Chapter 309 - Three Hundred And Nine: Daddy Terror And Dearest Mommy Goody (2/2)

Left for me alone, I would have persuaded my father to adopt Neon and add his name to the family registry. But then, it wasn't our call to make since we have to take consent from his mother Jennifer and there was no doubt, she would agree right away - and that was the problem.

No matter how much we train Neon, Jennifer is still his mother and the same blood runs through his veins. What's the probability Neon won't change in the future and usurp a position that isn't his and wouldn't be his once he's adopted fully into our family?

Though I was sure that such a scenario would never happen especially now Neon's in the care of Reina, however, the human heart is wicked and one can never tell what would happen in the future.

”What the hell happened here?” Niklaus asked with a not so pleased expression - he was restraining his fury.

Since that question was directed at nobody in particular - thankfully - the three of them all began to speak at the same time. Though it was more of a squabble, the truth came to light.

Turns out that the kids have been binge-watching Teen wolf - I can confirm that - and got to the episode where Lydia and Stiles created a molotov cocktail they threw at Peter. So you could guess what happened next?

Reina's crazy, adventurous, risk-taking twins decided to create the molotov cocktail otherwise known as a petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, bottle bomb, poor man's grenade, firebomb - you name it - all by themselves.

How they even got the complete chemical by themselves scares me. Wait a minute, it shouldn't surprise me since they had an unlimited credit card to make their purchases - how do you think I did mine years ago?

Though I didn't understand what they said happened next - it was more of an argument between the trip-but it seems Neon unintentionally tampered with it and boom, the explosion - they were extremely lucky enough to have escaped unharmed.

”And what were you, Isabella doing?” Niklaus asked one strange question.

”What?”

”Where were you when all this was going on?”

I stared at my father in disbelief, ”You're not seriously blaming me for this incident, are you?”

”I'm not blaming you for this but you sure contributed to it,”

I scoffed, ”Allen and Ailee are responsible for this!” I pointed to him in case his sight was broken.

”Yes, because you didn't keep a close watch on them! ” he yelled at me.

”I am not their babysitter! ”

”You are more than that, you're their elder sister; a sister who's supposed to take care of them not ignore them while they stupidly put themselves in danger. Isabella, you are supposed to be the sensible one here, that's your responsibility now the family circle has grown,”

Guilt hit me hard as I realized my father was speaking the truth. I shouldn't have let them go ahead with their stupid plan when I sensed it earlier. What if they had hurt themselves? I was just too selfish to care because of yesterday's prank - call that childishness.

I was just about to open my mouth to apologize when Niklaus made a comment that made anger fill me.

”I'm so disappointed in you, Isabella,”

I clenched my fist, eyes simmering with rage. I wasn't the one who started the fire yet he hadn't scolded the kids who started the whole thing and took it out on me. Though the feeling was new to me but Instinctively, I knew elder siblings shouldered the whole blame in such a situation but my father's words really hurt me.

I was new at this big sister role of a thing - it has always been me and Niklaus- yet he didn't consider that and instead was quick to get disappointed in me? I gave Niklaus an icy look and left notwithstanding Reina calling after me.

I don't need her appeasement.

FUCK them all.
