They got to the tree faster than they thought and upon seeing the tree Liam remembered how the tree played an important role in his life ,it was his entire childhood . He moved closer and laid his head on its bark and closed his eyes as if the tree was whispering to him all the secret it knew , Ashanti and Adolfo were quiet as they watched their friend .
"Liam ," a voice said .At first Liam thought that i was one of his friends but the voice persisted and it was tiny and powerful .Liam opened his eyes and he was in a new place his friends nowhere to be seen , he looked around the place and he saw two people sitting on a bench smiling towards him .
"Adolfo ...Ashanti !!" He screamed as he looked around desperate to see them but they were no where to be seen .The place was a normal park that didn't look abnormal or mystic it was clam and the cool breeze made the atmosphere nostalgic .The trees had leaves which were green or brown both a mixture and sometimes one of the two .The two people walked towards Liam , "Liam ,"the woman said ,she had a beautiful smile and the breeze made her scent hit Liam's face and her scent was hypnotizing it was like drowning yourself in freshly washed baby clothes .Her eyes were pure and shiny like a small babies eyes when they see something that brings great joy to them ,the man was one fair man ,he had a beard and long hair .His facial features were very peculiar and up to standard ,his jaw line visible and strong but overall his smile was hypnotizing just like the women's .He had a great aura and his scent was mystical you could not put a finger on which scent he really had it was a mixture of all the scents you could think about .
"Who are you?" Liam asked moving backwards ,away from them just to be on the safe side.
"For now that is not important ,you need to know more about yourself we do not have enough time come with me ,"the woman said getting a hold of his hand and pulling him to follow her as she walked towards the bench. "Listen to the story we are about to tell you without interrupting," the woman added as she sat slightly facing him .
"What story ?" Liam asked confused .
"Your story Liam ," the man said as he sat next to him.
"Your mom was one of our servants ...she was loyal and she did her work with great diligence and resilience. Just like any other girl she fell in love with a man and that man happened to be the son of a not so good family . They were werewolves but not ordinary ones -Not that being a werewolf is ordinary .They both pursued each other and after some few years got married ,your mom became pregnant but with twins ...her mother-in-law was not so happy and she never missed a chance to make her know it."
"Twins??!" Liam exclaimed . The woman smiled and nodded slightly.
"Your mother didn't feel safe anymore she felt like everyone was out to get her so she decided to come back to us for protection but that didn't help ease her anxiety instead it got worse day by day .She discovered that she was carrying twins and when she was 8 months pregnant she suddenly just went crazy and started attacking people she even attacked children and mistakenly killed one of them but she did not stop there she took a scissors and stabbed herself right in the stomach ,we helped her quickly to give birth immediately but one twin was badly injured and she had to leave immediately as her in-laws were out for her kids' blood so she took the other and left the other thinking he would die eventually but he survived and that is Keeyah your twin brother ," the man said .
Liam was shocked and speechless he tried processing the information but every time it reloaded, "I ...I have..ha..ve a twin brother ?" he finally asked .
"Yes Liam just know that no mater how much you search you will never find him only one person can find him for you but that person can find your twin brother when the time is right after everything has been set right ,she will lead you to him ...to where he is," the man said looking at Liam in the eyes .
"Where was my father ?" Liam asked.
"He was killed ," the woman said as her eyes turned dark .
"Killed ?By who ?" Liam asked shifting his gaze to the woman in search of answers .
"Someone made a deal with the devil and someone had to pay ," the man answered Liam
"You now know where you are from ...but it's not the entire truth we are only here to tell you the truth before your birth you will need this information for the journey you will thread upon be careful for it won't be an easy one," the man said and stood up along with the woman .
"Your mom might have done some things before and our people might not forgive her but you will not pay for her sins ," the woman said as she held his cheek ,her hands were warm and when she touched him Liam felt light like he was on top of the world floating freely. Both the man and woman walked away and left Liam standing there by the time he came back to his senses they were gone .
Liam opened his eyes and he was back from his dream ,he moved away from the tree and he turned around and saw his friends sitting on the ground staring at him ,"Liam you are awake !" Ashanti said as he stood up walking closer to his friend Adolfo stood up soon after and they both stood in front of their friend who looked like he had the world's biggest problems on his shoulders .At least Liam knew about his past and Ashanti and Aife were unfolding some bits and pieces about themselves .As the journey continues we will finally iron out everything and set everything straight every rollercoaster ride has its highs and lows and its twist and turns but when it is over you will realize that without the highs and lows the twists and turns it is not a rollercoaster ride after all.
