What did you Do?!

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore had recently found out some highly irritating news to him, and for some reason he couldn't control his anger and found himself headed towards the source of the problem before he even realized it. Ignoring the arguments of his sister and anyone else who tried to stop him he angrily stomped his way down to the Herbology Greenhouses. 'I hope, Professor Styx has a good explanation for this.' When he reached the office door was he tempted to just barge in and begin to snap, but Theodore still had some small ounce of respect for the Professor and instead knocked loudly and waited to be invited in.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Upon hearing the door knocking, Kalif waved his hand at the door and it creaked open. Kalif ordered, "Enter."

 

[Theodore Snow]

When the door was creaked open and Professor Styx told him to enter his office Theodore stepped inside and slammed the door behind him. His emerald green eyes held anger in them as he walked over to Professor Styx's desk and crossed his arms once he was standing in front of it, just looking at the man boiled his blood. "What the hell did you do?" Theodore snarled as he flipped some of his blonde hair away form his face and glared at the man, of course he wasn't dumb enough to attack him or even begin to think that he could beat him, but he still knew speaking with him, whether angrily or not, was still acceptable.

"You married Nicolette?!" Theodore unfolded his arms and raised his hand up in the air, Nicolette was pretty much like the mother he never really had, it was bad enough that she had gotten pregnant from someone, but now she was married to one of his Professors! Maybe it was some sort of mistake or whatever, but whatever the case, Theodore was extremely upset and wanted an explanation!

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

The quill dropped at the sound of someone snarling as they entered the office. Kalif glanced up, his black eyes uncaring and cold, into the green eyes of Theodore Snow. The eyes narrowed and he warned, "I highly advise you to watch your tone, Mr. Snow, before you are sent out of this office voluntary or not." Kalif folded his arms across his chest and he leaned against his chair. "I hardly see how my martial status and to whom it is to is any of your concern, Mr. Snow." Kalif waited for Theodore's response. There was no expression across his features. Utter coldness.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore narrowed his eyes in return, he going to be far from dumb and attempting to attack him like others would, even if he wanted nothing more than to chuck a book at his head. Watch his tone? As if, Theodore was far too angry to even comply to that demand, maybe if Theodore felt less hurt he would actually listen, but as it went he felt like he had been struck in the back by a long time friend. "I don't want to watch my tone." He snarled feeling already intimidated by Professor Styx's coldness , but he wasn't going to let his fear push him down and make him look weak in front of someone like him. Although Theodore was angry, he felt safer in here with this creepy man than he did his own father, he seemed like he had more pride than Alphonse ever had.

"I think it does concern me, I've known her far longer than you have." Oddly enough it seemed that the Professor did know about Nicolette's long history with the Snow family, maybe it was best that he didn't or she could get in a load of trouble, he didn't want her to get in trouble because he accidentally spilled that she was a Death Eater to a Professor. "Nicolette was like my mother, and you just stole her away." He hissed, his eyes narrowing even more if possible. At one point, he did crush on her, but she was usually more like the mom he never had, she was always there when his real mother failed to be. And now she was suddenly gone and turning her full attention to her new family. "Do you even know who she is really is?" Why was he so angry about this situation?

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Why do people come crying to me about their problems? If they expect sympathy, they will be disappointed. Kalif shook his head and he stood up. His tall figure stared down at Theodore. Growing irritated, though it was not showing, Kalif murmured, "I do not want to have to shut you up myself, Mr. Snow. I will not be spoken to in such a ridiculous and bratty manner." His gloved hands held firmly to the desk, but the grip he had on the desk looked almost violent. If much more pressure was applied, the wood would surely give. "From the last I have heard, you are not her boss or her god. If you don't like the whole marriage concept, then go talk to Nicolette about it. I have no time to be wasted on such stupidity if you care about her so much." Kalif rolled his eyes. If he was talking about her being a Death Eater, then yes, he knew exactly what she was. "What are you implying there, Mr. Snow? If you think that this fit of yours will affect me, then you are wrong. I treat the marriage like I treat everything else. I just don't care. It is what is the best for the twins. If you have anything more to say, I suggest you do so now before I grow irritated."

