Begging In Silence

Chapter Five.

Ares's P.O.V

"Ahhh!" Thane's screams abrupt once again and I can't help but fall to my knees, feeling his pain. God it hurts.

"Ares." Amber rushes to me. "For goodness sakes Ares drink the potion." She begs and I shake my head.

"I can't, if I do he'll die."

"Ahhh!" As his screams fill the air my vision gets blurry, I try to speak but cough and spit out blood then fall into darkness.

"Ready to go?" He nods and we get into the car. After Miley came to see Thane she promised she'd let us know if she found out more about what's going on with him, he got a call from her asking him to come see her. Thane was ready to go by himself but mom, dad and I insisted to go with him. Right now we're headed to Miley's house. Finally getting there the gate opens, parking we're greeted by Amber and her mother.

"Everyone is here, that's good." She says greeting us. "It's good to see you guys again, Zendea, Sebastian."

"Miley." Mom says and we head inside, taking a book from the shelf she blows on it, removing the dust then opens it and puts it on the table.

"When I left the house the last time I saw you, I'll be honest, I lied."

"I knew we couldn't trust her."

"Let her explain." Thane warns our mother. "What did you lie about?" He asks Miley. She sighs sitting down.

"After Ares told me what happened the last time you two fought and how you were acting during the fight, I had a hunch of what was happening to you but I wanted to be sure before telling you." She points at the book. "There's a story that we grew up listening to, of how our powers came to be. It was told to every witch coming of age about the three kings, birthed from the same womb that possessed great power. Now, amongst the three of them there was always an Angel, the Devil and a mixed breed, a brother who possessed both powers. There was always balance between two of the brothers but, the mixed breed was always a threat."

"But Thane and I are twins."

"That's where the problem is." I look at her confused.

"What do you mean?"

"The tale always spoke of three brothers, never two. What's happening now has never happened before, in history."

"So what does this mean?" Our father asks.

"Ares, when you told me your part of what happened that night you said that Thane said "no Angel will ever win against me" and he was referring to you yes?" I nod. "Which means that you are the brother who’s an Angel but, I don't know what Thane is."

"You said that the problem was always with the mixed breed brother right?" Our father asks. What is he trying to imply?

"Yes but-"

"Sebastian." Our mother warns.

"Which must mean that I am the mixed breed." Everyone looks at Thane.

"We don't know that for sure, like I said, this is the first time the powers have passed on to two brothers and not three."

"The mixed breed, him being a problem does it affect peoples safety?"

"Thane." I protest but he pays no mind to me, his attention is only on Miley.

"Yes." He sighs, closing his eyes.

"Take them away." We all look at him, why do I all of a sudden feel a sense of loss? "My powers, take them away."

"Thane!"

"Hold on a second, let's think about this." He turns to dad and his face looks so pained.

"There is nothing to think about! You heard what she said, if my powers are the reason the people I care about will get hurt then I'd rather not have them."

"How can you decide this on your own so selfishly?! Don't you care about how I feel?" I ask him angrily.

"Are you the one that has been a burden to everyone around them since from when they were a child? Are you the one who's always been the black Knight of the pack? An outsider?! I have been carrying this burden all by myself so don't TELL ME about how you feel!"

"Thane." Mom whispers with tears in her eyes.

"Are you fucken serious? I have been right there with you! You think I like seeing what this has done to you? I feel your everything remember? So of course I have been carrying this burden with you, you have never been alone. ."

"Can you do it?" He glares at Miley and she swallows, hard.

"Yes I can."

"Thane, don't do this." I look at him, putting his forehead on mine we look at each other. "You don't have to do this, we can try to find another way brother."

"There is other way, it's this or nothing." How did it get to this?

"If you take away his powers what will happen to him? What's the process?" Mom asks.

"The spell I would need to perform takes time and the process, from what I've heard the pain will be unbearable."

"Is it possible that this can kill him?" Miley keeps quiet as she looks at Thane with sympathy.

"Yes." She whispers.

"You are not doing this." Our mother says. "I will not let you kill yourself, no." Tears well in her eyes.

"But-"

"But?" I desperately ask.

"Because they're twins Ares would have to separate himself from Thane so he wouldn't feel his pain but, if he didn't then it would be better for Thane. His chances of survival will be higher.”

"No." He disagrees.

"I’ll do it.”

"I will not allow you to do this."

"You do not have the right to dictate what I can and cannot do, you made this decision so I'm making mine. I'll do it." I turn to Miley. Suddenly I feel my body stiffen, like I’m being bound by chains, when I look at Thane his eyes tell me that he’s feeling the same thing.

“Zendea, what are you doing?” I hear dad’s voice and look at mom. She shakes her head as tears fall down her face.

“I’m sorry but I can’t let you do this to yourselves, to each other.” I try to gulp for air but it’s getting harder to the more time passes by. She’s basically crushing us.

“Mom, I can’t breathe.” I say through gritted teeth.

“Baby stop, don’t do this.”

“I can’t lose my babies Sebastian.”

“Ares, send for Lucas and Jason, and I’ll mind link Olivia and Noah, now!” Thane mind links me.

“Okay.” Gathering my strength I mind link Jason. “Jason! Jason.”

“Alpha.”

“I don’t have time to explain but I need you and Lucas to come to me as quickly as possible. Do whatever you have to t-to…”

“Alpha!” Hearing his voice fade away darkness consumes me.
