Death is kind

chapter 1

AN: All of this is mine there all original characters, hope you like it! 

The sky was dark and it was pouring rain as Rube cooked dinner for her family. Now that I said that she was cooking dinner for her family you see her as a mother don't you, well you're far off she's just 12.

You see my mother was a blacksmith yeah a blacksmith that sure is a weird job for a lady, my father was a doctor but not just any doctor he worked for the queen. Well getting back on track I was making dinner for my family because my mother was not herself she wouldn't talk nor sleep or eat she just sat by the window waiting for father to return he has not returned for many days he's usually back after 2 or 3 but he's been gone for a week in a half. I have a pretty good guess of what happened to him but I won't dare say it in front of my mother.

"Mummy when will you teach me to sew" that's my little sister Toneau but we all call her Ton she's about 8, my mother doesn't say anything she just kept staring out the window. As I put dinner on the table we start to hear sirens there getting louder and for the first time in a week, my mother jumps into life.

"Rubiel take Toneau, Sebastian, and William to Mr. Betouslets house and tell him that they know"

"They know what mum," William asked but mother just ignored him and pushed us out the back door. Mr.B's house is only a block away so we get there fast but by the time we got there we were soaked. I knock on the door I hear a grumble come from inside the house as the door opens I quickly say " they know." I see his face grow pale as he hurry's us inside, closing the door behind him.There are a few candles lite but other than that it's dark.

"Were you kids followed here?" he asked in the most serious tone.

"I-I don't think so why?" but he just ignored me. He walks into the kitchen Ton looks terrified

" is mummy ok Rube, what's happening?"

"Everything is going to be ok mummy will be ok, we're safe and that's all that matters," William says, that seemed to be the right thing to say because she stopped shaking, I give William a thankful look. William and Sebastian are twins age 11, William is the more calming and shy of the 2, Sebastian is very smart but is very loud and speaks his mind.

"Would you kids like some tea."

"What we would like is for you to tell us what's going on," Sebastian said annoyance in his voice.

"Well, it's a long story."

"We have time."

The man gives in and finally mutters a fine.

"It all started in the 1850s the people of the world wanted it to be safer so they came up with a law everyone agreed on the law and if you didn't you would have to keep your opinions to yourself. The law was that anyone who has inherited feltomnues would be killed."

"What are feltomnues?" I asked,thinking about how this has nothing to do with us.

"There magical beings, well not so magical just, well extremely intelligent. You see people thought feltos were a threat to humans because they knew things others don't and people didn't like that not one bit. Well after 60 years they thought that they had killed ever falto but there was just one family left that no one suspected could have been faltos. That family consisted of women and a man now they were both faltos but when they had given birth to a baby girl they realized that she was not a felto. There was nothing that could have explained why she was not like them. Well, fast forward 15 years the girl was just 15 when she found the love of her life the couple had a baby girl but the mother knew she was different she had inherited her grandparent's powers she was a falto. 1 year later they had twins and they were also faltos now the mother had her husband swore to secrecy that he would never tell a soul, years later they had another girl but she was not a falto. Then one day the father was killed, the mother knew that they had probably been found out so she was always on the lookout then one day they had found them so she had them flee to my house and that's where the story ends."

"Wait so were faltos" I asked completely confused.

"Yeah I told you it was a long story," he said laughing.

"Wait so we have special powers, what are they?" of course Ton would want powers but just before I corrected her, Seb did.

"Well not all of us ,Rube, Will and I do, but didn't you listen to what he said the last daughter they had did not have powers, that's you."

"So I'm useless!" Ton started to cry but I don't think she really cared about that, she's scared that the police have already killed mum.
