Eagle Crest Hallows [4]

Logan

I smile again at this. "Of course I'll mentor you. But you do not owe me," I state, "And you'll have to get used to my sister asking questions twenty-four-seven if you were to be around me..." I say.

Tyler

I nod at this and flash my own smile, "Let that be my payback then. Thank you for this, Master Logan."

Logan

I shake my head and chuckle, "Don't call me that," I warn. "Anything but that."

Tyler

I nod and look back at the stars, "As you wish. What would you prefer?"

Logan

I smile. "Logan, just Logan," I say, standing. "Can I introduce you to my family?"

Tyler

I flash a smile and stand, "I...They will not hear my voice - I'm afraid speech is sacred to me - but, yes, I would."

Logan

I nod before leading him in, going to my father first. "Dad, this is Tyler," I introduce.

Tyler

I shake his father's hand and bow in respect, smiling politely.

"I have one question for you," he says, "Who exactly is your father?"

As if on cue, Dad appears beside Tahlia. He checks her vitals before nodding at me.

"Gem made an appearance," he says, "Thought I'd check in."

I nod back at him, getting the message.

"And, yes, Jace, I would be the answer to your question," he sighs, "You can wipe the shock off your face now. You tamed Rayah and I - "

Thunder crackles from above and he smirks.

"Will not be finishing that sentence," he finishes, "See you all later. Behave, Tyler. Your mother and I have too much to worry about to think of what you and your sister are getting into."

With that, he disappears.

"I'm going to go die again," Logan's father says, "Never in my life would I have thought the silent follower would be Gemini's match."

He shakes his head and walks off, distant.

Logan

I chuckle at my dad and walk into the kitchen, seeing my mom...trying to cook.

"Ugh! It's not working!" She says, trying to turn on the stove. I sigh and walk over to it, pressing the 'on' button.

She sighs and shakes her head, "I give up," She mutters.

"Mom this is Tyler," I say.

She looks at Tyler and holds out her hand. "Nice to meet you."

Tyler

I politely smile and nod, shaking her hand. I bow of respect afterwards too, not wanting to be seen as discriminatory.

Logan

He bows and she flashes a smile. "You don't need to do that," she chuckles, putting a pot on the stove.

I nod and wave goodbye before thinking. We gotta go before she lights this place on fire...

I make my way to Riley's room and knock on the door. "Open up!"

Tyler

I follow Logan, wondering how many other relatives he had. I glance down the stairs at Tahlia as we wait before a door.

Logan

Riley opens the door, obviously pissed off, her boyfriend beside her. I sigh and introduce them. "This is Tyler," I say. She studies him before flicking her eyes to me and then back at him, holding her hand out. "Riley," She says, emotionless.

Tyler

I shake her hand and nod, smiling politely and bowing respectfully. The other figure introduces himself as Grayson, her boyfriend. I just nod at him.

Logan

Riley chuckles and looks at me with a smile, "You're so full of it," She says. I shrug.

"What do you mean?"

She just shakes her head and closes the door on us without a word. I roll my eyes and make my way to Brooklyn and Jamie outside.
