HAUNTED

ANSWERS LEAD TO QUESTIONS

The first man walked in and could be Soren but older. He was pretty too. Ryker looked more like his mom now. The second man stopped at the door and made eye contact with Nora. He was very beautiful. Dark hair and dark eyes with a great smiled. Any woman would throw themselves at him.

"What is that doing here?" He glared. He pulled his sword.

Soren was in front of Nora. "This is Nora! My fiance. You put that sword away and we can talk."

Clara and Soren's twin were just staring at the man with the sword. Nora didn't know who anyone was but the man with the sword was a demon. She knew that.

She held onto Soren and Ryker to keep from phasing. The demon looked at them and sighed and pointed the sword at the floor. He looked at the floor. He wasn't ready to talk about this.

"Well, shit!" The demon said.

Soren's twin sighed.

Clara was lost. "What in the hell is going on?" She was shocked that Stone pulled his sword in the house at a small woman. Nora couldn't be a threat to anyone. She was just a cute little thing.

"Let's eat and talk. I'm starving." Their uncle said. He turned and left the sword in the laundry room. He was screwed now. Clara didn't even know about this.

"Agreed." Soren said. He stared at his uncle. "Nora. This is our dad, Axel and our uncle Stone."

Nora just nodded. She hadn't let go of anyone. She had a death grip on both Soren and Ryker. They had no idea that their uncle was a demon and she didn't want to be the one to tell them. She hated this.

"Set the table." Clara looked at the boys.

"Sure." Ryker moved first. He had to pry Nora off his arm. "Nora. You want to help us?" Nora just nodded and hadn't taken her eyes off of the demon. Uncle demon. What was going on?

Soren turned with her to walk in the dining room. She flashed from human to phantom a couple of times and took a breath. "What in the hell is going on?" He whispered to her.

Nora shook her head. "You don't want to know, Soren! I can't tell you!" She was in tears. A man that she knew he loved had lied to them all these years. They had no idea. She couldn't tell them. It wasn't her place and she didn't want to. "I don't want to tell you. Talk to your uncle, Soren. I'm sorry!"

They set the table in silence and the food was brought in. Nora made sure to stay away from the demon. She sat on the other side of the table. She was glad this table sat twelve people.

"Well, I am grateful for another day that we all get to spend together." Clara said. She started passing food. No one was talking and the demon kept looking at Nora.

Stone was freaking out since he walked in the house. What in the hell was a phantom doing in the house? They didn't even exists. They were a myth. He thought they were a myth. One was sitting in the kitchen. 

How? 

Soren was protecting it. No. Both boys were. 

Why? 

Stone thought them to kill everything. Why would they protect that thing? 

Now, he was sitting at the dinner table with it. It piled food and ate without looking up. Soren asked it if it was okay once in a while and it would shake it's head.

"Are we talking after dinner?" Axel was scared. He didn't think he would have to talk about it ever. He wasn't ready for this conversation at all!

"Why don't we just start now." Ryker said and looked at his uncle and his father. "Dad? Care to explain some things? Uncle Stone?"
