A Demon...Or Two Just For Me Ch. 03

"Oh really?"

I looked up as Sylvia walked in, she had abandoned her school look and was wearing a knit dress and leather pants. I normally would have thought that was a cute outfit and would have asked where the owner bought it. Now I wanted answers.

"Oh you're awake, sorry about the whole abduction thing, it was then or never." she said.

"Then or never? Tell me, do you always begin your school year with an abduction? Is that why you knew when to act?"

She giggled and I frowned more.

"Christina, go and make some tea while we chat."

"Alright."

She left the room and Sylvia snapped her fingers and manifested a chair to sit on, I raised an eyebrow.

"So you're not human?"

"I'm pretty good at hiding my scent but no I'm not a human and neither are you." she said.

I stared at her.

"I am human, for now."

"No you just think you are."

"You aren't making much sense, how can I be wrong when I say what I am?"

"Because you are missing information." she smiled then.

I sighed.

"OK, I'll play along, what am I if I'm not human?"

"Half fallen angel and half demon."

She said this like we were talking about the weather, I moved away from her.

"You're mistaken...."

"You are I promise you, you just don't have a conjoined twin."

I shook my head, I knew I was awake but that didn't matter, this wasn't happening right now.

"Your father is a fallen angel and your mother is a succubus."

I stared at her, I believed her as my panic faded but I would challenge her anyways.

"If that's true then why don't I have any powers?"

"You do, but you're in your human form so obviously you can't access them, your parents are not home right now but one of them will drop the mental wall that is separating you from your birth right."

I cocked my head.

"If I belong to any type of angel and a demoness why did they leave me with the Stanleys?"

She smiled still.

"I'm afraid that is something your family will have to tell you."

................

Stefanos's POV

I couldn't decide what to feel when Nadi and Jane came running in the office and said Violetta was gone. We looked every where and couldn't find a single trace of where she had gone to, her scent faded by her second class as if she never made it there. I was beginning to panic, our mate and child were missing and there was nothing we could do about it. I called our mother and asked her to send a few lesser demons to see if they could find her or someone that smelled like her. Anything was better than nothing, she better be safe or I'll bathe in the blood of the bastard who caused her pain.

.................

Violet's POV

I toyed with the tea cup in my hand, Sylvia patted my forearm.

"I can tell you a few things about your parents if you would like to know anything, and your three older siblings as well."

I looked at her.

"Three older siblings?"

"Yes, Master Kameron is reaching his 70th birthday, Mistress Penelope is sixty-two and Master Sebastian is your twin he's older than you by an hour."

I swallowed, I had a twin? A twin brother at that, now I was really wondering how I got separated.She got up and walked into the hallway, I heard some shuffling before she returned with a portrait. She pointed them out, Kameron had short dirty blond blond hair with dark blue streaks, blue green eyes, and pale skin. Sebastian's hair was black and fell to his shoulders and he had hazel eyes. Penelope had shoulder length curly, blond hair with the same eyes and skin tone as Kameron. Sylvia smiled.

"Both you and young master Sebastian look like your mother."

"...But my hair is red..."

"In your human form it is."

She returned the portrait and came back with a second one, I could only assume this couple were my mother and father.

"Lord Desmond, and Lady Zeana and yes these are your parents."

De.....or dad's blond hair was pretty long and he kept it in a ponytail that he rested on his shoulder, he had a well trimmed goatee and strong cheek bones. Zea....or rather mother's hair was just as wild as mind, fairly curly but she wore hers a lot longer and the tips were pink. Her make up was light but in dark shades, she was just as beautiful as her husband was handsome. I felt my heart pound, it wasn't like when a human first saw his or her real parents and it was awkward, it felt like I was safe at home. All I knew was that those were my parents and I wanted to talk to them and make up for lost time.

I would make sure to get my answers, but at the current point in time I didn't even care why or how I ended up in the wrong family. Well I cared, but not as much, I really wanted to meet everyone. I glanced at Sylvia after she returned the portrait to it's place, I had a feeling she was trying to keep me company.

"Sylvia?"

"Yes young miss?"

"Why doesn't my dad have wings?"

She smiled.

"Your father gave up his wings so he could be with your mother, he use to be her guardian angel and couldn't sit by and watch her fall for someone else."

"A demoness with a guardian angel?"

"Oh yes she wanted to be human and was taking a test to prove she could handle it, she didn't have any powers or anything like that. When she finished and she found out what he did for her she decided to remain a demon so they could spend their eternity together."

I smiled slightly.

