Chapter 1
The sound of running feet filled the air, a four year old child smiling as she chased after her triplet brothers. "Ethan, Eugene, wait up!" Ethan stopped, smiling at her amused. "Gotta look to keep up, Alivinia!"Eugene calls stopping ten steps ahead of Ethan. She caught up to the two, hurrying to the open field. "WAIT!" Night appeared in front of them, stopping them instantly. "Not today remember, you were gonna spend the day with the others"Night reminds. "But you always say that then we end up never going!"Ethan frowned. Eugene stayed silent, his eyes opening halfway. "Oh, don't be so sad that you get to spend a day with Grandpa Eli." The trio turned, smiles appearing on their faces. "Grandpa!!" Eli smiled, Hiko leading him forward. "Hey kids"Eli grinned Alivinia clinging to his leg. "Aunt Willow"Ethan smiled. "Hey"Willow giggled walking over.
"No Uncle Jake today"Hiko says Eugene frowning. "Come on, we have a day filled with fun planned for you all"Willow smiled. "Yay!"Alivinia beamed. She stopped, hearing gentle breathing. She stepped away, wondering if the breathing sound was what Night didn't want them to discover. She stepped around the bush, finding a man with long white hair in a ponytail laying asleep, tears falling down his cheeks. "Jasmine...."The man mutters as she stepped closer. She reached for some of his hair, looking curious. A hand grabbed her by the throat, the man glaring at her. "Little brat"The man glared tightening his grip on her throat. "Papa.."Alivinia mutters remembering the description of her father that Willow had told her once. He dropped her, his eyes wide in alarm. He got to his feet, fixing his cloak and turned away. "I don't have children." She stared at him, wondering if he really was Terrance, the insane psychopath who ws madly in love with her mother.
"JAKE!!" Running footsteps make her turn, finding Jake hurrying over. "Terrance, there you are, I've been searching for you everywhere"Jake glared. "A certain brat found my hiding place"Terrance says coldly. "Ali, hey, where's the others"Jake gasped looking alarmed. "So this is one of them"Terrance smirked. He kneeled down, grabbing the girls chin, making her look at him. "You have that miserable womans face and eyes....had you had blue hair, I'd have mistaken you for her"Terrance mumbles. He chuckled, and released her chin, standing up. "Where's your brothers? Aren't you supposed to be a dynamic trio?"Terrance asks. Terrance frowned at her silence, then turned away. "I'm returning home"Terrance says. "NO, PAPA PLEASE!!"Alivinia yells chasing after him, her eyes wide. She tripped over a root, her eyes wide as she fell forward. Terrance turned sharply, falling to his knees as he caught her, shocking himself at how quick he moved.
He stood up, holding her in his arms. He passed her to Jake, and turned away. "Take her to the others, It's time i go back home to my area"Terrance mutters. "PAPA, DON'T LEAVE!!PAPA!!"Alivinia yells reaching for him. He pulled his cloak up, feeling his heart start to break. "PAPAAA"Alivinia cried tears falling down her cheeks. Terrance stepped into the greenery, lifting his trembling hands. "I can't....I refuse to let myself love them, I don't want to love them"Terrance mutters. He walked away, Rocko hopping up onto his shoulder. "I'm fine"Terrance mutters his slug chirping. "She looks like Jasmine, even with her having my hair color"Terrance mutters. He looked up at the treehouse, walking closer. Rocko chirped again, vanishing from view as Terrance climbed up the ladder. He looked around, then grabbed a sewing kit, returning to his room.
He pulled out white and blue fabric, starting to sew. "Leave me alone"Terrance orders looking up. Jasmine stared at him, sitting across from the male. "I don't want you here...I refuse to go anywhere near those kids...I'm afraid I'll end up hurting one of them"Terrance mutters. Jasmine looked at the window, before fading away. "Hey buddy"Jake greets. "Is she alright...?"Terrance asks. "Sad, but I reunited her with the others"Jake nodded. Terrance nodded, continuing to sew the fabric. "What're you making?"Jake asks curiously. "A stuffed bear for Alivinia"Terrance mutters. He stopped, and sighed. "If I can't be near them, I at least want her to know that I do care somewhat...the darkness in me...I can't let it spread to any of them"Terrance says. Terrance smiled, looking relieved as he watched the male work on the gift. Terrance coughed up blood, his eyes widening in horror. "TERRANCE!!!"Jake yells as Terrance fell to the side.
Alivinia sat in a chair, Willow looking at her worriedly. "Papa left..."Eugene mutters nearly crushing his juice box. "Calm down, little warrior"Night says curling his tail around the angry child. "Sorry..."Eugene scowled looking away, keeping his eyes closed. NIght smiled, patting hr boys head, getting a huff from the stoic child. "I'm surprised he came outside, he's usually holed up in his room, sometimes Jake spends hours in there with him before coming out"Hiko frowned. Ethan pulled his younger sister close, hugging her. "We don't need him, we still have each other remember"Ethan smiled patting her head. "Yeah, don't worry, kid"Hiko smiled Alivinia giving him a small smile. "Let's eat"Night insists placing Alivinia's head to give her comfort. A cough came come Alivinia, her small hands flying to her mouth. She lowered them, staring at the red liquid staining her fingers and palms, feeling weird inside. She fell over, Hiko lunging forward to catch her. "KID!!"
