Bunch of lies

Light escapes through the blind curtains, and as the air passing through was soothing, Talon sat majestically on the sofa with his legs crossed in ego. The two sisters sat at the opposite sit, they put forth his coffee but he rejects the bid.

"Am here for interaction, not liquor up uneasy herbs you consider coffee"His voice was filled with irritation as he rolled his eyes in disgust, there was something wrong with the room, and what's more to predict when you're in a witches quarter.

"My apologies if that's the case, I wasn't expecting you so soon" Mariam spoke up

"I've seen what you've done to this place" Talon praised.

"It wasn't an easy task to raise a home dug in mud, somehow we get it up after you all wiggle away," Mariam said with boldness.

"There was a reason-"

"Which thought us a lesson" Mariam cut him off on his sentence.

"Besides my sister and I are happy to see you here, I know you feel uncertain right now but don't forget you are in a witch quarter. I suggest you lower your fury to avoid pressure on you" Corella, Mariam sister cracked.

" You've been taunting our practitioner, we sent over to the west side of Evlydon, I've been trying to get to you over the years now but you seem rather sheltered until I come up with a great plan to lure you" she unfurled.

"I was only helping out in Evlydon's belief of executing any practitioner, you should be lucky I just taunt the ones I found. What if I have killed them am sure you would have unleashed a war against the law" he said trying to placate his ireful tone. "And as for your ludicrous writeup, you called a threat. I merely saw it as a mask of absurdity. I only came here to see the gut of a wimpy creature who seems to have trashed her manners in the trenches."

"At least i left an impression on you" She blurt.

Talon inch closer to her, then whisper "Here, let me give you nominative advice, don't go around delivering immature writes to the populace. Me tolerating you doesn't mean I don't know what am doing. It hurts my ego to sit and interact with you but I do not want to hurt my legacy of hurting a leader and making her look weak in the presence of her subjects. My next visit won't be invited in any way. He stood intending to leave, but Mariam stood up unexpectedly and grab him by the wrist."I never lie about the unborn child. Reins is pregnant" She mutters.

His eyes slowly drawled down to where she was holding, she felt his eyes on her hands. Realizing she let go. His lips curled into a smile," I can help you look for the father if that is why you wrote me in the first place" With that he left.

" He doesn't seem to care"Corella whispered.

" At least he didn't snap our necks, we should be grateful," Mariam said biting her lower lip.

" He doesn't believe"

"Who would??? "

**************************

Talon frowned, he left the quarter to spend some time alone in the grove. For some reason, he was angry and happy. So this place was indeed built up, his home. The witches did a great job but arrived back at a place he recants after what happened years ago, bittered and bothered Cause he never saw it coming.

He leans lazily on the tree trunk, not able to believe he came back, this grove was one of the special private spaces he and his siblings once had. Revisiting here made remembrances surge through his brain. He opened his eyes only to hallucinate his past.

"You can't do it that way" Talon laughed graciously at the timid Bianca who was trying to perfect herself in arrow shooting.

" Don't laugh at her Talon beside pure-bloodied vampires don't rely on arrows and man-made pikes. We're endowed with claws, teeth, speed, and many abilities." Raul scolded. He was the eldest of them all right at the grove.

" Does that include Magic, Harold said We're no ordinary vampires, we were birth from dark and light magic. Does that make us half-vampire, half-witch" Her innocent question made a drastic laugh escape Talon's lips.

" Didn't you hear when he said we are PURE-BLOODIED Vampires? don't tell me you paid attention to those bunch of lies" He cracked and Raul shot him a glare.

Bianca's emotion flooded in as she hid behind her big brother against Talon who seem to bully her all the time Even though she was older than him.

" See Raul she keeps hiding like she's a wimp, vampires don't do that even the lowest of all stand up for themselves when they feel oppressed. Not hiding my dear. It won't do you any good. Plus you're older than me" Talon rants inadequately not minding the looks of his older brother.

Raul let off a sign of frustration, he squats down to pet the little girl, she was the smallest, and her slender figure just like her mother was good. Raul felt the little girl wasn't listening to anything he was pacifying her with. He taps her to get her attention.

"What's wrong?? " he asked concerned.

"I think I can hear a kid proposing to his lover over that way" She pointed to the other side of the grove.

Both Raul and Talon looked at each other at once and shouted in dismay"Xander!!! "

On the other side of the grove...

"Come on, I want to show you something real. " Xander smiled as he takes the little elf girl by the hand and lead her to the side of the creek." Close your eyes" he instructed and the little girl did so.

He heard the sound of muffled voices, behind the bushes, he knew it was his troublesome sibling plotting to ruin his day whenever he is with a pretty lady. He ignores them as he doesn't have time to spare.

He brought out a box and opened it, the girl was excited as she waits patiently for him to instruct her to open her eyes.

"Open your eyes" He finally said, before she could open her eyes he felt a cool breeze pass between them sending a shiver down his spine. Before he knew what was happening he heard the girl scream loud that she fell into the flowing water with frogs on her. She is irked at the sight. With anger, she rains curses on the young vamp before storming out with rage and disgust.

" What was that for??? "Xander's face was red in embarrassment.

" Oh, brother you forgot to invite us to your little gift party "Raul chuckles.

" Well I didn't want you all here 'cause you would ruin it like always" Xander blurts.

" And how does not inviting us helps? " Talon questioned.

"Xander, don't forget our vow, 'Always and forever' okay? " Bianca reminded him of their vow to be there for each other. He growls in annoyance and stamps his foot on the ground repeatedly.

Recalling all these memories in the grove made Talon unconsciously laugh. He missed his childhood.

" Always and forever, where are you all? " he said in diverse feeling.
