Forever Siblings; come what may..

Chapter Nine

Oris' POV

I hold on to the door frame for strength. Some part of me is crumbling from within as I watch Rene run after Ted. I didn't know that my sister would choose her over her siblings. Why didn't I think before speaking? This is Soo me, always acting on impulse.
"You witch, what is it that you want from my family?" I had asked. I immediately regretted calling him a witch as soon as the words were out. In real sense, he's a witch but it sounded so rude of me to call the devil by his real name.
"Say that again and I will tell you the truth that even your siblings know- you are a monster Oris. This makes you not different from what Rene and I are." Man, Ted has them guts. These words hit me to the core. I am not a monster, I am just being a responsible first born.

I jumped on him, ready to hit him hard but unfortunately, it's Rene that I landed on. Big mistake. Coy responded faster than I expected. I felt his fist connect with my left jaw and and for a moment, I think I smelled blood.

Coy is the coolest in our family. He spends most of his time watching us as if he doesn't understand our fucking shit. But something about him is so intriguing; his urge to protect Allie and Rene. Whenever you want to see his wild side, just try something on the two. That's when the angel transform into a devil. Funny enough, Coy does not believe in any weapons. He goes physical and I swear, he might look gently lean, but his fists and kicks are worse than it's imaginable.

"See big brother!" He fumes, holding me by the neck. Holy hell, Rene almost hit her head on the wall but Ted was faster. He came to her rescue very fast.

"You won't walk out on us." I call out on Rene.
"Watch me brother. Ted is going and so am I." Rene responds. The words continue shattering the broken pieces of my heart further. What was I thinking forcing her to choose between Ted and Us? I should have known that love comes out stronger and that it always wins.

"Try harder!" Allie cries behind me. She tried calling us down but she couldn't. Now she is all teary looking at our only sister leaving us with a total stranger. Try harder! Really now? I have been trying but she is hell-bent into leaving if Ted leaves. Well, she can as well leave, she will come back after cooling down.

Coy is giving me his murderous look. Truth is, I know him better than anyone else- or else I think I do. No peace will be found between him and I in as much as Rene isn't home. Well, he is the last person I would wish to fight because I am so sure he wouldn't back off even when he sees me with a gun. He would rather I shoot him that back off. And he's my cool brother who is always very calm and peace loving. What people don't know is that his name gets replaced by wild, whenever you touch our sisters. He's their Knight in the dark and in the day.

"Look at me well Oris." Oh! The last time Coy called me by my name on my face, is few months ago when I slapped Allie. She had told me that I look exactly the same as Cornelius, both in manners and physically. How could she say that of me? Everybody knows that I am not like him, he killed mother and I have never killed her. He called us bastards, all of us, except her. I regretted the slap immediately when Coy got me on the neck. He was ready to murder me for her. His several blows were unbearable and it's when he had totally become wild and was about to step on my neck, that Allie screamed his name urging him to stop. She saved my ass from him. Now when he calls me by my name, I involuntarily shiver.

I run after Rene before Coy lands on me. When she sees me, she takes off and what follows is a thin breeze that hits me,cooling my system. They are no more in my sight. Fuck them witches out.

Our kingdom is now divided and we all know the effects that come with that. We shall be defeated if Cornelius decides to launch an attack right now. Rene is not there and Coy would not see eye to eye with me. Damn us, this would be our end. I walk back, few steps, to my car and from the gate, I can hear Coy shouting as Allie tries to still him.

"Don't tell me Allie. Oris keeps fucking things up and now look at this, Rene is gone and we don't know when she's going to come back, if at all she will."

"Calm down Coy. We all know that she will be back." Allie tries to reason with him.

"See your life sister, we all know that she's going to come back! Really now? How sure are you?" Coy retorts. I can feel his hands fisted hard on the wall.

"She will. We are her only family." Oh please, that is not true. If we were her only family, she would have stuck by us. Ted is a family too and they are so much in love.

"Lier!" Coy snaps at her. " She definitely has another family by the mere fact that she has him, Ted, I mean." This is so true.

"What about our vow? She can't back out of it- she's part of us all, the forever Siblings; come what may..." Oh yes. She can't back out. Her blood flows in each of us and our blood in her veins too. We are the Forever Siblings but who knows, she might back out. No, that is not possible. I want to get in the car and get back to my house. This will help but looking at the situation right now, I have to face Coy and get some blows for being a dick.

Allie looks Coy in the eye when I appear in the door. This is what she does whenever she wants to remind you of who you are...that you shouldn't be fighting a fellow sibling. Coy's eyes strays into mine and I see the meaning of anger. His eyes a bloody red. Holy shit!

"They disappeared into a thin film of air." What else should I tell them. "She'll be back." I add.

"She'll be back brother." Allie tells Coy, holding her palm flat on his chest. His breathing is accelerating. He's trying hard not to push Allie aside and come for me. Elex is seated on the couch munching on some biscuits. He's disgustingly comfortable in the midst of all this. For a moment, I wish I was him- my kid brother.

"Do me a favour please." Coy tells Allie.
"Anything for you." She cocks her head on the sideways.

"Get me a bottle of chilled water." This will chill him out.
"Under one condition." She playfully pokes him on his tummy. Coy isn't taking any of this.

"Which is?" It's his time to cock his head on the left side.
"Come with me!" She grabs his hand and pulls him behind her towards the kitchen. That was so easy.

"Go home brother." Elex tells me between apple bites. He's extraordinarily eating today.
Before both Coy and Allie disappear in the kitchen, the former's gaze finds mine and guess what, I would stay here if only I have a death wish. My brother is seriously hating on me and I would be a fool to stay around. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I am so afraid of him hurting me, the vice versa is it.

"See you in the tomorrow!" I wave at Elex, who in turn does not wave back. He too is angry with me. Everybody is. Even Allie, she's angry with me. All for pushing Rene to the wall. I  am angry with myself too.

As I climb into my truck, one thing is so clear in my mind, the fight between Coy and I, is forthcoming and it won't stay long. He never let's go so fast. In twenty minutes I am in my house and when I check the time, it's past midnight. Guilty creeps in me and I admit to the truth, I am an asshole for crying out loud. It's past midnight and Rene is somewhere in the cold.

It doesn't take long before sleep takes me away and images of sharp swords tearing into some huge heart's and deep blue eyes start haunting me in a dream.
