Lies and Deceit - A Fantasy RP

"I didn`t do anything much since you left either, finished skinning the deer, started making a spear." Lucas said. "Oh yeah, and after you got back I talked to River some... She did most of the talking though..."
~
River nodded. "I wonder how Fola is..." She muttered, not exactly knowing she talked out loud.

Eva asked innocently, hoping she knew what River had told him, "Oh. What did she tell you?" She blushed as she realized she had been rather close to Lucas all along, and gave him some space.
---------
Xylo asked simply "Who's that again?"

Lucas responded. "That... You... Like me."

"Mac, Lucas, and Camilla`s friend. I hung out with her sometimes." River said.

Eva blushed deeply, but still held his gaze. She didn’t respond, but provided a tiny nod to affirm his question. Her heart threatened to burst from her chest as he looked down at her.

Xylo nodded simply, before asking conversationally “Do you miss life there?”

Lucas sat there for a minute, watching her then he blurted quietly. "I like you too."

River shook her head. "There was only a small group of Aves there who accepted me. All I had there is bad memories. The only Ave there who I still slightly miss is Fola. Everyone else I would have missed was sent with me. Including Lucas, Camilla, and Natalie."

Persepolis took a deep, calm breath. She decided that she would tell Luna about her childhood. "This is hard for me, but I really need to speak about what I experienced growing up in the mansion. It's been constantly battling inside of me, and I want to be able to get it off my chest." She sat down with her knees pulled up to her chest, facing Luna as she spoke, a sign of her complete trust in her. Persepolis only ever let her guard down around those she trusted.
She began telling her story, "First, I need to give a little background about my family's origins. My father is German and my mother is Korean. My father fled Germany in the wake of the second world war. He left by himself, he had nothing when he left and everybody he ever encountered in America was wary of him because of what his country had done during the war. My mother left Korea with her mom during the heart of the Korean war, after the two countries split. Most of her family was locked in North Korea. When my mom was 16, she ran away. She never saw her mother again. My mother was also despised by the Americans because she came from another country that we were at war with. In brief, my family is born of war. Aside from my parents, I had nobody because all of my kin were being held captive or had been killed in battle.
"My parents transformed themselves into Aves because the human society wouldn't accept them. But they didn't have an easy acceptance into the society of the Aves at the mansion, either. When the arrived, they were looked down upon because of both their origins and the fact that they weren't born Aves. They weren't given meals by the others, they had to steal their food which didn't help their reputation. Fast forward a year and I'm born. I inherited the hate and distrust that my parents had. Over the next 4 years, my parents had 3 more children, my brothers. By the time I was 6 they couldn't feed 4 kids anymore. They decided it was better to keep the sons, to carry on their name and because they were stronger. I don't blame them, I was a weak and small child, I never really had much to me.
"And so they abandoned me. No word or anything. In one day I went from being their child to being treated like a stranger, sometimes even a threat to their other children. The other adult Aves in the mansion pounced on my vulnerability. They started chasing me, taunting me, trying to drive me out and forcefully take from me whatever I had. That's why I learned parkour. I had to be able to get away fast and hide because I wasn't big enough to fight.
"I stole food for myself, and every day I risked being caught and killed or expelled. I learned to master my healing ability because when I got hurt nobody would help me. I had to learn every life lesson through trial and error. I had to learn that if I wanted to live I had to do everything myself. I had to learn that I could not rely on anyone but myself. I had a very harsh childhood where everything was learned the hard way and it's made incredibly difficult for me to trust anybody."
She paused, looking Luna in the eyes, "But I trust you. And that is something that will never change."

Luna listened to every word, her heart growing saddened at every word. The last sentence of her speech hit her hard. Luna had been trusted for once. She had never been trusted. Instead of providing some kind remark, Luna betrayed all of her cold nature and walked over to embrace her softly. Luna and Persepolis both had gone through awful childhoods, but they had both grown, it seemed. She wished that Persepolis could fall in love with Hector, be happy. Whatever it took for her to be happy, that's what she wanted.
(I'm so sorry for the delay. I wrote out a long post and my computer died, so you have this now. I'm really sorry.)

Eva held his gaze, her blush only deepening as he spoke those words. She looked to him , not knowing what to say, silently pleading him to take lead. To show how he felt about her. As the sun set, her eyes no longer fell on the sky, but lots themselves in his kind eyes.
----
Xylo wondered out loud "Do you think Fola would be able to find you if she left and tried to? Or would it be searching for a needle in a haystack?"

Lucas stared at her for awhile, then realized she was waiting for him to do something. He leaned in, and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I think she would be able to find me, us." River paused, studying his face. "What makes you ask that?"

Eva's eyes followed him as he kissed her on the forehead affectionately. They closed as she felt his warm, soft lips on her forehead, and opened as he pulled away. She looked at him in silent adoration, her eyes timid and loving as she looked up at him. Eva whispered "I...", her whisper cut off as she couldn't find the right words to say, so she just closed her mouth and looked at him shyly.
------
Xylo responded simply "In case we need more Aves to fight against the hunters or what not." He wasn't lying, that's actually what he thought. He felt harder times were on the way, especially with all those human bodies laying in front of the mansion.

Lucas watched her, his eyes kind. (Sorry, couldn`t think of what he could do.)

River nodded. "I`m afraid that day might be soon coming."

Eva crawled up to him and dared to lay against his chest, feeling the warmth and hearing the heartbeat of it echo in her ear. She folded her wings delicately so she didn't bump into him as she lay against his chest, closing her eyes slowly, apprehensive that he might not like it.
-----
Xylo muttered simply "that's just what I was thinking." Xylo simply added "We just need to be ready for that day, whenever it comes. That's all." He muttered teasingly "Luckily my vampire will drink all the enemy's blood."
