"Not now Erika I have a headache"
"Immortal's don't get headaches!"
"You should still be resting" Marcus intervened trying to lead her back to her room.
"No I'm fine!"
"Lower your voice please we can talk civilly" Marcus asked her but she just ignored him
"Erika quiet and listen" Selene calmly asked
"No you shut your face and listen to me!" Erika pointed her finger right at Selene's nose. Selene's mouth dropped in complete shock she stood still stunned at what Erika had just said.
"You son is not to see my daughter is that clear, if I see him anywhere near her believe me bye the time I'm finished with him he'll be only half a man" Erika yelled in Selene's face. Marcus's eyes twitched he cringed at the horrible memory of her snap kick in the groin. Duncan came running down the hall to Marcus
"I tried to reason with her but she wouldn't listen" Duncan now that he was calm was quite happy with the relationship.
"Come one Duncan" Erika marched out leaving Selene standing in complete shock. Duncan mouthed to them after Erika's back was turned
"I'll reason again later" He disappeared around the door.
"Well that's you told" Marcus backed out the room wondering if Selene was gonna go nuts.
"That's a side of her I've never seen…" Selene blinked a few times then realized Erika will go looking for Kain and Lilly.
"Shit there in the kitchen"
"Kain and Lilly?"
"Yes, there are a lot of sharp objects in the kitchen Marcus"
"Oh" he ran after her, both of them taking the end shaft stairs to avoid running into Erika and Duncan.
Lilly was still in the kitchen with a cook when Selene and Marcus got there, Kain was in the dinning room with the mute trying to figure out his name.
"Lilly your mothers coming she knows" Selene warned her.
Lilly almost dropped the bowl she was holding
"Ah-oh…" The door burst open revealing Erika
"Lilly go to your room"
"Mum I'm not a five year old anymore you can't order me that!" Lilly screamed back at her. Marcus nodded for the cook to leave, she nodded making her quick exit running out the door past Selene
"Lilly how dare you"
"Erika she's right" Duncan intervened
"Oh don't you start"
"Erika you are tired and angry calm down and take some time to think about it" Marcus then tried to reason with her
"Shut up Marcus"
"Erika…" Selene was cut of by Erika who was standing right in her face
"Don't you start either"
"Know your place you need to cool down!!!" Marcus roared loudly and grabbed her buy the collar and dragged her into the dinning room and opened the window
"Marcus what are you doing?" Kain said watching him pick her up and hold her out in the snow.
"Cooling her off"
"Marcus put me down" Erika yelled getting over the shock. The freezing cold icy wind tore across the side of the building hitting her full blast she felt like a carcass hanging in a freezing works.
"Marcus for goodness sake she's just been in a serious accident bring her in" Selene pulled on his arm but he left her out in the wind
"Yes in which I saved her and she won't even for full my request of being reasonable!" he yelled loud enough for her to hear.
Erika was shivering
"Alright! Alright! Alright!" Erika yelled
"Are you going to be calm and listen to everyone else first?"
"Yes!" she shivered.
"Sure?"
"Marcus, bring her in before she forms icicles on her face" Selene snapped. Marcus pulled her in and closed the window and put her down in front of the fire. Duncan put a blanket over her shivering body and sat next to her while she glared at Marcus.
"Alright everyone, sit down where going to talk about this" Selene ordered sitting on the couch when Lilly and Kain sat next to her almost as protection.
Erika's glare turned from Marcus to Kain who sat next to Lilly who was between Kain and Selene. Marcus stood up between them almost ready to pounce on anyone while the mute sat quietly at the table listening. Erika almost leapt at them when Lilly took Kain's hand to hold
"Now for the second time today, we cant force them apart that is wrong they'll only go behind our backs and do it anyway and you yourself always said when they where little how sweet it would be if they ended up an item?" Selene asked her. Erika's face dropped remembering, she also remembered them hugging when they where in the safe house she knew then they would be an item she kind of knew all along but she was still angry.
"And better with Kain someone you know, not some strange human boy? Besides hybrids are more mature for their age"
"That's easy for you to say you have a son not a daughter who's life can be ruined by getting knocked up they are still so young" Erika's true calm feelings where coming though. Selene sat back understanding Erika's point of view.
