Chapter 15
The Flames cont.
“You ok little one?” I ask Hennessy as she has finally fallen to sleep. After London passed out Hennessy cried for a little before Jameson used his power to put her to sleep. At least now I can spend time with Hennessy and check for myself that she is ok.
“I sad” Hennessy says. I know that she is only four years old but sometimes I wish she would speak more. I know that she can. Hennessy is incredibly smart but even just after four years she is hesitant to show her strength, another thing that I wish I could make our so-called mother pay for but I guess I will have to settle for making the twit suffer greatly.
“Why, it is not like mother was ever kind to us. Plus, Twit hates us. Why are you so sad?” I ask while making the flames dance around the room. One thing I learnt when Hennessy was quiet young was that she hates the dark so I always make sure that she is kept in the light.
“Mother dead, Skky tried to hurt me. I failure” Hennessy mutters looking at the dancing flames. There have been so many times that I have wanted revenge for what they have done to my beautiful caring girl but I knew that Hennessy wasn’t ready for that part of me to come out and if she ever found out that I had done something to them she would never forgive herself.
I say herself simply because she is always compassionate to others and she would see my vengeance as a slight on her part.
“Mother” Hennessy mutters but doesn’t say any more. I watch as she toddles off and play with the flames not speaking or making any noise. There is no laughter today, no squeals of delight nothing I know that I dislike the noise but I wish she would make some.
“I know little one” I say while I watch her play and be a kid, something that the last four years has not offered her.
I can hear the conversation out in the living room as Hennessy plays. I perk up once the twit walks through the door.
“Skky take a seat” Tito says. As the head of the family, he is always courteous to everyone but when he talks to Skky his patience always slips after a time.
“Why are we here?” Skky says as she takes the seat.
“We have Hennessy asleep in the other room and wanted to talk to you” Jameson says while watching Skky like a hawk. Ever since the first attempt at killing us the others have always been reluctant to allow her close to us. I am forever grateful for that as every time she gets close, I want to rip her head off and stuff it down our mother’s throat.
“Skky when was the last time you were at moms?” Tennessee asks.
“Few weeks” Skky says
I listen as the heart rate has a minor blip but then continues on like nothing has happened, I listen as the forced breathing picks up like she is making a show of the lie she just told which I know that she is. It was I know that she was there a few days ago when she tried to kill us, I know that she had a scheme going on with our mother that involved someone in the Royal family.
“Skky, mom is dead. She was murdered” London says with little to know emotion. I listen as the twit screams and cries. No one offers comfort the only thing that I hear as I watch Hennessy shimmer a little as the noise almost wakes her up.
“Be quiet Hennessy is asleep” Tennessee, London and Jameson bark at Skky.
“W..What?” Skky stutters
“Hennessy is asleep so shut up” Tennessee barks again. While Tennessee wasn’t the brightest bulb in the store but loyalty was something that Tennessee had a lot of for Hennessy and he didn’t care who he pissed off when it came to protecting her. I liked that about him.
“Screw her” Skky snarls
“What you mouth” London barks back
“Shut up Skky, Hennessy is just a baby” Jameson says, I can hear the utter sound of disgust in his voice. He is another one that doesn’t tolerate much of the Twit’s crap.
“Tito, do you hear…” Skky starts but is cut off by Tito’s angry growl
“Be quiet, Hennessy has been through enough without having to be woken up by you” Tito says.
I can’t see her dislike but I can feel it and it almost makes me giddy. I like when our family treats her like shit. It is no less than the lying little twit deserves.
“Why do you protect her so much London, I’m your sister too” Skky mutters. I snort which gains Hennessy’s attention briefly before she continues to play.
“Difference is that I actually love Hennessy. I barely tolerate you” London snaps.
“Anyway, we found mom a few hours ago and she has been murdered in the most graphic and painful way. I have called the authorities and we are waiting for an official report” Tito says
“Hennessy was covered in blood and hiding when we found her” Jameson relies.
“Of course she was” Skky mutters. I know that the others believe that the comment was due to her hiding and not protecting their mother but I knew it was because that the twit failed to kill her.
“You are a btch Skky” Tennessee says. I hear the chair scrape back and his boots stomping towards the bedroom
“Let me know when the btch is gone” Tennessee snaps.
“Are you seriously not going to comfort me, we just lost our mother Tennessee” Skky yells. I hear a ferocious roar and then the cabin settles.
“The difference is while these guys might like you or tolerate you. I can’t stand you. I hate you Skky and if it wasn’t for Hennessy and the other constantly begging me not to be mean to you then I would gladly have nothing to do with you. Now shut you bloody mouth before I rip your foot off and sick it so far down your throat that you will sht your shoe out” Tennessee snarls.
