"I regret failing my children. I allowed them to grow up as weak-minded fools without the strength to make hard decisions." She paused and looked at Ian. "They'll never amount to anything"
"That's where your wrong," Natalie said. Everyone went silent, she hadn't spoken since her arrival. "We're already more then you can ever hope to be. We are not weak-minded, you are. You say we can't make hard decisions, again, that's false, you are the one that can't. Choosing love over power, that hard. But you chose power over love, that's easy. You always pushed us to be the best. Now I see that what you think is the best is the lowest of the lowe.
"We're your children, but you never loved us. You just thought of us as servants. And here's the sick thing, I loved you. You were the person I wanted to be most in the world. And even sicker, I knew what you were. I knew you were a murder, but you brainwashed me so well I wanted to be like you.
"Ian and I have two things that you never will, love and a future. You've already given up the second, but there still is a way to get the first. However, I know you never will because that one way is to regret what you did. Regret it with everything you are. I'm not just talking about Hope and Author, but what you did to me and Ian. You robed us. You robed us of a family. The only good thing you ever did was get caught before it was to late for us, so for that, thank you. For everything else screw you," Natalie walked off the steps and started to head down the street.
Ian smiled, "I love my sister, ditto to her." He began following Natalie who had stopped to wait for him.
"You are dead to me," Isabel said with the scauple.
Because they didn't let it, the scauple didn't effect ether of them, but they paused anyway. "You know," Natalie began, "that just might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Tootles," then her and Ian continued to walk out of her life, and into theirs.