"I'm not in the human realm anymore am I?"

"Sort of, your parent's home is placed in a dense forest that is directly between the two realms."

I was about to get out of bed when my finger caught my eye, it had been bandaged.

"Wondering what I did to knock you out?" she asked.

"Yeah...the idea just now came into my head...."

"I picked thick paper and coated each page with a little potion used to put patients to sleep before surgery. I knew if you cut your finger your first reaction would be to put your finger in your mouth, everyone does that." she explained.

I smiled, and slid out of bed to walk to the window I could see a massive garden and traditional cupid fountain in the driveway. I knew from the view that I was at least on the second floor. I watched a motorcycle pull up and park by the fountain, when the driver pulled their helmet off I saw that it was Sebastian. He got off the bike and paused then looked up, despite the distant I knew he was looking at me. He ran inside, I turned toward the door and just knew he was coming to my room.

In a few moments the door opened.

"Young master, you should always knock before entering a lady's room." Sylvia said.

He glanced at her but didn't seem to care what she said, at least for the moment, he stopped in front of me and pulled me into a hug. I bit my lip as I hugged him back, I loved Stefanos and A.J. but I knew their heartbeats couldn't fall more in sync with mine than Sebastian's was doing right now. Sylvia cooed.

"Oh let me get the camera."

He huffed and turned his head to her.

"No pictures."

"But young master you haven't seen the young miss since you first opened your eyes, it's such a sweet moment." she said.

"No, in fact why don't you get out?"

She stuck her tongue out at him, I wiped my eyes and told him to be nice.

"Oh that's the first thing you say?"

He smiled warmly at me, Sylvia smiled even wider.

"Young master, your sister has had a very taxing evening she should rest."

"Your fault." I said.

She stuck her tongue out at me too.

"Your siblings will be here soon and so will your parents, young miss if you insist on staying awake at least let your brother show you around." she said.

I moved away from him to get my robe, but I was already feeling a bit weak, Sylvia told him what she didn't tell me and he promised to fill me in after the tour. Sylvia went one direction and he took me down the hall to show me the larger portraits. Kameron was actually mated and had a young son. His name was Dawson and he looked just like Kameron except his skin tone was a little darker. His mate, Anna, had a mocha tint to her skin and bright brown eyes. Her hair was auburn, Penelope stood next to Andrew in their portrait, he had pale skin and sandy blond hair their son Micheal was the perfect blend of the two.

Finally, Sebastian's portrait, he was mated to a beautiful woman with a light tan and long black hair. Her name is Claudia, they don't have any children yett we kept walking and I looked at the various pieces of art that decorated the basic brown and white hallway. He showed me the library, work out room, theatre and how to get to each bedroom. Red, black, and gold were used in the living room, and dining room and the kitchen was about the size of two of my bedrooms put together. Chrome, granite, and marble were blended tastefully to make the work of art.

I hadn't realized I was holding his hand until a scream caught our attention, we turned to see Penelope running toward us. She threw her arms around me similar to how Nadi had, but Penelope was taller and squeezed me to her chest. It was odd to have an older sister that actually liked me. She held me by my biceps and kissed my face repeatedly.

"Hey hey hey, stop sexually assaulting her." Sebastian said.

She laughed.

"Oh hush, your scent is all over her I can take her and you won't even have time to miss her."

"Penelope..."

She grinned.

"Oh baby girl it's so nice to meet you again."

I smiled at her, my heart started pounding again obviously I had seen them when I had just been born but it was still strange that her cinnamon like scent was so familiar as if I had just seen her yesterday.

"So are you going to speak to mother and father now?" she asked Sebastian.

"Maybe."

I glanced at him.

"Why weren't you speaking to them?" I asked.

"I didn't like being separated from my twin." he said simply.

"Demons respond to separation differently." Penelope added.

"But why were we separated?"

"Well, erm that's a long story." Penelope said.

"No it isn't." Sebastian said.

"Well?" I asked.

They pulled me into the library and we sat down.

"Well you know how our parents met don't you?" Penelope asked.

I nodded.

"Well, in order for them to keep their eternity they had to do a beyond average good deed as a couple. They met the Stanleys and they had a sick little girl, that you know as Katie, she needed a few transplants and her kidneys were bad she just came into the world with loads of problems. They prayed for help and our parents heard them, they asked for a child that could help cure these problems the human way. So mother and father promised to give their youngest child over just for that.

