Chapter 30 (repost + longer)

“And we’ve – you’ve ­– been struggling for the last two years,” I whispered harshly.

“Exactly, but we’re on an island with them, when we see them what do you want me to do? Run inside with the children? Punish them – Tia and Cole? We’re taking away from them,” she uttered imploringly, her head shaking, as she took a bite.

“So you want my parents to meet Tia and Cole?” I asked her straight out, taking a sip of water, as she sat quietly. She nodded, “Yeah… I know that they kidnapped you, but their reasons were sound, how they went about it, it can’t be undone. What is holding a grudge going to get you Walter?”

“My father… he killed my mother… that is a reason to keep someone from our children. What your parents did… I would like to think we wouldn’t do something like that to our children, but my mother did that with me. We never stayed one place for too long, she would uproot me time after time again. For a while I hated it, I was angry with her because after a while I realized this wasn’t normal, dressing me, as a boy for most of my life wasn’t typical behavior. Then, I watched the reason we were running, kill my mother and I understood…” she swallowed her voice hoarse, “Before – everything I would say I was never going to have children or I was never going to live like my mother did, and guess what? That is all I’ve done Walter… for different reasons...” her eyes wet.

“Tia has more ‘boy’ clothes than girls, more blues than pinks because they were cheaper, and I could dress Cole in them as well…” she shrugged, “I know it’s different I was a child and you were nineteen years old, but – but wouldn’t you do anything to protect Cole and Tia?” her words cutting me deeply, because I would do anything for them, for her now.

Chelsea POV

I sat back stunted, 'For My Children,' written on one of the three rolled scrolls and four other elemental rings were right there. Anya had all the rings to begin with, reaching to touch them, my hand stilled before I could make contact. I didn’t understand, she had them? Knew where they violins were and Albert just killed her? I – I – what? Why was she killed? They could have surely tortured her to death until she gave them what they wanted, right? It just didn’t – I huffed. Then the note that said; 'For My Children,' how did she know one of her children would be the ones to get this thing open?

The three words taunting me, I bit my lip tuning everything out, I picked it up, not sure what to expect.

It was the thickest scroll out of the three, removing the wax seal I rested back wondering if I should wait until Oakley and Ben were with me, my fingers though, were already unrolling the scroll.

My dearest children, if you are reading this then distemper or the distracted have surely done away with me. I would prefer that I had been the one to tell you all these things but there is much that I have to tell you and while I am safe with the current pack Luna and Alpha I am taking the time to write to you all the things you will need. I suspect that you’ve seen or been told about Greta and Zeke by me, or they’ve found you, or maybe you’ve stumbled upon the truth.

I was born Florina Bellamy Ambeu, daughter of the King and Queen, we lived guarded and my father trusted the wrong people and as such my family – brothers and sisters as well – all met an untimely death. I know it may be hard to believe but I was taken before I was fully gone, a woman came to me in a dream like place, and sent me back as one of the very people that took the life of family. I had things to do, a purpose to help The Chosen One, and you my children will help him or her succeed; with this scroll are two others, they contain the music as well as the Elemental Rings.
