Quinn's pov:


I was sitting at the cliff, I could understand why mom loved this exact place it, I was softly singing to myself, mom had taught me so many things this being one of them.

I had my eyes closed with a smile, if only she was here herself to sing it to us not me singing it into the wind.

"Well happy twenty first birthday me." I hummed softly rolling my eyes with a chuckle, going to school such a thoughtful gift, oh well I told no one but I didn't want people to give me things either way, I might tell Max and such after school but not loads of people.

I stood up and zipped back home to wake the twins.

"Mike, Anna get up sweet hearts you will get to meet other kids today." I told them as they were gently shook awake, they slept in one bed like they always did, unable to sleep unless either one of them, mom or me was with them, they just couldn't if they were alone.

"I don't want to." I chuckled as I quickly dressed them.

"Now now Anna it will be alright you stay here, if anything happens remember who cares a lot and will always come to help you?"

"You?"

"Well yes Mike but I won't be here like always, I need to meet kids my age too so who else like that here do you know?"

"Mix?"

"It's Max but yeah her, if mom was here she'd tell you she is also your mom so you can trust her okay? when I'm not here she is to be called." Despite still not being sure about my stance on Max I am not stupid to not know she'd murder anyone if they hurt us, she cares too much.

"Okay."

"And remember to never take of your glasses okay?"

"Okay."


I quickly made us food before zipping them to the school inside the reserve and kissed their head before running off, Max wanted me to meet someone before going off to school.

I nervously scratched the left side of my neck over my scar, I always do this when nervous.... Yeah I said scar, even when father ripped out my insides I didn't scar, my people don't scar.... Unless one thing happens...... Fire, fire can kill us so it does leave a mark, anything that burns will, my scar starts on the left side of my neck, going down my back, trails down my hip on the side and stops around the middle of my thigh on the side too.... I don't feel like telling you exactly how I got it right now....

I shook away the memory and knocked on the door.

"Hello there excited for your first day?" Max said as she opened the door and I shrugged, I had been home-schooled since mom did want to teach us stuff as we never left the castle's grounds, I had no idea what school was like. "Anyhow grumpy come in, he is here."

I stepped inside to see quite a young looking man but still older than Max, pale as paper.

"You look a lot like her." He said, standing up and zipping over like vampires do, holding a hand out to me. "Hood morning, I'm Hans."

"Quinn...... Why did you want me to meet him Max?"

"Well Quinn Hans here was raised long ago by your mother as if he was her own."

I just stared at his held out hand for me to shake, it was like something shattered inside of me but I didn't know what exactly, I just knew that I lost something.... I was the oldest, it was me that needed to look after the younger, protect them.... And now I was being told I wasn't, it wasn't me, I'm not the oldest child....

"I'm out." I turned away trying to walk away before Max grabbed my shoulder, I snapped around and grabbed her hand and pulled it off with a tightly set jaw as her hand had brushed against the scar under the shirt, images flashing through the back of my mind. "Don't touch me." I growled, I was fine with her hugging me when I was crying she wasn't touching that part, I was fine with her hugging me yesterday night because I invited it but not this, not this.

"Quinn let me go." She said seriously.

"You don't touch me unless I tell you that you can." I was also serious, I inherited the resting bitch face from my mom so it was easy to look serious or bored, any of the two.

"You will not talk to me this way; get a grip you can't be jealous your mother raised him." I smiled darkly as I glared at her.

"She isn't your mother." I spat while looking at Hans before looking at Max and grabbing her by her collar and pulling her close to my face. "She isn't his mother, she is mine! Only mine! She's my mother and only mine! No one can have her! SHE'S MINE!!!"

In one second it was like a bullet was shot through my heart or that's what it felt like as I dropped her to the ground, staring down at her with wide eyes, furred worried eyebrows and mouth slightly agape as my hands fell to my side slowly at the images I saw.

When I look someone in their eyes I need to actively decide I won't read their minds to not do it and well I didn't here.

To my horror what I saw was my own image replaced by my father's before coming back to me.

I stared at her silently before running out towards where they told me the school was.

I covered my mouth while running, I was terrified of how I had made her see him in me, I made Max see my father in me and so easily, it was horrifying to understand to see I had taken not only some of his physic but also behavior as my own.... I'm more like that monster then I thought I was.... No..... No no I can't be but I am!!! No!!! I can't be like him!!!! NO !!!!
