*Authors note* hey guys I'm so sorry I haven't posted in like 4 weeks (wow) but here is a short one I'll post one tomorrow (hopefully) that might be longer but I don't know. I never knew this story would become as big as it has but I want to thank each and everyone of you for reading. I love this series and wanted to do it justice, you guys where asking for more action so I'm gonna try and write some, no promises on it being good but I'm gonna try. Anyways enjoy this short chapter!
Mare POV
So I woke up this morning hoping that I wouldn't have to tell the kids today, but Cal woke me up and said they're all sitting eating breakfast and that it was "the best time" to tell them. I got downstairs and saw that the kitchen was a mess "what on earth where you guys doing?!" I say to them "it wasn't us it was dad!" Matt says and the others nod along "wow thanks, I can always trust you guys to throw me under the bus can't I" he say kissing their heads. I look at Cal communicating in a look 'you just had to make this harder, now I have to worry about the kitchen being clean' he walks over and hugs me and kisses me "I'm going to clean it don't worry" he says "what's wrong mommy?" Cori asks I take in a deep breath and walk over to the table and sit down, Cal comes beside me and holds my hand "I have something serious I need to talk to you guys about" I start and they all look at me wondering with those big doe eyes trying to figure it out by looking at us "I have to go on a mission, one that I don't know how long I'll be gone. I don't want you guys to worry about what'll happen because everything will be fine, aunt Evangeline will be coming with me and some other soldiers as well. I'm leaving in a week and I know this will be hard but I need you all to be strong for me" when I finish I look at the twins and I can see that they're sad but they don't fully understand which I would expect they are only 3. I look at Matt who looks like he wants to cry but doesn't, he's my little soldier and since I said to stay strong he's trying his best. I look at Cori and it breaks my heart to see her cry, tears are falling but her face is unchanged she gets up and runs upstairs. I get up to go and chase her but Cal grabs my arm and shakes his head "let me talk to her, she's probably mad at you" I nod and he goes up to check on her "do you have to go?" Matt asks, I put my head down and walk over him and the twins and hug them "I do, I need to take care of something your father and I should have a long time ago. I know it will be hard to be apart but I need to go in order you to keep you guys safe. Do you understand?" I ask and they nod.Cal POV
I go up to check on Cori, her and Mare are really close and it hurts her to see her mother put herself in harms way. I feel the same way, I knock on her door "go away" she says and I sigh "honey it's dad, open up please I want to talk to you" I say and I hear her huff then open the door and stomp back to her bed and lie down. I enter her room and close the door and sit down next to her and rub her back. After a while she finally breaks the silence "why does she have to go?" She says and I sigh, I motion for her to scoot over and lie down in her bed and she cuddle next to me "a year before you where born your mother and I fought in a war an" I start to say but she interrupts me "I know about the war you guys fought in but what does that have to do with her leaving?" she asks "someone from the war we thought to be dead isn't, and if we find out that they're a part of the silver elite the situation with them will get a lot more complicated, your mom decided that she needed to put an end to it before things get worse so she put a team together to find out if he really is alive and stop him if he is" I say and she doesn't say anything for a bit "is it Maven?" She asks and I'm shocked, we've never told her about him not even mentioned him to her yet, I don't think we planned to ever tell them "wha... how do you know his name?" I question "I over heard you and mom talking about him the other night, he's your brother isn't he?" She asks and I sigh "he was" I say and she looks confused "was?" She asks, I was hoping I didn't have to tell her so soon but I guess she already knows a lot "I loved my brother, he was younger than me and he was really only my half brother but he felt like a whole brother to me, but my father didn't think the same. He would give me everything and leave nothing for my brother. His mother was mad and decided that she would manipulate him to take the throne from me, so when your mother fell into the arena their plan when into play, they used our love for each other against us. They made us do horrible things but we where saved by Farley and Shade and joined the scarlet guard. And you know what happened from there" I say and she looks shocked "you guys went through all that? Why?" She asks "because we wanted people like your mom and her family to live fair lives, and not be less than anyone else, I love your mother and would do anything for her and vice versa" I say and she nods "so she's going to kill your brother" she says "sadly yes" I say "do you still love him?" She asks and I think for a second "no, I'm more worried about your mother, he loved her the way I do but didn't know how to handle it. He treated you mother horribly and I'm more worried for her than him" I say and she nods. All of a sudden someone knocks on the door "what ever you do don't tell your sibling this they're too young ok?" I Say and she nods "Cal? Cori? Can I come in?" Mare asks "yes" Cori says and Mare comes in "honey I'm sorry for not telling you sooner but I was worried you'd hate me for leaving again" she says sitting on the couch with us "I don't like that you're leaving but dad told me why." She says and Mares eyes go wide "you know everything?" She says looking at Cori but saying it to me "most of everything, she knows who maven is and what he did to us and everyone else but she already knew the name, she over heard us talking one night" I say and she nods "I'm sorry" Cori says "for what honey" Mare says "that you had to go through that" she says and I'm shocked at what she said "you have nothing to be sorry for, im going to put an end to everything ok?" Mare says and Cori nods.
Mare POV
"Ok so your asking us to train your 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER how to use lighting?" Ella says "I leave in two days and we just found out that she had powers five days ago, she doesn't need to learn how to use it in battle just control it so she doesn't accidentally almost kill her brother again" I say and they all look nervous "you guys teach eletricons all the time why is that any different?" I continue "non of them are children, you now how I am with kids" Tyton says and I laugh "yes I remember how you where when you met Matt, but Ella, wouldn't you want the same for your daughter?" I ask and she nods "so please just on Tuesday's and Thursday's" I say and they all nod and I jump and hug them "thank you thank you thank you" I say and the hug back "But you owe us big time" Ella says "I'm going to kill maven is that not enough?"
