Along Came Feathers

Chapter six: Harbinger

Knock, knock, knock. Clementine was just waking up. Yawning as she sat up. Groaning as she ruffled her own hair. It was five in the morning! Who was knocking at the door? Clementine climbed out of bed. Making her way down stairs and to the front door. Unlocking it as she looked up at the Male wearing a trench coat. Blinking a few times. "Um... can I help you." Oliver nodded as he knelt down. "Pleasure to meet you. My name is Oliver Weiss, You must be clementine."  Clementine was trying to process what was infront of her... well, who was infront of her.

"Um. Hi?" Clem muttered as she backed up a bit and closed the door slightly. "No need to be afraid, I'm a friend of Ambers." A voice rang out. "That is a lie... isn't it?" Clementine turned around and Oliver stood up. In the darkness of the house, he saw orange glowing eyes. Those eyes began to slowly make their way to Clementine and Oliver. "Mum?" Clementine asked as she turned to look at the female within the shadows. Oliver eyes widen. "How di-did you...", Out from the shadows , The frayed hair older female smiled. "Oliver. Do think it is proper to lie to your little sister?" Oliver eyes widen and So did clementine. The Male backed up slightly. "Wa-wait... are... are you..."

The older female walked up for a clear view for Oliver. "My name is Weiss, a mythic. I've been watching every move. It has been too long, my son." Oliver felt everything hit him at once, falling upon his back. His sister. The orphanage. The streets. Gritting his teeth as his fist clenched. "YOU'RE LYING!" Weiss walked up to Oliver, crouching. Rubbing his ear as Weiss frowned. "Poor boy, I'm sorry... but you weren't the one I was looking for. You were weak. Unlike clementine." Clementine spoke up. "W-wait! If me and him are related... and you are with Ambers dad. Wouldn't Amber and Oliver be like... step siblings." Oliver felt his blood run cold and then it clicked in his head. Oliver stood up as he dusted himself off. "W... why... why..."

Weiss cut him off. "Why did I leave you?  You weren't a mythic or a successful heir to my legacy. Look at you Oliver. Hung up over some girl who left. Stalking her. Breaking the law in trying to get ONE girl. With your little group. All of you are a disappointment. When you got here, what was your plans?" Weiss asked as she got closer. "Well!? What did you plan on doing!? Black mailing a little girl!? Hurting her!? Stealing her!? Tell me Oliver!" This was to much to take in Oliver kept on stumbling back as Weiss kept up the verbal insult. "You wonder why I left you... take a look in the mirror. Want to know something else? I would do it in a heartbeat again." Tears were running down Oliver's cheeks. "Get out my way! Evie is mine!" Out came a knife, he aimed it at Weiss. Weiss eyes widen at the knife then Oliver before bursting into laughter. "Seriously? If you are about to start a war, you better be damn sure your first strike lands, boy." Weiss took a deep breath before fire escaped her mouth. Flowing and hitting the knife. It was orange hot as it melted, Oliver dropped it as Weiss gritted her teeth.

"M-mom!" Clementine muttered as she tugged on Weiss coat tails. Weiss looked down at Clementine. "Ju... just let him go. He isn't worth it." Weiss looked from Clementine to Oliver. "Get out of my sight boy, next time I see you. You'd be left to defend yourself in the worst parts of Solstice." Oliver quickly booked it as he felt his tears run down his cheeks. Breathing heavily and he ran back home. Clementine frowned, she felt sorry for him. "Mum... can we get a smoothie...?" Weiss just process what she asked. Out of everything she could have asked... she asked if she could have a smoothie. At least she wasn't Oliver. Weiss knelt down and smiled. "Of course. Want to ride on my back?" Clementine nodded. "Of course! My wings are still growing." Weiss ruffled clementines hair. "They will be big one day. Maybe even bigger than mine. Come on clementine."
