Blood and Wine (Book 1)

Chapter 3

A few days had passed by since the visit from Dumbledore and his fellow Teachers, (Y/N)'s mind had been blown when he found out that things such as Magic, Dragons, Witches and Wizards were in fact real!

Alcina didn't like that her Son would be going to a School so far across the world, but... her conversation with the Professors, and also the words of Mother Miranda, who she respected greatly, helped her to understand that his power could be quite dangerous if untrained.

(Y/N) knew that he needed this training, and he was also worried about accidentally hurting his Mother or his Sisters with these untrained abilities, or destroying the Castle in a fit of frustration, but now it was time to explain what would be happening to his Sisters...

Now, the Dimitrescu family were gathered in the Main Hall, with Lady Dimitrescu sitting down with an unhappy frown on her face, she had her favourite blood-red wine glass in her hand, half-full of her favourite Wine, while Bela, Daniela and Cassandra were sat down in chairs quietly, waiting to see what they were called down for.

"Mother? Big Brother? Why have you called for us?" Bela asked her Mother and older Brother curiously, Daniela was also wondering what they needed, while Cassandra seemed impatient to return to whatever she was planning to do before being called.

"Girl's I have something to tell you... your Brother is going away, and he won't be back for some time" Alcina said as she got ready for the girls to react to this new information, which came very quickly.

"B-But... big brother, why do you have to leave us?" Daniela asked her older brother, looking upset, Cassandra and Bela also looked confused and distraught at what they had just been told.

"Because, Daughters, (Y/N) has recently come into certain abilities that require special training in order to control" Alcina said to the three girls, still frowning as she saw how upset the girls were getting.

"But Mother! Surely he can be taught here? Can't Mother Miranda help him?" Bela asked, as she looked between her Mother and her older Brother.

"Unfortunately not, dear Sisters, this power is dangerous, and I need special training in order to control it, Mother Miranda and our Mother both approved of me going" (Y/N) replied to Bela, giving her a sad smile.

"And as you know, Daughters, Mother Miranda's word is law... despite my own reservations on the matter..." Lady Dimitrescu said as she took a drink of her Wine, with the frown still on her lips.

"What makes it so dangerous, Big Brother?" Bela asked as she looked to her Brother for answers, since it was his abilities, he would have to know the reason why.

"This power, it's linked to my emotions, if something were to happen like I get angry, or scared, it could lash out and harm one of you, or potentially destroy some of our Home" (Y/N) replied to the girls, giving them a serious look to show he wasn't playing with them.

"But you've never been angry, Big Brother, at least... we've never seen you get angry" Cassandra said as she stood from her seat, upset at the idea of her favourite hunting partner being gone almost all year long.

"No, I've been angry sometimes" (Y/N) said, as he thought about all the time he was kept in the Castle, because his Mother didn't want him to leave her sight, she'd never fully liked the idea of him being outside, after the incident years ago when he was much younger and... Mortal.

It also didn't help when (Y/N) would sneak out sometimes to see what was around the Castle, or at a certain... someone's insistence, for some outdoor activities, (Y/N) had also bene training to fight if needed, and this training could help him to show his Mother that he isn't helpless, and can look after himself.
