He remembered what day today is and didn’t feel like getting up from the bed but the soft snoring of his son made him get up. He went to the bathroom and came out all showered up, only to see his son still fast asleep like a star fish. He chuckled and sat next to Hunter, “Hey sleepy head” Sebastain rubbed his son’s hair making him stir, “Wake up my prince. I have a royal breakfast for you” he said in a baby voice. Hunter opened his eyes groggily, “Food?” He asked softly still incoherent of his senses.
“Yes food!” Sebastain let out a laugh, “Like mother like son” he muttered to himself, “Come on prince Hunter! Don’t you wanna see dragons fly?” He said making a smile appear on Hunter’s face and nod, “Yes daddy” he answered back stretching and yawning on the bed, “So go now brush your teeth. I’ll have your breakfast ready” Sebastain sat up Hunter who was still rubbing his eyes, “But Daddy! How doesn’t brushing my teeth has to do with seeing dragons?” He asked.
Sebastain was speechless for a second, “Uh.. umm.. dragons don’t.. like bad breath?” He said with furrowed brows. Hunter pouted, “I thought dragons breath fire so all the smell burns off” he said jumping off the bed and heading to the washroom.
Sebastain cursed under his breath and went downstairs, that boy is too smart for his age, he said to himself. After what had happened four years ago, he couldn’t bear to live with his pack where he sees his wife’s traitors everyday more over he felt empty without her. She was a part of him and loosing a part of your soul can drive anyone insane, who was Sebastain to fight that? He then decided to move to Italy where he had bought a home for the three of them
He flipped Hunter’s favourite savoury waffles on his star wars plate with two sausages. Hunter came skipping down the stairway, “Daddy! Can we go out to play today?” He jumped on his chair and shoving food in his mouth.
“Slow down there, Prince. You don’t wanna choke one the food!” Sebastain came by his side a pushed a glass of apple juice.
Hunter gulped it down and looked at father with a goofy smile, “Sorry” he said and resumed eating. Sebastain pulled the plated for himself and sat beside his son, “Daddy can I play with your lycan?” He asked his father. Sebastain nodded his head, “Yes, prince Hunter” Sebastain winked at his son who cheered happily then choked on his food, “How many times have I told you not to talk with food in your mouth” Sebastain scolded softly patting Hunter’s back.
The Huntsons siblings walked through the woods early in the morning. Each step they took closer made them feel how much far away ‘they’ have gone, and no matter even if they are near their parents.. they are still too far away.
After walking for another 10 mins they finally reached their parents’ graveyard. As soon as Ariana was before the gate, she broke down crying. Arora collected her in her arms as she too silently cried remembering their pale faces. Stephan was already swallowing his sobs trying to remain calm but the shaking of his body gave away that he was anything but calm. As the eldest of the family Jacob and Andrew tried to be tough but the thought of their parents grave had them breaking down on their knees.
With shaky legs they stood on the foot of the sarcophagus, both the sisters layed beside it, hugging their parents. Stephan put his head on his father’s foot stone remembering the old days when the two used to have their bonding time. Jacob sat near his mother’s head stone looking at the sculpture of her mother’s face, she is finally resting, he chanted to himself before he broke down crying again. Andrew beside Stephan who looked at peace being near their parents.
Aurelia and Earl had been buried together in the sacred forest of Sorcery where noble witches, sorcerers and sorceress were buried. Like the tradition has it, they are buried beneath the sarcophagus of themselves. It was a beautiful sculpture of them, each and every detail of their faces, hands and feet were beautifully shows. The two of them were buried in the same casket as they had always wished for and thier sarcophagus were made in one big block of stone.
Hours passed by as the siblings stayed with their parents, feeling closer to them. Laying beside their parents they felt with a year old child again. All the pain, anguish and all the self hatred they had for themselves went away in a snap. With their parents they were at peace.
People usually say losing their significant other or child is most painful but they have never guessed the pain they felt of losing both their parents. It had felt like their very soul was buring and hell was praying for their suffering to end.
Atleast every month the siblings come here to spend time with their parents, they also spend a month in their parents home as mom would always have wanted for them. To be together, as one.
The Huntsons brothers took Nora’s disappearance hard, Stephan was the one closest to Nora and he knew well that Nora would never kill their mother. Even if she is in the worst case scenario, she’ll die herself than to think about any harm to their mother. The three of them were really disappointed with the two sister’s act, they had been searching for Nora’s statue ever since they got to know their sister’s betrayal. But that was all in vain, Arora had casted a spell on herself and Ariana making them forget the place where Nora’s statue was thrown. For all they knew, it could have been corroded down to dust.
As it is the three brothers had lost both their parents and their youngest sister, they couldn’t afford to lose their sisters as well. Stephan still has some of Nora’s belongings, all the stupid perfumes she used that made his nose twitch to all the type of whisks that she used. Stephan still eats all the candies they used to have late at night hiding from their siblings, they were the best duo to say the least. While Andrew and Jacob have the rest of her belongings that the two sisters had thrown out of their apartment years back. Through the three live in different houses, there is one room in each house that has Nora’s stuff, a way of remembering her.
It was almost Sun down when they decided to head back to their car. They walked reached their car in a few minutes of walking. They sat on the hood of the car for a while before they drive down to their houses. They all were lost in their thought to notice a figure coming their way.
“Huntsons?” A screechy voice said snapping them off of their trance. A redheaded woman appeared from the other side of the road on a wheelchair. Stephan jumped off the car and narrowed his eyes at her, “Who are you?” He asked.
A smile formed on her lips, that’s what she asked first as well, she chuckled internally.
“I mean no harm.. I just need your help.. just as much you need me” she said choosing her words correctly.
“Did you run away from a psychiatric hospital, lady?” Jacob rolled his eyes at Andrew’s comment.
“Nora didn’t kill them” she blurted out. All of them looked shocked at the woman, before anyone could react Stephan had her hanging in the air by her throat, “What did you do?” Stephan growled lowly, all his dark energy came forth, turning the entire place dark.
The redhead dandled off in the air as she tried to move her legs but that was all in vein, “TELL ME!” He shouted furiously at her.
“N–ora is inno-cent. S-She was fram-ed!” she gasped out in between her breath as she kept on struggling to breath. Jacob looked furious at her as tears clouded in his eyes, he opened a portal and they landed in Jacob’s basement.
