For Love and Peace

Go Home?

Amity thought that she was dreaming as they were petting puddles and laughing. It was the best time she actually had in quite a long time, maybe in all her life. The calmness she was experiencing was overwhelming. All of her life was following orders, do this or do that and so on, never having an opinion or a choice.

Amity was forced to pay attention when she saw her father was walking towards them, instantly all of her body tensed and her posture became rigid. Luz noticed that and looked in the same direction Amity was looking, wanting to know what had made Amity become like that. She saw a man in a purple suit, brown hair, he was shorter than Luz maybe. Alador reached the group, the twins were gazing at him with a serious look they were determined to protect her sister from the possible harm, Viney and Jerbo were next to puddles with Amity and Luz in the back of the group, neither of them expected what could Alador wanted with them. Alador looked at the twins "could I have a moment with you, Emira and Edrick" he said in a caring and light tone. All of them except Luz were shocked by this, the twins regained their senses and nodded, "we can talk in privat, follow me" Emira said, all eyes looking at her as if she had grown another head, Alador nodded as acceptance.

Emira and Edrick parted ways with the group but not before they had told them that they are going to be back in a moment. Alador follow them in silence. They stopped near the south exit, to the right was a little coffee shop with an outside table. They sat there, the twins were facing her father with a serious and deadly stare. Alador was calm, this wasn't the most difficult thing he had done but it was stresing. He decided to start the conversation "I want to apologise for my way of treating you and your sister, all my life I had been wrong about how to be a good father and my love for your mother was blinding my eyes from the truth. I'm not asking for your forgiveness but to inform you that Odalia and I will divorse". Emira and Edrick were shocked to say the least, here was their father, the person who never lied because he mostly never talked or was at home, telling them not only was he wrong and searching for forgiveness but also telling them that he was divorcing her mother. Edrick was the first to come back from their dazed state and asked in all serious "and how does this affect us and Amity?, we are going to inherit the Blight surname either way and Amity isn't in the household now so I reiterate, how does this affect us and Amity?".

Alados sighted, his face showed all the stress he had and answered "It won't affect Amity, more than it already had, the same for you. Mostly will be directed to me and you and Emira will not be affected at all. You are known more because of yourself than by your surname so don't worry about that, but the real reason I wanted to talk to you, it's because I will be leaving the mansion for good as soon as I return. I want you to know that I will live in my old house and you can go there if you need, also Amiry if she wants. it would be my pleasure to have you there if you decide to visit". Alador leaned back into the chair, all the air of dignity disappeared from him and searched for a waiter or waitress. The twins were baffled, the way their father always acted was refined and very formal but the person in front of them was none of it as if it were another person, Emira rapidly understood that the real version of her father was not the one she had seen in the mansion. Edrick nodded understanding what his father had said, and said "good to know and we will tell Amity". Edrick got up from his chair and went to where Jerbo was, he was highly confused of what had happened and he needed the help of his loved one.

Emira waited for the waiter or waitress to be near. When a waiter came she asked for a cup of coffee with some milk and his father asked an americano. Emira wanted to know more about what had happened between her parents, so she stayed and asked her father about it, so that's what she did.

Amity was panicking inside, nothing good had ever happened when father needed to talk, she was fearing for her sister and brother that she didn't even realise that Luz had been calling her. Luz was trying to get Amity's atencion so she decided to do the only thing that had crossed her mind and kissed her cheeks but it had a different effect of what she had thought. As Amity felt Luz's lips on her cheeks, her brain melted, all reason abandoned her mind. Amity stood there, frigid like an ice cube, all of her face was redden for the fact that a cute girl kissed her cheek.
