Summary: Cathy finds out how horrible it is in the care of Mrs. Timels, and also finds out, she is in dire need of excaping her wrath, or something horrible may befall upon her.

Things were normal around the house the day that she arrived, though.. little did the house know that it was her day to arrive. Jacquelyn, the manager and Mother of the House, had been notified many weeks in advance, everyone who was in her Ward knew that the girl would be arriving. Eric, the titled Father and leader of the rebellious fraction, had not been told about the arrival.. nor had anyone mentioned the name of the girl around him,..though many of the fraction knew about her, they had thought he would’ve known he minute Jacen was told.
Jacen Izaak, son of Jacquelyn and her last lover.. Eric’s brother, Thomas, had became friends instantly with his uncle–knowing somehow that his mother was some evil bitch from some other world.. He was what one would call, the Battle Commander, the strategic one of the group. His partner, of course, had to be someone with no brains, well, almost none– her name was Alex. She was an alcoholic, pothead, crack whore; if you could hand it to her, she’d take it. She also depended on Jacen like he was her life’s only support. But,.. Jacen and Alex had gotten out of Jacquelyn’s care two days before the arrival, and Jacen hadn’t thought about it–knowing that only minutes until his exit of his mother’s torture house.

Well, let us begin at the arrival then,..oh, and..to let you know, I am Cathy and Eric’s first son, Trent Alixendar. You’ll learn more about me later..but now, to the story, eh? Happy reading.. Lovers.

Cathy.. She was the girl, everyone knew that when Jacquelyn brought a new arrival into the home, everything went to hell until the person got used to the house–and it’s specialties.
“ Um.. Jacquelyn.. Or, should I call you mother? How many other siblings will I have? ”
Of course, Cathy was only about seven years old, but she was different than other children–she was like Eric, and Thomas..and of course, Jacen. She didn’t know exactly how many children that Jacquelyn had, so it had seemed appropriate in her mind to ask the question–though now she thought it a bad idea..
“ Keep your mouth shut until we reach the fence, I will answer all of your questions there, Persephone. ”
Persephone? Who in their right mind would name a child that? Well, Cathy wasn’t about to have herself named ‘Persephone’, but she wasn’t going to speak out again before the fence–which wasn’t so far away now, so she decided to stay quiet until they reached the house.


“ Persephone, you may speak now, and.. To answer your question, there is four wings of my house, fifteen children live in each wing, and ten live in a special wing in the middle of the house,.. Special treatment–because they’re good children. ”
So, she had seventy children living in this place?
“ Oh,.. Two of the wings are empty at this time.. Though, I’m placing you and a few of the other children into one of the empty ones.. Because, well,.. I don’t like emptiness. ” Well ok Ms. I’m all high and mighty..go ahead.
“ Ms. Timels, I’m sorry to correct you, but my name is Catherine, not Persephone. ”
Well,... are you going to ground me or what old hag?
“ Oh, Such a cute name,.. I can call you Cathy then, can’t I? ”
She smiled subtly..the old hag can do something right.
“ I love that name, Mother.. ”
They exited the car hastily because the butler seemed rather rude about hurrying along with his other chores, and rushed to the front doors of the house where two other butlers opened the french glass front doors–she looked up and was in awe until Ms. Timels talked again.
“ Well,.. Once I place your name on the roster, right here, ” She held up a clipboard with a piece of paper on it, “ then you can go meet the other five children I have assigned to your ward. ”
Without any notice of any gestures or anything two women came down the stairs to the right, and one almost grown looking man, two teenagers, and two other children about her age followed behind them, while two grown men brought up the rear.
“ Are.. Those my siblings? ” They look like drones! Though, she had noticed something different about the man, teenage boy, and the girl that looked her age..
“ Yes,.. Eric, Thomas, Rodney, Tina, and... I think her name’s Jill. ”
They seemed nice enough names, but..where they nice kids?
“ I will..be living with them? Up....there? ”
She blinked, looking up where they had gone, three flights up, into the northwest wing.
“ Of course, now.. Let’s get going! We mustn’t waste time, none of them know you were coming, they’ll be so happy to meet you! ”
Of course they will, I just took them away from their friends because I moved into your retched house, you old haggid bitch. Oh, my, friggin, god.. She almost started yelling when the old bitch decided that because she wasn’t moving she needed to pull her along.
“ I -can- walk, ya’know. ”
She huffed, and began to stomp up the stairs, hurrying to the third floor where the children had gone.
“ Which room? ”
“ Left, number 253. ”
She pulled the doorknob and found the two women on the floor, and of course–the two men had left when they had known the girl’s would be fine.
Oo, I’ve got some sneaky siblings.. I think I’ll like it here. She thought of burning the house down for only a moment before her fingers flicked with the kerosene like blue flames, and the teenage boy caught sight of them before she closed her hand.
“ Let the new one in, Rod’rick. ”
The tall buff eight or nine year old moved out of the doorway and let her past,..
“ Good bye, Jacquelyn. ”
And the boy obediently shut the door on the wench, and then turned around to face Cathy, and the other four children, time for.. Check in.
“ Name, Age,.. We don’t need anything else. ”
Ooh, lookie lookie Cathy,.. You’ve got new play friends.
“ Catherine Summers, Seven.. Well, maybe I’m nine now. I don’t remember. ”
Eric, lifted his head as he heard the last name, he had been resting on one of the larger beds in the room, and he was shifting his hand through the older girl’s hair.
“ Eric Timels, Seventeen,.. Fire girl. ”
Cathy wanted to go slap him, but the girl lifted her head and glared at her before speaking.
“ Tina Wells, Nineteen. Pyromaniac. ”
The youngest there decided to peep up, not knowing really why she did.
“ Jill Anders, Five and a half. Burn wood lately? ”
How did they all know? And.. another older kid lifted his head out of the kitchen in that room.
“ Thomas Riles, Twenty and half. You don’t have to worry about the fire alarms.. ”
She heard his chuckles–-he was quiet handsome, and.. most likely a great pick for a partner-–which, she would most likely get one in the next few days. She turned back to the one who had held the door.
“ And you are? ”
“ Rod’rick Riles, eight and half. I can blow out anything you start. ”
Again,.. What the hell was going on here? She hadn’t let anyone see what had been in her hands, so.. How the hell did they know?