Mother was already pregnant at the time so they didn't have to wait long, then Sebastian was born mother wanted some time with him before sending him off. Just as she was getting ready to say good bye she went into labor a second time and out you came. She named you and told the Stanleys that she wanted them to keep your name. They agreed and the adoption papers were filled out for human records. After a few surgeries, Katie got better, but every once in a while she would get weak.

Mother came back for you while father showed his superiors what they had done, and then....well. Neither of them wanted to give you up for fear that Katie would relapse or something. Mother said they could keep you for one more month."

I bit my lip.

"And?"

"They found a priest, an old priest who had been taught the ways of the holy warriors of the human realm. They told him a demon was trying to take their daughter and he put up a barrier around the whole family, with a mix of talismans to prevent any of us from getting anywhere near you or them. The talismans were used when non-humans warred with humans, in a time where humans considered anything unnatural to be a demon. So the talismans and barrier were even stronger.

As long as you lived close to them and they kept you loyal in one way or the other the magic worked.When the barrier weakened we were able to track you down I'm assuming you had a fight with them in order for that to happen. When you returned to school your scent was even stronger father told Sylvia to find a way to get you and bring you home. She had to do it before one of them tried to find a way to win your favor back and the talismans and barrier regained their strength."

I swallowed as the tears appeared.

"So it's my fault I was alone...because I wanted them to love me?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Your not at fault love, every child wants the affection of their family, especially children who don't live a pampered life style. Were they nice to you?"

I sniffed and glanced at the floor, Sebastian growled.

"I see...children who get abused tend to try even harder to win their family's love." Penelope said.

I cried anyways, Sebastian hugged me, I could feel the frustration coming off of him in large waves. Penelope kissed the top of my head.

"Let me go get Kameron." she said.

"Are you crazy? He'll go on a rampage." Sebastian snapped.

"Well he should." she said.

I knew she was masking her anger as well, I wondered how our parents would respond.

.....

Sometime after Penelope left Kameron came storming into the library and picked me up like I was paper doll. He looked like an angel alright but the fire of anger that danced in his eyes could only belong to a demon. He hugged me carefully but soon held me at arms length as if examining me for injuries. Sebastian sighed.

"Brother you're scaring her." he said softly.

"Well I'm not trying to..." he replied.

I smiled, it was nice to have family angry on my behalf.

"Hello Kameron." I said.

He smiled.

"Hello little princess it's nice to see the potty trained version of you."

I smiled and he set me down, I looked up as Penelope walked in with Dawson, Micheal, Anna and Andrew. Dawson is ten and Micheal is nine so they were shy but welcomed me just as kindly as their parents. Speaking of parents, Sylvia came in and told us that mom and dad had come home. Sebastian took my hand and pulled me out into the hallway before we moved toward the living room.

They had apparently been at a fundraiser, mom was wearing a slinky red evening dress and dad had on a blood red tux that matched her outfit nicely. They paused in taking off their coats when we came into view. Mom dropped her purse and faded then appeared in front of me before pulling me into a hug. Of all the chests I had been nearly suffocated by I was sure that hers' was the biggest. She sobbed and repeatedly asked if I was me, if her baby had finally come home.

More of my life was squeezed out of me when dad wrapped his arms around her and pulled both of us close. The scent of my parents was calming, this entire mansion was calming. Somewhere in all of the excitement and the emotional power of the meeting I knew I had passed out again.

...

I woke up feeling sick, I got out of bed and went looking to see if Sylvia had taken my bag. I was relieved to see it sitting in the wardrobe, I bent down and looked for my phone of course when I found it it was dead. I sighed and thought about how I really needed a phone. I looked up as one fell in my lap I cocked my head and picked it up, all of the numbers that belonged to my family members including the ones to Stefanos and A.J.'s family were in the phone book.

I dialed A.J.'s number when he answered he sounded somewhere between miserable and tired I felt bad for getting distracted.

"Babe?"

He flipped.

"Wait wait, slow down, calm yourself I'm fine."

"How can you be fine when I don't know where you are? We have looked everywhere for you." he said.

"I'm sorry I was abducted but I really wasn't and I'm not human and now I have a twin and I'm an aunt and my parents missed me and....I'm not making any sense am I?"

"Not in the slightest, I started seeing red as soon as you said you were abducted."

I took a breath and told him that I was honestly fine and I wanted him to calm down fully and relax because I had so much to tell him.




(So I hope I filled in a good chunk of holes in the plot in this chapter. I don't know how many more chapters I'll do for this story so I hope you enjoyed this update. Also I will be looking for an editor I just really really wanted to post this chapter.)
