The Forgotten Storyteller

Chapter 3: Daddy! I'm home!

Hunter's POV
"What's your last name?" I ask. Just then, dad walks in. His jaw drops. He quickly closed it.
"Who's your friend?" He asks, obviously not caring. "Lily, Lily..." I say, waiting for Lily to finish for me. "Rose. Lily Rose." She says quickly, a little to quickly. She grabs onto the couch and stands up.
"May I talk to your dad in private? I want to thank him for letting me stay and I wanted to ask him some questions about you guys." She says, limping over to dad. She falls and I quickly catch her.
"Your hurt and you still need to rest. We'll let you two talk." I say. I motion to Celia and we go upstairs. I decide to be loyal and not listen. I just start throwing a ball up and down. I can't shake of the feeling I know her from somewhere...

Celia's POV
Once I get to my room, I lock the door. I then run to the bathroom and lock the door there, too. I sit against a wall. I feel sorry for her. Wait! I'm feeling sympathy! I never do that! Oh my god! What the hell is happening?! I should probably summon Blazer, but quietly. I can't have Hunter find out I'm Blazer's master, let alone that I have powers. Not just yet.

"Blazer, get your ass in here." I say. He appears in front of me.
"What's up?" He asks. How should I tell him?
"There's, a problem." I say, looking down. He looks shocked. "I'm starting to feel..." I groan, "sympathy." He gasps. This is a first.
"How are YOU feeling feelings other than revenge, hate, lust, and all that negative stuff?" He asks. Then, he gasps. "I said negative! I normally say that dark stuff is awesome! Wait! Oh hell no! I just said dark!" He yells.
"Keep your voice down! We're gonna get caught by my idiotic brother..." I whisper/yell at him. "We'll find out the source soon enough..."

Lily's POV

Their dad comes and sits next to me. He doesn't look at me, though.
"Lily Rose? You seriously couldn't come up with a better last name?" He asks. "Hey! I did the best with what I had!" I yelled, not loud enough for the twins to hear me. We both start laughing. He hugs me.
"I've missed you. I thought you were dead." He starts to tear up. I rub his back.
"It's okay dad, I've missed you, too. And no, I didn't die. I live in the back of the woods now. Mom put me there. It's a good place, though." I tell him.

He pulls away and wipes his tears. "Do you ever miss your mother?" He asks. "No," I reply, "I know she's watching me from the demon realm. I just wish I could see her more often. But I'm super happy I got to see my dad again, AND I get to meet my siblings face to face for once!" I laugh. "What more could this girl ask for?"
"I'm just happy that my dear daughter, Lily Rose Crowley, is happy." He says, rubbing my cheek.

"You should get some rest. I'll call Hunter down to help you to your room. You can heal it with magic tomorrow. Just don't heal it all the way or they'll get suspicious." Dad says. "Do they have powers, dad?" I ask, even though I know the answer. "No, no they don't. At least, I don't believe so." He says. "Okay." I say.

He starts to walk away. "Oh, and dad?" I ask him, causing him to look back at me. "Yes dear?"
"Don't tell them that I'm their sibling or that I have powers. I'll tell them eventually." I say. "Okay." He responds.
"I love you." I say. "I love you, too." He says. And goes upstairs to get Hunter. A minute later, Hunter comes downstairs.
"Ready?" He asks. "Ready." I answer. He helps me upstairs and shows me my room. I lay down.
"Goodnight." "Goodnight." I say. I quickly fall into a dreamless sleep.
