Tale Of The White Wolf [River Of Wonders - 2]

20: The White Wolf

[Halmir Light]

Lily was standing on the stairs, waiting for her brother. Everyone was gathered in the hall, meeting with the House Light. Only Telchar wasn't with others. Lily stood still, fear in her eyes. Otherwise she looked normal. She was thinking to leave when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She turned around and saw her brother climbing down the stairs.

Telchar stopped when he saw Lily and looked at her angrily. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was waiting for you." Lily answer, trying her best to hide fear from her voice.

"I don't need you to wait for me. Go away." He said and climbed down few more steps and reached Lily. She looked at him with sadness in her eyes.

"Why don't you want to accept me?" She asked.

"I don't need you." Telchar said, half-heartedly and continued climbing down. His answer made Lily angry and she followed him. When he walked into view of others, Lily shouted.

"Stop!" Everyone in the hall fell silent and looked up at them. Telchar stopped and turned around. "Why do you hate me?"

"It happened" Telchar's temper also rose and he shouted back. Blue stood up with shock. "because of you. If you wouldn't have born, mother were still alive."

"Who said it was my fault. Even if I wouldn't have born, Lady Thuna would have attack because of him." Lily pointed at her father. Everyone glanced at Shadow and then returned their attention towards Lily.

"It was because of you, I suffered." Lily stared at her brother with wide eyes. "I was taken away from home and was forced to live in that lonely palace. It was all because of you. I hate you. You are not my sister. I will never accept you." At his last words Lily lost control on her temper. Far in the corner of the hall, Duilin poked Denethor and they silently left the hall.

"Fine. I don't care. Love me or hate me, both are in my favour." Lalaith smiled at her words, because she had said them to her. "If you love me I will always be in your heart and if you hate me I will always be in your mind." Tears rolled down her face as she ran passed him. Telchar stared at the floor lost for words. Someone grabbed his right wrist and turned him around. It was Blue.

"Why do you always think for yourself? Do you have any idea how much we both have suffered. Lord Halias and his brother were there to protect you and give you company. But no one was there to protect us. She lived her whole life not knowing that who her real family was. Is your pain more than hers? I forgot who my family was. Is your pain greater than mine? Answer me!!" Blue shouted, crying. Shadow looked at Telchar and closed his eyes. Blue grabbed the collars of Telchar's robes and shook him. "Answer me!!" She moved away from him and took a deep breath. "If you don't want her to be your sister than say goodbye to me too. I am not your sister anymore." She said with pain, turned around and ran away. Telchar tried to grab her wrist but she was already away from him.
