Six Months Before
1068 Words
There was silence before chaos erupted. "How could you let us think you were dead! The whole world thinks we lost the Leader of the Light!" Jared snarled. I rolled my eyes and went to stand behind Tarrant. Cooper stood on my right and Hadrian on my left. Lilly went and climbed into Tarrant's lap. "Well?"
"You people really have not changed." I growled at Jared. Tarrant chuckled when Jared scowled. "At this moment, people are learning that I am alive. I should be dead with all the things I've been through. I lost my memories for, what was it? Two, three years? I mean, my so called friends abandoned me. You act like my death is the worst crime ever. Are you disappointed I'm alive?"
"We are happy, just not pleased that you made us believe you were dead. Why do you look so different?" Jenna asked.
"Magic." I stated. "Ugh, I need to sit." I muttered.
"Who are the men that stand by your side and what is up with the child?" Adrian asked.
"Cooper is a werewolf and Hadrian a vampire. Husband number one and husband number two. The child is Lilly, who happens to be my daughter." I answered. Surprised silence filled the room. "I just love it when I can just shock others into silence. Is now a good time to say something about the twins?"
"TWINS?" Erick shouted.
"Yes, twins. Keep your voice down. I'm having twin boys." I informed them.
"Tell us the names!" Jenna demanded.
"Jenna, we are not in the place to be demanding things from her." Jonah hissed. "I really am sorry, Evie. I'm happy for you and I will love to know from your views on what happened these last six years. Tarrant, I am sorry you had to go through with the thought of losing Evie. I worried everyday about her and regretted leaving her the moment we got back. Evie, tell me, have you collected all the stones?"
"Not all of them. I will be getting the last of them in the coming months. Each stone will represent your personalities. They each have a different power." I explained.
"How would you know this?" Jenna snapped.
"I would hold your tongue girl." David snarled. Alexis, Villy, and David are the only ones not sitting, choosing to act like guards instead. "She is more powerful than any of you ever will. She could return to her home with her husbands and children and leave us to rot, but no, she stays because she wants to."
"My brother is right. After all, weren't you the ones that got jealous and left her. Every leader has more power than her fellow warriors. She didn't choose this, it chose her. Lady Magic has saved her time and time again. Gives others many chances and saves many lives. What have you done in the last six years? Just sit here and do nothing. There is a war brewing! People are dying and you do nothing."
"Evie has generals that she stays in contact with. She knows everything about what is going on in many countries. You have not fought once. She has risked her life collecting the stones. I taught her what her magic can do. I know she can do a lot more than she lets on. The only reason why she is holding back is because the children she carries." Villy spoke calmly, but firmly. Anger showed in her eyes.
"You see, Jenna. I have a wonderful family. You guys lost that honor. Jonah, you still are promising. I will personally tell you what has happened these past years. I knew there was a reason as to why you were, and still are, my favorite." Jonah smiled brightly. "Back to the stones. I already have my stone, which is a sapphire." I smiled as Cooper and Hadrian squeezed my hands. Lilly's eyes sparkled with joy as she thought of her sister, who is most likely running around, terrifying the castle guards. "I will give you your stones the moment the last one is collected. I must have them so their power can activate."
"As long as it isn't like the first stone you got." Cooper grumbled.
"We agreed to never mention that one again." I growled. He shrugged. I slapped him and crossed my arms in irritation.
"What happened with the first stone?" Adrian asked. I glared at Cooper, who returned it with a nervous smile.
"Water Nymphs are mean and tricksters." I muttered.
"It wasn't really a trick." Tarrant grumbled. "They act all innocent, then they bring out a giant crab who happens to have anger issues."
"It didn't want to die. I got the stone though. Worth it in the end." I said. "I could have done without the injuries. You also had no to that at the time, due to you not being there. We hadn't even met."
"True, but it didn't stop you at the volcano." Cooper pointed out. Hadrian nodded in agreement.
"Do you really want to go there, do you really?" I asked.
"As much as I love you, you scare me more." Cooper stated.
"So should I know?" I asked looking at the group in front of me. They stood there looking at me in confusion. "Jonah, please tell me they haven't grown this stupid?"
"Would you like me to lie?" Was his response, which earned him some glares. "Anyways, Erick and Adrian got married and adopted two boys before having one of their own, due to the help of a potion, which gave them a little girl. Miranda and Jenna got married last month. Joseph is courting two nice young women, who happen to be twins. Neil is being courted my a young man and lady, who are very odd, but a welcoming odd. Me? Well, I'm still trying to figure that one out. All I know is that I don't care about gender."
"Well it has been a rather long day, let us all retire for the night." Jenna said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
