Chapter 2 - Ch. 2 ۞ Andromeda - II

"SHE ASKED US TO STAY UNTIL WE WERE 21. We just turned 21. Could she want to tell us that we should go and live our lives now?" My anxiety spoke louder than me.

"Hey," Thea caressed my shoulder, "Andy, don't be so anxious. Today is a celebration day, okay? We'll see what is it tomorrow." She's always able to calm me down when I'm like this, maybe because we are the two oldest and we rely on one another the most.

Sighing, I finished my drink and took hers, than drank it all, making them giggled, "You are right. Sorry. Let's enjoy now. I just had a terrible feeling and it kind of consumed me for a bit."

"Kind of?" Kara giggled and I rolled my eyes.

But before I could say anything else, an explosion shook the entire Manor and we fall to the ground on our knees. Me and Thea instantly going on protective mode, throwing our glasses aside and covering our sisters with our bodies. Holding them down to ease the impact.

"What the fuck was that?" Nay cried.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit," Rosa panicked.

"You think it's an earthquake?" Kara questioned while shaking in fear.

I took a deep breath, feeling Thea's gaze on me, she was worried but didn't want to voice it out. I'm the oldest. I have to take care of this.

Closing my eyes for a bit, I concentrated as much as I managed to, and when another small shake shook the Manor, I felt where it came from. As I snapped my eyes opens, I greeted my teeth, "It's not an earthquake!"

"W-what is it?" Jess asked while trembling under me.

"It came from mom's wing," I gave Thea a look. "I knew something bad was going to happen. T, stay here with them. I'll go see what was that!"

But before I could leave, three hands held me back, "No. No. No. No. No. No. We cannot separate from each other!" Kara's voice was a squeak. "That's how horror movies work."

"Kara is right, Andy, we should stick together!" Thea exclaimed.

I didn't really wanted to go alone, so I took a deep breath and nodded, "Girls, from youngest to oldest, let's form a line and hold hands. I'll be in the front, Kara will be in the back," my voice was firm and they did what I told them to right away, knowing that it was the best to do. "Bite your lips, don't make noises. Whatever is it that it's here with us, it might get startle with us."

"But... But mom-" Rosa started and Thea cut her.

"Mom is strong. Extremely strong!" Thea exclaimed.

I nodded. "She has abilities none of us has," another big noise was heard and they gasped and bit their lips right away to contain their screams. "She will stand up and fight. We, more than anyone, know how talented she is using that... Magic, or whatever is it that she has. So, don't freak out!"

Feeling Thea's warm hand in mine made me calmer and helped me to concentrate on the situation. It's always me who handles their moments of panic. I may be an anxious mess sometimes, but most of the time they look up to me for a reason.

I've been good at dealing with problems since we were kids, and mom gave us lots of mind tasks to do. And I would always give them the answer when she wasn't looking.

As we passed through the training room where mom trained us in martial arts, I told them to each pick a weapon. While they picked swords, bats, and spears, I chose a silenced-gun and put ten bullets in it. Not just the gun, as I put two daggers on the back pockets of my black high-waist leather shorts, and other two on the front.

Close and long-range combat. We never know the situation and we have to be prepared.

As we got in position again, we couldn't hold each other hands anymore, so they just walked behind me as I had first instructed them to. And when we got near mom's wing, we head huffed voices, and a... Moan?

"Fuck!" I growled and stormed further inside her wing, blinded by fear of her being sexually abused. The girls got startled and ran after me, but I've always been the fastest, followed by Kara and Nay. "Please, Goddess," the one mom taught her to worship since ever, "don't let anything happen to our mom. Please."

The huffed moans grew louder and a shiver ran down my spine. As I stepped into her room that was pretty much destroyed, I saw her being pinned on the all by a 7'3" dark haired man.

I pulled my finger on the trigger, and that startled them, and mom's eyes met mine, hazy, "If you don't put my mother down on this second, I swear in the name of the fucking Goddess that I'll shoot you. I'll fucking shoot you!" My voice came vicious and menacing, mom and the girls always said that when angry I was bizarrely intimidating.

"Andy..." Mom's voice was a whisper, she didn't seem to be on her right mind and her light face was red.

"Put. My. Mother. Down. Or. I. Will. Shoot." I repeated slowly and blinded by anger.

"I'll do better than that!" When he finally spoke, all the hairs in my body shot up in alarm. It was a dark, deep voice, like a feral roar.

And on the next second, he snapped his fingers and my mom was gone. Gone. My mother was gone and I don't know where the fucker took her.

I couldn't breath. I couldn't think. I couldn't see. My mind darkened and I heard three shots. A painful cry and another shot, followed by a curse I've never heard before.

"Andromeda!" My sisters screamed in horror.

"Fuck. You are going to kill him!" I think it was Rosa who spoke, but I couldn't be sure.

I shot him once more, and when I was going to shot him again, in a split of a second, the men turned to me enraged and held my wrist, almost crushing it. Fuck. He's strong. "Snap. Out. Of. It. Andromeda!" He hissed.

Clenching my jaw, my vision began to clear it up and as I stared at the stranger's face, I felt sick. His facial features were familiar, like looking in the mirror but in a male version. Except for his eyes that were strangely identical to mom's.

My eyes widened, "It can't be!" I gasped and only then I noticed the bizarre silence from my sisters, as they probably came to the same conclusion as I did.

"So, it's the eldest who took my impulsivity, hm?" His rage turned into amusement as his eyes stared into mine, feral, predatorily.

"No fucking way," I mumbled in shock.

"Are you..." Thea cleared her throat, trying to deal with the situation since I'm not being able to put my shot together, "Why do you look like us?"

