Chap 7 Disturbing Relevations

Third POV

Lucien and Elijah stood there holding on to each other as Lucien calmed down. They finished dinner and moved to Elijah's study for further discussion on Lucien's future. Being back in Elijah's study brought a small smile to Lucien's face. The roaring fire in the hearth was the place to be in winter with a pot of hot chocolate and fixings for smores, a few books of their choice and cozy blankets. The days where they would lie down and read on the couch and especially naps and cuddles. Those were the days they had spent together before drifting apart due to Kain. It was still full of the warmth that they both cherished as children.

Elijah walked to his mahogany desk which Lucien noticed was full of knick knacks and souvenirs but what caught his eye was something he hadn't seen in a long time. It was a picture of the two of them as kids with their mom and dad, Leon and Ilya Fabbri. Both looked quite a picture with their looks but something about the picture niggled him.

As he stared at the picture, he did not notice Elijah walk up to him. "Ah, that picture was from when we went on a family trip to the countryside". Lucien nodded absently. He began to feel more bothered as he looked at the picture. Elijah looked up from the bunch of papers he was shuffling through to see the bothered expression Lucien was wearing looking at the picture he had on his desk.

" Is there something about the picture that is bothering you, Lucien ?" Elijah couldn't help but ask. " It's just that I don't remember nor have any memory regarding this trip ". Lucien told. A red flag went up in Elijah's head upon hearing the answer from Lucien. Like Lucien, he also had the same issue. They both looked at each other and knew that something was wrong with this.

They both took another look at the picture and that is when they both had the same relevation to what they just saw. They drew a blank as they couldn't recall the trip. Elijah couldn't help but notice something else and this made him go pale and he collapsed to his knees.

Lucien instinctively caught Elijah and sank into the carpet. " Eli, what's wrong ? Are you okay ? Did you get hurt ? ". Lucien asked

" ...them" muttered Elijah. "What did you just say ?" questioned Lucien. Elijah took a deep breath and turned to Lucien.

"We don't look like them at all except for the eyes as they are the same as father's". Lucien was stumped.

Looks like today is the night of disturbing relevations.