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore felt stumped, surely this man was much more thicked headed and stubborn than Nicolette was, snorting as he turned his head he had to admit that he found it rather bold for someone to be so firm with him. not even if his own father could really handle Theodore's temper very well. "I am a brat, so I'm going to talk like this regardless of what you think." Theodore rolled his eyes as he stepped back a bit at the very sight of how tall this man really was, Theo himself was nearly six feet tall and the Professor still was able to tower over him. Maybe it was a mistake coming here to argue with him, but he had already spoken so he knew it was going to be useless to try and shut himself up now.

"I have tried talking to her, but the filthy traitor refuses to talk to me." It was true, Nicolette had been avoiding the entire family like they had the plague. It might have been because of her father or because Alphonse was on her case constantly, but it was annoying but she had no right to ignore them like she was. At the very mention of the twins Theodore froze and let one of his eyebrows raise, he had nearly forgotten that Nicolette was pregnant. "Wh-wait? Your the father?! But....I thought that mudblood Alexander guy was." Theodore asked dumbfounded, he had been told by the man himself that he was the father, and he hadn't been able to speak with Nicolette to check, so as far as he knew...that man had been right. What in the world was going on here, now Theodore was angry, confused, and feeling like Nicolette was just digging a bigger and bigger hole as the seconds ticked on.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

"Then no one will take you seriously, and thus, your talks and your actions will reflect that of a first year," Kalif spoke coldly. Kalif could not help but notice Theodore step back. A sign that was a good one, one that Kalif did not mind seeing at all nowadays. Backing down, but not the voice. "Yes, I am the father of the twins. Alexander claimed that pure-blood twins were his when the they really were not. I believe that is the reason why Alexander mysteriously vanish." Kalif shrugged and he raised an eyebrow, "Are you finished wasting my time, yet, Mr. Snow? Remember this, Nicolette makes her own choices. The world does not revolve around you and how you feel. Learn that so you will be able to actually grow up."

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore rolled his emerald eyes when Professor Styx accused him of reflecting a first year, so what if he was being sort of bratty, that jerk of a Professor pretty much stole one of the most important people in the world to him and seemed to not care at all. "Thats blood fantastic, she had your god*mn kids too." Theodore rolled his eyes and let his gaze fall back up to the ceiling, did Nicolette actually like him, psh there was no way she could like someone as cruel and rude and unpleasant as him, maybe she just like she was obligated because of the twins or something. Turning his head back to Professor Styx he gave him an odd look. 'If they have had kids, then that means..he's seen her...' Suddenly the look on his face turned from one of anger to one of worry and disgust, just the thought of the two of them...ugh.

"Again, you don't really know her, so how would you know?" He hissed stubbornly crossing his arms as he once again tried to not show that he bothered by Professor Styx or by the thought that Nicolette actually had his teachers children.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif shrugged, "Don't forget. You are related to them, and you are speaking to a man that can eliminate you easily. Respect the Head of the Zhefarovich family. You'll be in it soon enough, boy." Kalif walked out from behind the desk and stood before Theodore. His hand clinched the boy's shoulder rather tightly and he murmured, "Remember who you are dealing with. I brought fear in your father's eyes, whether or not he can be called a worthy man if I say so myself..." Kalif smirked a bit, a flash of evil went through his black eyes before they resumed back to their cold form. "I know much more than you think. Truly, how much do you know about Nicolette? I am positive that you know as much as I, if not less." Gloved hand released the shoulder, before Kalif walked to the door and he closed it, sealing it. "Considering this affects you more than I realize, spill everything you feel. Luckily I cannot be harmed emotionally."

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore hated the fact that the man had a point, he was related to those twins and the rest of that family due to the marriage of his father and his engagement to Aleyha. "Just because I'm related to them doesn't mean I'm going to respect them, they're only babies." He said wuth a roll of his eyes, he doubted he would ever really get along with those kids now, consider not only who their parents were, but if his assumptions were correct, they were pure bloods as well. Theodore had to admit that he was jealous, they would probably get lots of care, attention, and affection while he never really had any from either of his parents. "And I hardly call my father a man." He answered boldly as he tensed up greatly when the Professor clenched his shoulder tightly, so his own father and Professor Styx had met one another before, is that how he and Nicolette met as well..through Alphonse? Ignoring the evil he thought he saw in the mans eyes he watched as the door was closed tightly, pretty much sealing him in the room with a teacher whom Theodore was growing more and more suspicious of as the moments passed.

