Chapter 33

"Tris. Where are you?" Canton walked inside the room and searched for Tristian.

There was no sight of him.

"Come on. Don't you want us to celebrate your birthday?" Canton smirked to himself.

Still, no reply.

Canton frowned and went to look to the bathroom and the conjoined room he shared with him but found both empty.

"What the hell" he mumbled and sat down on the couch, taking his phone out to call him when he heard something fall to the floor.

He looked down and saw a picture of them on their small house in the woods.

He picked it up and stared at it -mostly at Tristian- with adoring eyes until he turned it around and read the words written on the back.

Canton quickly realised that Tristian was gone and he had a feeling that he was never coming back.

Nerissa and Cress walked inside this dark underground room that the Lyttletons were currently staying at, in Teal Blood.

Cecilia looked at them and her face lit up while her husband was just staring at nothing, his body still and his face unreadable.

"Cress, my love" her hopeful and happy face immediately turned into a very angry one. "Where were you, you slut?"

Arthur was unflinching.

Cress' eyes widened just a bit but she recovered very quickly. "Mother." She started approaching her, Nerissa on her trail.

"How long do you intend to keep us in here?! Look at your poor father! Look at him. " She pointed at him. "He's been like that for so long!"

Cress glanced at her father. "I can see that." She looked back at Cecilia. "He isn't reacting to anything that happens. Right? He's like a frozen statue."

"And you know who's fault is that??" She blinked and her face softened.
She smiled widely. "But how could I ever hate you, sweetheart? You are my daughter..my blood. Come here give me a hug"

Cress got closer and wrapped her arms around her mother, who started suffocating her all of a sudden.

Nerissa immediately became alert, pulled a knife out and went to help but Cress was faster.

She placed her hands around her neck and applied great pressure on it.

Cecilia started gasping for air, while Arthur was looking at them, unblinking.

"I know w-what ..you're d-doing" she removed her hands from her waist. "You a-aren't my...daughter" she struggled to say.

She grabbed at Cress' hair and yanked her hair back with so much force, she would have died if she didn't possess the power of a fae.

Nerissa sprinted towards Cecilia and was ready to stab her when Cecilia grabbed at her wrist, twisted it forcefully and turned her around, so her own knife was now against her throat.
