-Catherine’s pov-
“SHE DID WHAT!?” I screamed in rage.
“Calm down, Chérie!” Marie tried to calm me down but. It. Wasn’t. Working!
“Like I said, she told the boys that Kalis was their father then left to visit her family in the Philippines.” Said Ingrid calmly.
“That crazy little--” Then I was interrupted by Skyler.
“Mom! Calm down it’s fine! Really we won’t go looking for him or anything like that.” Said Skyler patting my back.
“I know! But it’s not like that! It’s just-- Gah!” I throw myself on my bed covering my eyes.
“Is that why they looked at me like that?” Asked Melodious who was on the other side of my bed.
“No, sweetie, the way they looked at you was… For a different reason…” I said hesitantly.
“Look, Dio, Sky, why don’t you guys hang out with Ingrid and Marie?” I asked holding tears of frustration in my eyes.
Why did she have to do that?
“Oui! I would love to go out with you two!” Said Marie excitedly. The boys looked hesitant at first but agreed anyway.
They said goodbye and kissed me on the cheek. I closed the door and slump down. Then I just start crying. It was all I wanted to do right now. Just cry.
-Marie’s pov-
After we left I asked the kids where they wanted to go they said they wanted to go to the cafe to get snacks then the playground.
Me and Ingrid got coffee and the kids got sandos. Then we headed to the playground not saying a word.
“Dio, what are you thinking about?” I saw that the boys were finally talking.
“That man… And who’s Cannon?” Ingrid looked at me. I looked at her with a look that said ‘Should we tell them?’
Ingrid shook her head. Then she looked at me with a look that said ‘Let me’
“Aunt Ingrid?” Skyler looked at Ingrid curious. “Cannon De Lorre is a friend of your mother’s. Kalis Evestone killed her.” Said Ingrid bluntly.
I looked at her shocked then face-palmed myself. “Imbécile you could have been less blunt!” I screamed panicked.
“Hm… No wonder those kids looked at me like that. How many?” Asked Melodious. I look at him confused.
“More than I can count.” Answered Ingrid. I look at them both in disbelief then sigh.
“The both of you are hopeless. How are you holding up, Sky?” I look to Skyler worriedly tilting my head.
“Fine. It isn’t that hard to understand, not much to misunderstand in the first place.” I sigh.
“Hah, What has Catherine been teaching you two?” I said rubbing my temples.
“They’re smart.” Said Ingrid sitting on the swings. “Marie? Could you tell us more about our father?” Asked Skyler sitting next to Ingrid.
“Hm, there is not much to be said. He is like a demon, he is psycho, and feared.” Melodious stopped suddenly.
“Really? How interesting.” Melodious came closer to me. His intent was unclear. Which in turn scared me.
It was cold. I stared into Melodious’s eyes. They were foggy. ‘What is he doing?’ I panicked slightly.
