Eagle Crest Hallows [4]

Logan

I look up at what she says and my lightning strikes right next to her, "Don't say that," I threaten. "You're no better. So cocky of yourself you don't realize he might actually like you on the inside. You're siblings for hells sake, get along," I say, seriously annoyed.

Tyler

I watch, half annoyed by Tahlia's words and half amused at everything else that's coming. I do nothing, say nothing.

I speak to Mom and Dad. Just not you, sister. You aren't worthy.

Tahila

"Stay out of this Logan! This is between me and him!" I said.

I walked up to Tyler, he sneers at me and then my anger gets the best of me as I punch him straight to the jaw. He staggers back, as I kick his knees in bringing him down. I kick him in the arse as he falls forward.

"Come on mute, talk already!" I said.

Logan

That's it.

A lightning storm crosses over us and I stare her dead in the eyes, shaking my head. "Pity. So full of yourself you take it out on you're family. I feel sad for you. Someday little girl, you'll walk into Olympus and all people will do is sneer," I smirk. "Good luck with life if you're hurting the ones you love inside," I shake my head at her, lightning striking outside.

Tyler

I push myself to sit and close my eyes, focusing. After Logan's speech, I twitch my fingers and spell out what I can't say with the lightning Tahlia can't control.

I will not heed your command. You are not my parent. Mom and Dad will not like what you have done here.

Tahila

I didn't know who I hated more at this point Logan or Tyler, they were both pissing me off. Yet somehow my heart hurt greatly, maybe it was to reconize the fact that Logan was right. But I pushed forward trying to contain my emotions as a thunderstorm was rolling in overhead. I kicked Tyler across the face as I was trying to force him to talk for once, before I could draw closer to him to deal further damage a thunderclap struck between me and him. And from it came a glowing golden figure stepped forth, she sneared at me as I could tell she was angery.

"I've had just about enough for you Tahila! You strike your brother time and again and gloat that your the strongest on Olympus. It is time for your punishment." She said.

"Mom wait! Don't please!" I plea for mercy.

She picks me up by my shirt and holds me there, but soon she punches me repeatedly across the face. I hit the ground hurting greatly. I turn and get to my knees but soon I feel a foot hit me in the back of the head. I go down again.

Logan

I didn't know what to do, feeling somewhat sorry for her...

"STOP!" I yell, lightning striking repeatedly. "No need for this. Why can't you people just get along! Like my mom said- life isn't worth living if all you're going to do is live with regrets. So just please.." I take a deep breath. "Calm down."

Everyone stops and stares at me. I start to feel awkward and shift on my let foot. "Please?"

Tyler

Yelling at Mom...This kid isn't so wise after all.

I wipe the blood from my face and glance back at my sister, not daring to look either her or my mother in the eyes. My heart hanging heavy in my chest, I glance back at Logan, thankful for his intervention.

Gemini

Tahila goes down as I go to Logan meeting him on equal terms, I breath deeply. as I try to control my anger from Tahila.

"Logan, from now on when my daughter acts up, I want you and your sister to kick to crap out of her. I've had enough of her hitting her brother and she needs to know how it feels to be picked and phyically beat." I order him.

Logan

My eyes widen at what she says and I shake my head. "No," I shake my head. "Kill me. I don't care. But there's no way in hell I'm going to do that," I sigh, looking at the floor.

Tyler

I check my sister's pulse, knowing my mother wouldn't have killed her, but having to ease my subconscious's doubts. Relieved with the throbbing, I stand and take my place by the door again. Mom says nothing more, disappearing. I swallow and motion for Logan to follow me, wiping the blood from my lips again.

Logan

She dissapears and I catch Tyler motioning me towards him. I flash a smile before walking towards him, leaning against the doorway as he does.

Tyler

I take a deep breath and decide to lead him onto the porch, not wanting to be anywhere that Tahlia could possibly hear.

"Thank you," I whisper, my back to him as I look out at the stars, "I owe you now."

Logan

He thanks me and I smile, taking place beside him but keeping my distance. "You don't owe me," I whisper back, picking at the grass. "I just did what my father said was always right."

Tyler

I glance at him, "I do owe you, whether you believe so or not. Your father is a wise man. Perhaps, if you wouldn't mind the burden, you could mentor me. We are the same, nearly at least. There are things you know that I wish to discover. I believe I was brought here for a better reason than checking in on my sister."