"Spill everything?" Theodore asked narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms again as he tried to remain calm and not freak out again. Professor Styx realized this affects him, but how would he know anything at all, he was only a teacher for crying out loud! "Do you think I'm retarded? I'm not going to risk getting myself into a mess by telling a Professor everything I feel, and Nicolette would tear my head off if I got her in trouble." He stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, he may have already put himself out there by admitting that he wasn't a model student, but it's not like he had said anything that bad yet. But still, he wasn't going to admit to a Hogwarts Professor his interest in the Dark Arts, and that the woman the Professor was married to was one who believed in the Dark Arts and things involved with it completely.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

"Do you really want me to answer that, Mr. Snow?" Kalif leaned against the door and he folded his arms across his chest. Kalif shrugged, "I'm not a moronic Auror, if that is what you are thinking. I know much more than you think. It is my job, as the Head." Kalif glanced at the ground, before he met the eyes of the young Slytherin. "I know of your interest in the Dark Arts. Your father is one of those people, and he killed his wife. Yet, he is still walking the streets today." Kalif smirked slightly, wondering if Theodore had caught the drift that Kalif knew more than it appeared. Nothing could be heard on the outside, thanks to a nifty spell. Everything that was said here would be confidentially.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore was officially creeped out slightly by how much Professor Styx seem to know about..well pretty much everything that most people would never know unless Theodore had told them himself. "How do you know all of this?" He had said that he was the head of the family, but did that really give him the authority to know pretty much everything about Theodore's life, maybe this man was okay to be trusted, he even knew about Teddy's desire to learn more about the Dark Arts and said he wasn't going to go off and tell, if this man knew that and about his father being a Death Eater.

"So you know that Niccy is a Death Eater....erm...sh*t." His eyes shifted around around, he hadn't meant to just spit that out like that, but it was tool late and it was out there in the open. His emerald green eyes scoped a quick look at Professor Styx, hoping that the man wouldn't go back on his word and decided to hand him or Nicolette in now. "Nicolette is gonna kick my a** now..." He straightened himself out, hopefully she wouldn't find out all together, but then again that woman had eyes and ears everywhere. She seemed to know whatever was said about her and when it was said too. "How much else do you know?" Did he know about her father, the killing, all the other weird things about her that no one else seemed to know or have the skill to figure out. How long had those two even known each other before they got married?

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif rolled his eyes, and he muttered, "You are apart of my family now. That tree in the Manor reveals everything, except the future. So, I know about you, and about most of the family that you have because of my father." Kalif's smirk fell from his face at his spilled information. It was as if Kalif were severely displeased about the information. "How would I not know? She showed me the mark herself. She seemed to be very proud of that tattoo. Though you are lucky that there is a spell that keeps all things that are said strictly in here. No one out there will hear the information spilled." Kalif glanced at the floor and he shrugged, "Probably a lot more than you think. And if I don't know something, then I can find out just as easily."

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore huffed slightly, so he and Professor Styx were related and there was nothing he could really say to be around it or ignore the facts, especially if Kalif seemed to know everything about him like he seemed did. "Thats just bloody brilliant. So those little brats of yours are like my what..cousins?" He snorted, Theodore hoped they didn't expect him to babysit them or anything, because he didn't really want to be friendly to any of them. A bunch of spoiled little pure bloods who were going to do nothing but rub in his face all the love and affection they would receive from everyone.

"She showed you her mark?" Theodore blinked, surprised that she would actually reveal something like that to him. 'Then again he is her husband.' Chances were she wouldn't hide things like that from him, even if there were a chance of her getting in trouble. "Nicolette is proud to be a Death Eater, she talks about it all the time." He rolled his eyes, the oddball even managed to convince him and his uncle that joining the Death Eaters would be in his best interest, Niccy was very convincing when she was angry or wanted something done. "So you know thats she's killed people, and happens to be a skilled Animagus?" Theodore was testing to see if Kalif really knew that much, there had to be something that man didn't know about her. Then again....they have had kids and ugh...this wasn't going exactly the way he planned it.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

"Cousins, yes." Kalif nodded once, but held his posture and his cold demeanor. Nothing Theodore would say could affect him. He nodded, "I did not ask to see it, but I can see that she is proud to be in something that is right according to her standards, and perhaps yours?" Kalif raised an eyebrow, and he smirked a bit. She is an animagus, and a cat. Though it was quite entertaining to tease her about. "Yes, Death Eaters tend to kill others so that is assumed, and I knew she was a cat as well." Kalif wondered when Theodore would be done with the whole question thing. It was growing irritating on how long it was getting.

