CHAPTER TEN "Nothing is as it seems"
ENCHANTED FOREST PAST
Lily sat at the small table in the cabin where she had lived for the last few decades. Her children. The oldest was, Lorelai, the there was Evander, and then her youngest child, Adrienne. They were the ones that mattered most to her in the world. She had killed and tortured people, and even burned villages to the ground. And she would do it all again for her children without hesitation.
The door to the cabin opened and Lily heard footsteps walking into the building. She turned around and to both her surprise and disappointment, only Evander was there. "Where are your sisters?" She asked.
"They've already left. They weren't at their cabins when I went to check on them earlier." Evander replied.
"Oh." Lily said quietly, disappointment obvious in both her voice and on her face.
"It's better that they left now." Evander said. "You wouldn't want Elijah getting a hold of them."
"They could've stayed. I would've protected them, just like always." Lily said, as she stood up. "Elijah does not scare me."
"He's a powerful man, Mother." Evander said. "A powerful man that has been hell bent on destroying our family, ever since you killed his wife."
"We." Lily jumped in, quickly correcting her son. "We killed his wife. We all played our part in her demise."
"Yes, but it was you who caused her heart to stop beating." Evander pointed out. "You took what he loved most, and that's what he wants to take what you love most."
"You and your sisters." Lily said, barely above a whispers; and Evander nodded his head in confirmation.
"Elijah and his men will be here soon." Evander informed her. "I think it's best that I leave now too."
"I can't say I'm surprised you want to leave too." Lily sighed. "At least you came to say goodbye to me first."
"Mother..."
Lily walked over to her son and put her hands on his shoulders. "We'll all be reunited one day. I don't know when but it will happen." She smiled at her son. "Promise me you'll look after yourself."
"I will." Evander returned his mother's smile and hugged her before he left, bow and full arrow quill in hand.
Now, for the first time since Lily gave birth to Lorelai in January of eighteen thirty two, she was alone. She had promised her son that they would all be together again one day, but she wasn't sure if that was a promise she'd be able to keep.
