Battle of the Zodiacs

{ 14 } Her Brother

Third Person POV:
"Bean Bean!", Bubble said, as she rushed into the room. The room was a complete mess as Bubble found Alina holding a knife and Sapphire laying in the floor unconscious.

"What? She was getting annoying!", Alina replied as she stared at Sapphire's body on the ground.

"Did you murder her?!", Willow asked, who was shocked. "Nah. I just scared her so much she started crying and fainted." Alina responded casually.

"Umm... oh dear..." Willow replied hesitantly, still shocked at the situation. "Bean Bean! Clean this up quick!" Bubble said as she started picking up the mess.

"What is the name of-" A voice said. The three girls turned around to see the manager in the doorway of Willow and Bubble's room.
"It- Its not what it looks like!" Bubble said stuttering her words in a panic. "Now, I don't know what you three have been doing in my hotel, but I advise that you leave." The angry manager replied. At first the three were speechless.

"I SAID LEAVE!" The man shouted as he pointed to the door. The girls hurriedly packed up their few belongings and carried Sapphire out of the inn. Bubble still had the whistle from a few days ago, so she whistled to the others to pack up and leave. After everyone was outside with their luggage they decided to plan. "Welp I highly doubt we can stay in Wingdale after what Alina did." Blake said as he looked at Alina.

"Hey! I'm did you a favor." Alina mumbled grimly. "I agree with you Blake, but do we have a plan of where we're going to travel to next?" Julian replied. "Oh we're not leaving quite yet." Willow said mysteriously, smirking.

"What do you mean?" Bubble asked. "Well... let's just say I know someone..." Willow responded as she continued to act mysterious.
"What." Bubble said, confused. "You'll see...!" Willow said playfully. She jumped on her Kelpie. "C'mon! We don't have all day!" Willow said as she rode off.

The others hopped on their creatures and rode off after Willow. They rode around the corner, down the street, past the town, and down the hill.  "Oí! You! C'mere!" A voice said. Everyone turned around to see a tunnel under the hill.
"Yeah! That's it! Come closer!" The voice said.
--------
Should we trust that voice?
Yes. I know who that is. Just do what the voice tells you until I say something not to.
--------
As the group followed Willow's lead they walked into a tunnel. The tunnel lead into a big opening underground with many corridors. Torches light up the corridors. From one corridor you see shadows sitting at a table. You could also hear laughter and voices talking.
"Now! Just follow me!~" the voice continued as it echoed down one of the corridor.

The corridor lead to many rooms. The voice continued to speak and the group followed the voice into a room with couches, and a table with two chairs sitting across from each other. On the table was a chess board.
Ah...the chess board... my old nemesis... we meet again...! Bubble thought.

"State your names." The voice demanded. "No." Willow replied defiantly. "Oooo!~" Sapphire giggled.

"Guys, look..." Jasmine said as she looked at her hair. The potion was starting to wear off. Everyone looked like their normal selves.
"Crap." Willow said nervously. "W-Willow... is t-that you ...!?" The voice asked. "Yes..." Willow hesitantly replied looking down as if she was ashamed. All of a sudden the voice had a body. A boy that looked around 14 with black horns above his ears, and he was wearing a black jacket and a gas mask. His right eye was a neon blue color and his left eye a bright red. His black hair covered a part of his left red eye but it's shine shown through his hair.

The boy ran towards Willow and hugged her. Willow was still shocked and didn't return the hug. "WillowohmygodWillowImissedyousomuchyouhavenoideawhywouldyouleavemelikethatIhavewaitedwhatseemslikeforevermomanddadsaidthatyouleftbecauseyoudidntloveusanymorewhywouldyoudosuchathinglikethat?" The boy said in one sentence still hugging Willow. Tears stung his eyes as he looked at Willow.
"X-Xyler I..." Willow replied.
"You remember my name! Willow why did you leave me! I missed you so much! Who are these people! Are they your friends!?" Xyler responded now sobbing like a baby as Willow held him in her arms.

"I would never leave you Xyler. Who made you..." Willow replied now realizing something
"Mom said that you were no longer my sister, and Dad said that we must never speak of you again!" Xyler said in between sobs.
"Wait, 'sister'?" Suki said confused.
"Um... yes... everyone this is my brother Xyler.", Willow said shyly. "He was the voice talking to us earlier." Willow added
"Uh, nice to meet everyone! Who are these people Willow?" Xyler asked.

"These are my friends; this is Alina, Squidney, Allie, Summer, Suki, JayJay, Lucas, Jasmine, Julian, Blake, Melody, and Owen. The fox is Sapphire, but she's irrelevant." Willow replied.
"You didn't say Bubble's name." Melody said.
"Yeah, why didn't you say Bubble?" Owen asked curiously. "Um..." Bubble said, looking at Willow.
--------
I don't want to tell them yet...
I understand... we'll tell them later.
--------
"Ah yes, of course! Bubble is my friend!" Willow replied. "Anyway! This is Xyler he's 14 and half demon." Willow added changing the topic.

"WHAT?!" Alina said amazed. "HE'S A HALF DEMON!?" Alina's eyes widened.

"Um yeah ... is that a problem...?" Xyler asked
"No, it's just... OH MY GOD I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOUR DEMON WORK! TELL ME ALL OF YOUR SECRETS! HOW DO YOU DO IT?!" Alina shouted.

"Uh..." Xyler said, baffled. "HOW DID YOU BECOME A DEMON?! IS THERE A CERTAIN RITUAL?! DOES IT RUN IN YOUR FAMILY?!" Alina continued, more excited than ever.

"No... I was born with it... so yeah... no ritual, but there might be one... yeah I don't really know, sorry..." Xyler said. "Aw, dammit." Alina replied. "If it ran in our family I would've also been a demon. Everyone in our family is human." Willow replied.

"Well, welcome! This is where I stay! Come follow me! I have many things to show you!" Xyler responded as he opened a secret door in the chess room that lead down a flight of stairs.
"Ow!" Owen said after he hit his head.
"Now be careful, it's very tiny and narrow so you might need to duck your head." Xyler added as he walked down the stairs.
"Maybe you could've told us sooner." Julian muttered, he had also hit his head earlier. As they reached towards the bottom of the stairs, they heard glasses clink and voices laughing merrily.

"Who else is here?" Willow asked. "A few of my friends, their friends, their children, their friends, oh yeah and also mom and dad!" Xyler replied.

"WHAT!? Xyler, I can't see mom and dad again!" Willow said in a panic as she stoped mid step down the stairs. "Why not? We're your family!" Xyler said. "No... you don't understand ... I can't ..." Willow responded, freaking out.

"Oh come on!" Xyler said as he grabbed his sister and pulled her down the stairs into massive room with a long table. Everyone was eating and talking, little kids running around the table chasing each other, laughing.
"Everyone! Look who I found! It's Willow!" Xyler said. Everyone stopped eating and looked in Xyler's direction. The kids stopped playing and looked at Willow.

Everyone in the room was silent...
