Kayden

Knowing that my father would try anything to get me to go after him, I stand my ground. It takes all I must keep my cool as he puts his filthy hands-on Ellie. The things he says only makes it worse.

Moyra, has no such luck, the second that filth leaves his mouth she runs towards him. I go to call out to her, wanting her to stop, but it's too late. Connor jumps in front of my father, and it's as though her entire body freezes in fear.

Ellie's screams are what sends me over the edge. Springing to action, I move so fast I'm in front of Moyra before she has a chance to stop. Being almost nose to nose with Connor, I convey everything to him with only my eyes.

You lay one hand on her; I'll end you here and now. He must have heard me because a growl works its way up his throat, as he steps back to his position. I'm only a few feet from my father, but I know I must keep him talking. It's only a matter of time until they get here, and I'm not stupid. I know my father has more men than who was at his mansion.

"You keep your dog on a leash before I tear off his head." I say to the monster in front of me.

My fingers are twitching, I'm so close to Ellie, but I know if I reach for her he'll hurt her before I get her into my body. I'm not a fool, I know how my father works. Looking down at my Ellie, I can see the fear on her tear-streaked face. It guts me like a knife.

Hey baby you with me?

Uhuh, I was so afraid. He was going to touch my mother again.

I will not let that happen. He won't harm her in that way again.

I know. Kayden?

Yeah baby?

I'm scared. I don't know how we will get out of this. Your father is psychotic. The things he told me about the past. She looks into my eyes with so much sorrow.

I don't know how you survived. How you turned into the great man you are today. Caring and loving towards everyone that stands behind you. Protecting me all my life.

Smiling at her I tell her, I had an amazing mother baby. Who even though she lived in Hell, always showed me kindness, how to treat others, and what love really is?

She smiles back at me; I wish I could have met her.

She would have loved you. You remind me a lot of her. You have her spirit.

"Are you two finished! Just because we cannot hear you doesn't mean we don't know that you're having a private conversation." My father cuts in.

"Besides what ever you're telling her, is wrong. No one can save her from me now not even you." The monster gives a devilish smile.

Before I can say a word to the monster himself, there are men walking out of the trees from behind him. My father watches my face, gouging for a reaction. I keep it neutral, showing no emotion. I won't give him the satisfaction.

When I see the two men leading the group, I jump back to Joshua and Tony. I'm holding onto Joshua's arm making sure he doesn't move from his spot. As Martin holds Tony, who has murder in his eyes. When they get to my father, they nod to him, and smile at their sons.

"If it isn't my disappointment. You're looking disheveled." Bernard says to Tony.

Making Martin must put both arms around his body. Tony is now thrashing to get loose. He's been waiting many years for this moment. Ever since his own father killed his younger sister right in front of him. Which is why five years ago we had to take his youngest sister and hide her. Couldn't let him hurt another innocent, that is sadly his own flesh and blood.

Leonard doesn't say a thing, just stands as still as a statue staring at his son. That's one things Joshua has in common with his father. Their both quiet creatures. When they do speak, it's usually important. Too bad Leonard chose the wrong side.

"Now this is a party." My father cackles like a hyena.

"I knew this was going to be good, but even I surprise myself." He has pride in his eyes.

"There are no bounds to your crazy is there Luther." My brother Mason says.

"That's father to you, show some fucking respect." Our father spats.

"You don't deserve their respect. Not really. A father is supposed to love and cherish his children. You do none of that. You produced your sons for your own wants. You are a despicable human being, and a disgrace to all Fae kind."

My father looks stunned. For those words didn't come from any one of us, but from behind him. He turns his head and looks at the boy who spoke. The boy who, though afraid, looks the monster in the eyes.

"My father was extraordinary. He loved me despite all my flaws. He knew of my demons and helped me work through them. Granted I fell back to bad habits when my parents died, but before then he showed me what a real man was." His eyes go to the angel in my fathers' arms.

He smiles at her, "He fell in love with this one immediately. There was no question of whose daughter she was. He and my mother would do anything for her. They not once made her feel like she didn't belong."

He takes a step toward Ellie, "I'm sorry sister. I failed you so much these last few months." Keith looks down at his feet.

"It's okay Keith. I never once hated you for any of this. It would have happened one way or another. It's my destiny." Ellie holds out her hand.

"Isn't this touching." My father sneers.

"You listen here boy, you keep your thoughts to yourself. What you think doesn't matter. You're nothing but a coward. You're less then the dirt under my feet do you hear me." Luther moved closer to him.

Ellie is now touching his head, pleading with her eyes for him to look at her. "Shut your filthy mouth. You know nothing of my brother." She says fiercely into my father's face.

Knowing how Luther is, my feet are moving before I realize what I'm doing. Afraid he's going to hit her because of the way she spoke to him. I will not let that happen. I'll be sure to get to her first, before he even has a chance to raise his hand.

Before I can finish my thought, Keith lifts his head. He looks right into Ellies eyes, after a moment hers go wide. I'm not sure what she sees in his face, but it cannot be good. She opens her mouth to speak, but before she can her mother says, "I won't fail you anymore."

He lifts his hand, that holds a small knife, and slashes my father's face before anyone can make a move. Luther drops his arm, and presses his hand to his face, freeing Ellies arm. She grabs Keith and they run toward me; my father's men are already moving. My people behind me are yelling, and everyone clashes.

I reach for Ellie and throw her behind me just as Connor comes up from behind her. Using all the power I have I raise out my hands and the force of my power has him flying backwards landing on his ass.

He quickly gets up from his position on the ground, reaches my father and they begin to run in the other direction. Oh no you don't. You're not running and getting away this time. I race after them, hearing Ellie's small voice call out my name.
