Chapter 161: Behind The Mask
"So you’re saying I have to babysit your sister while you’re away trying to figure out if your wife’s parents have something to do with her awakened powers?" Uttered Elian who arched his brow at Cassian, wanting to understand the situation brought forth to him, and the young lad responded with a slight nod of his head.
"Yes, if that’s what you choose to call it."
"Hold on, I have work to do, I can’t always be around to monitor your sister’s in and out movement." Asserted Orson as he joined the two men in the living room. He just finished checking up on Catherine only to hear on his way down the stairs that he has to take care of the female version of Cas.
The worst of all Albrecht’s family.
"Why do we have to take care of her though?" Orson asked, gently reaching for the glass of burgundy wine that was kept on the table in front of him.
"Personally, I don’t have a problem with that." Elian shrugged, giving off a carefree impression like it wasn’t a big deal, and Orson, who was about to take a sip of his drink, stopped mid-way when the young vampire accepted Cas’s request without at least pretending to turn it down twice before reluctantly accepting with an open-mind.
"And here I was thinking you’d be the hot-head, Elian." Cassian clicked his tongue in displeasure, solely finding the name inappropriate. "It’s agent red now. The name suits you more"
"I told you not to call me that."
"Get used to my disobedience." His playful smile vanished like mist in the morning, "Inna doesn’t want to go back, and I don’t want her staying there either. Elijah is still out there so let’s not forget to be cautious, who knows what else he’s planning behind the shadows he hides himself in, and leaving Inna alone would be too risky, that’s why I made the decision to entrust her care to the two of you... that is.... If you think you’re capable of handling Inna."
