knowing. DRAT!
Keaton and I couldn’t get enough of each other the rest of the weekend. Eventually, my boyfriend needed to go get clothes. I pouted which nearly had him staying, but he did need clothes for school. When he left, I called Immy.
My friend answered, “You’ve surfaced from your sex claiming dungeon.” I snorted, “Claiming?” Immy stammered, “Uhhh well….” I interrupted, “It works, I guess. I was calling to say, we’ve got to ditch those guys guarding us more often.”