He grinned, and softened his grip on my wrist, looking at her, "What else? I'm your dad. The plan was to let you stay here until your were 21 in the human world. That's would be around 504 years in ours. It would keep them on their toes and Eva would be able to raise you without their annoying interruptions." Eva?

"Who's Eva?" Kara asked, and there wasn't a line of fear in her voice anymore.

I cursed under my breath, "What do you mean in your world?" Is this about the place mom came from? "504 years? Are you insane? You are not making any fucking sense!"

His eyes turned to me again, shining with interest, "Eva is short to Evangeline. Evangeline Pandora, your mom's true name. Royal Princess of the Witch Kingdom. Empress of the Demon Empire. Wife of the strongest Demon ever born... Me," he winked.

"Wait- what? Didn't you only have a one night stand?" Jess asked confused.

Our... Father turned to her, "No, Jasmine. We were happily married for lots of years. You also have a brother who's 11 years older than you, Miles."

This is too much. Too fucking much.

I pushed him away, but he didn't even budge. "So, you expect us to believe that mom is a Witch, was born a Princesa, is married to you, you are a Demon, the Emperor of the Demons at that, and we have a older brother?"

He tilted his head to the side, "Yes. That's about right."

I scoffed, "That's bullshit. Fucking bullshit. Are you saying we are what? Hybrids? Half demon and half witches?" I shook my head. "I must be hallucinating. I drank too much. I drank too fucking much."

Two hands caressed my shoulders and I could tell it was Thea, "Andy, calm down. We should hear him. Beside, we always knew mom wasn't from here. Not a human. Not with the abilities she has. Plus, our eyes also don't look very humane, do they?"

Her voice was calm and soothed me down slightly, but I clenched my teeth, "Thea, this is too much."

"Yeah, it is." Her emerald green eyes turned to him, "You are our father, that's undeniable. We look like you, except for your eyes that are just like mom's for a weird reason we are not aware of. So," she caressed my shoulders more softly, "care to explain to us why our Manor is like this?"

"Where is our mother?" I hissed not being able to bottle up my anger.

"Thea, you sound as pacific as your mom. And you, Andromeda, is clearly a little bomb like me," he grinned. "Seems like our personalities divided into you six, sounds good. Three of me and three of her. I love it," what is he saying?

"Where. Is. Our. Mom?"

He rolled his eyes, "My wife is finally back home. We were enjoying our reunion until you shot me!" But he didn't seem annoyed by the blood that was dripping from all of his wounds. "Seems like my pretty girl concocted poison on the bullets, I can feel it in my veins. As amazing as ever. I'm immune to it, though. All demons are," he eyes the girls and then me, "you too."

"What do you mean home?" Nayara finally spoke.

"Nayara, sweetheart, I mean my palace in Calix, our world. Demons and witches have the ability to cross the veil between our world and Earth the house of humans. However, the strongest ones awaken spatial magic, which allows one to teleport themselves, others, or things to wherever place they want. So, I teleported my wife back to our chambers in our Palace. It's been 504 years since I last saw here, so, it's been tough. Especially if when taking into consideration that I'm an incubus."

I blinked. We all did. Absorbing what he just said. "Incubus?" Karalyn chuckled anxiously.

"Like the demons who are driven by sex?" Rosalyn added.

"Yes," he grinned, amused that we got that. "The strongest order of demons. Incubus and Succubus. Incubus are the male demons, while Succubus are the female," he pointed to us. "You. You are all half-succubus."

Our eyes widened even more, and they are wide enough naturally, "Fuck. That explain our bizarre sex desire!" Thea gasped loudly behind me and I felt my cheeks burning.

"You never did anything though!" That's wasn't a question.

I arched my eyebrows, "How do you know?"

"Moonstone carved rings," he pointed at out hands. "Purity rings. And I can also tell scent when someone is a virgin, and you all are. It's good. The purity rings prove that you chose to stay virgin and are waiting for marriage. That why avoid those dumbasses from getting on my nerves."

"What dumbasses?" Jess asked.

"That's not important!" I snapped. "Answer our questions." I demanded impatiently.

Again, he seemed amused, and I felt strangely good about that. "I'm Ezekiel. No surnames as the Emperor. We ended up destroying this side of the manor while we were... Reconnecting," ew. "Can't be helped, I'm too strong."

"You are too egocentric. That's what you are!"

"Hm, that too. You all must be like that as well. All demons are, to be honest. Especially Incubus and Succubus. But answering your questions, my dear, I came to bring you back home. Well, your mom was intending in doing that tomorrow, but you caught us, so, we'll go back today."

"So… why did we even had to stay all these years in the human world?" Kara asked confused.

"I prefer to tell you that with your mom present. So, we'll go back. I'll spend a week with her catching up, you catch up with Miles, since he's dying to know you better, and then we'll deal with the walking problems that will burst into the Palace the second they hear you came back!"

I arched my eyebrows, feeling my sisters' gazes on me, as they probably were waiting for my decision, "Walking problems?"

"We'll explain later. Can we go now?" He looked at them and then back to me. "Are you the leader here?"

"She is!" They explained together and I felt my cheeks burn. "Our second mom." Ugh, not now.

"Interesting. So, Andromeda, shall we go back home or are you contemplating in emptying the gun on me?"

I grinned at him viciously, "I'm contemplating. However, we all want to understand all of this better. To know what the fuck is happening and to see our mom. So, we'll go!" My sisters' let out an excited sound.

He grinned satisfied with my answer. "Good," as our father snapped his fingers, darkness swallowed us.
