Hi everyone! So, to begin, I would like to sincerely apologized for this months of wait… I had this chapter on my computer for mounths, I actually began to write it just after I post my last chapter. Unfortunately, I just couldn't finished it, I only had the beginning and couldn't find my words to express what I wanted to tail. Then I decided to let it aside, I focused on my studies, and now that I completed my BA's second year, I went back on it, and TaDaa! Magic acted, I finished the chapter, and it's the longest I wrote. So I really hope you're not mad at me, and I'd like to thank all of you that followed the story and those who posted review, even if I didn't answer, it's what gave me the desire to write this chapter down!

Disclaimer: I obviously still don't own Haven and its characters, but Stephan King and Syfy do, I only do own Ellina.

Enjoy!


Chapter 6

The long pause I made trying to organize my ideas seemed to irritate the cop guy a little (and I have to admit it pleased me). But I knew I couldn't push this moment away more longer.

"It's a family stuff. Ya know, my father had a 'gift' a little bit like mine, but still different. Being the first child of the family, a girl, and if I correctly got what my grandmother told me, it's also the first time that a girl is the first born in the family. So, I guess it explains why my gift is different."

"And what is it exactly?" Audrey asked me.

"If you could wait I finish please" I replied back, slightly irritated. "So, like I was saying, my trouble is a bit particular, it is what gave me my hair color and my eyes, even if when I use it, they become even more translucid."

"Hey, Duke have eyes a little bit like that too when he uses his trouble." Audrey exclaimed. Wow, I had no idea he had already activated the curse. I wondered if it was the same thing that gramma told me our father had.

"Well, I would prefer if we don't talk about my curse please" he added, I could see how uneasy the curses made him feel.

"Why not? You're a Crocker after all, perhaps your father already has met someone of her family, or your grandfather, there maybe is a link between your two families." Nathan stated, going straight where I wouldn't them to.

"I think I would remember if I read something about a troubled family with white hair and yes, maybe there's a link, in fact I don't really know." Duke replied back.

On one hand, I was glad they let me alone, and stop being interested in me, but on the other hand, I wasn't that happy to see them making comparison between the two of us and our gift. I would be delighted if they just stopped to talk about a possible family link between us, I wasn't ready yet to tell him about, even more in the company of two strangers. While the two boys kept going to talk to each other, Audrey eventually turned her look on me. I was almost expecting to see her eyes burn me down their intensity so high, as if she was trying to unveil my secret.

"Tell me Ellina, why are you here? What are you looking for?" she finally asked me expectantly.

"What are you talking about" I feigned to wonder.

"Oh come on, no one would intentionally come here, in this town, if not looking for something in particular." She clarified her thoughts.

"You already started to share anyway, you better keep going…" Nathan slightly added "And I really want to know what your so particular gift is, it makes me wonder in which way it could possibly helped you to survive to another person's trouble."

I hesitated a bit, but finally let go "If… if I touch a troubled person without my gloves… it will kill him…" I showed my hand saying it, head down, avoiding there gaze.

"Well, that's peculiar" told Duke "But I think I can understand you, my curse implies killing people, so…" he slowly said. I looked at him with compassion in the eye. I knew what he meant, it was the same thing as Dad I guessed.

"In fact, it will do nothing to normal people, but if you have a trouble, I will absorb it and it will kill you… I guess that's what helped me to stand beside the guy yesterday, if I'm supposed to exterminate the troubled persons I should have the possibility to get close enough to them." They all looked at me full of wonder after my statement. Really didn't want to answer their question and hesitated to just went away and go back to my little camp in order to take some time for myself.

"I have to say, it really explains a lot!" Nathan suddenly exclaimed. "But tell me, why are you here? Is it for wiped out all the troubled person, to accomplish your mission?" he almost jumped on me.

"What? No, absolutely not! I didn't even know this town was full of gifted person. I swear!" I tried to defend myself seeing the two cops ready to take their weapons out.

My dear brother, out of nowhere, appear between us, trying to calm down the things "Hey guys, I am also supposed to exterminate them all and yet I am not walking around the town killing everybody, am I?" seeing him here, taking my defense, warmed my heart.

"Fine!" Audrey raised her hands in defense "But then, explain us what you're doing here, and you don't have a choice, we're starting to lose our patience."

I sighed in defeat "I actually don't know how to express it without making you freak out…". I looked at Duke and waved them all the tools in order to suggest to sit back down. Duke gently smiled to me, taking the seat just next to me, reassuring. He was so sweat, I thought.

"Hum… You see, I never really knew my family… I lived with my grandmother, she was the one who told me about, like, everything!" I slightly chuckled with memories coming in my minds. "She told me that my mother, her daughter, came to her being pregnant of 2 months, I think, after years without seeing her." "Rude" Nathan commented. "Yeah, right…" I gave him a funny look.

"Anyway… Apparently, she was not with my father for a long time and didn't wan him to know about me, so she staid with 'Ma during her whole pregnancy, gave me birth and then leave, letting me to her mother for educate and raise me." There was like a silence, a blank all of a sudden.

"Wow…" Audrey firstly breathed out "That shouldn't be easy…"

"I can't imagine how it would be not to be raised by my parents or even to not know them" Duke expressed.

I snorted "Well, when you don't know anything else, you see things differently."

"Wait, why did you say you were afraid of Duke's reaction?" mister cop suddenly noticed.

"Oh, yeah… Well, you see, my mother stays with my father much more longer after me, they actually got married and have two other children that they kept… She sent my grandmother a picture of them, of two adorable boys, and then every year for Christmas she sent her a new picture as they grew up…. And finally, after mother died, we only received one last picture of grown men…" I slightly talked in a hushed and tune " 'Ma died a month after, letting me alone with only pictures of total strangers, last members of a family I didn't know…"

"I have to say, this is a really sad story, you should have warned us I would have taken tissues for Audrey" Dukes winked at her who had watered eyes.


Author note: So I hope you liked it! And I'm sorry for all the mistakes I could do... By the way, I am still looking for a Beta! To the next time xoxo