"Understandable, Lilly is like a daughter to me as well and if it ever happened I will make him evenly responsible we should guide them it's the best we can do
"I suppose…" Erika gave in she knew Selene would go a lot harder on Kain and give him a good lesson if he did.
"Besides I've given him the whole sex talk ay Kain?" She smirked at him, he instantly went bright red
"I'll take you back you should sleep" Duncan took the now calm Erika back to their room.
"You're the best Selene" Lilly jumped up and gave her a hug. Then marched to the kitchen
"What are you doing in there anyway?" Kain asked
"Making you a birthday cake, it is your birthday remember"
"Oh shit" Selene slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand
"Sorry sweetie I forgot"
"It's alright mum everything happening today I understand and for all you did for me and Lilly today that matters a lot to me" He gave her a big hug. She smiled and straitened his hair brushing it with her fingers.
"I'll let you have that one" he smirked and followed Lilly into the kitchen. As soon as the door was shut she turned around to Marcus
"I'm a terrible mother" She moaned
"A terrible mother I think not, who fought though a battle and even death to give her son a future? Who to every extreme to find her son after he was taken fighting off may humans, who had her wings cut off but still saved her twins? Who is so understanding of her grown son huh?" He said smiling coming in closer and closer watching her smile grow.
"I get the point" she was almost blushing maybe she wasn't so bad after all.
"Besides it's only the afternoon we can still do something for him" Marcus grinned kissing her on the forehead.
"Tell you what I'll organize something while you have a brake" He insisted leaving her with the mute who had no idea how to write let alone tell them his name.
Once again she took a seat next to him patting him on the shoulder so she knew he was there.
"Wise Mother" he mouthed but a small dry crackle of his voice box gave some sound
"You can talk"
He nodded no mouthing damaged pointing to his throat
"You know if it is only damaged with the medicine now days and surgical methods it can be fixed" She told him his face lit up but then fell, he held up his hand and rubbed his ringers together signaling it would be costly.
"No you can have it done here, you helped us it's the least we can do" his face lit up with the biggest smiles, since eating he had more colour in his face and he no longer shook.
"Come on I will take you to Sam" she gently lead him down to Sam's office.
Kain watched Lilly mixing the contents in the bowl
"You mother still hates me" Kain moped.
"She'll get over it" She laughed pouring the large lot of mixture into a large cake tin. She almost leapt out of her skin when he put his chin on her shoulder watching what she was doing.
"We'll we don't have to hide and if anyone has a go at us I'm sure mum will have a go at them" He smirked kissing her on the cheek.
"You're lucky at least your mum is understanding I know as soon as I see my mum next she is going to let me have it… wanna swap mums?"
"Hmmm no" he tried to put his finger into the cake mix but the flicked him on the knuckles with the wooden spoon
"Ouch"
"Then keep ya dirty hands out of there"
"So I can put them somewhere else…Ouch" before he could finish his joke he got the spoon across his cheek smearing chocolate cake mix along his face.
"Great you gonna wash it off…" he stopped when she lifted the spoon.
He snatched the spoon from her hand then smeared it on her face when she tried to grab back the spoon
"Hey give it back you want me to finish your cake or not" She screwed up her face at the sticky mix he was rubbing in.
"Hmmm let me see" he licked the mix off his fingers then held the spoon up and over the back of his head, as she reached forward to grab it he quickly kissed the mix off her lips
"That's cheating" She grinned pulling away giving up reaching for the spoon
"I just wanted to prove my theory"
"What theory?"
"It tastes better on you" he grinned cheekily handing her the spoon.
She blushed a little then took the spoon and to tease as quick as a flash flicked him on the forehead sticking the mix covered spoon to his skin.
"Hmm and that's my theory, it does stick"
"…Ouch"
She smiled and pulled it off giving him a quick kiss then retrieved a new spoon from the draw.
"Now Mr. Corvin go clean yourself up I believe your parents are planning something for you" she ordered him like Selene does smirking to herself.
