Rake was shaking a little while he was holding his hands up. He was looking right into Celia's beautiful eyes. This was going to be so hard. His heart come up to his chest again. That same familiar feeling. It was only ever with her. She was so beautiful and brave holding the gun. He let out a deep breath.
"Can I talk now, Celia?" He looked into her eyes, big and blue, seeing the blood dried on her face.
"Talk." Inside her heart was pounding in her ears. The sight of him made her feel as if her heart was exploding through her skull. His beautiful green huge eyes just looked right through her. His jet black hair was just perfect as always. His gorgeous body in the same tailor black dress suit. Why did he leave us. He left us alone for 10 years.Then she was angry and tightened the grip on the gun as she squared her jaw waiting for him to talk.
Xavier was trying to control his breathing and bracing for something more to happen. The adrenaline still pumping through his body. His spiky red hair was glittering with shards of glass. So he looked sparkly. His cheek was bleeding slowly down the left side of his face. He stared at his father in the eyes. He was eager to hear his stupid excuse for abandoning he and his mother for all those years.
"Celia, I have to tell you that I am not what you think."
"No shit Rake!"
" No, I mean....I am not human. I know this is gonna be really hard for you to hear and to understand...ok.......Celia please put the gun down, please. I still can die if you shoot me. Celia.?"
Celia brought the gun down slowly after popping it up and stepping forward scaring her husband. "What?"
"I mean I am not human. I fell in love with you. It is against our rules to ever be married to a human and I was allowed 5 of the most wonderful years ever. I am a goblin. Yes ...Celia ...breath. You will be ok. Just breath.
Let me continue, We live here on the earth too but you would never know us when you see us except for our green eyes. We can shape shift into different ....well shapes." He paused because Celia was looking as though she was going to throw up. She turned pale and got really weak. She grabbed the frame of a door to steady herself. Rake took a step forward and she took a quick step back. Xavier took a step forward.
Sadly Rake just started to speak some more, " Celia I am telling you the truth. Our son is the first of his kind. He is half goblin and half human. Look at my eyes and look at his"
"I know he has your eyes Rake. Why are you trying to fill us up with this bullshit? Just tell us that you found another woman and have another life somewhere else. The least you could have done was at least drop a letter to us." She looked so sadly at him. Maybe he went schitzo during his time away. Maybe now he is on meds.
"I knew you weren't going to believe me Celia. I will have to show you. There are some of us that can't shift or morph. I can but my family that I have brought with me can't."
"Oh my God. You are completely psychotic now. Why the hell did you blow up my house?"
"I can explain that too. But first let me show you...OK. I will show you what we look like for real. ok"
Before Celia could come up with something more to say Rake's skin started to get fuzzy. He was a 6'5 huge man and then he was shrinking a little at a time. His skin turned into a grey color. His hair started to grow long down his back. His green eyes expanded and seemed huge in his face. Small, white fangs grew out of his mouth past his top lip which was a dark green color now. The nice business suit ripped off in pieces and was replaced with leather looking native American pants and no shirt. He turned to the side and his ears enlarged a bit but they sharpened at the tip.
