Love The Void (Palaye Royale - Book 2)

Chapter 14

Okay listen, at this point I dont remember if I gave Elizabeth distinct features so I'm winging it cause I tried to go through book one to find it and came up with zilch so. =)

Shock in his gaze, Sebastian asks the man to come in. Taking in his appearance as he passes, Sebastian's eyes immediately zero in on their resemblances. The almond shape of their eyes, same shade of dark blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, the sharp jawline and the button nose. He looks nearly identical but is obviously years younger, a human like she is but not immortal.

Leading the man to Andrew's kitchen, Emerson and Asteria come out of the bathroom with the blood washed from their hands, curiosity in their stares. The man looks at them curiously too, until his green gaze lands on the sleeping girl, his sister (though she isn't as old as he thought she'd be. He shouldn't be surprised, perhaps she's a vampire now), holding the hand of a man he recognizes from one of the files he found, and cuddled against a different man he recognized only due to his musician status. Eyes narrowed in protective suspicion, he glances warily at the sleeping trio on the couch and the duo eyeing him from the hallway.

"So, you say you're her brother then? *Derexi hense." Sebastian starts, unsurely, a gold glow emitting from his sky eyes as he places a silencing spell around the room.

Nervously, the eldest vampire looks over to the girl he sees as his sister in everything but blood. She sleeps as peacefully as one would expect, pain seemingly unnoticeable in her sleep unlike the night before, only due to the presence of her soulmates. He wonders how she'll take the news of her brother coming to find her. Not good, most likely.

"Yes, I've even got hers and my birth certificate to prove it." He pulls out a bundle of files from his messenger bag, sifting through papers until he finds the two he's looking for.

Elliot hands them over to the vampire whose murky blue eyes shine in calculation as he looks the forms over. He isn't lying. At least, the papers aren't. These could be forged.

Still unconvinced, Sebastian looks to the young man again with a pointed look. In response, the male simply lays the files on the counter, sliding them over to the opposite side for the vampire-warlock to look at.

He opens the files, the gloss of the folder keeping it somewhat protected. The papers inside are old, easily identifiable through the browning edges of the short stack of forms. The first page simply states in large, blocked letters,

The next holds a few pictures and basic information. Its Elizabeth throughout her childhood, though the most recent picture they'd had of her seemed to be when she'd turned twenty or so, in her late teens. She didn't look much different from when they'd met her (cough kidnapped cough). There was a fire in her eyes throughout all of the photos, a resilience in her gaze that holds strong even now. Yet, the most prominent thing in her gaze was kindnss. Sebastian realizes that in all of the photos, like her resilience, it never left. It grew stronger and stronger in the face of cruelty and hate, the opposite of what anyone would have expected.
