Children of the Balance

come to me

"Lustfayette, something not right about her." I slam my door. "And you know it."

"You don't know her." He's right and I will change that.

"Do you?" He thought about it. "Have you seen her before?"

"Now that I think about it, no." I turn to him.

"You came before Michael was taken and never seen her in the house?" He looks at me.

"No." He got up and grabs my shoulder. "I'm pretty sure he wanted to make sure it was real before he brought her home."

"You right." I had another question. "How did she get passed our protection spell we put over the house?"

"She's a witch." Lustfayette stop to think. "The Balance put that protection spell over the house."

"Yes." I saw the wheels finally turning.

"She not prowerful enough to get passed it, unless." He step down on the bed. "She can't be."

"Let's get some proof before we bring it to My brothers and sister." I set next to him. Finally.

****

Lilly had cooked a big breakfast. She was happy to know she had my blessing to marry my brother. I was going to fake it as long as Michael wasn't in his right mind.

"Lilly, who taught you how to cook?" I cut into my pancakes.

"My mother." Turn to me putting more food on my plate. "She was from the south. Cooking was all she knew."

"Well that and magic." I watch her every move.

"You're right. She was a powerful witch, but revenge killed her." She was cleaning a knife. To be honest it was kind of sexy. 

"Sorry to hear that. My mother got kidnap before she could give me up to two demigods. Who now I share a body with anyway?" Lilly drops the knife. Her face went dead. Lustfayette called to his daggers. Like lighten they were by his side.

"Wow, how cool is that?" She went back to her irritated attitude. No one is that happy all the time. "Does it hurt?"

"Only the one that piss us off." I could feel everyone was waiting on our next move.

"Wow, babe the eggs are great." Michael cut the silence. Still locked eyes we leave opposite side of the room. Michael run after her. Shara and Jay after me.

"Children, I wish to be alone." They stood right next to me.

"Elrick, could you take us to the other side. We will like to see our mother." Jay voice sounded soft.

"For you two, anytime." This would take my mind off that witch. We head down to the cemetery. Shara and Jay was silent the whole time. I remember coming to the cemetery as a child. Damion would bring me here when my powers would get the best of me. I would just cry. Damion would always tell me I'll be okay.

"I can't hold us there long, but I'll hold on as long as you need." They looked over to me. They nod and we set down. They took my hands. "Now think of your mother and how much you love her."

We cross over with easy. Jay and Shara look around in amazement.  Stephanie spots them and runs to her chrildren. They run into her arms and tears feel their face Stephanie mouths the words thank you to me. 

"You are doing wonderful with her children." My aunt walks up behind me. "Damion was to hard on them. Some people need just more than an okay."

"Don't to hard on him. He's doing his best." I lean over and lay my head on her shoulder.
