Blood ties
Melina became upset at her sister Paula's lack of loyalty for the preservation of her sister Mia. The way it worked was it was alright for the sisters to fight amongst each other but damn it to hell you allowed another to do the same .
She had to stop the utter betrayl of the blood as she was ferious with Paula and her selfish antics . She marched to the woods like she was seeking comfort from her thoughts to march back inside the home and put a hole in her sister Paula to remind her the consequences for betraying her own family.
The hunter sat on the end of his log as he felt the rush of hurt and frustrated aggervation in Melina . He tried to pry into her mind but he felt he was locked out as Melina was inconsolable. He saw Melina holding the gun in her hand as she hadn't put it back still deciding what to do.
" Little one do you really need that ?" He said pointing towards the weapon. He feared for the girl.as he saw what was happening as he saw Melina protect her home.
" I should curse the hell out of her. Make her understand the consequences of her betrayal to her own." Demanded Melina .
" Little one than you will be cursing yourself in return." He tried to reason with the clearly angry little girl.
" What the hell are you talking about?" Mused Melina as now she listened to the words that slithered out of his mouth.
" To curse or harm ones blood by magick or by malicice would trickle down the bloodline and hit you in the end." He explained .
" Your blood is connected to her and thus you may curse your own generation in the path of your retribution." He said as he reached for the gun to remove it from melina's hand.
Melina moved her hand back seeing how he saw her within danger of her gun as she placed the gun behind her . Then placed it on the ground. She didn't like what he had said and he probably thought she would shoot him after what he saw earlier.
" So I can't do anything to her. To my father. To my mother. To all these horrible people that deserve to be held accountable for what they do to me . " Melina said in frustration as she let out a scream.
" Everything you do to someone it trickled down the bloodline to the next generation and the next . It can even go to their children even your own children. Making hasty choices in the moment won't do anyone any good if you eraticate your entire bloodline over your need to correct their behavior. " He explained as Melina felt overwhelmed and needing to hit something knowing anything she did would come back to her because of her blood ties to her family.
" It is just unfair. I can't even punish my family because it will come back to me ." Screamed Melina. " Because of my dirty filthy blood they get a pass." She screamed.
The hunter looked at her as she vented out her frustration of the laws that was bound by magic. Magic wasn't like the movies or stories it had rules and consequences and everything came back around no matter the reason. This was upsetting to Melina as she didn't understand what good was her role in her path if she couldn't destroy the ones who hurt her the most.
Melina didn't choose her family and she knew that this face was one of the uncertain libererties she was denied. In life there was certain things you were never given a choice .
You gender, you name, your birthday, your race or the family you were born in. This was all truths that hurt worse than knowing she was helpless against her family and if one day she would find a reason to harm them then it will come back to her. So Melina did the one thing she knew she could. She stripped the magic from them because bad people didn't deserve gift to protect the innocent. Because they were not going to use it for good just selfish reasons . She held the colors she stripped for future generations to have it . For the worthy heart of a worthy family.
This she could do . She can remove the protections. She can strip them until a better generation a more deserving generation was born. If her family had any hope for survival from each other she couldn't have them with the power to use against each other if all the paths of destruction came right back to them.
Melina went back inside as she put the gun back where she got it from as neither sister spoke to her what had happened today. Today enough was done. Enough was said . What was done was done .
