It's in your blood

Rifts

Nethaniel- Where's Steen?

Ella- Um she and Dash, went home at 2 ,I guess?

Nethaniel- Dash? Why is he with Steen?

Ella- Steen offered him to stay with us, as the hostels were sealed , he had nowhere to go.

Nethaniel- Huh (scoff) too kind isn't she? What about the consequences? Didn't she remember that he's a freaking human?!

Ella- She already asked uncle and aunt and they permitted.

Nethaniel- Ofcourse they would, have they ever refused her?

Ella- What's wrong brother? It will be okay, he's a really nice guy.

Nethaniel- Shut up, i don't need to know, who's a nice guy and who isn't from you.

They drove off to their home. As soon as they reached, Net quickly made his way to Steen's room and found all of them sitting happily.

Eden- Oh, Net my boy come here sit with us.

Dash- Yes, please brother.

All of them sat together.

Mary- Yes child , tell us about your family, I am pretty sure that they'll be so lucky to have such a pretty boy.

Dash- I don't have a family. I am all alone.

Steen held his hand and told the whole story.

Mary- Hey , Hey, we will be your family, don't you ever say thati you don't have a family.

Eden- (sigh) We are very well aware of the pain of loosing someone. We lost our son.

And the chit chats engulfed the night. Days passed, Dash was no longer a outsider for them, they all became a family but all was not good, there was a huge rift between Steen and Net. Steen couldn't get over her suspicions on Nethaniel. Net tried to make everything clear, to make Steen believe that it was not him but all the efforts failed and only resulted into arguments and fights. Anger was now the biggest cause of rifts between them. For both, it was such a unexpected situation, did they ever think that a human death would cost them so much? They were too weak that even a mare stroke of wind could destroy them .The flower of their love was slowly withering away.

Crying, Steen couldn't process what was happening in her life, when the door burst open revealing a fuming Ella.

Ella- WHAT THE HELL!!?? STEEN?! What have you done to my brother? What's your freaking problem?

Steen- Stop Ella. I don't need to explain it to you.

Ella- YES YOU DO!! I AM NETHANIEL'S SISTER!

Steen- Stop interfering in our matter Ella, You're too young.

Ella- YES I KNOW!

Steen- STOP SHOUTING! LOWER YOUR VOICE!

Ella- YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE SICK! MY BROTHER CRIES JUST BEACUSE OF YOU ! HE NOT THE NETHANIEL I KNEW ANYMORE, HE IS SUFFERING JUST BEACUSE OF YOU!

Steen- STOP! PLEASE STOP! you don't know anything,  so stop speaking!

Ella- YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU NEVER LOVED MY BROTHER, YOU JUST NEEDED POPULARITY, YOU JUST WANTED TO SHOW OFF! I AM WARNING YOU STEENS GIERE I MAY NOT HAVE TURNED , BUT IF I SEE YOU AROUND MY BROTHER ANYMORE THEN I-

Ella fell down with a loud thud,which made Nethaniel run and enter the room. Ella slowly moved her palm to her cheek which had few droplets of blood dripping at the floor.

Nethaniel- E- Ella? What happened?
What the hell happened Ella? I am asking you something!

Ella- S-St-Steen Sl- Slapped me.

Nethaniel looked over to see Steen standing in the corner , freezed. She couldn't believe what just happened, How can she even raise her hand on Ella. She never even raised her voice on Ella before and today she loosed it all and slapped. She felt that her life was cursed that right moment. She tried moving towards Ella, sobbing.

Steen- I-I- a-am-so-s-sorry!

Nethaniel- Stay away.

Steen- I-it was a mistake, i didn't mean it Net-

Nethaniel- STAY AWAY! IT WAS MY MISTAKE, MY MISTAKE TO LOVE YOU!

Steen- N-Net?-

Nethaniel- You're just a misfortune in my life Steen Giere, a bloody misfortune!!!
