Tyler's chest twisted at the thought of what had happened. What the effects had BEEN that had echoed this far into the future... A couple of incidents in their childhood made so much more sense... He remembered times where his mother had looked so scared staring off into space... She and his Dad had played it off as headaches...
And he had BELIEVED that?
"We decided you were old enough, mature enough, to know." Jack added on.
Tyler glanced between his mother and father, gut instinct telling him that wasn't the ONLY reason...

Hotaru, who had managed to calm down now that the overall explanation of that horrible time was over, took the bottle of pills and put it back in her purse. "Well, that and there's one other thing."
Emma looked back and forth from her mother and father, what else was there to all of this?
The redhead was silent for a moment before finally speaking again. "There were three people who took me." She began. "Our friend Cross, you know Adriana's mother, and another woman took out one. Aiden and Minori got the one that murdered Matsuda." She didn't want to outright say they KILLED them, the last thing she wanted was to make them sound like murderers, even if it WAS just.
"Though, the last one, the one we're pretty sure is the guy that did this to me, he survived." She sighed quietly. "That boy that you've mentioned, Daemon I think?" She turned to Jack. "Well, your father found out that he's his son."

Tyler's reaction was an abrupt lunge to his feet, muscles quivering with restrained energy. "I KNEW something was wrong with him!" His fist slammed into his open hand, the pieces coming together. No WONDER Daemon had given him such a bad feeling if he was the son of a psychopath... or sociopath.
Jack held up a hand. "Slow down, cowboy," he said to quell his son's burst of semi-righteous, if not misplaced, anger. "We know there's a connection, but we told you so you'd be CAREFUL... not so you'd go and start a fight."
"But he-!!"
"Is NOT the one that hurt your mom," Jack's voice was stern as he spoke to his son. "That was his father. It's possible he might take after him, but it's not something we know for sure." He turned to look to his daughter as well. "We want you both to be safe, you're smart kids but this was something you needed to know."

Emma had stayed silent while her brother and father spoke, thinking to herself as she stared at her lap. "Dad's right, Tyler." She said softly, deciding to speak her thoughts. "Daemon gives me the creeps too, but it's... I don't know, more of an awkward uncomfortable way?" She shrugged, not sure how else to describe it. "Artemis though, there's something seriously off with her, I can tell from how she looks at me..."
Hotaru raised an eyebrow at her daughter. "There's another one?" Just when she thought things couldn't get worse.
The grey eyed twin nodded. "His sister, she's our age." She shook her head quickly though to dismiss the thought for now. "But that's another story, what I wanna know is how come Perri and Roman don't know anything about this? Or Anya?"
"Anya does know." The redhead quickly answered. "She's known for a while now, but not the others.." It had been up to each of the parents to decide when their kids would find out, that was just what they had all agreed on.

Tyler frowned. If she had KNOWN she should have told them... he didn't really blame his parents for not telling Emma and him, but... It didn't seem like Anya to withhold something like this... "Okay sure, but why not Roman and Perri, though?"
"That's your aunt's decision," Jack replied. "She'll let them know when she thinks is best..." Though Jack was a little afraid that might be 'never.' Roman and Perri should have been told a LONG time ago about what happened to their father in his opinion...

Emma frowned. "But that's not fair, they have the right to know now!" Roman and Perri were two years older than Tyler and herself, if THEY were old enough to know then certainly their cousins were. All those rumors that were spread around school about how Uncle Matsu had died, they were all far from the truth, and her cousins couldn't even properly deny them because they were never told the full truth...
"Yes, they do." Agreed Hotaru. "Trust me, we're all frustrated that they haven't been told yet, but it's just not our place to tell them." It had been eating at her for years now, it was beginning to look like the blonde twins would never find out.

"But what if they NEVER get to find out?" Tyler exclaimed, arms thrown out a bit from the force of trying to express his frustration.
"They'll be told eventually, Tyler," Jack admonished gently. "I promise, but again, it's Keisko's decision to make, not ours."
Tyler huffed a little as he sat back down, simmering quietly in his own dissatisfaction with the situation at hand....

Hotaru look over at Tyler. "I'm sorry Sweetie, but that's just how it has to be." She sighed and looked down at her stomach, laying her free hand over where her unborn child was growing. "We tell our own kids because you're our responsibility. Once your little sibling gets to a certain age we'll sit them down and do the same thing."
Emma couldn't help but frown, she still didn't think it was right.
