After dinner Ax took Daisy and her dog outside. I sat thinking. I then opened my book and wanted to write. I hobbled over and filled one of my quills with ink and copied the poem Mabel gave me down.
What could it mean. How was I going to save him and what is my heart?
One thing for sure I needed to get to know more about Ax. The better I know him the faster I might be able to figure this out.
When they came back Daisy went to have a bath and get ready for bed. Ax sat down close to me so I put my book down to talk. I decided to lay my head in his lap as we talked.
"I've been thinking." I say smiling up at him.
"About what?" he asked.
"About what we talked about. Fate making us fated love or what ever."
"And what about it?" He was now staring into my eyes.
"I want to get to know you better before I say yes or no to all this. I want to be honest and let you in my life also. Can you do that?" I asked. Jake is now snuggled in my arms.
"Yes, anything you want." he says.
"Ok first question, What was your favorite thing to do as a kid?"
"That is an easy one. Torture my brother and sisters by making my brother do things to them. Henry was easy to push and so was Anna. I could not push Cindy since she was an Oracle. The biggest prank I pulled was having Henry hide my sister's bunny in the flour barrel. It got me grounded for two weeks. I got punished alot but it was worth it back then. I guess that is why I have such good control over my power now and don't need Anna's help."
"Did you have a pet?"
"Yes, I had a pet rabbit. His name was Mr. Fart. It drove my sister Anna crazy. I also had my horse thunder. You seen him on the day we met."
"Did you ever have a girlfriend?"
"That is a trick question. Jillian was a girl and she was my bestfriend. But no I never had what you call a normal girlfriend. Many girls confessed to me. But none of them felt right. Next question." He said.
"What is your favorite food?" I asked.
"That is easy, my fathers fried chicken with garlic potatoes and his homemade bread. My father Robert is the best cook around. Is it my turn to ask now?"
"My favorite thing to do as a kid was sitting around the fire with the old men and listen to the tales they told. My favorite was how the Queen saved the land from the Duke. I never had a pet. There was never enough food for me and Daisy so never thought of finding a pet. I had a girlfriend once. Her dad hated me and sent her away to live with relatives. He was a regular visitor to my mom. My favorite food is anything warm. It did not matter what it was. Most of the time we ate what I could steal and it was usually cold. Any other question for you?"
"Why did you become a thief?" He asked.
"When I was 16 I developed the ability to distract people and it was then easy to steal what we needed. Food, cloths, medications. I never took anything of real value until my mom's boss caught me. He them forced me to steal money for him. If I refused he said he would be my sisters first customer. So for the past two years I became a very good thief. You were the first person who I could not distract."
Daisy then came back and got Jake. 'I'm tired. Me and Jake will go straight to sleep no need for a story tonight. Good night Lae. Good night Ax and thanks again for the gifts.' She then went to bed.
I looked at Ax and he was still smiling.
"Does it or has it ever bothered you having two dads?" I ask.
"No, My father Robert is tall and big like me. He is quiet and calm. I could also talk to him about anything. When I would get in trouble it was him that would sit and tell me why I was wrong. I once asked why I did not have a mother and that's when he told me I did. That was how I found out that Aunt Beth was my birth mother and my cousins were my half siblings. My father Adam is the emotional one. He worried and fussed over us. He is tall and skinny. He is an amplifier and I can use his power too but my sister makes my power very strong. He grew up with out his parents never knowing who he was till Aunt Beth found him so he also made sure we knew that we were lucky to have family. I love both and would never want to give them up for what some call a regular family."
"Do you want to have children?"
"Someday yes, There are so many kids without parents I would like to help a couple of them. I don't think I would do like my dad's did with a surrogate. Now your turn again to answer." he said.
"It bothers me not knowing who my father is. I know me and Daisy have different fathers but I sometimes wonder if the man who got my mother pregnant knew about me and if he did would he want me. Then I think that I would not really want to be that man son, someone who pays to sleep with my mom. I don't know if I would want kids. Life is hard I'm not sure if bringing a kid into the world is a good idea. But I can see your point in the orphans. That would be cool."
"Back to the question of a girlfriend, did you love her?" He asked.
"No, I only dated her to piss off her old man. He tried to touch Daisy once and mom was going to let him. I would never let anyone touch my sister."
"Have you ever had sex?" I asked.
"No, I'm still a virgin. You?"
"My mother's boss got mad at me once. I was 14 taking care a 7 year old. Daisy was hiding in the closet as my mom's boss was banging one of the new girls. I tried to get Daisy out and he caught me. He dragged me to this old guy who paid him a handful of money and then the guy was all over me. He hurt me really bad and I could not move for a while. Me and Daisy started living after that in the back shed; so we were never near him again. Later he gave me a choice to whore myself or steal money."
