Deception

Chapter 2

When Johnny woke he wrapped his arms around Lexi and pulled her close but he quickly realized this was not Lexi.
"Cam!?" Johnny was satring into his twin's eyes.
"Good morning hunny." Cam teased as he tried to give him a kiss.
"You have issues.
Where's my wife?
Why are you here?" Johnny kept Cam at arms length as they laughed.
"Her and Kay went exploring.
I came to wake you.
You looked too peaceful so I been laying here staring up at that mural." Cam smirked as he pointed out the scene of angels locked in some sort of battle on the ceiling.
"How did you sleep?" Johnny asked as he analyzed the mural.
"Excellent.
Its weird but I feel safe here.
There were times Kay slept over at the archive and I still ended up sleeping with you.
But here I just literally slept.
Man did I need to sleep too I feel like a different person.
Maybe that was my problem why I was so easily upset." Cam thought as he started roaming around like a kid that needed to go run off steam.
Johnny saw Cam was looking more like himself, his eyes were brighter and he seemed happy and wanting to explore their new surrounding.
"Okay where to first?" Johnny said as he slipped on his shoes.
"The study...
Jones wants to talk to you boys." Carson smirked from the doorway.
Cam and Johnny both sighed as they reluctantly followed Carson.
"You two are acting like kids being taken to the principal's office.
Its really not as bad as you think." Carson chuckled.

The moment they entered the study they were in awe.
"Wait how can you have the first edition of Pilgrims Progress?" Cam said as he looked at the book opened to an amazing picture inside a display case.
"The one you have is the first edition of that style of books.
I have the authors actually first hot off the press edition.
Have a seat I have something important to tell you.
I figured best to start with you two since you are the oldest of you siblings and cousins." Jonah invited them to sit at two over stuffed chairs by the fire place while he and Carson sat in the other two across from them.
"First off we have already established you are royalty.
But not what line of royalty your in exactly.
See I am not the person you think I am.
As you have already noticed Twins definitely runs in the family identical.
Alexander and your Father Sebastian, you two, Raven and Mason.
But what you didn't know that I too am a twin.
My name is Jonah.
Jones is well was my brother till our father cut him off, severed him and his offspring like dead branches from his line.
Jones was the one that tried to kill our eldest brother after our father died.
Instead he left the thrown and faked his death.
Samuel is still in hiding doing what he loves most helping your parents save souls and children.
Just like you two he takes in a lot of strays.
When Samuel found out I with the help of Carson secretly, got Jones off the trown and out of the kingdom he told me where he had a Will giving me all authority in this realm to reestablish it to its former glory and better.
I am sorry for the tests I put you through.
I had to make sure you were nothing like them.
But not all of it was me.
The only painful thing I put you two through was those hideous tattoos.
They were made with a special plant thorn that will either stay if you are truly evil or fade to vanish if you are pure of heart." Jonah paused and allowed the boys sometime to register this information they just received.
They both pulled up their sleves and saw the symbol on their forearm that was just there last night had vanished.
"See because you are now here it had gone.
Even if you didn't come here it still would have faded in time.
Now there is a plan for the amount of blood I collected and I will tell you when the time comes.
I am not you Greatest grandparent but instead your Greatest uncle.
My blood line was deemed pure the same way as you.
One day our father gathered us all and used the thorn on us, he found out who was pure and who was evil he cast out the evil.
Unfortunately you two along with your siblings and cousins except Ariel are from the line that was cut off.
Now somehow your grandfather Alistar figured out away to get Sebastian back into the line.
He knew it was already to late for Alexander but Sebastian was still pure and innocent, loveing and trusting even when both his father and brother didn't deserve it.
One day Alistar contacted me and I tested his boy sure enough the mark vanished instantly.
I brought him back into our line, writing him back into our family book.
Jones thought if Alexander took you boys at such a young age he could still corrupt the line.
He was mistaken your lives were already sealed.
That day when I forced you to marry Lexi.
Jones only sent Carson to get you to sign his pathetic contract.
I switched it with my own, adopting you as my own heirs back into the kingdom.
You are now cut from his line the moment you stepped foot through the portal to this realm.
Jones no longer has a hold on you.
He will still try to harm you but its not going to be easy for him.
This is the record of all I just told you with more details.
Take your time read it.
If and I am sure you will have questions come to me or Carson and we'll do our best to explain.
I will not inform the younger ones of any of this till you want us to." Jonah handed Cam and Johnny each a book with their names on it.
They sat in silence trying to process the information they were just given as they sat alone in the study.
"So we are the bloodline of a psycho." Johnny chuckled in disbelief and figures.
"Well actually if we really were Alexander's kids than yeah but Jonah just said our dad was written back in and Jones got Alexander to kidnapped us to corrupt the line.
Now it makes sense that vendetta Alexander had against Dad.
I mean come on Alexander is money hungry, hearing his brother was to be royalty must have tipped him over the edge more." Cam smirked.
