Chapter 14

Quinn's POV

I was sitting on my bed, holding the photos grandfather had given us all those years ago. They were now worn and slightly crinkled, I was shuffling through them for the millionth time.

The first picture had all of mom's friends grouped together, Liz and patti were on either side of kidd, whom had a slight look of discomfort on his face. When I showed them to Mom she had said that he didn't like how the camera was unsymmetrical. Tsubaki was hunched over, being clutched at the neck by black star. Mom was smiling madly at the camera holding up two fingers in a peace sign, while my 'father' was standing to the left of her grinning at her, with his hands in his pockets.

The second picture was one of mom in a black gown she was wielding a black scythe, but the blade was made of piano keys.

The third picture was one of mom holding a red and black scythe but in the reflection of the blade was my 'father' smirking at the camera.

The fourth picture bothered me. There was a beautiful black piano sitting in a darkened room, with burgundy red curtains draped along the wall behind it. My so called father was sitting at the key board in an all black suite with a red tie. It bothered me that my love for the piano came from him.

The fifth photo was of Kidd holding twin pistils, black star holding a katana, and mom was holding the red and black scythe.

The last picture was one I couldn't stand, my mother and father were standing close together. He had his hand on her waist, and his other hand was holding hers. They looked as if they were dancing. My mothers eyes were closed and she was smiling while he was looking down at her. There was a slight smile smeared across his face. If I hadn't known better i'd say he looked as if he lover her in that photo.

I was glaring at the pictures in my hand when Mia walked into my room. "Quinn, mom says dinner is-" I tried to hide he pictures but mia had clearly seen me looking at them. "Quinn... You can't let this get to you," she sat down on the bed next to me. "You are nothing like him."

"But I am, I play the piano, I'm a scythe weapon, and to top it off I am a spinning image of the bastard!" She sighed and shook her head at me. "Well, try not to dwell on it too much, and dinner is ready." It was the same song and dance mia had heard before. I despised myself for being like that retched man, ever sense my tenth birthday.

I walked down stairs, mia was in the kitchen eating lunch, rose was out with dean, and mom was washing dishes in the sink. I wanted answers and I figured that I was old enough now to get them.

"M-mom? Can we talk?" She turned off the water and looked at me.

"Sure quinn, what's on your mind?"

"I... I want to know the truth, we can make this my birthday gift, but please mom I have questions and I want answers. Please no half answers, no avoiding the questions, just the full truth."

Mia was staring at me with huge eyes, I knew that she was just as curious as I was but she was to scared to just straight out ask mom about her past. Mom took a deep breath, "I should have known you would be curious..." She then smiled at me and mia, "Mia I know you will have questions too, I promise to answer any and all of your questions."

I looked over at mia, she was looking at me and nodded. "Okay, thanks, um... first question. What is out fathers real name?"

Mom took a ragged deep breath, it was clear that this was hard for her. "His name is Soul, Soul Eater Evans."

We took a moment to let that sink in, Mia asked the next question. "How old were you when you had us?"

"I was 17 when you both were born." I was bout to ask another question but mia beat me to it. "How did the two of you meet?"

"We meet at school, he was my weapon partner, I was a meister back then. He had ditched the main group of new meisters and weapons during the meet and greet. I wasn't having any luck in finding a partner, so I went for a walk around the school. I found him in the music room, he was playing the most beautiful music, it was so full of emotion. After that we talked for a bit, then we became partners.

I asked the next question, "How long were you two partners?"

"For about 5 years, we became partners when I was 11 and he was 12. Within that time we became very close, we started dating after I made him into a death scythe."

"So when did we come along?" mom looked down at her hands.

"Souls, grandmother died and about a month later I found out I was 2 months pregnant."

Mia shot out of her seat, "so he got you pregnant and then he left you alone?"

"It's a little bit more complicated than that mia..." Mom had sat down at the table and was trying to keep her voice even. By the way she was acting and I could tell that he had hurt her, but I had to know how much mia and I had to do with her pain from the past.

"M-mom... Do you.. were mia and I a mistake? The reason you left death city.. was it because of us?"

Mom stood up instantly and pulled me and mia into a hug. "Of course not. I love you both, I loved you from the moment that I found out I was pregnant... The reason why I left has to do with the reason Soul and I ended out partner ship. You and Mia may not have been planned, but you never were and never will be a mistake."

What mia asked next didn't suprise me this was the main question that she worried about for some reason. "D-did you love him mom? And do you think he loved you?"

"Yes mia, I loved him very much, in a way I still do. I see him in both of you every day.. Quinn's love for the piano, Mia your layed back attitude."

I couldn't help but interrupt mom, "But I look exactly like him, I'm even a scythe like him." Mom smiled at me.

"Yes quinn, you got a good part of your looks from your father, but you are your own person, You will never be him." There was a long silent pause until mia spoke. "That reminds me... Mom why is it that you and this soul guy are both scythes, but my weapon form is a long bow?" Mia had a point, in her weapon form she was a electric green and royal blue long bow, and the arrows would be made of her meister's soul wavelength.

"That has always been a misery to us mia, but it is what makes you so special, a bow weapon is even more rare than a scythe." We both nodded at her. "I just have one more question." She nodded at me.

"Why did you and soul end your partnership? What happened.. You were partners for so long.. I thought that weapons were to stay by their meisters side and protect them... Where was he when you needed him, when you got pregnant?"

She sighed slightly, "You may want to sit down for this one quinn... It's a bit of a long story."

It had been 4 years sense she told mia and I the truth. That is when I knew that I personally cause my mother pain. He did so much to her, betrayed her and I am the spinning image of him. The fact that I am alive must haunt her. After that day I started to hate my appearance, I envied the way mia looked. Hell I would even prefer to look like rose, with her honey brown hair and her silver blue eyes.

I eventually made my way down to dinner. My mom smiled at me and passed me a plate full of strawberry/ banana pancakes, my favorite. Mia, rose and dean had already been eating when I arrived at the table

"Now that everyone is here, Dean and I have something important to tell you all."

I face palmed myself "Mom no, please tell me that your not pregnant I just can't handle another sister!" She chuckled at me, "No quinn I am quite happy with the children I already have." I smirked at her "Good!" and she continued. "This is fairly serious however... We are moving." When no one said anything she continued, "Back to death city."

AN: quick note, I know that keeping up with the ages are kinda hard with me jumping around so *trumpets play* (dat duh duh dah) age chart: quinn & mia - 14 almost 15, and rose- 10 almost 11. Again sorry for the delay. I hope this made up for it.
