The Omnipotent

Chapter 12: Help to the Rescue?

"I've been thinking about those letters and something just isn't adding up," Drax comments as he stands in my room. I look up from my aimless scribbling and look at my deep in thought twin.

"What do you mean?"

"Well nowhere in those letters did it say-" My bedroom door was forced opened and our furious parents step inside the room.

"Both you, our office now." My father demanded before they both left out of the room. Drax and I shared looks, what did we do now? We followed behind them hesitantly but heard footsteps behind us. I turned to find Gaia right behind.

"What's this all about?" I question

"I don't know. We didn't do anything."

"At least I think we didn't," Drax comments once we turn the corner and enter our father's office. Our mother, father, and uncle are stood by the desk with their arms crossed and anger written plainly on their faces. The door was shut behind us by the staff.

"Do any of you want to tell us why you skipped school today, to go snooping around in the human faction?" Father said. How on earth did they find that out?

"How did you-"

"Nevermind how we know, we just do. Now tell us why?" Uncle Jace cuts in

"We know you skipped school the first time you all went back, but we just assumed it was stress over what happened to...Alina but now it is becoming a pattern."

"We only skipped twice in these past two months."

"Actually." Uncle Jace comments as he pulls out a paper from off the desk,

"You've skipped eight times to be exact."

"Eight?!"

"Yes eight. We put you guys in that school because we thought that you guys wanted to be normal."

"We never skipped eight times. And we do want to go the school." I argue back. We never skipped eight times, I have no clue where he is getting this information from.

"You guys may be getting false information-"

"There is no false information. Alaric told us-" My mother stops as Dad and Jace shoot her a look. Alaric? Who on earth is that?

"Who is Alaric?"

"No one it's not important."

"Are getting someone to spy on us?" I question. How could they get someone to follow us like they aren't the ones being sneaky and lying about everything?!

"It doesn't matter who he is but just know that we have witnesses who placed you all at a tavern with a bunch of guys. Olivia and Gaia have no business being around so many men at once not mention drinking at such a young age."

"They're our friends, and none of them would do anything to hurt either one of us."

"Friends? Haven't you learned from the last person you "befriended" that these people could never be your friends? As much as you guys would like to be normal none of you are. Gaia is a cursed, Oliva and Drax are hybrids, and all of you have your vampire gifts. Nothing about that is normal. You all will never be normal, it's time to face the facts."

"Face the facts? You tell us to face the facts when none of you have ever faced them yourselves." Gaia shot back, and all of them looked shocked.

"Excuse me,"

"Olivia and Drax only skipped twice. The other six times were me. Your spy must have counted each time I left with our friends."