 

[Theodore Snow]

So Theodore would have some new baby cousins to hear about now, he doubted he would really care in the end, but everyone always got excited over babies, especially Nicolette. Theodore had to also admit that he was impressed that Professor Styx knew so much about her, especially that she was an Animagus, she rarely told anyone about that ability of hers, even if she loved being cat almost as much as she loved being human. 'I guess Nicolette and Kalif are closer than I thought.' Narrowing his eyes he peered at the Professor closely, now Theodore was curious why she had hidden her relationship with this man from most of the Snows for so long, they were like her family and she didn't even invite them to the wedding. "Where the hell did you guys meet, and why didn't she bother to invite any of us to the wedding?" He snorted, it was typical of her to just leave something out like that. Flicking some of his hair out of his face he made sure not to look Professor Styx in the eyes, otherwise he was sure he'd want to back off and leave.

"She's probably proud because her parents were Death Eaters before they were killed, as for my terms...I'm not so sure yet." He shrugged his shoulders, he had a real eye opener into her life when she had bothered to tell him this. All his life Theodore had had thought that the Aurors were the good guys and the Death Eaters were bad, but the way Nicolette put it...they were all in equal terms. Both had their ups and downs, which he had to admit made him for comfortable about thinking of seeking the Dark Arts. "Nicolette did try to convince me to try...well more like she demanded. She's scary when she gets pissed off." He shook his head, trying to ignore that he seemed to almost suddenly be getting along with Styx, he had come here to be angry with him for marrying her, not conversing with about her.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif answered calmly, "In Brightstone. She bumped into me, and I threatened to kill her then. And the reason why no one was invited to the wedding is simple. I don't enjoy weddings, and she didn't want the attention. All it was was signed papers and that was it." Kalif hated weddings, especially when he was in them. Only two people were there, and they were needed for witnesses. "The whole wedding, the way it was, it was my idea. Blame me if you want." Kalif did not shift his posture, and he remained as still as ever, except for his slow and steady breathing. "I figured. A boy your age should not know which path he has chosen just yet. But in any case, she should never try to control your life. I have yet to see her pissed off; I doubt she would scare me however." There was hardly anything Kalif was scared of. Very few have tried things, and none have succeeded.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore blinked calmly before he snorted shifted, they bumped into each other and he threatened to kill her , sounded like a lovely relationship to him. Ir befuddled him how Nicolette would want to marry let alone do something with someone that threatened to kill her, it would seem like she want someone sweet and caring for herself, or maybe Professor Styx was perfect for her. Theodore had yet to really figure out relationships worked at all. "Really, it seems like she attracts attention no matter what she does." He shrugged his shoulders, still a little miffed that they didn't have a wedding, or even bother to tell anyone about it really. "Did you even bother to let anyone know, did she even want to marry you?" Besides the witnesses, did they even check to see fi there was anyone who didn't want them married, adults were so selfish at times, they trended to do things without thinking of what others thought first, for all he knew Kalif could have forced her into something...she was to air headed to force him herself.

"I am leaning towards the dark arts, once Niccy stops being a b*tch and gets less busy with those babies she's supposed to teach me some it." He answered and flicked some of his hair out of his face and answered calmly, perhaps Professor Styx was more into the dark arts then he lets on as well, but Theodore was going to be a moron and assume crap like that. "She promised to help me take down my father." Theodore said this in complete trust that Professor Styx wouldn't go off and tell his father that he had told him that, but it was Teddy's plan to someday overthrow his father and take the head position for himself or give it to someone else.

