WITHOUT

He Dosen't Like This!

"No! No, no, no. Nooooooo! I have never heard of any thing sooo ridiculous! This is not an answer, or a decision to be made.." Star stood from her chair. "Supreme or not! You denied me that creature EB. You have not allowed this coven as a whole, access to any of those creatures! You, are to give us them!.." Star was pulled to a sitting position again. Jefferson tried to quieten her down. No spell was working!

All eyes were on me, I just took a sip of my table wine. I was not going to change my mind on this, the more Star kept talking the more I sensed she had been talking against me. To whom, I had no idea.

~•£€¥•~

She'd wanted EB the moment, she'd first laid eyes on her. Plus. Star hadn't ever really wanted me as a Supreme. In her eyes, I lacked what Scarlett and Briar held.

When I was first named, we hadn't ironed out the usual issues, that come after being chosen. The "Pecking-order" as my mother used to call it - "Who's the Boss!". I had appeared as the True Blood Witch that I was, and with Scarlett and Bria not being in the picture - There was me. We the mansion were only just realising EB might have a touch of Briar (Star wanted that in her grasp)

I had not sort the advice, or general agreement of my coven in creating a court for Ethan. I had not spoken with them, we hadn't made a "group-choice". I had a right to say what I liked, they as a rule had to listen. But, I hadn't given a "pre" to "This is what I had in mind!"     Ethan was to be "contained" - The afternoon was about that. See, judge. Contain.    I had given my "These are the children..." part.     All had admired them (In a distant-kind of way)

There was murmurs, I was "side-tracking" everyone. Changing the topic.

Fern didn't want any one touching Pixie.   The child stayed within her arms.     Hector intrigued all, all over again.     We had made the decision to keep "discussing". Some felt that today was the day. And we could have avoided if possible, to not have another discussion tomorrow.   But, Star couldn't let certain topics go, she completely disagreed to a section of the mansion being out of bounds.   I was to leave/give all to my coven.

Mother, father (Even Mr Reed) knew I would do this (Or something very similar)   Ethan was mine. I was his.     Of course, this would be my thinking.       Fern and Abby tried to comment (Privately - They had a safe haven for Hector and Pixie. Their plan was to take Hector, and Pixie)    I nodded, I understood. But, said no.

If I was going to lock Ethan away, he needed friends. EB was already loyal to him. I knew Hector would do as he was told, he wouldn't know any different. Hector wouldn't see this as a punishment (He was loyal to Ethan as well) While talking to Abby, the fairy made a point of touching my arm as she spoke. Her voice was calm, but firm - Hector and Pixie were to be their's and were to leave with them.

I saw trouble. Plain and simple. Abby was meant to marry another. Pixie was too rare to be around arguing fairy tribes. Her people had been wiped out. I took Abby's hand..."Your father will force his choice..." I turned to Fern..."Pixie will be taken from you.." Fern glared at me, but then bit her bottom lip (She knew it was true. Both outcomes on their return) They would see their home again, but not at the moment.

I cleared the room (Sent them all to the formal living room on the ground floor) There was a moment of silence, a shuffled movement. No one was entirely happy with what I was doing. Star had to be dragged out, down the hallways she could be heard saying - I hadn't heard the last of this!
