SHIFT 2 - Purgatory

Tales of woe

"Collin?" Nagisa crawled over to him.

"What was she like?" he whispered, tears dripping onto his folded hands.

Nagisa lifted his head as Coldar came to sit with them. Together the werewolf and half vampire dried his face.

"Beautiful." Nagisa smiled. He told his cousin everything he saw.

Collin collapsed into Nagisa's arms. His shoulder shook with the silent crying. Coldar rubbed his back as he looked worridly at the small half vampire. Nagisa just shook his head as he held his cousin. The others quietly left the room, leaving Collin to his boyfriend and cousin.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I lost it." Collin mutter sitting up.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because you didn't know her?" Nagisa lightly punched him in the chest

"Maybe." Collin smiled a little sadly.

"Aunt Krystal often spoke to me of her. She would tell me stories and dad told me about their relarionship." Collin shrugged.

"They kept her alive for me, I quess." He muttered.

Nagisa frowned. "Has anyone told you about her death?" He asked.

"You know about it. A vampire drained her and I was born in her coffin!" he snarled.

"Right, but why did a vampire target her?" he asked.

Collin and Coldar both looked at him in stunned silence. Coldar shook his head, trying to get Nagisa not to continue down this road of thought. Collin saw the motion, he lightly pressed into Coldar's chest. His eyes remained on his cousin.

"What are you thinking?" he asked slowly.

Nagisa got up to walk around the small room. "The twins were already born. Mom had to chose, leave them with dad to keep her human life or..." He tapped his chin watching the floor pass under his feet.

"... leave her human life to stay with the twins." He glanced up at them.

"We know she chose her children or I wouldn't be here." He added.

"Do you think some vampire found out?" Collin jumped to his feet to stop Nagisa's trek.

"Actually targeted my mom because of Aunt Krystal?" he half shouted.

"Maybe? I don't know." Nagisa shook his head. There was a light tap on the door.

Both cousins turned to look at it. Slowly it swung open. Krystal stood before Isaac. They peered inside at the two boys. Coldar got to his feet. He pulled the door wider open.

"I think this is a family decision." He moved to leave.

"You can stay, if Collin wants you to." Krystal offered.

"Up to you. I don't mind if you hear." He said.

Coldar looked indecisive. He glanced between the boys and the witches. Finally, he turned to sit with his back to the head board. He opened his arms. Collin sat between his legs, leaning into his chest. Nagisa curled up at the end of the bed as Krystal took a seat. Issac stood behind her.

"We never told you where your mom died." Krystal began rubbing her hands together.

"Fuck! ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Nagisa cried, his fangs dropping down in his anger.

"Nagisa." Krytal spoke softly.

Cami and Carter rushed into the room. They eyed the meeting taking place. Collin looked up at them. He simply nodded. Cami went to her little brother to hold him back as Carter took a seat before him.
