Gold Lights

Chapter 7

3000 years later.

The boys are now 6 years and two months old.

A few hundred years ago, Rayvon developed a stutter.

Truth be told, Vinny was upset about this. He didn't want his son to think that he was anything less than perfect which is what he thought about himself when he was little.

They got Rayvon a speech therapist who he has been seeing for a while. His stutter hasn't got worse but it hasn't got better.

Luka tries to help him say things and for a six-year-old, he has the patience of a saint.

He can now control his wings and put them away whenever he wants. They still appear uncontrollably when he experiences a big change of emotion, but that still happens for Panuleon.

His eyes are still very extraordinary but other kids proceed to call them weird and look at him differently.

Corey has heard Rayvon say that they are like magic and Luka smiled for the rest of the afternoon.

He has learned how to put his fangs away but has a lot of pleasure in scaring other kids with them. But Luka never gets scared.

It is currently three in the afternoon and the kids are getting tutored at a local school.

They go once every two weeks because their lives are very long and it makes more sense for them to learn things as their brains develop.

Vinny and Oliver were standing outside with Jed, waiting for them.

Corey and Panuleon take it in turns with them and today was the Vanderwood day to pick up the kids.

The other parents tried to stay calm when they saw the couple but it was still very exciting to have them here.

Vinny didn't care about private schools and such, this school was two minutes drive from the mansion and it offered just as good education.

Rayvon and Luka were sitting together at a table as they listened to the teacher.

The school was almost finished for the day and they were unbelievably bored.

During school, they stay with each other and play with each other at break times and lunch. The teachers never try and make them mingle with other kids, they're too scared of upsetting them and getting in trouble with the Vanderwood's.

Other kids are mostly too nervous to approach them anyway.

Suddenly, the bell rang, indicating the end of school.

Rayvon shoved everything into his bag, even Luka's stuff but he was just desperate to get home.

He looked like the best-dressed kid by far. He had black jeans, a red shirt and a grey waistcoat on.

Vinny and Oliver thought he looked adorable.

Luka had beige jeans on with a t-shirt and a jumper with three buttons at the top.

He took his bag but he lifted it upside down and everything fell out.

"Luka!" Rayvon chuckled as they got on their hands and knees to pick it up.

They both laughed and talked about what they wanted to do when they got home, which was spend all night in the swimming pool but their parents would never allow it.

"I bet I can hold my breath for longer than you" Luka grinned before standing up and zipping his bag shut and slinging it over his shoulders.

"N-no way," Rayvon said and gave him a friendly shove before they raced each other to the door.