“ Let it go, Cathy... We all know, because.. Well, we all know. ”
Eric smiled, jumping off the bed and before she knew it a black cat was climbing up her back, which–induced the flames to climb up it.. “ Calm yourself, though I can-not be harmed by your flames, you still have not harnessed it fully. ”
Oh, I’ve not harnessed it? Fuck you, I’ll show you harnessed it. Before anything time had passed the flames had taken care of the cat’s fur, and the sheets in the room–the only reason that the other four had not been killed by her beautiful licking flames was because Thomas–the psychic of all things-had protected them. She pulled back, and let the flames lick at the places where Eric had dug himself in, and healed herself.
“ Now what were you saying? I can’t,.. Harness my power? You, pussy cat, need to have a change of heart. ” And she smiled at her own little pun, before shoving the door open, and closing herself in the adjacent room.

“ Well, Eric, you sure have made her feel welcome, I believe you made me feel that same way, though–-I wasn’t as powerful as she. ”
“ Yeah Eric, looks like Pyro gal’s a bit above the rest,.. Eh? ” Thomas chuckled, inwardly hoping he would not be partnered with her–he would be able to protect everyone from her, but..he didn’t know how he would protect himself; if he got emotionally attached to her.
Tina gave Thomas a little shock which quickly made him shut up, and then looked over the Jill, “ Maybe we should go talk to her? ”
“ No, Eric should clear his own business up, or send Thomas in there, she felt..connected to him. ” Empathy, not the greatest power–but one that many could not pick up in the eyes.
“ Haha. I’m not going in that room with Prya-the-fire-burning-girl. Eric can skin his kitty hide all he wants, but mine’s staying right here. ” Well, that about settled it, considering-–they couldn’t have her burning down the house.
“ Ok, but,..if I don’t come out in five minutes, come in after me. ” Everyone nodded, and he left the room in that singed black cat fur of his.

