Her House, My Rules

Chapter 65

Lionland- December 12, 1958.  (Based on past events)

"Aunt Eva? Where are we going?" Christian Hills asked, desperately. "What about my mom?" Tears melted in his eyes as Evana tried to console him with lies.

"Mommy is coming soon." She lied. "Christian? I want you to forget about Lionland. Don't talk about it with anyone. You're about to be a normal teenager. You came from an awful place. Your grandpa doesn't love you. He wants to kill us." Eva told him the truth. "Repeat after me: Minun tehtäväni on palvella Hulionsia." My job is to serve Hulions.

Christian Obeyed.

"What does that mean, Aunt Eva?" He asked, curiously. "I don't speak Finnish."

"Your job is to serve Hulions." She translated. "Your grandpa brainwashed you. You're a good boy and you're going to be a great man by my side."

"You're lying." He yelled. "Mommy told you to leave me on the side of the road. I heard everything. My job is to destroy Hulions. My grandpa told me I was special to Lionland. My blood is the poison, right? I can kill Hulions." 

Evana was shocked by the news. That was Kara's secret. She knew it all along. She knew that her father was training him to be the opposite of what she expected. Kara was Half Hulion. She was Eva's step-sister. Her mother Ana Hudson cheated on her father, and that was the only reason why the first rule was created in the first place and Ana Hudson had no other choice but to create a prophecy by magic, according to her dear mistake. 

May He/she never sleeps with a normal man/woman between his/ her sheets.

Ana Hudson never thought that it was possible to be pregnant by a Gold Lion. She hated her husband and decided to forbid Hulions to sleep with humans.

That was her first curse.

"Your grandpa lied to you." Eva tried to wash the truth away from his mind. "You're only twelve years old, Christian." She stated. "It's not too late to be a better man. I want you to remember that your mom loves you and she chose to set us free."

"My mom is dead." He replied. "When you break Lionland's rules, the only punishment is death." His tone was harsh and sincere. "I'll try to be on your side. I'll try to help Hulions but I can't promise you that It's going to be easy. My blood is dangerous to Hulions. I'm trying to protect this baby inside of you." He sighed. "Grandpa is coming for her. She's my only duty."

"Thank you so much, Christian."

"I'll do it but on one condition." He offered. "I want to read the prophecy that my mom gave you."

"It's written in Finnish."

"Then you'll read it for me."

"Only an Hulion can."

"I'm part Hulion."

"A real Hulion." She corrected herself. "You need to have it in your blood."

"Hand me the letter, then." He insisted. "If you want to protect your daughter. If you don't want her to destroy the world after her twenty-one years. Then hand it to me and I'll trust you."

"How do you know about her unknown gender?"

"It's just a feeling, Aunt Eva" He smiled. "I want to test your loyalty."

"I'll give it to you but if anything happens to me, I want you to poison her blood before she turns twenty-one."

"Do you want me to kill her?"
