"Who is our father," Nataliya asked, her beetle black eyes widened
curiously.
Their mother, Amy, gave them a fleeting smile. "You know perfectly well who your father is."
Liliya moved closer to her twin, sensing that Nataliya was about to become agitated. "No, I know who raised us. Who sired us?"
Amy rubbed her eyes with her fingertips, "I tell you I'm going away, leaving this realm and all you can think to ask is who sired you?"
Nataliya gave her a brilliant smile, "Mother, I wish to know this, and you will tell me."
Nataliya and Liliya were twins around the age of sixteen. They were born changed and they had found that they were tapped into a power so much greater than that of Alexandra and Alessandro. Nothing in the known world could rival them, they could create a cure for any disease, and they were virtually a miracle in the eyes of anyone. But no one knew this but the twins. It would kill their father if he knew that they had found the secret to his death and kept it from him. It was better that her parents left this realm and tried to get along somewhere away from it all.
"Why don't you just tell them," came a silky voice from the doorway.
The four people turned and saw Alex standing in the room wearing a small grin. "What is the harm of telling them now?"
"Is he..." Amy faltered. "Is he well?"
Alex laughed, "You cursed him to die a painful death, remember? You brought him over knowing that he would die from one of our diseases."
Nataliya and Liliya were watching this exchange curiously yet without emotion. Amy shook her head, "I had no choice, you had someone slit his throat!"
Alex sighed, "Yes, I suppose I did. But I honestly don't know how his death went. I left only a year after he cast you out into the court yard."
Amy glared at her angrily. "So why are you here right now? To criticize my parenting because I hardly think you..."
Alex held up her hands, "No, I'm here to go with you. I obviously have had no contact with Violet since she considered you her mother, I felt no need to take on that roll. Did you keep in contact with her?"
"I couldn't," she said sadly. "I had to leave that whole world or it would have destroyed me."
Nataliya stood up suddenly, her black eyes blazing. "Who is he, I want to know, and then I want you to go."
"His name was Severus Snape and he lived in England, a while out of London at a school called...Hogwarts." Amy wouldn't reveal any more and the twins seemed satisfied.
The girls sat in the living room and watched their parents depart. They kissed the girls, professed their love for them and promised to see them again someday. The girls knew they would never see them again, and they were happy.
Their mother, Amy, gave them a fleeting smile. "You know perfectly well who your father is."
