The Cards You've Hidden, Been Dealt & are on the Table

Chapter Six-Trevor

Hey guys so I originally had in "Galway Girl" by Ed Sheeran for this chapter by random song but someone suggested "Where's My Love" by SYML for this chapter so hear it is. I think it actually fits the perspective of the boys a bit on how they feel. They want their siblings back, they want their blood back, they want them to return home and they feel lost and empty without them. I'm sure you can make other connections as well.

If you want to hear it I'll put it at the bottom of the chapter and if you ever think of a song while reading let me know. Or if you want a song featured let me know maybe it will become part of the story. But I will definitely put it in a chapter as a feature for you.

So here you go chapter six.

     When the twins were taken I was ten and I used to be the brother that they would come to do anything artsy because I would let them go crazy with the fingerpaints even though I was only ten. They would come to me and say "Ev paint." As they would wobble over on their chubby little legs. They couldn't pronounce the tr so they just called me Ev and it kind of stuck.

     Now seeing them sitting in front of me is surreal. My now fifteen year old youngest siblings are sitting in front of me after fourteen years and now art for me is more than finger painting but is now my passion.

     We have just settled onto the jet and Lilliana is snuggled up into Lucas looking exhausted and ready to drop. The concern etched clearly onto Lucas' face causes him to speak up.

     "Hey Lil, why don't you take a nap. Today was an exhausting enough day for you before that damn thief and now it's only gotten more tiring. Rest up I'll be right here the whole time." The way he spoke was so soft like he was speaking to a crying infant trying to soothe them. The love and concern prominent in both his voice and face.

     "Alright Lu. Wake me up when we're close." With that she snuggled into Lucas farther and he adjusted the jacket on her and then curled his arm around her again. Within a few minutes she was out like a light. I wonder what it was that made their day so exhausting before the whole incident that we met because of.

     Soon after the peaceful silence was broken by Vince as he began a conversation with Lucas. "So when we get back would you still like to do the DNA test or..." His volume was soft, careful not to wake Lilliana as it was clear she needed her rest.

     "At this point I believe that we're related but I guess proof won't hurt so yeah I guess." I was relieved to hear that he believed us I mean if he didn't then we might be facing some lash back from them.

     "Okay we'll do that then. Once you have been introduced to the rest of our brothers we'll take some blood, hair and saliva samples and I'll test them. I'm a doctor so I can do it. I even have a setup at home so I can get it done quickly."

     "Yeah, we can do that you can just do mine though she doesn't need to get stuck too." And that folks wasn't a request but an order. His tone was firm and it was clear he didn't want Lilliana to have to go through the whole blood draw process, probably just wanting to make sure she didn't have to go through the hassle of it.

     "Sure that works. On another note what school did the two of you attend so we can get your records?" Vincent always the one to cover his bases.

     "Crest high. It wasn't a great school though so good luck with that." You could practically see the annoyance with the quality of the school through the tone he used.

     "Alright well I'm going to start to make arrangements for the two of you to be in our eldest brother Christian's custody and to also get your transcripts." Vincent says as he walks off to go to another room in the jet probably to avoid waking Lilliana.

     "Yeah good luck with that. You're gonna need it." Once Vincent is gone we all just sit around for a minute in silence when Lucas speaks up again. "Hey is it alright if I go to sleep?"

     "Yeah rest up you look exhausted I'll wake you when we're about half an hour away." I responded back. Now focusing on him he does look tired just not as bad as Lilliana did.

     "Thanks just try not to wake her up too when you do. Just like lightly shake my other arm or something." He requests as he nods to the arm that isn't wrapped around our sister.

     I nod in response and he smiles gratefully and closes his eyes to rest. As he does so I take out my phone and put on some music to wait out the rest of the flight.
