“Never, I don’t want anything to do with you and your blood thirsty followers!” she spat in Robin’s face making me giggle through a quiet sob.

Robin lifted her hand wiping the spit from her face chuckling a bit, “You have no choice in the matter. Your parents were royals, your grand parents and great grand parents and so on down the line,”

“My parents wanted out,”

“It is true but to leave is to die,”

“You killed them didn’t you?” Ashley was seething now barely able to hold her self back from attacking Robin or anyone else who got in her way to attack Robin.

“Did I play a hand in their demise, yes, did I pull the lever in which brought down their plane, no. I was the one however who kept you safe and off that contraption and I’m the one who sent you to live with the Carlin’s, advisers to the Royals to keep you on the right track but they failed.” Robin pulled a gun from under her robe and in a few seconds both Paula and Arthur lay slumped on the ground with a bullet in their heads.

“NO!” I screamed, sure they were horrible and had planned on sacrificing me or what ever but they were still my parents and I still loved them even if they never loved me, I didn’t want them to die.

“Hush,” a guard kicked me in the ribs making me grunt.

“Leave her alone!” Robin growled making the guy back off. She than turned to two other red robed figures, “Boys?”

They stepped forward dropping their hoods as well, “Glen…Clay?” how could they be in on it too.

“Sorry Spence,” they said in unison making me want to gag. Was there anyone in my family who didn’t want me dead, the answer struck me quickly, yes there was and she still wanted me around.

“I don’t understand,”

“Both Clay and Glen’s parents were killed by the filthy Lesbikes so they needed a place to stay, what better place than with a willing and grateful Cryptic family.” Robin raised an eye brow, “Besides it gave you someone to play with.” Okay what, it just sounded like she didn’t want me to be lonely growing up, was that my mom talking, was she still locked somewhere deep inside that spell and in someway was looking out for me?
