Chapter 274: Ways to convince you
Kellen burst into his Dad’s room to find his Dad holding onto his Mom’s arm, and Casper trying to calm her down from the other side. The newer Guide was tucked into the corner in a chair, watching everything with rather large eyes while a few Espers lingered in the room, obviously having been told to remain back.
"Don’t even think about it." Kellen barked as he stepped into the room. His Mom’s eyes were glowing bright purple as she snapped her head towards him.
"You do not get to order me around like that." She responded back, and Kellen knew that whoever he was talking to, wasn’t fully his Mom. He wasn’t upset. At least, not about that. His Mom was overwhelmed, overtired, probably hadn’t been guided properly, and had just found out that her husband not only had been targeted, but would continue to be targeted until he was dead
Kellen wondered only briefly how Rhys was doing, before shaking himself and glaring at his Mother.
"Yes I do if I think you’re going to attempt to do something so incredibly stupid even my trainee Field Guides wouldn’t do it." Her jaw clenched and Kellen glanced at his Dad. He was pale, shocked, but his grey eyes were determined. "Are you really going to leave Dad behind to go enact some kind of revenge? Really? Sure, he can live without you, but not for long. Are you going to make what that fucker just said a self-fulfilling prophecy?" He demanded and his Mom looked away from him.
She was pissed. She was angry. Hell, they all were, but Kellen wasn’t letting his feelings cloud his judgement as much as she was.
"You don’t know-"
"Don’t you even dare say that right now." Kellen’s voice held a thin edge to it and she shut her mouth. "You’re lucky I’m not getting mad at you for being reckless with your life as your son, and only for Dad right now." She flinched and Kellen was sure his eyes were glowing in his face as well. He couldn’t help it. He watched as his Dad’s eyes shifted to blue as well.
Hell, everyone who could had glowing eyes right now.
