Cian went upstairs to fetch for the magical bangles, he decided to skip dinner, he could hardly take a bite of his food, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling for who knows how long. A knock at his door brought him back to reality, the person entered the his room since he didn't answer, it was Clint.
'Come on bro, don't starve yourself because of aunt freak face' Clint said as he entered and placed the tray of food on the bed beside Cian. He pulled Cian up to eat, Cian looked down so Clint stir the hot porridge that he ask Matt to reheat and brought up a spoon to Cian's mouth. Cian frowned, 'I can feed myself', 'Now I got your attention, my arm is aching' Clint complained and Cian slightly opened his mouth. Clint smiled and fed him the porridge,'I'm sorry' Cian said dwindling with his fingers,'It's okay, it wasn't a storm, it just a rain that came during summer, sounds weird' Clint said'How did you hold up?' Cian asked'I didn't, I left ,remember? I don't spend holidays with them I either stay at Sean's or Raymond's or just stay in the mansion alone' Clint said'You've never been to Asher's before?' Cian asked curiously'I have but that dude is boring, I've known him to be quiet since we were kids but after that night he became more quiet, you want to know a secret?' Clint said peaking at Cian's curiousity. Clint lean closer and said'He doesn't have any friends apart from us','Is that a secret?' Cian asked in disappointment, he thought it was a big secret that he'd use to tease Asher.'Not really, everyone at school knows he doesn't hangout with others, I wanted to, you know....to cheer you up' Clint said smiling stupidly.'To cheer me? with him?' Cian asked with enthusiasm'Didn't it work?''No, it did not' Cian said in denial'Liar!''Whatever, I got something to ask you' Cian said'Shoot''What is his deal? I mean Asher, sometimes he seemed cold, sometimes he seemed concerned and there is something about the way he looks at me, I just don't understand' Cian said trying to put his thoughts into words.'Clint?' Cian called as Clint remained silent,'Oh, that's not my place to tell' Clint finally said'Why? is there some big secret I'm not supposed to remember?' Cian asked preying Clint for answers.'He will tell you when he wants to' Clint said'And if he doesn't?' Cian asked'That means he doesn't want to remember, Cian, do you really not remember anything? Even that night?' Clint asked on a serious note'No, I don't, if I try to remember, I only remember seeing a burning house' Cian said'Don't try, it's better not to remember' Clint said'But...''No buts, eat your food, it's getting cold' Clint said standing up from the bed and went to the wardrobe.'Clint, don't you know the word privacy?' Cian fired at Clint who was going through Cian's clothes,'Dull Colo..' Clint stopped as something caught his eyes, it was the same blue hoodie they wore on their fifth birthday,'You always hated the hood' Clint said feeling nostalgic as he brought out the hood from the wardrobe'Why?' Cian asked'Because of this' Clint said pointing at the name written on the arm, 'Because you hate seeing my name on your things, you were always about earning a name for yourself and not "The twins"' Clint said and rolled his eyes.'Were we close back then' Cian asked with some unknown feelings in his voice'Sometimes we were the best brothers ever and sometimes you get mad and go to.... nevermind' Clint halt his words realizing he was going to accidentally reveal a secret.'Go to what?' Cian asked, Clint was saved by their ringing phones, it was Raymond calling both of them at the same time, 'A group call?' Cian asked it was more like a statement than a question'Hey guys' Raymond said immediately they answered the call,'Are you really bored?' Clint asked'How did you know, I'm damn bored, I'm at home with nobody to hang out with, everyone are just serious with the Voodoo witch stuff' Raymond said more like complained'When you sat hang out, you mean hook up' Sean said'That's my bro, you understand me' Raymond said'Did Asher pick the call?' Cian asked and he heard a wolf howling, 'He's in his wolf form?' Cian asked surprised but no showing it on his face.'He does it every night but hasn't done it since you came back' Raymond said'Why does he do it?' Cian asked'To feel free, being in your wolf form makes you let go of the anger, pain, fear and you just feel free' Clint answered staring into Cian's eyes.'And you know that because?' Cian asked'I'm part werewolf' Clint answered and Cian appeared obviously shocked'And you didn't bother to tell me' Cian said a bit hurt'You never asked' Clint said feeling pleased with Cian's expression'Raymond and Sean are?' Cian asked'Part witch, part vampire' Raymond said'Part witch, part vampire' Sean said'So, how was your visit back home?' Raymond asked'The usuals' Clint said'Aunt Julie, again?' Raymond asked totally not surprised anymore'You mean Aunt Freak face' Cian snared, then he heard cracking of bones and groaning, it was Asher turning back to his human form.'What did she say?' Asher growled, Cian was silent, he really didn't want them to know so Clint spoke up for him and told them everything that had