Furies

Chapter six

Amara's POV

"I'm sorry, I know I saw it it myself but, I just can't believe it, I mean, she took care of us when our mother died, but to think she was the cause of that" Fiona said with a weak smile on her face.

She sat on the couch in the living room, while Talia sat on the chair arm and I stood at the fire place gazing into the fire.

Everyone left us alone a few minutes ago so that we could talk for ourselves.

"To tell you the truth, I've always suspected her, I mean, I didn't know she killed our mom, It was just suspicions of how her story of what happened always stayed the same, like it was rehearsed" Talia spoke, but being the fun one out of the three of us she said with a jokey voice, "'I'll tell you what's funny though, we won't be the three musketeers anymore now that we have two brothers"

But nobody laughed, not even her, because what we had found out in the span on just a few hours was definitely not funny.

Silence overcame us as we stared aimlessly around the room, just then Anna bounced into the room with a determined look on her face, "Come on, you three have to change your clothes" she said nudging her head towards the staircase

"We not ready for bed yet" I replied

"Not for bed, Zander said to have you dressed and ready in an hour"

"Why?" Talia asked suspiciously

"He didn't tell me, he just said to dress formally" she shrugged and made her way upstairs with my sisters and I following

"But we don't have formal clothes" Fiona said

"We went shopping the other day and got a ton of clothes for Amara, I'm sure you three are the same size" Anna smiled

I currently sat at the circular table directly across from Chris, while Zander was to my right and Talia to my left. We had arrived at the restaurant just moments ago and had already ordered our dinner.

It was fairly awkward between Jason, Chris, my sister's and I which caused an air of tension around all of us that Anna and Zander constantly tried to break, but to no avail for the time we've been here.

"So, what's it like where you guys live" Anna attempted, directing the question towards my sisters and I.

"Beautiful" I answered

"Magical" Talia said after

"And as we learnt recently, dangerous" Fiona responded looking directly at the table in front of her with no emotion visible on her face and instantly the awkwardness grew, seconds later she let ou a sigh and turned to look at Chris and Jason, "how old are you two?"

They stared at her emotionless face for a few seconds before Jason answered, "I'm 22, Chris is 21"

"That make you 6 years old and your brother 5, what was mother like?" Fiona asked

"What?" Chris question

"You would have been 5 and Jason 6 when mother died, old enough to remember her, what was she like?"

"...she..was...as any mother should be, overprotective, loving, fun, but she was a terrible cook" Chris said letting out a light laugh

"There was this one time, we were sitting  by the lagoon and mother made this weird dark green soup, of course Chris and i tried our best and choked down half of it, but you three....., Fiona dumped it in a hibiscus plant, Talia dropped the whole bowl into the water and Amara used her spoon to throw the soup all over the place, including mother's face" Jason said and laughed full out with Chris, soo enough we all joined and as the laughing died down our waiter came back with our food and placed our orders on the table in front of us before leaving.

"So, you are the leader of you pack?" Talia asked directing the question to Zander

Swallowing the food he had in his mouth, Zander answered, "I am the Alpha , yes"

"So is that like the king?" Fiona asked

"Something like that I guess"

"So you're strong?" Fiona

"Very"

"Tactical?" Talia

"Yes"

"One more question, you're up against your enemy, do you use a dagger or a gun?" Fiona asked seriously

"I'd rather use my fists" Zander responded

Turning to me, Fiona and Talia said in union, "I like him" and began eating

"that says a lot, they don't like anyone" I said to Zander, which resulted in him letting out a laugh and pecking me on the cheek.

"So, how about we catch up, what were you guys like growing up" Jason asked

"Like any other fury,.... Although we are known differently" Talia answered

"What do you mean?" Chris asked her

"Fiona over here is known as the warrior sister, although all furies are warriors, she is the best hands down" Talia complimented Fiona, nudging her with her shoulder.

 "I am known as the fun sister but that was obvious though, I mean have you noticed how depressing these two are?" she said looking at both me and Fiona who gave her a dirty look

"And Amara is known as the sister you don't want to mess with, the evil one" she said which caused me to erupt in laughter at the way she said evil

"Why don't you want to mess with her?" Anna asked

"Our family bloodline is sacred, resulting in us having powers, different from that of the furies, common powers with the furies are telethepy, telekinesis and teleportation, I have the power of word, meaning if I tell someone to do something, they will have no choice but to do as I say, Fiona has the power undeniable strength, she could lift a building if she wanted to, and Amara has the power to kill, I know what you thinking, everyone can kill, so I'll rephrase it, Amara has the power of death, she can literally just touch you and drain you life force, all furies feed and receive energy by eating or anything normal, Amara can do that to, but using her power is much faster if you ask me" Talia finished

"Wait, so that's what you did to that man in the cell when you just got here?" Anna asked astonished

"You used your powers outside of the island without permission?" Fiona asked

"First of all, I didn't know where I was, and second, that dude got on my last nerve" I stated

"Of course, because it's that hard to get on your nerves" Talia said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"That's true" Chris said, probably remembering my hold on his neck earlier this evening as he rose his hand rubbing it, we all laughed

Just as I placed a fork of chicken into my mouth Talia spoke "Okay, down to business" she turned to Zander and I, "When am I going to be an aunt"

I choked as Zander desperately patted my back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I know what you did tonight" I stated as I laid down looking at Zander who stood at the foot of the bed

"what did I do" he asked

"You brough us out tonight so that we could forget about all the bad things we found out today"

"Did it work?" he asked

"Most definitely"

"Then my job is done"

We spent that night laughing , cuddling and not worrying about the dangers that were learking around in the shadows that would soon come to destroy our happy life.
