She May be Evil

Chapter 43 King

"Where's mommy?" Seri says as she sips the rest of her apple juice.

I had them eat at the small table in her room because i know how messy they are. Both of their bowls are empty and so is mine. Circe's bowl is definitely cold by now.

"I don't know sweetheart."

She's been gone a long time. Is she alright?

She must be really mad about the hickeys, my shoulder is still sore from that punch. Is she not gonna come back?

"Daddy why are you pouting." Syrian says, swinging his feet on the chair.

"I am not pouting."

"Are too." Seri says before jumping off the chair and looking at the floor.

"Why are there clothes on the floor?" Seri asks.

I feel my face heat up as I recall earlier events and i snatch all the clothes up and throw them in the closet.

"Isn't it past your bedtime? Where's your room?" I say while putting all the dishes on the tray.

"Im not tired." She crosses her arms.

"Well i am." No I'm not, i just woke up not too long ago.

"So go to sleep." She pats the bed before trying to hop on it and failing.

I snatch her off the bed and grab Syrians hand to help him off the chair before walking out the door.

"Wheres your room."

"Not telling." She crosses her arms.

I roll my eyes. "Do you not want to change into more comfortable clothes?"

She thinks about it. "Yes but i don't want to go to bed in there."

"Thats fine." I try hard not to roll my eyes at a child.

She reluctantly points to a door two doors down.

"Thank you." I walk to the door and open it. The walls are light but black lace decorates the wall. There's a big bed is across from the door, and to the left of the bed there's a carpet littered with black toys. To the right of that is a child vanity with a dresser right next to it.

Syrian walks into the room and stands on his tippy toes to grab something off the dresser before walking back to give it to me. I furrow my eyebrows as I crouch down and grab it.

My eyes widen. Its a picture frame with a little girl with red eyes smiling at the camera in a very similar dress Seri is wearing.

"That looks like mommy." Syrian says while we all look at the picture.

"I think it is mommy." I glance around the bedroom in a different light. "I think this was her bedroom as a child." It makes sense. Black really has always been her color. I look at the children. "And i think Seri has been wearing Circe's childhood clothes." Thats why they look outdated. I don't know where Syrians clothes came from though.

I look back at the picture and feel my mouth twitch. She was an adorable child, her round face reminds me of Seri as she smiles as if she isn't worried about a thing.
