Chapter 16 - Chapter sixteen- the hidden truth

Alister

"'The new boy has finally left after hours of torture. Since he is gone it is seemingly easy to irritate my siblings Judith and Kieran. Judith and Kieran are both watching Tv. Perfect time. "You idiots! What the hell were you thinking, huh? Inviting a strange guy into our home?" 

"You said he was cute!" Judith whines. 

"When? Liar!" I snip. 

"This morning!" 

"Did I?" 

"Yes dumbo" 

"Judith and Kieran. You're both on the naughty corner with me" 

"With you" they say together. 

"Yes, since I let those stupid words out. He. Is. Not. Cute!" 

I mean. It's a lie. But they don't have to know...'" 

Nicolas smiles at me before saying "See, I love leaving you all at cliff-hangers." 

He watches Jenna as she begins to see Caidee as her mother, I take his hand as he cries without tears. He had given up the one human in his life that cared for him as he cared for her, yet he wasn't her real father, no matter how you put it. 

I smile as his grip tightens on mine. The thought of him losing someone he cared about hurts me, though he'd still get to see her. 

The thought of the Kingdom of the North being defeated by this group of people crying over a little story if very pathetic on the kingdom. 

Nicolas' smile fades and he looks at Caidee "only you know the truth Caidee and you know it's killing me to keep going"
