Looks like our mom has finally decided to let us fully embrace our curse. Somehow mom got away from the chaos.
"What do you think of them?" Mom asks. I shrug. Willow just moves closer to us. Yes we're not really touchy touchy but this is something different from normal. Now the hunters names are Merida and Ezra. Ezra is the one that's after Willow. She has long black hair that's braided. She's tall. At least for full humans. And I feel like under different circumstances we could have been friends. She's tomboyish and funny. And she's not clingy! Merida on the other hand is very clingy. Merida has blonde hair that goes to her mid back. She's about the same height as Ezra but a few inches smaller. She's athletic when she wants to be. We found that one out the hard way you could say. We tried to give them a challenge that they couldn't do because of how they normally are and one day we saw what should have been training but was mainly slacking off on her end. But we told her the challenge and stuff and she turned into the most athletic person ever! They both have grey almost silver eyes. And they typically dress like they're always on a hunt. W/ dark colored clothes and boots that can be run in and will protect you from the cold. And nearly everything they have has a hood.
"If I had to say something then I would say that if things were different like them not pinning and trapping us. Or trying to kill our family and the whole threatening thing when we first met. Then I would probably hang out w/ them." I answer. Willow nods in agreement.
"Do you guys find them a little attractive?" Mom asks. I look at her funny and Willow turns red then hides her face.
"Well I find them a little. Mainly Ezra." Willow answers hiding more into my side.
"The only thing I find attractive is what ever Kate made that day and put in front of me." I answer. We all laugh.
"Yeah sounds like the answers I would say." Mom said. We look at her.
"You know when I was kidnapped the second time. You know when I was just chained all day. I would watch Hades. See what she did and figure out why she did it. I analyzed nearly everything I could. And shoot if she went undercover and met me and we hung out a bit then yeah I could have been her friend. If she wanted to fight and I won and she waited a bit then asked me out or something I might have said yes." Mom states.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yep. And if the other joined later on and I made a strong connection w/ them then chances are I would have been w/ them too." She adds.
"What kinda stopped any of that from happening?" Willow asks.
"Well yes she attacked us in dragon form but if she introduced herself as human before she first kidnapped me and we got along and stuff then I would have been confused. I wouldn't really know what to do. But if she let have time and space to collect myself and stuff then I would have probably been w/ her. So I guess the fact that it felt like I would have no control iver myself. Like I would be imprisoned." She answers.
"I kinda have that feeling too." I say.
"About Merida?" She asks I nod. "Then she may not be the one." Mom says.
"Then how did you end up w/ mama and mother? Wouldn't what those 3 did make you more cautious?" I ask.
"It did. But what they did was they gave me time. They made me feel like I would have freedom. Like I got a choice. Now you know how I got abused and stuff?" She asks we nod. "Well that's the main reason why if it felt like I had not choice or I was powerless then I would avoid it. And that's why when the party came along and gave me the freedom to make my own decisions and showed me love and affection that I ended up seeing them as my real family." She says.
"What did it feel like exactly?" Willow asks.
"Which one?" Mom returned.
"Both." I say.
"Well the best I can do to describe it would be suffocating. Like something prevented me from breathing in but sucked all the air air out of me. Then when I got the freedom it feel as if I walked out of a really hot and stuffy cabin and into a crisp and fresh spring morning." She answers.
"Would we have the same feeling?" I ask.
"I don't know. But I do know that even if you're not aware of it your bodies will make it obvious to you if you need to get out of the situation or not. So I'll pass the torch of obsessed psycho creatures chasing after you for some reason onto you 2. Now the torch could die down pretty fast if the right one or ones came first. But just know the flame will never truly die or go out. Mainly because it seems like this is hereditary." Mom says and we laugh.
"Well sis. Ready to take the black flame?"
