The Siphons obsession

16

Nora told me how Valarie betrayed them. I sigh and look around the room.

"C-" I stop myself before I can even fully start.

"What dear?" Lily asks and I shake my head." Tell me." Lily says softly.

"I want to talk to her. She was my mentor in magic, she will trust me, besides the lengths she went to, to try and keep Julian dead do you think she doesn't have a plan B?" I ask them, they look around at each other for a long time.

"Look, everyone I've cared about has died or hurt me. I'm just trying to keep this family alive, we already lost Malcolm and Oscar, I don't want to lose anyone else, do you?" I ask.

"Fine  just-" Lilly comes over to me with a sigh and cups my face." Just be careful." She tells me and I nod.

"Will you be alright on your own?" Mary asks and I smile at her.

"Mary Lou, ever so protective." I tell her and she smiles shyly." I'll be fine thank you, if Valarie has been good for anything it was teaching me magic." I tell her and she nods.

"How about we practice?" Nora asks and I frown." No one knows where Valarie is, do a locator spell." Nora says, I sigh and roll my eyes.

Beau stands up and pats my back, he comes back with a map. I kiss his cheek as he sets it on a table.

"Thank you, love." I tell him and I cut my hand on the map.

"Don't you need something of hers?" Mary asks.

"I'm a Bennett, I'm stronger than I look." I say with a smirk. I chant the locator spell. My body shakes and with a gasp, my eyes roll back I see what she sees and flashes of her location and who she's with. I gasp as I'm pulled out of it and look down to see that there's a blood trail on the map.

"Where did you go?" Lilly asks worried and I smirk.

"I went to Valarie, I know exactly where she is and who she's with. I'll see you all later." I say and strut out of the house.

I barge into Ric's house.

Ric stands and I see Jo.

"I'm here to talk to Valarie then I'll leave." I say walking past him.

"Valarie naughty girl." I say then speed to her and pull her into a hug." I don't know what Julian did to you, but I miss you around the house." She hugs me back.

"Zoe." I look over Valarie's shoulder to see Caroline.

"Caroline" I speak back.

"Getting back on track, Thank you, Valarie, your tract is wildly appreciated. " Caroline says and I can guess they are talking about Jo who looks like she is about to die again.

"I'm just saying that she was a corpse who was meant to stay a corpse." Valarie says and I sigh.

"You didn't say that did you?" I ask her and she shrugs." Val, that's his dead wife, who died with two kids inside her on their wedding day." I tell her knowing she wasn't trying to be mean.

"Sorry, I had no idea." She tells us.

"Yeah, well now you do. So just sit down, quietly, while he says goodbye." Caroline tells her.

Me and Valarie both go to another room. We find the wedding video and Val puts it on.

"Somethings wrong with me." I tell her and she frowns.

"What do you mean?" She asks, and I sigh.

" I was practicing a big spell and I was siphoning myself but it was weird, like there was a spell on me." I tell her and she looks at me confused. But her head snaps to the video when she hears what they are chanting.

"Valarie turn it off." Caroline comes in.

"Quiet." I tell Caroline sternly." What is it Val?"

"I recognize this chant." She tells me." That Gemini kid, Kai, thought they were sending him to a prison world." She says and I tense.

"Who cares turn it off." Carline goes to turn it off but I snarl and push her away.

"You and Bonnie think you're so high and mighty." I growl she looks at me with wide eyes. I turn to Val." What were they doing?"

"They weren't sending him away they were trying to save the next generation of Gemini twins." She turns to Ric." I think your babies are still alive." She says leaving me in shock.

I bring Jo's body down to Ric's car as they do a locator spell on the twins.

"I put her body in your trunk." I spoke and sighed." really you guys made a mess." I get a rag and put it in the blood but yelp as it lights on fire when I touch it.

The fire goes out and I hold my healing hand to my chest.

"Hey, what the hell happened!" Ric yells as Caroline comes over to me.

"Are you okay?" She asks checking on me I nod frightened.

Valarie stares at me." Not possible."

"What's not possible?" Ric asks upset.

"The babies, they're here, they're inside Zoe." She says and I flinch as everyone in the room freezes.

I glance around at everyone then speed out and back home as tears blur my vision, on the way home I think of Kai. I slam the door behind me when I reach the safety of my home.

"Zoe we've been waiting for you." I hear Lily and the whole family walk's in but Mary speeds over when she sees me crying.

"What's wrong? What did she do?!" She asks angrily.

The house shakes as my magic runs off my emotions. Lily looks at me and the house worried.

"No!" I scream and all the glass in the house shatters and everyone else flinches to cover their heads.

"Tell us what can we do to help you?" Nora says gently, I fall to my knees sobbing.

"I want Malcolm!" I sob out holding my chest. Nora and Mary sit beside me and pull me into a hug trying to calm me down Beau kneels and joins it holding me.

"I didn't think I knew what love was, but I know now, that I loved Kai Parker and he's dead, I didn't get to tell him that. I should have told him." I sob and Nora sighs.

"Oh, hunny, he knew." She says and I look up to her." Trust me, he knew. You know with the way they kiss you, the way they look at you, and the way they hold you." Nora says smoothing the hair out of my face.

"Sometimes you don't even have to say it." Mary tells me.

"I miss him." I tell them and they help me up to my feet.

Julian comes over and pulls me into a hug. Shocked I slowly hug back." It's going to be okay my dear, your family is here to help you." He tells me running his fingers through my hair." It's okay if you need to cry, holding all of that emotion in is no good." He says and I do exactly that. I cry, and my family stays by my side.
