Edgar tells the truth
I didn't know what he was thinking, but he was stuck to the TV. It was rather funny to see a bird in love with cartoons. I couldn't help myself but laugh at him. I caught myself laughing and figured out that I hadn't really laughed much in my life. It wasn't like didn't want to laugh, it was more that anger had taken over my life. My mother and father would be here sooner than later. I would rather have later to be honest. I looked at my phone seeing a text from Lucien. He was going to come to the house to see me. I wasn't sure I was really ready to see him, but I knew I loved him. At least he didn't say he would bring mom or dad with him.
"Who is that?" Edgar pecked at the phone.
"My twin brother." I told him with a smile.
"Hmm looks like trouble." Edgar cawed as he turned back to the TV.
"Lucien, no way. He is the best of the two of us. I was trouble not him." I tell him with a half smile. "He is coming to the house."
"Oh great another fucking vampire, that I want to peek his eyes out." Edgar grumbled as he looked at the TV.
I didn't think for a moment that he would harm me. Not sure about my brother or anyone else that might come into the house. I moved out of the living room to grab a book from my room. When I came back to the living room my mother was standing there glareing at Edgar. I went on the defense as I ran to Edgar. He hoped up on my shoulder glaring at my mom.
"Wait, you know the bird?" Mom stood looking shocked.
"Yes, why the hell would I let a bird into the house other wise." I yelled at her feeling that normal anger take a hold of me.
"Nice to see you haven't change a bit." Mom looked sad, crushed under the anger I poured on her. "Lucien couldn't come without one of us. I was able to drive him."
I didn't say anything else to her, she turned going out of the house not looking back again. Luicen came into the house a moment later with a frown on his face. I knew that he was upset that I had hurt mom again. When he saw the bird he did the same thing mom did, wanting to get it out of the house.
"Your brother is as stupid as I thought." Edgar stompped his foot. "I can say that you are a mean vanpire though. You crush that woman."
With that he flew to the couch again. Watching the cartoons on the screen. Lucien looked from Edgar to Raven with a shocked look on his face. I didn't know what to say to him, nor could I stop the crushing weight of guilt with the way I just treated my mother. I looked from Edgar to Lucien then to the door. I wouldn't go to her, no I wouldn't.
"Did that bird just talk?" Lucien asked as he sat on the chair watching Edgar. "That is freaking amazing. What's your name?"
"Yes stupid I can. My name is Edgar. Thanks for asking." Edgar didn't look at Lucien when he spoke.
"Lucien why didn't you tell me mom was bringing you over." I asked my dispear was starting to show.
"Didn't know it would matter. She wanted to see you since you have been gone for so long." Lucien told me as he looked at the TV. "Oh I love this old cartoons."
I stood there for the frist time in my life feeling the weight of what my anger did to others. It was strange that it just came on when Edgar told me I was horrible to my mother. It wasn't like I wanted to harm her, it was more that I couldn't figure out what it was about her that pissed me off. When I looked at Lucien and Edgar I could see they were both watching cartoons. Maybe she should just sit down and watch with them or read the book I had in my hand. For some reason I couldn't move from the spot I stood in. It was like I was stuck in that moment. Hearing my words over and over again in my mind.
"Did you turn into a staute over there?" Lucien asked when he looked toward me.
"I-I can't seem to move." I told him, it wasn't l was being held aganist my will. It was more that I was stuck in that moment when Edgar said I had crushed my mother.
"That isn't like you. What is going on with you?" Lucien asked sitting up on the couch.
"She can't handle the fact that she crushed her mother. From what I understand she does it often. Sooner or later your mother will stop caring." Edgar told them as he flew up and landed on her shoulder. "I would know, I did it to my mother."
I looked at him in shock. He could recall his mother but not how long he had been a bird. I looked to Lucien who seemed shocked by what he said. No one had put it that way to me. Maybe if they had I might have changed sooner. I am still not sure that I could change who I am. The trouble was how do I change? How do I get rid of the anger that seemed to live in my heart and soul. My mother had never done anything to me to make me this mad, but for some reason I just couldn't let it go. Everyone thought I was hateful and I didn't know for sure how to deal with that. I loved my family, but I only seemed to treat my mother like shit. Why? It was the thing that rattled around in my head for years now.
"That is one way to put it." Lucien looked at me like he never thought of putting it that way.
"You have seen it?" I was pissed off at the fact he never thought to say it that way.
"Who hasn't seen the way you treat her?" Lucien didn't look at me when he spoke. "I will always love you because your my twin."
I screamed making Edgar fly off my shoulder to land on the couch by Lucien. They both looked at me like I had grown another arm. I threw the book across the room as I ran out of the house into the night. I wasn't sure where I would go or how long I would go but I knew that I couldn't stay there right now. Mom had left right after dropping Lucien off. So I didn't run into her. I just ran and ran until I felt the sun start to come up. I was terrified to be in the sun because I didn't know if I would just go up in smoke. I found a cave to rest in until the sun went down.
