Sebastian returned just after Ethans corpse fell to the floor. He clutched several roles of parchment. Unrolling them, I scanned the print quickly. The once black ink had faded with time to a light blue. Rolling them back up, I gave them to Sebastian.
"You've gone and made a mess, now haven't you young master?" Sebastian asked.
"I suppose your right. Clean this up, bury them in the yard or something." I replied
"What should we do with the boy?"
" I'll take him with me." I replied, climbing back up the stairs. I walked into Alex's room, to find him sitting in the corner playing with plastic dinosaurs.
"Alright, Alex. Pack your clothes, you're coming to live with me." I said crouching next to him.
"Will mommy and daddy be coming too?" He asked with hopeful eyes.
How long can I keep lying to him?
"No. No they won't."
"Why?" He asked tears welling up in his eyes.
"Because they're gone." I stated. I wasn't in the mood for twenty questions, but Alex on the other hand.
"They're coming back right?"
"They are not, coming back. Ever. Now, hurry up and pack. We'll be heading back in a moment."
I Personally, would be scared shitless if they did come back.
He began crying, using the back of his hands to wide away his tears.
"Come now, you'll have a lot of fun back at my house." I said trying to get him to stop sniffling. "So lets back up your clothes and we can hit the road."
"Alright!" He said.
Man, little kids are really bipolar aren't they?
He grabbed a large suit case from his closet and shoved everything he could into it. So much in fact he had to sit on top of it to zip it.
I carried his bag downstairs and placing it on the couch.
"Sebastian?!" I called because he was nowhere to be found " We're ready to go!"
"Yes, Master?" he said appearing behind me.
" We're ready to go to the mansion now." I stated.
" Very good, I have prepared a car to take us to the airport." Sebastian replied, opening the door for me and Alex to leave.
Alex was sleeping in the seat next to me, Sebastian in the seat across . The plane was to touch down soon.
" I have reverted the mansion back into its original state, the way it was when your grandfather lived there. I hope it will please you." Sebastian said as the cab pulled into the mansions long drive. Alex was still asleep, resting his head on my shoulder.
"Sebastian, would you mind carrying Alex inside?" I asked as the cab stopped in front of the huge, stone manor.
"It would be my pleasure." He said getting out of the car, and picking up Alex so his head rested on his chest. Sebastian grabbed the luggage from the trunk and carried it inside.
"Whoa. It's just like in the pictures!" I exclaimed as I entered the manor. My father had turned the place into a huge man cave. Now it was back in its original state, the way my grandfather had it.
"I'm glad you're pleased with it." Sebastian said, carrying Alex up the large staircase. "Come, I'll show you to you room."
