Forever Siblings; come what may..

Chapter Fifteen

Oris' POV

"Hi dad!" Allie smiles when her call is answered. She winks at me and I urge her to go on. She is the only help we can use to track the man down.

"Oh my sweetheart. Any problem?" Father's voice is full of amusement. I will never understand the reason behind his love for her. Even after everything she has done to him, including choosing us over him.

"Not really. Just missed you!" She palm covers my mouth. I hope she doesn't miss him in real life.

"Maybe we could hang out darling daughter." He proposes.

"Oh yes Dad. Tomorrow would be better. Pick me up at noon. We could have father daughter fun at the park." She hangs the call, then turns to poke me on the stomach. Coy and Elex laugh at our little game. That's a deal.

I tell her that I almost shit on her for telling him that she just missed him. She laughs and..." You would have betrayed us. He would have known that I had put him on speaker." She pouts. Oh, I am sorry.

"I still don't believe that the two of you are having great fun. Seems a dream come true." Coy speaks to no one in particular. He is drinking from his water bottle. God knows what fun he finds in carrying a water bottle around with him. That is so girlish. Oh, and yea, I too can't believe that Allie and I are having a mature conversation. Life sometimes can turn around.

*{Somewhere else}*
Rene's POV

"The park! What about the park?" I ask. I am beginning to get irritated with Ted. He has been acting weard since morning. He seems so taken up in his own fucking thoughts. He murmurs some words unconsciously and when I ask, he just ignores me. He's getting cold and I wonder what is not happening right.

"That is the third time you are saying things unconsciously, or even consciously, who knows." I smack at him when he looks at me as if I am talking to myself.

"I am sorry Rene." He says coldly.
"Do not 'I am sorry Rene' me. Just tell me what it is that is happening." I counter harshly. I believe in using fire to fight fire.
"Okay. I am not sorry and don't pester me again." He throws it to my face.

I should actually stop pestering Ted, right? Him that I chose over my siblings. Him that brought division among us. Oh yea, I should stop pestering him. But I am In this damn hotel room because of him. I love the devil in him, and I still love the angel inside the devil.

"Yes dear. I know that you love me so much and there is nothing you would do." He adds as I cuddle myself at the corner of our bed. Shit. Fuck. What have I done to him to turn around all of a sudden and start acting as if he doesn't know me. A normal girl should be crying right now, but you all know that I am not a normal one. I am a fighter and I don't believe in shit. Ted can as well go die.

Really now? Who am I kidding?

I decide to ignore him and his uncouth tantrums by sleeping. Everybody knows that I love my peace and sleep. When he man's up, he would wake me up. Its early in the morning for me to even get some sleep but I decide to pretend to be sleeping.

"And Rene, you might need to get going. Maybe you are needed somewhere!" I pout at his words. Why doesn't he just come clean and tell me exactly what is happening? Now that he has said that, I begin to feel real shivers in my body. Maybe I am needed somewhere. Maybe, maybe not!

"I thought you loved me! I thought you cared for me! I thought you would stick by me! I thought you were mine when I stood up against my siblings for you!" I sit up and face him in the eyes.

"And that's what it is. I love you and I will fight for you but..." An hint of some honesty is evident in the eyes.

"But what Ted? You can't be open with me about simple things then you say I need to go...yet you love me! What a lame like?" I am now too angry to listen. He is a fucked up son of a bitch. I was wrong and I wish I knew.

"You just start going." He tells me and true to his words, I push the door open and off I go. I am going back home, to my siblings. Truth is no matter what I did, they would always welcome me back, all with open arms.

"The battle won't be easy Rene. I love you more." I think I hear his last words well. The battle won't be easy. The battle won't be easy. The battle won't be easy. My mind is not resting.

Ted's POV

I feel her footsteps tapping down as she leaves. Pain engulfs me and for a moment I want to run after her. I know even if I do, she won't look back, she didn't look back at Oris when he called her back. I am just Ted, and Oris is his elder brother.

I know I could have explained something but even then she would not have understood. So I chose to push her away because the siblings might need her. It is not as if I care about them but I do care about her so much. With that, I know if anything happens to any of them, I won't be able to console her. So I just did it.

Well, at the park!
This is the opportunity Cornelius has been waiting for. He wants to strike really hard. It is not as if he doesnt know that the call was staged, he does. He too, in his desire to do away with his children, apart from Allie of course, went far in and deeper. None of the siblings knows that they are teaming up against the worst monster the world has ever known. Without Rene with them, they would lose. But with her by their side, they will hold for a little longer even if they don't win at the end.

I hope she will forgive my manners. That is if she survives.

I have been trying to look past the park and see if I would see some light but no, it's all darkness. The air is thick with bloody smell and oh, this is going to be terrible. I wish I knew of a way I could help. I really hope it doesn't end that way.