happened during dinner.'Cian, did you want to come back home?' Asher asked after calming his blazing anger'Honestly yes, but it would make grandma said so I would stay' Cian answered trying to suppress the sadness and anger he felt during dinner.'What about we all come over tomorrow' Sean suggested'Like to stay?' Cian asked surprised'Yeah' Sean answered'I'm definitely in' Raymond happily announced'Count me in too' Asher said, for some strange reasons Cian felt happy, his happiness almost showed on his face, he quickly masked it with a blank expression before Clint saw it, unknown to him, Clint saw it and smirked.'But why do you want to come over' Cian asked'Mainly to train you besides someone needs to show Aunt Freak face you're special' Asher said without realizing he voiced out his thoughts, "He could actually say a long sentence" Cian thought, the line was silent as everyone never knew that Asher would one day say it out.'Uhm uhm' Raymond cleared his throat and Clint made a fake laugh to release the tension but Cian was too dense to notice what just happened.'I'm not special, you guys are, you are all born hybrid' Cian said innocently,"Good thing that he's dense as always" Asher thought to himself with slight disappointment.'I suspect you're also an hybrid, we won't know yet until you awaken your other part' Sean said'Young master Raymond, your mom calls for you' a distant voice was heard, it was from Raymond's phone, 'Hey guys, I got to go Mom's calling for some parent-child prep talk, see you tomorrow afternoon' Raymond said with that the group call ended.'Cian, I got a favor to ask of you' Clint said with a pleading eyes'What?' Cian asked irritated knowing that he won't like it"Can I sleep in your room' Clint asked making a puppy face.'Is there a ghost in your room' Cian made a dry joke with a serious tone and Clint shamelessly shook his head.'I have nightmares on the first night anytime I sleep here and it's been thirteen years since we slept on the same bed' Clint said playing with his fingers.'Ok' Cian said holding back his laughter but that was a ultimate failure, his laughter came in soft rhythmic pattern,"His laughter has really changed"It sounded more matured than the last time he heard it Clint felt more pleased than embarrassed.The nextext day afternoon three different portal open in front of the Plaurum (castle in the supernatural world) and three young men stepped out of them causing a scenery.'Come on, tell me' Clint pressed Cian'Tell you what?' Cian asked innocently'You know what I'm asking' Clint teased'I know not' Cian said holding back the urge to kick Clint off the bed. Even if he did I kick Clint, the bed was big and Clint would roll to other end.'Have you slept with anyone?' Clint asked with an evil smirk plastered on his face, 'Don't you know privacy? I guess you don't' Cian said 'There is no secret between brothers' Clint said turning over to stare at his brother.'But you wouldn't tell me what I need to know' Cian said'That's not my secret to tell' Clint said turning back to stare at the ceiling.'If you are asking the answer is negative' Cian answered Clint pressing question.'My brother is a fucking virgin' Clint shouted flipping out of the bed, Cian rushed to him to cover Clint's mouth before he wakes everyone in the Plaurum.'Eww' Cian said removing his palm from Clint's mouth after Clint had licked his palm, Cian smiled to himself at his success as Ci
'Maybe tomorrow let's show Aunt Freak face that she messed with the wrong twins' Raymond said bringing out a small red bag which had a small yellow rope stitched around its entrance. 'What's that?' Juliet asked 'its herbs, just Riander, Seil and fairies' magic dust' Raymond answered 'Riander? as in the lie herb and Seil, the truth herb?' Juliet asked to confirm. 'Yes, what else would they be? the only difference is that this one is grounded to powder' Raymond said and smiled at his hand work, no, his mom's.'What are you doing with Riander, Juliet' Sean asked his look would have been stern but it was blank. 'I use it in school when I sneak out because I'm bad at lying' Juliet said in a quiet voice with her head bowed.'What does it do?' Clint asked 'We are about to find out' Raymond smirked and left for dinner. At dinner, Aunt Julie wasn't really surprised to see them, she had seen them when they made their entrance from her room window which was adjacent to the entrance but sh
The school parking lot was bustling with students, the girls were swooning and some took pictures while the boys envies them and suddenly another set of cars drove into the parking lot taking the crowd's attention from the School Kings to the newly arrived car. The cars parked opposite to the School Kings' cars, the cars opened revealing the owners, Shannon and Nadia stepped out of the red car. Shannon still had her usual looks, long blonde hair and dark shade of red lips while Nadia had her black negro hair braided with a synthetic red hair which swept down her waist, her brown skin matching with her black tinted lips. Nadia would be classified under the sexy type of girls and Shannon is like the ice cold queen. Jessica, bubbling as ever stepped out of her car and walked towards Shannon and Nadia with her brown hair ties to a pony tail swept down her neck and her pink lips curved in a smile revealing her well arrange set of teeth. Tyler and Trevor out from their respective black car