So Professor Styx had never seen Nicolette mad either, good thing he hadn't or he would have thought differently about their marriage. "Let's hope you never have to see her mad, as nice as everyone thinks she is...she's a real b*tch when she gets pissed off." He advised, wondering if her and Kalif had ever fought before, he had seen her fight with Alphonse before...so it wasn't like it was a sight he had never seen before.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Rolling his eyes, Kalif had no other choice but mentally agree with that statement. Kalif remembered back that day. She was so...dense. Though when she was pregnant, she seemed much more tolerable than usual. Kalif tolerated the more serious side to her, and loathed that bubbly quality she had. Kalif was not one to really like talking about his martial status, and whom to, to a young student of his. "No, I did not. Technically, it is not anyone's business except those involved. As far as I am concerned, she was marrying just me, not my entire family, as I to her, and not her - and your family." Kalif was a little more than aggravated by this point, but he continued anyway. Something told him that if he did not answer the boy's questions, neither would have piece of mind for the rest of the day.

Does he take me for a fool? "If she did not want to marry, I would have called the whole thing off, and that would have been it. I don't believe in forcing those to be married to another like some people. I assume that she too thought it was more of an understanding for the twins." Kalif fell silent, as he planned on only speaking that of which was highly necessary. He did not need to blow his disguise to some kid. That would be foolish. Theodore Snow was not a boy that Kalif could trust - no on in the school was for that matter. "There are others in the family who can teach you an art such as that. While you are in school, you cannot learn it, but during the summer or winter, depending on which part of the globe you are on, I will be there as well to watch over the kids and free up her own time. I really don't see your tantrum in this all if you just thought about it."

"As for taking down your father, I believe that it will be easier than you think it is now. My half-sister has to be working on him, breaking him down. It is her specialty - and I assume you have your own reasons for wanting to do such a thing to Alphonse," Kalif would not be in the way of that. He preferred to stay out of the Snow's business unless he and his family were directly involved. "If you are warning me to be nice or whatever to her to keep her from getting mad, then you will be disappointed. I have dealt with worse before, I am sure." Kalif had dealt with Asparuh once being so angry, it was as if the world itself could feel it. Though that was rare in itself, when Kalif himself had to go calm Asparuh down. The others around should consider themselves lucky Kalif could restrain Asparuh. Perhaps he was the only one who could. If Nicolette was worse than Asparuh, then Kalif would have to resort to different measures.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore rolled his eyes at Professor Styx's first comment, if he had been less intimidated by this man then he probably would have a lot more to say than he did, but as luck would have it, Professor Styx sort of scared the crap out of him. "Thats a lie, it's just as much business of others around you." Theodore objected loudly, wishing had had just kept his mouth shut so he wouldn't be yelling or acting on an impulse like he just had, but he felt that Nicolette was being selfish on not asking if anyone else had a problem with her getting married. "You know the whole if you think of any reasons these two should not be wed thing? I could have thought of plenty." He snarled, figuring that Professor Styx wouldn't care at all or even be the slightest bit affected by his anger, he doubted that man was afraid of anything really. Maybe Theodore was just jealous that someone important to him found new people to dote over, maybe he was afraid of being replaced and forgotten like his mother and father had done.

So the woman his father married was breaking him down? That made Theodore not only nervous but amused as well, so his father really was as much of an idiot as everyone pegged him to be. "I'm doing it because I hate my father and he lacks the skills to lead us all." Theodore shrugged, still feeling angry at Professor Styx over the whole marriage deal, he doubted he would ever get over it. And it's not like he could tell anyone about it either, they wouldn't understand how he felt. "I'm not warning you of anything, she seems to like you so I doubt she'll give you problems. Plus she's not that bad, just a pain in the a**." It was true, Nicolette wouldn't marry someone she disliked, and when she liked someone she rarely ever got angry around them or at them, her temper wasn't nearly as bad as his fathers or that purple eyed girl that followed Nicolette around.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

