TJ had begun to notice the strange behaviour of his sister over the last 3 months and needless to say, he was worried. This was not her normal behaviour and surely the rest of their friends had noticed this too.

Leah's appearance had changed, it seemed almost darker. She would close herself off and appeared to be very cold towards people as well as the sudden short temper which made her snap and get into heated arguments.

He frowned to himself as he drove to school. He had been in her line of fire this morning when he had casually asked her if she was ready for school resulting in an argument between them.

The warlock didn't know what the hell was going on with his twin but he sure as hell was going to get to the bottom of it.

It had been over 15 minutes since TJ had left which Leah was more than grateful for. As she began making her way upstairs, the sound of the doorbell ringing made her pause and she turned, making her way over to the door.

She opened it to find Liam and folded her arms as he looked at her appearance, the young witch dressed in nothing more but a pair of sweatpants, a tank top and a pair of sneakers.

"You ready for school?" The werewolf asked slowly.

"Oh." Leah replied with a casual shrug and a smile. "I'm not going." She said and began to close the door when Liam caught it.

"Not going?" He repeated. "Leah, you can't just--"

And that was when they both found themselves in a heated argument. "I am not your damn responsibility!" She yelled.

"No." Liam replied calmly. "But you are my friend."

The witch scoffed with a roll of her eyes and moved away from him but the werewolf grabbed hold of her arm which was when Leah spun around to him and sent pain throughout his body.

Liam gripped his head as he yelled in pain, bringing a smirk to Leah's face. "You all need to stop trying to control me." She said.

"I am helping you.." The wolf gritted out in pain as he held his head.

"Leah!" Derek's voice boomed. "Stop." He ordered.

The young witch turned to him with a fierce glare. "Men are infuriating." She said and walked off without a care.

The warlock frowned as he watched his daughter's figure disappear before he made a move to help the werewolf to his feet.

"Perhaps we should talk.." Liam suggested softly making the warlock nod.

She made her way through the forest as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks

She made her way through the forest as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She sniffled softly and wiped it away before a figure came into view.

"Leah.."

She rolled her eyes as she looked at Raphael. "So much for space." She said. "Can't you just leave me alone? You're so good at doing that." She said and made a move past him.

"Leah, please." He begged, making her stop to look at him. "I've tried to give you the distance you want for the past week but it hurts. I love you more than anything but being away from you is killing me slowly."

She stared at him silently, noticing the pain in his eyes and voice before she slowly made her way towards him. He stared at her approaching figure, unsure of whether he should hold her or kiss her. Maybe both.

But it was Leah who made the first move by gently placing her hand against his cheek before she leaned in, giving him a soft kiss.

He peered down at her as she smiled softly at him. "I am so sorry for hurting you as deeply as I did, amore." He began as she buried her face into his neck, inhaling his scent. "I will never forgive myself--"

"Shh.." She cooed softly. "It's over." She whispered, stroking his cheek lightly.