He simply changed back into his human form as he got into the hallway, and with his over extended strength, opened the locked door. “ Catherine? ” He stuttered lightly as he entered the room. Why in the sam hell was he acting this way? Finally, he saw her body on one of the beds, and he decided to sit next to her.
“ Why, are you here? Have I not made it clear, I want to be alone? I didn’t know everyone here was so.. Weak. ” Well, wait–-yes she did know they were weak, otherwise Thomas would not be here at his age.
“ They’ve decided we’re partners. ”
It was a lie, but..if it kept her from killing him, then..who cares?
“ And..I look like I need a partner,..why? ”
“ Because, You are too young to travel the house alone, Jacqueline’s orders. And, because.. Thomas is afraid of you, so it must be me. And, if you’ve not forgotten, then your now related to the wench who everyone but I, calls mother. Oh, maybe.. They’ll call you mother, considering I am their father now, since..my brother died. ”
Why was he offering so much information about himself and about everything else that went on in the house before her arrival? Did she care about this house?, No. Did she care about the people living in it?, Well.. Now she had to care for one.
“ I am, and always will be, Catherine Summers. I will not be called Catherine Timels. Or call me,..Flamboyant. No, call me Liz. L-i-z will be the only letters you can say before I fry your ass. ” Eyes narrowed before those Kerosene colored flames licked her hands and showed in her blue eyes. “ Want to leave, or will the cat be fried again? ”
He moved over, shoving his lips on hers, and the flames licked around him, tearing away his skin but he did not remove himself from her, she would have to figure out how to keep the flames from hurting him, now that they were named for each other. And..soon she did, the flames bursting over him, licking at his body just like they did hers, but not hurting one bit of her.
He smiled softly, letting his tongue reach into her mouth. And she didn’t know what he was doing, though she wasn’t losing control of the flames, which told him she was much more powerful than Tina. He released her mouth from his own and the flames disengaged themselves from his body and returned to her palms, which she began to flick around slightly.
“ Is that your idea of a training lesson? ”
She was good at speaking up, and if he hadn’t noticed, she wasn’t a seven year old little girl, she was about nineteen, long red-brown hair, pulled back into a nice, but sloppy bun. Eyes of the most natural blue anyone could’ve ever seen in their lifetime.
He blinked softly, moving back a bit. How would Thomas react to seeing this? “ Would you come back..and talk with the others? ”
“ Eh, if it’ll make you happy, but..this is my room. ”
He chuckled and then stood up, waiting for her, and then twined his fingers into hers as they walked over to the other bedroom.


Silence commenced as they entered the other bedroom, though they had been talking just minutes before–Thomas and Rod’rick almost fainted when they saw who was clinging to Eric’s arm, she was.. A fantasy, not a live person!
“ Eric,..you know you can’t let the Porno girls in the house..” It was the little girl who had spoken up, though she knew endefiantly that the girl was the Pyro who had been in the room just moments before.
Thomas blinked again as he looked up and down the new girl before him, her hair sparkling lightly from the recent touch of her flames, her short shorts,.. Her baggy sweater.
“ Thomas, stop staring at my Partner. ” Eric’s voice was cold, devoid of emotion. He wasn’t going to have someone looking at his possessions.
“ Eric Timels, who named you two partners? ”
Tina blurted out, and then at the same moment Cathy rose her hand to slap Eric, but he caught it, pressing his lips against hers, yet again bringing the fires to life as they flicked against him. She controlled them beautifully, knowing now she could delve into the kiss while not even needing to control them–-her body and mind knew how to control the flames. Her own tongue seized the battle with his, exploring every inch of his mouth before he pushed away from her, letting the flames build up in her palms.
Thomas wanted to go and beat the crap out of Eric for that show, but, he knew that he could’ve never have been able to keep the flames from licking him–-though he knew it was Cathy who kept them at bay.
“ Ok Eric, you’ve proved your point. But, you two will not be partners until Sam says so. Remember, she loves you? ”

Eric swore. That girl never gave up, and she was determined to have him as her Lifemate.
“ I would rather Thomas, he seems more powerful. ”
Eric laughed, and when the laughing subsided from him, he chuckled until someone spoke.
“ Eric, no need to laugh. Thomas is appropriately designed to defeat you on the battlefield, though you will always have the most power, and the upper hand to everything. ” It was the little girl who offered the information, and then she began to twiddle her ankh, and drew up a web of protection about herself.
Cathy was impressed, though the girl was five–not many witches found their calling until their thirteenth birthday.
“ Jill, your doing it all wrong. ”
She had dabbled[alot] in magic, especially the magic that included the Egyptian sex object–the ankh. She knew the exact words, the exact every things. She knew that Jill was just starting in the way of the Egyptian, so she wondered what other cultures she had already learned.
“ Use my flames, they will teach you the words. ”
She let her fingertips flicker with the kerosene colour’d flames, knowing they would not hurt the girl if she connected through them. And Jill was defiant at first, not wanting to have her skin pealed off by the flames, but she endefiantly placed her hands against Cathy’s and let the power flow into her.
Soon her web of protection was more, it was a binding of her soul to the place–-which she could remove at any moment–-it was a circle, diamond; of protection and health. And she knew all the symbols and the words to conjure the exact same circle again. “ Thank you, Cathy, for sharing. ”
