TABLES HAVE TURNED

I paced up and down the forest scratching my head in frustration at the fact that Tatian had made a demand and my heart beat so fast when she commanded me.

" What the fuck is wrong with you Jasper" I cursed and rubbed my face.

Why was I feeling this gnaw in my heart by the fact that she came to me and commanded me to come back home? I was in love with Emmet, right? Tatian was my adopted daughter. That was all. I convinced myself of this and then left the forest after packing up the camping gear and slowly walked back home in the middle of the night. By the time I arrived home, the lights were still on and I found Tatian seated by the fireside and a glass of whiskey was in her hand.

" You finally came " She spoke with a calmness that made my skin crawl.