"Then tell me how it is any of the others' business; in particular, yours." Kalif was getting irritated, and his aura was revealing it, as the atmosphere seemed to get tenser than before. Kalif smirked slightly, "Actually, that was not what that wizard said. He just said, 'Sign here...and here.'" This kid was really getting under Kalif's skin. Was Theodore so dense, that he wasn't the one in the marriage itself? Did he think that the world revolved around him? "Really, name some reasons that would have affected Nicolette's well being in this marriage. Get it through that thick skull of yours that your reasons concerning your selfishness of how it will affect you will not be taken into consideration. Marriage is between two people, how much it will affect the future of their own lives, not about the family members or in your case, those who admire the woman from afar." Kalif's eyes narrowed, and he dared the boy to utter one thing about how it affects him as a being, and not Nicolette herself. Kalif rolled his eyes, "If the Snow family is taken over by a brat, so help your family. The government in there is weak and loose, so I don't see how it would get any worse - or better - with a teenager running it." Kalif ignored the last part of Theodore's words as it contained no importance.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore was not only highly annoyed, but shocked that nothing he said or did seemed to get into Professor Styx's head. Was he going to have to come straight out and just tell him that he thought the marriage was not only dumb, but something that beyond selfish. He ignored the words about the Snow being taken over by a brat, because Theodore was unsure if it would even be him taking over the family at the moment, so he couldn't really comment on it yet. However when Kalif pretty accused him of pretty much admiring or liking Nicolette, he turned and glared at him with darkened emerald green eyes, if the air wasn't tense already knew knew that him and Professor Styx were close to killing one another. "I do not like her, she can burn in hell for all I care." Theodore hissed, besides he was engaged to someone that meant far more to him and even hurt him less than she had. Adults were so dumb and never bothered to care about what about what others would think about the poor decisions they make.

"I know something that affects her..." Theodore knew he should just shut his mouth now before he spilled everything that Nicolette was probably trying to keep from everyone. But at the same time he knew it would make him right, and probably save her life in the end. "When her adoptive father sees that she not only got married but has children, he's going to kill her...well....rather he was going to kill her anyways." He shrugged his shoulders as he stared at Kalif calmly, he had heard of this James man one to many times already and he sounded like he was one twisted person. "And he's in New Zealand looking for her...at this very minute, my father says she doesn't stand a chance." Theodore wondered if the man was really that powerful, but chances were that if his father had put alert on this man..he was someone to worry about. He could most likely kill them all without hesitation.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif smirked at the reaction he received, and leaned off the door, the first movements from him other than talking since he leaned on the door to begin with. "If you don't like her, than why make a big fuss about the marriage? Your reasons are flawed, Mr. Snow." Kalif approached him slowly, hearing about this adoptive father. Kalif stated coldly, "Do you honestly think that the Zhefarovich's will stand to see one of their members die? If you were worried over some mudblood killing her, then you should be relieved that she is now under the protection of this family. Without a firm hold in the family, such as a marriage, she would be in more danger than she would by her marriage to me." Kalif stopped and he was directly in front of Theodore, a distance that is a little too close for comfort, as if Kalif would snap and just beat this kid to a pulp. "One mudblood against a single Zhefarovich like myself, that man does not stand a snowball's chance in hell. Remember just how vicious the family can be, because Aleyha's beatings is nothing compared to what someone like Asparuh or Axel or even myself know how to do." The family was dangerous, and this kid needed to know that. Family meant everything to the Zhefarovich's, but one betrayal then they were wiped out completely.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore watched as Professor Styx leaned off the door and moved closer to him, which made him very uncomfortable because if wanted, Kalif could probably hurt him with a seconds notice. Willing himself to calm down enough so he think of a response he wondered if these people would actually be able to take out James like that. "I don't think your family is going to stop him at all, he's killed hundreds and one more is going to make no difference to him." He answered calmly, remembering the book he had filled with all those helpless people he had killed in it, apparently he did human experimentations on people as well and such, it was almost hard to believe that someone as bubbly as Nicolette was raised by someone who was so cruel? Flicking some of his hair out of his face he blinked up at Professor Styx.

"He'll find a way around all of you if he has to, if he wants her dead he'll kill her. He'll kill your sons too if he finds out they exist." He threw his hands up in the air, his voice being raised a little, they might stand a chance, but chances were likely that he would have killed Nicolette before they even realized it, apparently he had harmed not only her but his father many times as children as well. "Her parents are dead because of him, he beat her as a child, and if he finds her...he's going to tear her up....you guys will merely be an obstacle to him...he might even ignore you all completely." If this didn't work than he had nothing else to say to them, he couldn't stop them from thinking that this man was going to be easy to eliminate. "Do you even care if she gets killed or not?" Theodore wanted to mentally slap himself, he had to care a little if he was married to her and all, but some part of him doubted that Kalif even the slightest bit cared for her.
