"Cant, I'm scared" Elle whispered.

"I know, love" Canton said and caressed her head comfortingly.

"I'm also scared! " Res exclaimed.

Canton exhaled and run a frustrated hand through his hair. "Hey, come here. Both of you" He opened his arms and waited for the kids to crawl inside them.

When they did, Canton wrapped his arms around his siblings tightly.
"I'll do everything in my power to protect you, okay?"

"they're gonna kill you too" Elle cried.

Canton pressed his lips into a thin line and stayed silent. He wanted nothing more than to comfort those two little innocent kids he loved so and assure them that everything was going to be fine but unfortunately, Inks don't have the ability to lie.

"What happens when you die? Do you get born again? Mom used to say your actions from this life define your next. Is this true?" Res' little voice echoed throughout the room.

"I don't know, kiddo" worry was evident on Canton's tone.

"that means we are gonna turn into something bad" Elle mumbled.

Canton frowned "Why bad?"

"Because we aren't good people in this life"

"What are you talking about? You are the greatest and sweetest siblings I could ever ask for".

"But we are getting punished. That means we are naughty".

"You are getting punished because dad is a sadistic fuck".
Canton clenched his jaw, his face darkening.

"Cant?" Res asked after a little while.

"Yes, love?"

"What does 'fuck' mean?" he questioned innocently.

Canton's eyes widened in horror. "If you love me as much as you claim you do, you will never tell him I called him that".

"Kay but what does it mean though?" Res frowned.

"We usually use this word when something...bad happens?".

"There you are, cute creatures. And Canton" Elvina grinned and closed the door behind her.

"Elvina!" Both kids yelled out and run into Elvina's arms.

Canton rolled his eyes, his face turning into it's usual coldness when the kids weren't looking.

"Oh wow, thank you guys I can feel the love". Canton said ironically.

Elle pulled away from Elvina and turned to look at Canton.

Canton immediately gave her a warm smile, indicating that he was just joking.

Elle started running towards Canton again when she tripped and stumbled a bit forwards. "Fuck!"

Canton's and Elvina's eyes widened.

Elvina was the one that spoke first "Gabrielle Alastair! Who taught you this inappropriate word?"

Elle smirked and pointed at Canton "Big bro".

Canton's eyes widened more at that. "You little snich!"

Elle and Res laughed outloud.

"Canton, what have I told you about teaching kids bad words?" Elvina said and crossed her arms against her chest.
