Over the shit
Natalia
I am not sure what I was thinking at that moment. When Edgar found me I wanted to strangle him but I didn't. He had done nothing to me in truth. Last night he had harmed Raven so I wanted to kill him. Thn she went off about this and that and it set me off again. I was so out of my gord that I had hurt her. Granted she needed to be put in her place. The hurt that she had given was pushed back at her, but she got the upper hand yet again. Why did I let her do this to me? I was stronger than this. I figured that Edgar would tell Draven where I was but after sevreal hours and no Draven I knew that he had kept his word. The forest around me didn't feel bad, but I missed Draven. I needed to get on with it and go back. Trouble was I wasn't sure I could get the speed I had last night. The anger and hurt had fueled me and I ran, faster than I knew was possible.
The way home was what I needed, but I wasn't sure how to do that at the moment. I couldn't face my kids without feeling like I horrible mother. Even though I had never harmed them before. I lost control of myself and that was something I couldn't afford to do any longer. Raven needed to get herself under control as well. Maybe she needed to see me like that to see what her words did to me. Every other time I had hidden in the bedroom for days to get my control back. Draven knew that I had issues with the anger, or hurt. I didn't recall most of what happened when it happened. It was strange because I could always feel it comeing, I knew when I would fall to that pit.
Sitting by the cave I sighed as my mind went around and around. My family needed me, but at the moment my heart and mind where fighting to see who would win. Sooner or later I would have to head back, I needed to feed and drinking animal blood wasn't good at all. It always felt like it was missing something. Yes in truth the blood would sustain me, but it wouldn't fill me up. I would need more and more, almost going savage. Not something I wanted right now. So I decided to go ahead and go home. I needed a shower and wanted to figure out what to do now. So I took off toward home.
Edgar
I knew that Draven wouldn't be happy that I wouldn't tell him where she was. Natalia needed to figure this out on her own. Nothing they did would bring her home any sooner. So he would tell them she was alive, and knew how to care for herself. When he entered the house he could sense that something ha happened in the time he had left. Perching on the shelf he looked toward Draven who was sitting on the couch. The moment he set eyes on me he asked the question I knew he would. Where was she?
"I can tell you that she is alive. Not going to tell you where however. She needs to decide on when and if she comes home. I don't think she will run any further. The need for blood will take over and she will have to come back." I told him glad I was up high.
"Dam it Edgar, why the hell aren't you talking." Draven bellowed at me.
"What happened last night opened everyone's eyes. I doubt Raven will forget it, for she crushed her mother once again. If it had been my mother she would have beat me senseless." He knew my mother so he smiled. "Your mother as well."
"You're not wrong that is for sure. Both our mother's would have locked us up for a month." Draven told me with a laugh. "Nat knows she is loved, she just has to understand that. No matter what rage she might have."
"She is a monster who needs to be locked up." Raven piped up from the doorway from the kitchen.
I don't know what I expected but Draven smacking her across the face wasn't it. Raven blinked twice before the tears started to fall down her cheeks. I couldn't blame him for doing it. That girl had a mouth on her that would get her into trouble sooner rather than later. She just stood there looking at him then turned to look at the door where Natalia was standing. Her eyes where a slight pink color, which meant she wasn't holding on to her anger very well.
"Raven if you hate us so much maybe you should go out on your own. To see just how great you have it with us. You will have to get a job to pay for all the things that I give you! Not to meantion you would have to figure out how to get blood to drink without hurting a human. You want to throw things into our faces. Mostly my face, I am done with it. I am done with fighting you at every turn. You think you are so grown up then get out. I am sick of having to gaurd my heart aganist your venom." Nat told her with a calm that didn't go with the color of her eyes. "If you go, you are cut off. Meaning no money, no phone, no computer. Everything that we have given you stays here. The clothes you can take, but nothing else. If you think that I will just keep letting you do this to us."
Ravens tood there sniviling as she looked at her mother and father. Her hand on her cheek where her father smacked her. I didn't see it coming, none of this. They had finally had enough of her shit and showed her it. I knew that she was still young, but she wanted to act like a adult then she would deal with what it means. Her whol body was shacking as she looked toward the door then to her parents. Lucien had walked in right after Draven smacked her. I knew that he didn't want to take sides. He stood there looking between them lost as to what to say or do.
"Lucien are you going to pick?" Raven called out to her twin.
"He doesn't have to pick between us. If he would like to go with you that is fine. He has always tried to back you and you put him in the middle. That isn't how this works. Family shouldn't act like this, not know or ever." Nat told her then looked toward Lucien. "I won't be upset if you need to be with your twin. You two have a bond that we can't understand."
Raven didnt understand why they always did this. Put Lucien aganist her, but when she looked at him she could see it wasn't them but her.
