Scarlet Price: The Forgotten

Chapter 16

Xanthe POV*

We cried like babies that night. After Amory and I party was over, he was grounded for yelling and cursing at dad. When we saw him he didn't really seem mad though in fact he was starting to look real happy. It was like he need something from what ever was said because now the look in his eyes was gone. Time started to pass like normal but thing's started to change as my brother and I got older. After that night Amory slowly started to distance him self from everyone including me. He was going through something he didn't what to tell any one about. When I asked dad he said it was probably just a boy thing. I knew better, by our tenth birthday Amory started to get into fight's with any and any guy around out age for any reason. Dad and the other's never really seemed worried about it, that is, until our sixteenth birthday. I was in shock and so was everyone else.

"Amory, you went beyond to far this time!" Our father growled at him but he didn't seem to be paying attention. He was looking at me, everyone was but why?

"Why, why are you all looking at me?" I asked noticing the sound of something dripping and saw it was blood dripping from my brother's hand.

"Xan I, didn't mean to." Amory said as I felt kind of numb. As I looked down at my hands I saw blood covering my left but I couldn't feel the right one.

"I, I can't feel it." I mumbled to my self then looked up at the sound of foot steps. My brother was much taller than me by now and I nearly looked like a child to him even though we was the same age. His eyes was wide with disbelief as he looked at me and for the first time I think I felt, fear. I could feel fear of my own twin, the one that was always so kind to me. Amory looked at me an reached out a hand to touch me and I flinched away from his touch looking at him with the same wide eyed look he was giving me. My brother Amory had gotten into another fight just because he felt like a guy said something and I could feel he would have kilt the guy so I tried to stop him but. Claws suddenly slashed my arm as I put a hand on his shoulder. It was to quick for any of us to react. It was to quick for me to realized my own twin had attacked me.

"Xan..Im sor-"

"I wanna be alone for a little while so please don't touch me." I told him cutting off his apology. He didn't answer but rather kept looking at me before our dad hooked his arm around Amory and started to drag him away as I was being lead in the opposite direction. I could feel Amory looking at me by the second I looked back he was already gone.

"Come on Xanthe." Our aunt Maxi told me as she had a hand on my back. My arm was stitched up and bandaged then put into a sling. There was three claw marks deep from my shoulder to my hand and half way though my arm being fixed I passed out waking up in my room. I looked at the ceiling as I laid in bed thinking about what could be happening to my brother. Why was he so angry and how did he mistaken me? A knock at the door caused me to jump sitting up only to see my father creeping in with a worried look that he tried to hide with a smile but failed.

"Hey princess, I heard you passed out. How are you feeling?" He asked coming to sit on the edge of the bed.

"How is Amory, What did you do with him, where is he?" I asked and he sighed rubbing his head.

"I talked to him princess. Your brother is coming into his dragon and it seem's a rather uncontrollable one at that. He is fine just a little shaken up about what happened. He locked him self in his room to get him self together. You don't have to worry he is just a little confused and it looks like his dragon is pretty mature at least more than that goofy fool." He said and chuckled but I didn't laugh causing him to sigh.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked and he nodded reaching over to pat my head.

"He will be fine once he comes to terms with his dragon and not fight him. this whole time he has been denying his dragon unaware what was going on. Know he did not do it on purpose, it was a accident." He told me and I nodded.
