I felt my eyes prickling and my vision suddenly blurry. I tried to say something, but nothing came out so I just closed my eyes and cried. I felt my brothers arm wrap around me and I leaned against his shoulder, soaking his top with my never ending tears. Every time I thought about it made me cry even more. My mother died, protecting our people. Xavier that lying betraying bastard, it disgusted me that I liked him when he thought I was a joke all along. This pain hurts more then the time I broke my arm, more then the time I lost my best friend... It hurts to know i will never see the loving smile of my mothers, never to hug her again and never to hear her soothing words.
I felt a tear drop on my shoulder and I realized my brother too is crying, there were no needs for words. We both knew what each other were thinking, hurt, lost, betrayal, revenge and war. We stayed like that till the sun started setting.
I tighten my grip on my brother, "what we suppose to do now?" my voice came out barley a whisper but he still heard it, "I'm not sure, but I was told to await fathers orders" "oh" was all I could manage, the shock of yesterday still lingering on us. I could no longer cry, no tears came out. My heart and body felt heavy.
I got up and looked around, wait this isn't my room? I looked questioningly at my brother "Yesterday after you killed-" I flinched "-the commander of Latvia and became unconscious, the king of Latvia himself decided to join the blood feast" his voice was full of venom, even I felt afraid "but what he said was for everyone to retreat. Him and father were to have a private meeting and I was to carry you and follow Dr Norton. I was carrying you expecting to go to your room or something, but I realized we were going down a hallway I have never been through. I asked Norton where are we going, all he said was follow me, so I did. He lead us to a secret library which then he pulled out a book and the bookshelf moved I was shocked at first but I went through the passage way and we walked for while and there were stairs that lead out side and we climbed it and I found myself staring at a garden. Norton told me to put you down on the bench where he can heal you, after about 20 minutes you were bandaged up and I asked Norton where we were going now and he said we were just outside of the palace gates, so I figured we have been walking under ground, we got into a car and another 20 minutes alter we were inside a helicopter and now were on a small island called Naissaar where father had built a safe house for us. So here we are"
I was left speechless. I was gong to ask more questions when the door swung open, I jumped and turn around and stood in a fighting stance. My brother put his hand on my shoulder "Its just Norton, calm Ivory" I loosened up and stood up straight, my back slightly hurting me. "Thank you for your care Norton" "It was my pleasure princess, but you really should be resting, you lost a bit of blood and were drained of energy" his voice was tense but clear "I'm feeling quite alright, thank you for your concern but I just want to talk to father" "that is why I am here, your father in on the other line, waiting for you" I grabbed my brothers hand and walked over to Norton who then lead us to what I can guess was the kitchen, his hand gestured to the phone and I picked it up, "Father?" I asked softly "Ivory, Declan im so glad you two are alright. I knew I could trust Norton" Declan grabbed the phone and placed it on loud speaker, "what's happening father?" My brother nearly yelled into the phone, I gave him a harsh look. "I'm just going to give it to you directly. You both are not to come back here, you both will not attend your mothers funeral and you both will be moving to California and live normal teenage lives, this is what your mother wanted" his voice was strained, hard and tense. It made me want to cry, I remember just yesterday his voice sweet, loving carefree and happy. Declan gave me a wary look, 'I'm fine' I mouthed to him, he nodded his head. "Father what do you mean, we are not going to attend mothers funeral!?" "you heard me, remember: I love you both very much. From now on listen to Norton and do everything he says." "I love you too father" Declan and I said in unison and the line went dead. I looked at Norton, "follow me" was all he said.