'Why do we need to learn about those blood suckers' history when we are neither one' Trevor said in annoyance'I'm part vampire' Cian corrected 'You aren't a werewolf like your brother?' Trevor asked with enthusiasm'We have our differences' Cian said almost sounding like a warning'Your place or mine' Trevor asked 'Don't you live in dorms?' Cian asked confused'You guys aren't the only ones who get to live off school premises, so your place or mine?' Trevor asked again'Visitors aren't allowed in my place and I don't trust you enough to go to yours, let's just use the school lounge, we start tomorrow' Cian said in a commanding tone'Where is all that coming from, old man' Trevor chuckled ruffling Cian's hair, Cian slapped his hand off and glared at him. Trevor's face looks so annoying to Cian that he almost punched it. 'That's all for today, see you on Friday with your presentations' Miss. Kipilips said packing her books and left the class. Trevor smiled before strapping his bag
'Stop looking at me like that, I don't look pitiable, I'm heading to bed' Cian said and went off to his room. While Cian was changing out of his school uniform, there was a knock on his door.'Cian, it's me Asher' A monotonous voice was heard from behind the door. Cian had changed out of his uniform and only had pants on, he didn't bother to put on a shirt before opening the door. The sight of Cian's bare chest wasn't something Asher expected, maybe he did expect it but not this early. 'Come in' Cian said knocking Asher out of his trance, Asher moved his eyes everywhere except from the magnificent figure standing in front of him. Asher stepped into the bedroom and sat on the couch while Cian search his wardrobe for a comfortable shirt, he finally wore a white long sleeve cotton shirt which had flowers printed on it. 'So?' Cian asked cluelessly, not knowing how to start a conversation with Asher, Asher had been staring at Cian's back while Cian searched for a shirt in his wardrobe.
Asher understood what Cian was begging for and nodded in agreement, he wrapped his arm around Cian's waist and Cian rested his arm on Asher's shoulder and they vamped to Clint's room. Clint's room as located far away from Asher's room, because of a former incidents. They reached Clint's phone room and saw Raymond and Sean holding down a trembling Clint to his bed. Cian found his way to Clint's side and pulled him into a hug. 'I'm here' Cian said gently patting Clint's back, Clint drew away from the hug to stare at Cian's face, Clint pinched Cian's cheek to confirm that he was no longer dreaming before resting Cian's chest and Clint's trembling body began to relax. Sean and Raymond finally relaxed and Sean picked up his glasses which had fallen on the ground when he was trying to hold down Clint. 'Come in' Clint whispered and Asher heard it, Asher came into the room and sat on the couch.'Is it about that night again?' Raymond asked and Clint shook his head,'It's something different
The new generation of Elite lived in a mansion which was not far from the school, Trevor's car rode into the compound, his flashy red car showcasing his wealthy background he came from. Jessica, Nadia and Shannon were back from school and were busy with their own things when Trevor came in,'There is a party at school tomorrow, are you going?' Shannon asked Trevor who was heading to the kitchen. Trevor poured himself a cup of water and drank it before answering Shannon'We still have to go to their fucking party?' Trevor said in frustration'What are you so worked up about, it's only just being two days we've been here' Jessica said putting her phone down 'Can you believe that that suckler ditched me?' Trevor said clenching his jaw 'Is that why you are behaving so fucked up?' Nadia said'Nobody have ever said no to me left alone him!' Trevor said raising his voice. Tyler came out of his room hearing Trevor's ranting, 'You mean nobody like your day doesn't turn your down' Tyler said
The party was bustling and noisy, Cian wasn't used to this sort of place, he sat by the counter and order and ordered water, someone took a seat beside him, he thought that it was Karin but shockingly it was Shannon.'Get me a booze' Shannon ordered 'There are no booze' The man behind counter said'Just give me anything with alcohol' Shannon said 'Don't worry I'm a vampire I won't get drunk' Shannon added when the man behind the counter gave a weird look.'Do you have any illness that's making you drink water in a party' Shannon asked Cian 'I don't drink alcohol' Cian said coldly'You are really a sickler' Shannon said as a glass cup filled with liquor was placed in front of her. 'I heard you grew up here in the central, how was it then?' Shannon asked 'I didn't grow up here, I'm the legendary lost twin brother' Cian said in sarcasm trying not to get annoyed'Sorry, I can't differentiate, you guys are identical' Shannon said and drank her liquor in one go and gestured for a refill
