I don't know when or how, but sometime it feels like.
…I lost the ability to feel any emotions.
Yesterday I nearly died but I don't feel any sort of fear or hate towards that cat lady, I mean at the time I did feel like I was about to die and was scared as shit, but right after father saved me.
I just felt whatever, when she left with the hate and the fear.
I want to say that it was because of father, but something tells me it wasn't.
DOOM DOOM DOOM!
The hell is going on?
"Ivan, get up."
Rulf, why?
It's the sixth and Rulf normally goes hunting alone in the forest.
DOOM DOOM DOOM!
"Ivan! Quick, get up!"
"What is it?"
"Father, breakfast."
Wait?
I quickly got dressed and ran to open the door.
I can hear Rulf hitting the shit out of Walter's door.
DOOM!
Hahaha!
It sounds like Walter fell down.
Understandable though, because…
Father is making breakfast today.
Hell yeah!
Nothing beats father's cooking.
The moment I opened my door…
Walter was there, his hand at his pants just around the knee level and his shirt covering half of his face.
"PFF! HAHA!"
"What are you laughing at, you are the same."
We both let out a laugh.
"Wait?"
Walter and I said in synic
"Where is Rulf?"
The run to get down was painful and quick as we fought and pushed each other, the whole way.
The smell of father's cooking filled the entire house
We reached the table but…
Rulf had already eaten the meat in the stew.
"Father why do you always let Rulf eat the meat before we even get down."
"Not my fault you two can't get up early."
Huh?
"Come on now dear, don't make fun of the boys before breakfast." Mother says. "Come now walter and Ivan, sit and eat,"
The breakfast that father makes are way to heavy for breakfast but it's way to good to say no.
"Hey, Hey, HEY! Walter that's my."
"Who cares?"
"I care cus it's my MEAT!"
"Stop acting like a child and just eat."
"Eat what? If you are eating my food, mother."
"Walter, stop eating your brother's food, here if you want to eat someone's food eat your father's."
"huh? Why mine and not Rulf's since he has already eaten more than enough for two people."
"And why would I take food from my babies and leave you to eat peacefully?"
"Wha-so I'm not allowed to eat peacefully?"
"Of cause not, but my babies need more peace than you."
The sound of laughter could be heard from a distant.
This was normal for this family.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Excues me."
"Hmm? What was that?" Rulf asked.
"I think someone is at the door." Walter replied.
"Oh, let me-."
"No, I will go."
Father stopped Rulf from going to open the door, might be because of yesterday.
On his way to the door, father brought his twin blades as well.
Walter's started eating slow.
He was whispering something under his breath, an incantation?
The sound of the door opening never sounded more louder than this moment right now.
"Yes?" father opened the door with his right hand on his swords.
When the uninvited guest came into view.
I knew those eyes.
I would never forget them.
My hands went cold.
My heart slammed against my chest.
Fear.
So I hadn't lost it after all.
"Greetings Bloodstone family, I'm Roselyn Moonclaw and I'm here on behalf-."
"What the hell are you doing here Roselyn?"
"I'm here on behalf of the Fitzroy Family, Diamond branch family."
"How?"
"I guess you didn't hide enough Clifton, and now my younger sister has to face danger again, all because of you."
"Roselyn, why?"
"Relax my dear little sister, I would never harm your kids in anyway, but that thing is no child of yours."
"Ivan is my child and not one of those things."
"Elara, you know very well why the king himself is after you and your husband, is because you are fated to birth one those disgusting creatures." Roselyn said while slowly walking in.
"Stop."
Father stopped her.
"Listen here Clifton my sister has already seen enough of hell and if they find out that she actually gave birth to one of those damn things, do you think they would just let her walk away free?"
"..."
"You know very well what she went through and what she would go through if I don't kill that thing."
"..."
"I don't care if you die and even if Roselyn feels depression from your death, but even if I have to work for the very people who hunt down my people so she can stay alive and well. I will kill and destroy anything and anybody to keep her safe."
In an instant, Roselyn jumped towards me with her claws heading straight for my neck.
Rulf blocked her by kicking her to the side but one of her claws were able to reach me.
And a thin stream of blood ran down my cheek.
Once again I froze up in fear.
Roselyn got up and dusted herself off.
"Wow, you really are Clifton's boy alright and with that in mind I know exactly how to beat you."
Wall to wall. Ceiling to floor. Roselyn darted around the room like a bug, moving so fast that my eyes could barely follow her.
Walter and Rulf got close.
Mother and Father weren't moving.
Why?
They were right there.
They should have been moving.
They should have been fighting.
So why weren't they?
"Mother!"
Rulf shouted as blocked attack after attack from Roselyn.
Walter created a protective barrier
"Oh, so you got Elara's talent with magic, you are my favorite now."
"Mother, father!"
Rulf called out to mother and father.
But they still don't respond.
"What have you done to mother and father?"
Walter asked.
"Oh, don't tell me your mother never taught you the ways of the beast…"
She smiled.
"Then let me teach you the way of the beast!"
