"What could I possibly say to help you? After all you've tricked me and play with my heart! Why on earth should I help you?" Alviva pouted, Acting as though she was the most innocent thing on the planet, Amity stood behind us ,peaking between our arms. I can see why Amity would be scared of her mother and try to earn her approval. Alviva had never really sent me such a cold look, personally anyway . She had sent me cold looks and hateful looks but never one filled with such loathing as i was experiencing right now. She had given up leaning forward and slouched back in the chair. If she didn't have her arms tied then they would definitely be crossed at the moment.

"Miss Alviva, you haven't changed one bit." Mused Emily with a small smile . I had raised my eyebrow a little bit at this, I knew that Emily was aware of Alviva for a while but I didn't know how familiar she was. Alviva didn't usually let her true self be shown , or this version of herself. I'm honestly not sure what Alviva is truly like anymore. She yearns for love but when she is given the love of a daughter she throws it away because it's not enough. She gets so angry when she doesn't get what she wants then she throws a temper tantrum and starts cursing those who have little to do with her problems.

"Ah Emiliana , it's been a long while....how's the kids?" Alviva asked cheekily, a playful evil coming to her eyes and a sugary sweet grin on her face. I am sure that we're missing something , with a glance to the right and back of me i noticed that Alaric and Amity were just as confused as I was. Emily gave a frustrated and outraged grunt which seemed to be her way of suppressing shouting and screaming at Alviva's comment.

I decided at that moment to interrupt before anger could get out of control "Alviva..." I started which caused her face to go almost blank when she turned her head to me. It was rather spooky, almost as creepy as seeing two of myself in the mirror. The very stoic expression was worse then her anger or lovey-dovey looks that she would send from time to time. "You obviously know why you're here...no need to act surprise. Now we just need to know if you'll answer them willingly or not..."

Alviva narrowed her eyes at me and cackled "What are you going to do to me chester?! you're a gentleman, someone could slap you right in the face and laugh but you'd apolagise for the inconvenience!" In response i raised an eyebrow and shrugged, yes that does seem like something that I would do . There is nothing wrong with being somewhat passive . I would apolagise for whatever made them mad enough to feel the need to go up to a random person and slap them. I can't help the way I was brought up, after all these years i've learnt that it's better to be polite.

"Yeah I very much agree with you, you have excellent perception skills, I applaud you...however i'm not the only person here who has a negative disposition towards you." I stated as I moved out of the way so that Amity and Alaric were in full view and taking centre stage. The plan as I know has been put into action. I joined Emily behind Alviva, just so that alaric and amity were the main focus of the conversation .

Alaric cracked his knuckles and gave a big somewhat menacing grin "Hmm what an understatement." I was watching Alviva's back and I could see her hands shaking in the ropes . "Alviva , Alviva, Alviva...Please tell me and your daughter that what we know is wrong...please tell us that all of this-" Alaric gestured all around us , to the walls with protection spells on them and the circle of fire surrounding Alviva "is not all because you were spiteful."

Alviva huffed and leaned her head back, so far as she could see me from where she was sat. She didn't look any less irritated upside down then she did right side up. She probably would have stayed like that if Amity had not walked closer to the fire and said pleadingly "Mother please, just tell us why this all started and we can go. We can live happily . We can all leave, you me and Alaric, we can forget about Chester and live a happy life."

She must have said something incredibly wrong, If I thought that Alviva's hands were shaking before then her body was experiencing an earthquake. Her entire body was shaking and i could practically see steam coming off her, actually no i could see steam coming off her. She was using her magic to channel the fire...That won't end too well for her but I'm not going to stop her. "HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT IS WHAT I WANT?! THE ONLY REASON THAT YOU WERE BORN , THE WHOLE REASON FOR YOUR VERY EXISTANCE IS BECAUSE OF CHESTER!" Alviva roared.

That caused many heads to swing in my direction to which i raised my hands "no, no, no get that thought out of your minds. All of you. There is literally no wat I am Amity's father... " I was one hundred per cent sure that I would know if i had a daughter, that requires things that i would not do in my greatest nightmares. Such as getting close to the woman .

"pft of course not you were too stubborn. The only reason you are here is because i needed someone to fill the hole that Chester created in my heart and it turns out your father was the answer. Though he was nothing like chester ." Her voice filled with sadness at the end , it almost made me feel sorry for her. this raw emotion was what I read about in the book that Alaric had written. From the corner of my eye I saw Maddox coming down the stairs, Emily's book in hand. He tiptoed over to Emily and started to point at random things on the page.

Emily was nodding along with whatever Maddox was pointing at . I was still confused until I remembered. They had a bet! My eyes widened as I went behind Maddox, holding his hand and reading the book that was open in front of them. The bed was about the plan. Emily didn't tell us what spell she planned to use and Maddox had said that he wanted to guess what spell it was.

There was a few moments of silence between Maddox , Emily and I. I was trying to ignore the Lootice family drama but it was rather difficult with all the shouting and hateful words. Before Amity had the chance to start tearing her hair out in frustration and anger Emily started to mutter the words on the page. I had now found out that the words are all the same , they're just written in different languages. This current spell I had no idea what it included. The chanting grew louder as my attention was drawn to Alviva. Whom started to move , jerking right to left , before she went completely still. Dead still.
