Losing all

Kael looked down at his hand where his mother held him, and strangely...

It felt strange.

No warmth, like he never knew her. Like this was the first time they were meeting each other.

"Kael... love," Yvonne Valois spoke, even though her eyes were shaking. The woman wasn't stable.

Kieran Valois stepped forward, "Won't you tell him now? Let's tell him, maybe he'll want to leave. And we'll be safe."

Kael shifted his attention from his mother and settled it on his father. Did he always have this face? Kael didn't recognize the face either.

"Kael, the truth is that your mother arrived at my doorstep," Kieran paused, feeling a little sick. He shook his head, and when he faced Kael, one of his eyes was missing.

"His eye!" The little girl screamed out in horror, going to hide behind Kael while still holding her bleeding neck.
