Everlasting Curse

Chapter Seven- Visiting The Past

  "Alright, what should we share to move onto the next one??" Juliette asked once they sit down inside their house.

"How about our relationships with our family??" Wes suggested.

"Well, my dad died when I was younger. I love my mom to pieces though. My grandparents are both extremely nice, and I love them too. I'm also an only child." Leo smiled, looking to Hazel.

"I absolutely love my parents. They're so understanding and kind. I really miss them. I never really got to see my grandparents often, and my little sister and older brother live with them." Hazel gives Leo a smile back, before turning to Wes and Hale.

"Our dad could care less what we do, as long as we tell them beforehand, and the only siblings we have are each other." Wes answers swiftly, looking towards Juliette.

"My mom died when I was seven. I have no siblings, and my dad and I have a love-hate relationship. I love him, I really do, but he's always getting married to some random woman. He's gotten married ten different times since mom died." Juliette explained bitterly, glaring at nothing and everything.

  Hale carefully puts a hand on Juliette's shoulder, causing the girl to go pink. Hazel and Wes raise their eyebrows at Hale and Juliette, and Leo chuckled. Thea shifts her gaze so that she's looking out the window.

"You two missed it, these two were kissing up a storm in the kitchen. They probably would have gone further if Thea and I weren't there!!" Leo exclaims, causing Wes and Hazel to laugh.

"Can it, Leo!! Thea, you haven't said anything. You doing okay?" Hale asks, trying to make it seem like he wasn't concerned while also trying to change the subject.

"M'fine. I'm an only child, and I love my mom." Thea mutters looking down at her lap.

"What about your dad?" Juliette asks, hesitantly.

"I hate him." Thea answers simply.

  Hazel suddenly yawned, followed by Hale. Soon enough, they were all struggling to stay awake. Thea watched as the others fell asleep, before letting the darkness consume her.

  Thea woke up with heat surrounding her. She groaned and sat up, looking around the now red room. Her face paled as she whipped her head around. She stared at the familiar walls that haunted her memories. She vaulted herself out of the bed, pulling her door open. A girl that looked to be Thea's age stood in front of her. The girl had red skin and dark ebony hair, with matching eyes. She gave Thea a smile.

"It's good to see you awake, princess!! Your father is waiting for you in the living quarters." The young girl bowed slightly, before turning and walking down the hall.

  Thea stared at the girls retreating figure, before going down the opposite direction. As she walked down the hallway, she couldn't help but wonder where the others were.

'They could be at the house, looking for me. They could think that I died. They could also be here, huddled in a corner because of my father.' Thea thought, a shiver running down her spine at the latter.

  Once she made it to the living room, she carelessly opened the door. She stared, eyes wide and mouth open once she saw her friends sitting with the man she despised most.

"Thea? My darling little girl? Is that you?" The man asked, standing up quickly.

  Thea stared at him, before turning around and walking away quickly. She glared at anyone or anything in front of her, young servants squeaking in fear at the sight of her.

"Thea, wait!!" Thea heard Hazel call after her, but she didn't stop.

  Thea stomped on, before someone pulled her back. She whipped her head around, glaring at whoever stopped her from leaving. Her glare softened once she saw Hazel.
