Chapter 425: 1-2

"How long are you going to hold this against your mother and I?" I stop walking, "You're forgiven Tom," I answer coolly, shrugging my shoulder. He nods slowly, "When - well then - maybe you could bring my grandbabies by the h-" I scoff, chuckling before stopping abruptly, making sure I look him in the eye, "No." Waiting a few beats, I finally just continue walking, leaving the four of them six feet behind me, as we continue. The truth of the matter was, I just didn't trust the Hellmanns to not hurt my family, Cole, Tia and Nora had become my whole world. It was too soon in my own opinion especially after Lynn and Greg's death. I had been here long enough to know that the Hellmanns never put blame where it was meant to be, on them selves. After an hour or so of them walking along behind me, Marlon discussing random information with them, Theo comes up closer, "You know how important family is to us-" before he could even finish that statement, he was on the ground, his nose gushing blood. "Don't tell me about how important family is Theo - where do you - any of you get off?" I shout the anger still inside me. Not even because of what I knew happened to Nora while I was here on this island living in safety. What bothered me the most was their attitude to my feelings, to what I was saying. "Family? Your mate Jenny nagged you endlessly to get me to accept Lynn, and when you couldn't do it Theo, do you remember what you did?" I didn't wait for him to answer, "You started to ignore me, and now you're talking about 'family is important?'" I couldn't believe the words he had just uttered. "All of you, pushed and pushed, and watched me get weaker and more alone than I have ever been in my whole life, because you wanted peace between them and us. All of you - Tom you and Scoria - all of you turned on me because of Lynn and now you want to what? Play happy family?" I scoffed turning around continuing to walk away. The nerve. . . . Chelsea POV After two weeks, I was currently sitting in my office, Philip Pascal in front of me, his eyes wide and wary, "Gabriel and I... well we think you're not a danger, therefore we've brought you back." He nodded, "Okay... thank you," his eyes wide and honest, Judy, he thought with such a pitiful sigh. I wouldn't tell him that we had began picking up people from the book he gave us as well as any of the people that Kieran, Liam and the other escapees thought of. "I'm letting you come back, because outside of the documents you've given us to prove your loyalty I want more." "More?" he echoed, a beat, "anything." A smile played on my lips, "I want you to tell me just how you were able to leave the Elders, you've already said that your mate was the break through but I want to know if you think it is possible for others to make the choice you've made? You had children... you left them... everything you were you left for your mate?" His eyes widened, she knows about Cecelia and Scott?How? "Well?" Swallowing, his Adams apple bobbed. "Why did you leave your child behind?" To protect Cecelia, "the woman that the Elders put me with, they wanted me to get her brother to work for them, Chase studying micro biology at Yale, top of his class, they wanted him but there was no opening, he was married and his wife was pregnant. He married right out of high school... they couldn't get to him by sending another woman... instead they sent me in to date Cecelia, and slowly convince Chase to join their objective. Before I could really get him to do that, I met Judy." I nodded, listening and taking in all I could from his words, "I'm not a horrible guy but - I didn't have a choice, not really. If I would've taken Scott, Cecelia and Chase, they're human, they wouldn't have just let it go, and I knew that the minute the Elders thought they'd make a scene, they'd just eliminate the threat." His bottom lip shook, "I love my son, I do and I think of him all the time-" "Cecelia died."
