"What do you mean, dad?"

"You ever wonder why I never talk about my dad, or even my mum sometimes?"

"Should I go?" Caleb asks.

Dad looks at him, "I think you better stay and listen too." Dad sighs. "Well, my dad is somewhat...with the devil? Or is the devil?" I raise my brow and just stare at dad, gobsmacked and confused. The devil? "He's working with evil. I won't go too much into detail but...since you guys were little he's been trying to kill you and Seth. He never succeeded. He killed your grandma, his mate, right in front of you both." I gasp. How cruel!

"How-"

"Before you ask how he could do that to his mate, he's not himself. He's not the dad I knew, not the mate my mum knew. He's..well, possessed? That's a good word to describe it. When he killed your grandma, you and Seth were only five. The thing is, he was so close with you guys yet he never killed you both. He could've easily done it since you were only five. Now I'm not saying I wanted him to, I'm glad he didn't, but it baffles me as to why he didn't take the chance but instead killed your grandma."

"Why does he want them dead?" Caleb asks. I was too shocked to even form a sentence. This seems so unreal.

"I don't know. We've never known. I think there's something we don't know about you and your brother."

"Like what?" Caleb asks, again.

"I really don't know. He had also killed your mother's twin siblings. They were about your age now.. Sixteen or so? Killed them after your grandma."

I had no words. I was purely in shock.

"So, he's killing innocent people?" Caleb asks.

"Seems so. He hasn't tried anything since they were five.. I don't know what he's planning.. I haven't told Seth yet."

"I think you should. Without knowledge of this, Seth could find himself in harms way." Caleb suggests.

"I guess I'll have to tell him when I get home." Dad turns to me, "Whatever you do, you cannot mention any of this to your mother. I can't have her stressing while she's pregnant." I only nod since I didn't know what to say.

"Are you okay?" Caleb asks. I shake my head, and start to blink multiple times. Black dots clouded my vision. "I think she's in shock or something." I hear Caleb say before my vision completely gives out.

"Sweetheart?"

"Hmm?" I say, opening my eyes which landed on a worried looking Caleb.

"Are you okay?"

"I just had the weirdest dream that-" I spot dad looking worried too. "It wasn't a dream, was it?"

"No." Dad says. "I have to go now, check on your mum and tell Seth."

"Dad, will I be okay? What if he-"

"Nothing will happen to you. You're strong enough and you can fight back. You'll be fine. Plus, as much as I hate to say it, you've got Caleb." Dad kisses my forehead then whispers something to Caleb before leaving.

"What did he say?"

"Nothing. Anyway, you feeling okay? Hungry? Thirsty?"

"I'm fine. I'm just..so shocked and baffled."

"Why? I mean, I know why..but, why?" I let out a laugh and shake my head. "At least I made you laugh."

"That really didn't make any sense. But what I mean is, why does he want to kill Seth and I?"