"Aright, as you say" he headed past the table picking up the tea towel spun it a little and flicked at her backside but the turned fast enough to catch it and pull it from his grip.
"I know you to well"
"Damn" he made a run for the door as she threatened to whip him.
"He, he, he run to mummy" She joked sliding the tray into the oven.
Later on in the evening Marcus studied the floor before entering the play room to see it there was anymore 'accidental' dropped Lego in the doorway. The twins sat on the floor in there good clean cloths for the big dinner with there presents for Kain that was covered in tape after they insisted on wrapping them themselves over a week ago.
"Come on you two time for dinner"
They picked up their presents and followed him to the larger dinning room in a different level of the castle on the third floor. It had a huge set of sunlight's and chandeliers and mass of Selene's art collection she still hadn't found out about the stain on the one in the downstairs dinning room.
Marcus stopped outside the door and faced them
"Alright there are a few new people here for goodness sake be on your best behavior no food fights"
"But Lucian started it" Saxon diverted the blame
"Well if he does it again tell me, please no arguing"
They smiled at him giving him innocent puppy eyes giving the 'I'll be on my best behavior' impression. He fooled for it each time
"Good" he opened the door and took them to their seats at the long narrow table. Not everyone had arrived yet but Saxon was quick to notice Rachael who had been invited by Selene, she said looking around obviously feeling out of place knowing no one.
"There's the woman I told you about from that place" Saxon whispered to Sophia who waved to Rachael as soon as she spotted them. Rachael gave a smile seeing the two but said nothing as she was a few seats away. Rachael was relieved when Elaine sat next to her and started up a conversation then introduced her to Julian, Kahn and Harmony who sat across from them. The mute was sat silent next to Soren who sat on the other side of Rachael he was becoming uncomfortable since she kept looking at him, he was always nervous around women. Marcus had been careful where to sit everyone, he had to sit Viktor near the twins away from Lucian and Michael and had to sit Erika at a distance from Kain.
Selene and Kain stood out in the hall when Michael not missing attending his son's birthday for the first time tidied himself up but stopped hearing Selene mention his name before turning the corner into view.
"This will be the first year we don't go" Kain said rubbing his chin
"Well he's here now it's what you wanted right"
"Yeah…"
"You don't sound happy about it"
"Well from what you told me about him he doesn't seem the same person"
"No he isn't death changes people, remember he was pulled out of his world so suddenly then died and placed in this one it will be difficult for him he has inner demons to face give him some time, he'll come around wont you Michael" She turned to the corner where he hid listening she knew he was there from the very beginning. Michael stepped out looking guilty
"I heard my name mentioned that's all"
"It's alright Kain and I usually visit your grave on his birthday"
Michael's face softened they did think about him even after all these years they even visited his grave in a strange manor it was touching.
"Well you don't need to now" Michael smiled walking over to them.
"Hey Kain!" a familiar voice came from down the hall.
They all turned to see Rick and his family walking toward him
"Rick what are you doing here?"
"We where already here, thought we'd wait and surprise you"
"But I told you to stay now they know who you are"
"Kain they already knew they came for us but dad shot out their truck tires with the shotgun then acted like a lunatic scaring them" Rick explained his father giving a smirk. His father was a paraplegic using two leg devices to walk but most the time he sat in his wheelchair. Kain helped Rick on his farm since Ricks father couldn't do much he had lost his legs in a car accident that took Ricks mother's life when he was ten leaving his father paraplegic fending for two children, Rick and his baby sister who was almost the same age as the twins.
"So we came here and they've let us stay in the guest quarters on the other side of the castle" Rick explained
"We'll at lest your alright you can stay till this mess is over" Selene welcomed them she did not like turning anyone away from losing her family she welcomed them in a way making her family bigger.
They made there way into the hall that now everyone had arrived and to both Selene and Marcus's surprise the evening went incredibly well until Duncan made a slip of the tongue when he was talking to Michael about Kain's birth accidentally letting out Kraven and Marcus taking Kain Duncan and Erika where the only ones that knew about it.
Oh man I had the fright of my life this morning I felt something tickling my face as I woke up, I flicked it off and it was a bloody big spider, and I'm aracnophopic!
