Complications

chapter five

The confessions

My sister'n law startled me this mourning as she woke me up by knocking on the door and yelling at me. Wich is quite strange concidering that I'm normaly awake at least half an hour before she does that. I looked over at the clock and sure enough in bright green letters it read 7 o'clock. Huuuuuu guess I gota get up now. mhmhmhm I don't wanna. Huuuu I pulled myself up out of bed and went out into the hallway to the kitchen and made the coffee and bacon and eggs just like I always do. Except this time I was way too tired to barly keep my eyes open and I had to sit down a couple of times to keep from falling over and passing out! But after it was all cooked and I had a cup of coffee I was fine. Then I had to pour the thermist of coffee that belongs in the mini fridge in the hide out.

I didin't eat much. I pretty much just sat down and waited for every one to be done whith every thing before I could wash every thing and put it all up. To be used again which I had a little help whith from Amio. After the mourning ritual I had to go to the bathroom and becouse it was Saterday it was my bathday. So I got my towel and my shampoo that is only mine becouse Sydney dosen't want that disgusting crap in her bathroom so I get to keep everything I own includinfg hygene products in my little 5-5 room. Which as you can imagine is already a little cramped whith all my books, my bed, cleaning products, and so on and so forth. After I took a bath I went down to the hide out and heated a cup of coffee cleaning small messes like any thing thats out of place puting things back on the shelf keys on the counter and streightening all the pictures on the way to and from.

Once I got back to my room I had already finished that cup of coffee and washed and put it up. As soon as I got back to my room I continued reading all the books that I have which that big now organized trunk full of books is evan more room being used but not much I could do about it. My magic hasn't gotten far enough to move walls and stuff. yet! But I want to. It would be awsome! I ended up missing lunch becouse I was so into the book I had previously decided to just scan which I obviously couldn't take the chance of missing any thing becouse just like this mourning I was startled when Sydney knocked on the door to yell at me to make dinner. I made chicken and rice but I didn't eat a whole lot of it possably an 8th of what was on my plate.

As I was headed back to the hideout for a cup of coffee becouse my head hrt since it was 5 o'clock in the after noon and I havent had any cafine since about 9 this mourning. So the room was practicly spinning and I was whoosy and ended up colapsed on the stairs Amio had to get the coffee for me and gave me an extra cup to help but afer a couple of minuts I was fine. Just let me sit down for a while. When I was able to comprehend the things going on around me again Marco was there whith his old warm and inviting yet playful eyes full of life and excitement so of course I'm expecting to wake up sometime soon.

I was siting in the recliner and Amio and Marco were siting on the couch. Then Marco started a conversation whith "Triston?" I waited a moment for him to continue but he obviously needed a little prompying. "Yes?" He seemed to refocuse on me instead of wherever his mind went for the moment but he seems to have found it as he continued. " I apologize for not telling you sooner but nows better than ever so I guess we should tell you that Amio and I haven't been exactly honest whith you. " He gave a weiry look at Amio who decided to take over for him in mercy. "You get powers when your emotional right? " I nodded as Amio now had my unwaivering atention he gave Marco a wry look and Marco wasn't as merciful as Amio had been before and instead of taking over just noded for him to continue on himself. So he faced me and continued "It's not just your magic" Now I'm confused. I frowened and waited for him to go on but to my suprise Marco seemed to get over his momentary stage fright and answered for him "I'm sorry we dind't tell you befor but meandamioareinfernomaculustooexceptyourfullbloodedbecousedadpassedittoyouwhen

hediedandmeandamiogaveyousomeofourpowersoutofrespecttohelpprotectyousoi'mhalfyourfullandamio'spart" Then concidering he said that all in one breath he had to breath as deaply as humanly possible but the only problem is I didn't catch a word he said.

So I frowned. "Huh? " and since Marco was nervouse Amio responded this time. "Marco just let me talk before you hurt your self he said me and Marco are Inferno Macului too except your full blooded becouse grampa passed it to you when he died and me and Marco gave you some of our powers out of respect to help protect you so I'm part your full and Marco's half any questions?" Surprisingly enough Amio said all this whithout getting stage fright like Marco did I'm proud of him but I still had a replie "You gave me half of your powers? you've been keeping a secret about your species! for 9 years? what do you think of course I have questions! well? " marco got ahold of his courage and started "we gave you our powers to protect you and we couldn't tell you untill we were certain you were one of us. I didn't tell Amio he was one untill he was ten." "how come dad gave me his powers and not you. You are the oldest and you mean to tell me if I wasn't an Inferno Maculus myself you would have never told me!" I glared at him. "and I don't need to be protected. I can take care of myself thank you very much!"

They looked at each other. Shook thier heads before Marco started talking again "The answer to the first question is that in a comunity or kingdom of the Inferno Maculus. Age and gender dosen't count at all. We don't care if youre a 9 year old girl you could still end up queen symply baised on how power full you are becouse whith power comes wisdom. We've learned that mostly it's people with great natural power who end up being the wisest and most knolage and dad picked the strongest out of the two of us. I had always known that when dad died you would inherit his powers and not me. Triston how old were you when you discovered your powers?" I thought for a moment becouse it had been so long ago "Um about three or four I think." Marco noded "Most Inferno Maculus or even wizards for that matter don't learn about their magic or powers untill somwhere between seven to elevan but you were showing magical sighns at three years old! Does that tell you any thing about how powerful you are? " I noded then Amio continued "And as for your second question. We gave you are powers becouse it's the duty of a dom and is a respectful gesture for any sub that has lost a family memmber. So at the time it was more of respect thing than protecting you and the only thing out of any high anarchey can all agree on is that no matter who it is evan family. Unless it's your mate you can't tell them. If you do than either the non Infero Maculus dies or if their realy just that close then both of them die so we were protecting you over somthing that you couldn't have protected you self against understand?" I noded "Yes I understand."

They looked at eachother shoked and you could just see them thinking somwhere around the lines of. 'oh my gosh we've explained it so well that she actualy dosen't have a question it's a mericle!' I had to stop myself from laughing when I thought that. Then Marco dismised me to go read one of the many books I now have on Inferno Macului.
