The Twins

Chapter Twenty Four: Finding Lewis

We are creeping in on his location when someone attacks us from behind. Throwing me and Aiden 5 feet away and shoving a hand through Shylo's chest, when she screams out in agony, he spews "oh hush now child. I've done this before and you didn't cry as much then." Shylo's cries come to a quiet before she whispers the words that leave me motionless. "Daddy?" I know at this moment the man standing before us all is Lewis. I gasp for air as I've never seen him before taking in his appearance, I notice something is off about him, he seems vial. I was told his humanity was on, but it doesn't seem that way. This is a tad concerning. I leap toward him screaming "Ictus." flinging him far from my girlfriend, we've only just agreed what the three of us are, I'm not ready to lose either of them yet. "Stay away from my girlfriend you musty old man. I don't care if you're her father or not." he snarls at this. "Shylo dear, you never told me you were seeing someone. Should I be concerned? She's not going to live as long as you, she's a mere witch dear." he runs towards her again, "'you've got one thing wrong." I whisper as I speed towards him at lightning fast speeds. Shoving him with every ounce of strength in my body. "I'm not going anywhere." he gasps and looks more shocked than anything. "Impossible witches, can't keep their magic and transition." he says as if hiding the fact he's a heretic himself. "Yea well us heretics are different, now aren't we?" I ask, shoving all the impoliteness from my mouth. At this he runs at me siphoning himself. "You aren't a heretic, I'M THE ONLY ONE." he screams at me. I siphon myself to prove him very much wrong. He stops dead in his tracks coming right at me and I ignore the fact that he's gone still. "Impossible, how did you come to be?" he asks as if it isn't obvious. "I was born this way. Be smart i was turned.'' I say trying not to be sarcastic and failing. I..Impossible i thought i thought I was the only one..." he trails off. He seems shaken up by the news that he wasn't alone. He takes a seat on the stump of a tree once cut down, more than likely long older than me. "Look. no one is here to hurt you. I just want to know how it happens." at the realization of what i want he scoffs, more of a putrid sound if you ask me. But oh well right? "How does it happen? HOW DOES IT HAPPEN? You know nothing of what you are, and what you're capable of do you?" He seems mad at this point. Not sure nor do I care to try and understand. "No, I guess I don't. Care to teach me?" I ask, which in hind sight was stupid but "what's in it for me?" he responds. "If you're willing to help her....I'll call off the pack of werewolves that we both know has been watching you for quite some time." Aiden speaks up from behind me. It seems he's in deep thought at this offer Aiden has thrown before him. "I'll take it." this whole time I've been arguing with Lewis, Shylo has been rather quiet, which is really unusual for her. I grab her hand, squeezing it tight to let her know I'm with her. "Why should they trust you father?" she says from beside me. "You were never a father. If I can't trust you, Why should they?" gaping he looks at her "You know nothing of this world Shylo. If only you had stayed around, you would. Things work differently for the supernatural. You still have much to learn." he glances down when she starts crying. I can't bear this. It hurts to see her this way. Pulling her into a hug I hold her to me as tight as I can. "You teach me and nothing more. You don't talk to Shylo, you don't talk to the pack, and you don't talk to my sister. Understood?" I make a point to make sure he can't hurt Shylo again. Whispering in her ear I say "I'm not gonna watch you get hurt again." know damn well he can hear me. I look up only to catch him watching me and smiling. "I understand. Will I be staying with the pack while this is all under way?" he asks curiously. I'm not sure of the answer myself so I turn to Aiden. "You'll have your own tent. No need to bother my wolves with the likes of you." he states like this changes nothing. Grabbing my bag off the ground from where I discarded it a while back, I turned to head back, I stopped waiting for the others to follow. "You coming, Lewis?" I asked him. When they all start moving to follow me I take off running.
