Emery laid in bed, resting peacefully as he could despite the current state he was in. Black and blue eyes, his ribs broken, and not to mention the poison that coursed through his veins thanks to Riley. Kat looked over him and for once in her life she felt helpless. There was a burning anger that she had never felt before, it was unlike anything else. She could feel her heartbeat pounding in her throat and the longer she stared at her twin the more she thought about killing someone. Fingers curled against the the sheet Emery slept on, balling it into a tight fist. “I’m going to make this right,” she promised him.

She moved to leave the small hospice that was in Booty Bay and Cerothyn was waiting for her outside of it. “Katlinne-”

“Do not speak to me,” she instantly laughed, though it was far from humorous. She was trying to keep herself composed and Cerothyn wouldn’t listen. He knew her anger all too well, that was what frightened him more than anything in this moment. She was more like him than she wanted to be and he could already tell she was about to do something reckless. A hand grasped her shoulder to force her to look at him and she went to swing. He caught it in his fist and shook his head.

“You already hit me once, lass. Don’t think I’m going to let you land another so soon,” he chided. “You can’t go after him.”

“The hell I can’t. Look at him! If you gave a shit about your son you would be going after him too.”

“It’s not that simple,” he said, pain lacing his tone.

“Maybe not for you.” She jerked out of his hold and moved to leave again.

“Kat he will kill you! Be smart about this.”

Riley waited patiently in the spot he had whispered to Katlinne, he knew the fiery blonde would show. Rielen had told him to send a message to Cerothyn now that Camsyn had received his and so he did, picking on the weak and luring out the other now that he had learned of her. Emery had opened his mouth to Riley, unknowing that he was giving the wrong uncle information about he and his sister. He almost felt bad for the poor kid, but it was strictly business after all. He heard a crunch of a stick and a smile formed across his features, “ah, the mysterious one has arrived.”

Katlinne had never killed someone, gods and she couldn’t believe she was really going to try. She had been trained for it but never before had she wanted to take a life, she knew though that she wanted to kill Riley. Blinded by anger she instantly lunged for him, vanishing into the darkness and reappearing behind him. Riley was no fool, the moment she disappeared he turned to face her and took the tip of her blade into his stomach as his hand caught her wrist. He used his force to push her backwards, his leg catching hers to topple her over.

She was quick to roll when he tried to send a kick, doing her best to get back to her feet. It wasn’t quick enough, however, and she felt a sharp jerk by her hair as he pulled her up. He sent a punch to her stomach, she felt the wind sharply leave her body and disorient her. As she tried tried to go for his face, anything, to get out of his hold he hit her again. Kat stumbled backwards and tried to get back up but this time she was kicked. “Stay,” he said smugly and lowered himself to her level. “Do you really think you would be able to beat someone like me, darling? It’s really unfair, I’m a lot older than you are.”

Her lip twitched and she sent a fist flying right for that god awful mouth. She wanted him to shut up, to eat his very words, and she reached for a blade again. It drove into his side much to his surprise and Kat felt her heart freeze within her chest for a split moment. It wasn’t a killing blow and she knew this, she knew this would only cause him to come unhinged with anger. She ripped the blade free and as she went for his throat he was already on top of her. His weight crushed her beneath him and she let out a coughed breath from the sudden impact. His fist connected to her face, once. Twice. She felt her consciousness slipping and all she could think about was Emery. “I told you, you wouldn’t win.”

“I didn’t plan on it,” she said with a bloodied smile. Her blade fell to the ground and as Riley looked at it, he felt the sickening realization that she had poisoned him. Katlinne was met with the brunt end of his dagger against her head to knock her out cold and her body was scooped up in his arms. He now had to make it back to his father, and this time, with a gift.

They say I’m a bitch. Or witch. I’ve claimed the same and never winced.

"Dear Nikklaus,” no that didn’t feel right. Emery scratched it out and sighed, leaning back in his chair. He wrote Aryette with ease, why couldn’t he do this? Right, because this was the very first time he was even speaking to his older brother. He wondered if this was how Katlinne felt towards Cerothyn now, well, minus all the anger. His eyes rolled and he threw the paper into the bin along with the rest only to try again.

“Nikklaus,

I’ve entrusted Cerothyn to give you this letter, probably not a good idea on my part since he’s weird about going around anyone he’s related to. He seems to be working on that though, he just wont tell me why he has the problem in the first place. Oh well. I’d have sent it myself but I don’t know how to get in touch with you, but maybe we can change that?

Anyway, my name is Emery. I’m your younger brother, you have a sister too named Katlinne who is my twin. I was hoping to meet you some time since I don’t really know any of my family other than her and Cerothyn, plus an older brother sounds awesome! I’ve met our cousin, Lolette, but she’s just as standoffish as the rest. Though, she’s a little nicer than people Cero has informed me about. He said you, Camsyn, Reli, and her are my best bet for now and to steer clear of the rest. That, Siyris, his other brother might be more accepting and our cousin, Matty, too but he hasn’t talked to them in a long time. Something about being a bastard (man that word is so harsh--- can we just say “estranged kid” or something?) makes his father (ol’ grandpa dick is what I call him) and the rest don’t want anything to do with us. That we’re pretty much already disowned by that crowd even before getting a chance--- which I think is stupid since the family isn’t even nobility to begin with but Cero said they’re worse. Whatever that means, it’s all dumb! I think they should get their head out of their asses, Cero kinda laughed and said we’re all better off without them, all meaning the cool people he said are okay and him. He’s alright too.

There’s already so much family AND drama included that I’m finding myself in, I wasn’t prepared for it.

I’ve included my mailing address at the bottom should you want to write me back. Heard I’m also an uncle, weird how big this family is--- not that it’s a bad thing or anything the more the merrier. Congratulations on your own twins though! If they’re anything like Kat and I when we were young you’re gonna need lots of patience and luck from what I’ve been told!

- Emery.”

Probably one of the funniest pieces of graffiti I’ve seen in Uptown in a long time.
