Prompt #2 - Family
Family - how complicated do you want this?
Since I grudgingly promised I'd try my best to answer truthfully - I will try. However be warned this may not be sutable for young ears to hear or young eyes to read. You're on your own there.
First, I suppose I should explain first that my family does not include those who gave birth to me and share the same blood that I do. My family includes my mates (Dom and Scott), my sister (Jordan) and eight men who I also love in a way that may be unconventional but works for us (Donovan, Jason, Ricky, Nathan, Alex, Austin and Blake) and it also includes my mates childe - Adonis. First lets explain why and how this came to be, yeah?
I was born on April 1st, 1982, twelve minutes before my twin sister Madison Allison. My mother died hours after childbirth and as a result we were left growing up with our father - Steve Allison. We lived in Seattle while my father owned his own Seattle based coffee shop chain. Madison and I always got along and were as close as any twins can be until that is, we turned five. At that time, not only did we head to Kindergarten but our father remarried. Chelsea Northington was her name and upon first glance - I hated her and everything she did. Yeah, I felt that she took away my father from us but she also took my sister, turning her into a mini-her. Chelsea had been born in a rich family, spoiled and used to getting what she wanted - no matter what the cost. Yeah, it was a surprise to everyone when our father married her. She had him wrapped around her finger and knew it - he gave her whatever it was she wanted and while he was working his ass off, she was off having her affairs and teaching Madison the same "life" lessons that she felt the youngest twin needed to know. She tried to do the same to me, but I remember never wanting to be around her and never wanting to be the same. Madison however, revelled in the attention and loved it. Soon it wasn't enough, and she want any and all kind of attention she could get - especially from men.
Apparently while Madison was being her self absorbed mode - she also harbored jealousy towards me. In our family, if there were twins born - one of the two would be born magical while the other wouldn't. We're really not sure why and it still escapes me but that's how it's been for generations. In any case, she was jealous of the fact that I had been born with the magic in the family and she hadn't. Before we entered high school, we moved to New Orleans. There, I met Jordan Davings, Dom (known as David Parker then), Adonis (Ben at that time), Mercedes, Paul and Vin - a group of friends who I believed at that time were the best I've met. Out of the six? I grew closest to Jordan, Dom and Adonis - never knowing that Dom had a crush on me. I did however know that my sister had laid her eyes on him the first time we all met. Can you sense the growing trend? If you've guess she became eve more jealous, you'd be correct. His infatuation with me increased her hatred for me even more, and it probably didn't help that our wonderful and oh-so-loving step-mother was telling her all kinds of lies while the two spent some quality mother/daughter time together.
So years later, Madison decided after having her daughter and divorcing the one man who had fallen in love with her for who she was - that drugs and murder were the way to go. No one said she was the brightest twin out of us. Induced on some Cocaine and/or Meth, along with being partnered with a rogue demon - Madison tried to kill me and torture me. She apparently thought that if she killed me, she could get everything that I had - including my mates, powers and whatever else she may have wanted. Dom wasn't too happy about this and needless to say, once he got his hands on her, she was dead before sunrise. There you have it. My mate killed my twin sister. How do I feel about this? As far as I'm concerned, it's better this way. I can now breath easily knowing that she wouldn't harm her daughter, me or anyone that I loved and cared about. Her daughter is the cutest thing in the world and you can be sure as hell that her aunt will be in her life. Someone has to train the next future witch in the line after all.
As for my father and his wife? My father passed away from a heartattack during my Junior year. The next year sucked, that is until Spring Break and I graduated.
Wow, that was a lot longer than I had anticipated, but now my family are those closest to me. My best friends, mates and sister - those who I love more than anything and who understand me more than anyone else. We love each other more than anything and love to spend time with each other. We could be doing anything - watching movies, sports, hanging out, talking and racing and we could have the best time ever. Our love may be a bit unconventional in ways most don't understand but it works for us. It's something we all have grown to depend on and something that our mates have understood. Though, they do get a bit possessive and jealous sometimes but that's only natural considering the circumstances. All of them in their own little way have made me who I am today and I love them for that. Needless to say that if anyone hurts them will have to deal with me and the rest. We protect each other at no matter the cost.
Just ask the people who have tried...if you can find them.
That is my family.
