The Story of Family (Book 1)

Chapter 6 Before Hell Breaks Loose

Earlier

      Seth walks Steel to her bedroom so she can change out of her bloody school clothes. He opens the door letting her in, when she walks in he follows and shuts the door going to her dresser and opening it, "what do you want to wear Steel? A dress? Shorts and shirt? Pants?", he questions and looks at her, she looks at him thinking for a minute before speaking "Shirt, shorts and a sweater!," she says while smiling. Seth nods getting out the clothes and walks over and sets them down and her with her bloody clothes and points to the bathroom in her room, "Bath", she nods and goes to take a bath, filling up the tub she climbs in before as its filling up. Seth walks in and puts bubbles in the bath for her as it's filling and shuts it off when it's full enough. Steel smiles and laughs, "Yay! Bubble bath!!", she cheers as he chuckles and cleans the blood off her hands and some off her face noticing the bruises, "Well Steel looks like you've got yourself a black eye and some bruises on you", he says as he cleans her. She frowns and looks up at him, "Is that a bad thing big brother?", she asks nervous. Seth smiles and shakes his head, "No it's not all that bad it just a shame your beautiful face is all beat up, but it will heal I promise", he smiles and puts shampoos in his hand before he cleans her hair to rid it of dirt and grime. After washing her hair he rinses it out making sure there's no dirt, grime or blood left behind. He also remembers he has to hurry so him and Lavender can get home to eat. He continues to clean his sister before she's completely clean and pulls her out wrapping a clean towel around her before draining the tub. He cleans his hands before helping her dry off. Steel smiles up at him as he dries her hair and grabs the towel and covers her eyes with it, Seth gasps, "Oh no! Steel disappeared! I wonder where she is?!", he smirks looking through the cabinets and small closet in the bathroom, "Not there either, hmmm could she be hiding under this purple towel right hear?!", he's smirk grows and uncovers her and she gasps with a giggle as he chuckles and finishes drying her off and helps her get dressed before they walk into her room. Steel wiggles herself onto her bed and sits on it while Seth grabs a brush and gently brushes the knots out of her hair and ties a ribbon in it that holds her hair up in a ponytail before tying it in a bow.
      He walks down the hall after getting her ready and watches her run around. He smiles and notices her trip but catch herself, "Be careful Steel your already covered in bruises you don't need any more", he lets out a small chuckle seeing her pout but gently takes her hand and walks her to the throne room. Once the two arrive they noticed Ariel isn't there anymore but Azazel and Lavender are. The male seems to be doing important work while the female seems to just be sitting there watching him while waiting for said blonde. Seth sneaks over and grabs her while yelling 'BOO!!!' In her ear. Said female jumps to her feet screaming and spins around punching the male though she'd like to punch him in the face he's sadly to tall about 6 or more feet tall. Steel giggles and runs over to them and runs around them before going to her dad and hugs him. Seth lets out a loud laugh at his girlfriend before quickly grabbing her hand as she goes to hit him again. He smirks shaking his head, "uh uh uh my little queen, do you remember the last time you hit me?", he smirks as she blushes while glaring at him and pulls her arm away and makes a portal and huffs before walking through with him.

Present Time

       Lavender thinking of what happened earlier  had seriously thought of poisoning her boyfriends food. She sits at the table  with the two males and eats with them, she'll never admit it but Seth's cooking is a lot better than hers. Seth and Akela eat while talking to each other. Lavender starts to get lost in her thoughts while staring at the gorgeous blonde in front of her with his piercing ocean blue eyes that she gets lost in every time she looks at them. She hadn't noticed him looking at her until he snaps his fingers in front of her face causing her to blink. Seth was happily chatting with his wolf companion until he noticed a certain female staring at him, he tries calling out to her until he frowns and snaps his fingers in front of her face making her snap out of it. He sighs once he gets her attention, "Geez Lav I thought you'd never come out of your daydream, what were you thinking about? You had this weird creepy smile on your face", he says smirking knowing she didn't. Lavender puffs out her cheeks and points a finger at him, "Seth you know damn well that's a lie!!", she yells at him. They bicker for a few minutes before finishing their food. Lavender gets up and goes to the sink, cleaning the dishes while Akela goes off somewhere after thanking her for the food. Seth gets up after the male is gone completely as he hears the door open and shut, he wraps his arms around her and buries his head in the crook of her neck kissing it, she lets out a gasp of surprise when he wraps his arms around her and lets out a small moan when he goes for her sensitive neck. Seth smirks hearing the moan and brings his head up to her ear and whispers in a seductive tone, "There's no need to worry about that now Lav....come with me....", he smirks taking the dishes from her hands and places them back in the sink and grabs her hands gently and leading her to their bedroom.
       Seth kisses her and lays her down on the bed and lets his hands roam her body before moving his face to the crook of  her neck. He hears her moan and before he continues he hears a knock on his door, Lavender huffs in frustration as he chuckles and gets up heading out of the room and goes downstairs to the door. He realizes he forgot his shirt and shrugs not thinking it's anyone important, he opens the door to see a certain male at his door. Seth raises a brow at the male before speaking, "Ace? What are you doing here?", he asks as Ace takes a minute to respond, "Well...you are the oldest out of you and your siblings I just wanted to ask if you could help me ask Kali out on a date?", he questions not knowing how the blonde will react. Seth stares at him for a minute a bit surprised by the mans question, "So you like my sister and want to take her on a date am I right?", he questions getting a nod from said male, "Ok I'll help you just let me grab a shirt", Ace nods and Seth walks off for about 10 minutes before coming down with his girlfriend and looks at the black haired male, "Lets go get your ass kicked again", he smirks and leaves with the 3 after locking the door behind them.         Seth gets a message from his parents asking him to watch Steel so he leaves and returns to the two with the small child on his shoulders. Seth nods for them to follow and heads off into the forest to find a certain blonde female.
      As the 3 walk through the forest Steel points at the animals and Seth smiles at her and pokes her sides making her giggle and hug him. Lavender smiles at the scene before her and grabs Seth's hand as they are walking, Ace follows close behind. Seth leads them to a river connected to a waterfall and looks up and down the river until he hears something in the distance like someone climbing out of the water. He heads down the river side and finds a certain blonde ringing out her hair and shaking it before fixing her now slightly damp clothes and stretches. She turns around hearing footsteps and notices the 4 standing there and raises a brow, "Uh can I help you brother?", she asks tilting her head confused as to why they are here, 'Thorn promised not to tell Seth about what had happened but did he?', she thinks before she hears her brother talk, "Hey sis so Ace here has a question for you", he motions to said male. Kali turns her attention to Ace and looks at him questioningly waiting for him to speak, "Uh...um well....so I wanted to know if you'd like to go on a date with me?", he asks nervously and looks at her. She listens to his words and the tone of his voice because she can't see him duh! So she pays attention to his nervous tone and smiles at him, "So.....you want to go on a date with me huh?", she asks and he replies with a quiet 'yes', she smiles at him and walks up to him and stares him in the eyes, well then I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?", she asks with a beautiful smile on her face. He nods but remembers she's blind, "Uh y-yeah! Tomorrow sounds great! At noon?", he smiles at her. She lets a small grin spread across her face, "Noon it is...don't be late", she grins before walking off after saying bye to the other 3. At that moment realization hits him and a smile spreads across his face, "She said yes!!!", he exclaims happily. Seth chuckles at the male and pats his back, "Hey we'll come with you I was planning to take Lav on a date tomorrow anyway", he says getting a nod from the other male before they part ways. None of them knowing of the destruction that's to come the next day.
