Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 41 - Zehra

Louie's head snapped up towards Dewey. His eyes round with fear and before either Athena or I could stop him.

Dewey lunged over the table at Louie, wrapping his hands around his neck as they both fell to the floor. Breakfast dishes dropped along with them shattering into a million pieces. Eve started to cry in her high chair, and Athena was looking at the both of them in confusion.

"DEWEY! STOP YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!" Athena shouted suddenly, as she made her way to get between the both of them.

"ATHENA! DON'T!" I shout back, and tried to gently pull her away from the fight as they rolled around on the broken glass, Dewey punching Louie in the face repeatedly enough to where there was blood flowing from his noise.

"What's going on?" Athena asked as she whirled around to me. I quickly picked up Eve from and rushed Athena out of the room before things got really bad.

I could have used my power to stop the boys... But... I'm in total shock myself.

What the FUCK?

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Athena snarled, yanking her arm away.

"I'm sorry." I say, as I tried calming Eve down by bouncing her on my hip.

She was red in the face, and her eyes glisten with tears as she screamed out, "Daddy! DADDY!" 

"Sissy." I say, making Athena freeze at the nickname I hadn't used for her in years. Not since Mom is now gone from our lives. She slowly starts to back away, towards the back door, slowly shaking her head.  "I hate to tell you this.. But its rather me then- Then someone else..."

My voice trailed off and it took all my will power not to vomit right then and there as I tried to form out the words that I had only just learned myself. But, I closed my eyes, took a big shaky breath, and said in barely above a whisper,

"I -I thought it was Dewey. I - I swear Athena. But - It wasn't Dewey who slept with me last night." I began.

Athena backed up to the backdoor and without looking found the handle on the doorknob. She kept staring at me like I was the wolf and she was the prey.

But I wasn't!

I was just as much a victim as she was!

"It was Louie." I finished.

ATHENA POV

I swallowed hard.

No.

Not Louie.

How can that happen?

Why when I was just about to think my life was almost as good as it can get -.

This happens?

Why was the universe so against me to be happy?

Was it because us demons weren't even suppose to be living among the mortals?

Mom had to pay the price for living here. That was for her to marry my Uncle and - and make a deal with our Queen to have Eve submit to the newest Queen which is now suppose to be Emma. Turns out, I'm the true heir to the demon realm.

Did Mom just decide to run away from that realm because she knew she couldn't take whatever was expected of her? Is that why she went into hiding? Fell in love with a mortal who then became my father, and as punishment for having a half-demon child Mom was murdered? But not before making a deal with the Queen that if she could spare my life, she can have then next of kin which was in fact - Eve?
