Author's Note: This chapter took a very long time to finish since it was a completely different than I planned it to be. It was gonna be that Diana went to John's apartment to see if he'll come back but Diana is nothing like that so I had to write half of the chapter over. Romulus and Remus are nine years old in this chapter.
"Come you two, we're going out for a little while. I have to go to the Ministry." Diana told the boys.
"Give me that back Romulus!" yelled Remus. It happened to be a book that Romulus wasn't giving back to Remus. "Mum do we have to go?"
"No." Romulus teased him by holding the book beyond Remus' reach. Romulus was a lot taller than him and used that toward his advantage.
"Both of you stop!" Diana took the book out of Romulus' hand and gave it back to Remus. "Yes we do have to go." She answered Remus' question
Diana was standing at the office door of John Wexler's office. She came here every so often to see what happened to Rachel, but every time she came there would be trace of her. Usually she asked one of John's friends but this time she had to talk to the man she once loved which seemed like another life ago.
She knocked on the door hoping he wasn't there.
"Oi, what do you want?" John asked her annoyed.
"Dad!" Romulus exclaimed. Joseph actually hugged Romulus. John wasn't Romulus' dad but called him that anyway.
"Hi Dad,'' Remus said quietly wanting to hide someplace. Like behind the big plant in John's office.
"Do you have any idea--" Diana started to say but John cut her off
"Rachel is dead Diana. Get that through your thick skull." John said harshly and didn't sound like the John she once knew. "I thought you got rid of this filth." He pointed to Remus. "Don't call me dad you wild animal." John exclaimed looking like he wanted to hit him.
"I'm not a wild animal!" Remus yelled which surprised Diana.
"Yes you are. You not human. Humans don't go mad by getting hit by the moonlight."
"John I didn't come here so you can make fun of Remus. I wanted to see if -" Diana tried to explain.
"Don't even ask if I'll come back. If that filth is still there I'll never come back! And Rachel is dead. She starved herself. She was a stupid as you are." John bellowed.
Then very quickly John grabbed Remus' arm tightly and close by him had a gun with a sliver bullet and grabbed it with his free hand.
"YOU'RE MAD! HOW DARE YOU. YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Diana yelled. She took the kids and left John's office quickly
"He said to me he'll always love me and be on my side. What bull! Why, didn't I listen to Athena? He's a jerk just like Romulus!" Diana thought. They were back atTwelve Lunar Drive for a while. She wanted to eavesdrop on Romulus and Remus to observe something.
Romulus and Remus were in their shared room talking.
"...'cause of you dad left and Rachel was taken away." Romulus yelled at his cousin
"It couldn't have been my entire fault." said Remus
"Yes it was! You're just filth!" Romulus yelled at his cousin.
"This stinks. Romulus is out of my control." thought Diana.
Diana walked in their room.
"Romulus, may I speak to you for a sec?" Diana asked the boy in a soft motherly tone.
"Sure." Romulus walked away from Remus giving him a murderous look.
The two walked into one of the many empty rooms. Why in all the places John left me in a mansion I can't afford. Diana always thought.
"You have to start behaving Romulus. You shouldn't hurt Remus like that." scolded Diana.
"You don't know what I'm going through. You should see me at school. I'm an outcast because of him. They think he's different and that 's what they think of me too and that's wrong." Romulus told his aunt.
"So why should I care." Diana almost said.
"That's not the point, treat your cousin better." said Diana curtly
"You know this for a fact Aunt Diana; it is Remus' fault that Rachel was taken away." Romulus told Diana in a fresh tone. "And it's true that he ruined our lives. You should have put him down when you had the chance." One of the first times he called her Aunt and that's what he called her from now on.
He knew he touched a nerve in his aunt. Everyday Diana thought about Rachel and where she was. She tried her best to find her, but John said Rachel was dead. A thought that she didn't want to believe. She hated that Romulus told what she should have done. She has never regretted not putting Remus down, never. This annoying kid was just making life worse.
"Just go." She almost yelled at the brat. And when he left she started to crycursing at John and the greif and pain of losing her daughter.
Author's Note: Review... Please review. I feel really sorry for Diana right now.
