Okay then, Shadow sighed with relief. Wow, I guess I hadn t
realized Alexi and I weren t the only ones in the room freaking out.
Since we read the books already, Uncle Maze and I will give you
stinky kids baths.
Thanks, brother, I said, letting the emotion show in my voice.
He simply nodded and went into the bathroom to get the tub ready.
Maze rounded up the twins, and I was once again astonished by how
well-behaved they were. They didn t put up a fight, though Jade did
inform him that they normally took their baths at night. Whoopsies!
So they re really okay? Alexi asked hesitantly when we were
alone with Horse and Bren.
Everything looked good to me. He shrugged. I m not a doctor,
but after looking at your scans and how your heart sounded, theirs
aren t beating like that. The valves looked proportional, but again,
they have tiny hearts. I d still get them checked out.
Of course, I immediately agreed. All four of us sighed in relief
though as we plopped on the floor and leaned back against Jade s bed.
We really need to get other furniture in this room.
We already ordered some, Horse said sheepishly. We got
excited when we found white kids furniture with little tiaras painted
on it.
And the pink couch. Bren snickered.
Thanks, guys, Alexi said, and I was glad he wasn t upset either.
There was so much to think of when it came to the twins it was just
nice to have help. Then he asked me the most random question. Why
don t you like Christmas trees?
Where did that come from? I chuckled.
102 Joyee Flynn
I was thinking all the fun stuff we could do with the twins for
Christmas and I thought about decorating a tree with them and
remembered you said you hated them. Why?
Because they re everywhere in the North Pole, I grumbled.
And those little pine needles hurt. You get all full of sap when you
touch them and you can t get it off.
Tell him the real reason, Chiquita, Horse said quietly.
That is the real reason, I replied and then sighed. But not the
only reason. I took a deep breath and slid my hand in my mate s.
You re not the only one who s been abandoned by their parents.
Tell me. Alexi deserved to know the truth but it wasn t an easy
story to tell.
My parents weren t good elves, I whispered as I closed my
eyes, memories assaulting my senses. I don t even know if they were
ever captured or are still alive. The Council ordered their death, but
the only way an elf can be killed is by the Council. I was a little older
than the twins when they were found out to be using their magic for
evil. The last time I saw them we went to look for a tree for the house.
We walked for a while and I remember thinking I couldn t wait
to find one so we could have some hot chocolate because I was cold.
Then I turned around when I found the perfect tree and they were
gone. They must have teleported back to the house or gods knows
where. But I was old enough to have magic. I just didn t know how to
use it yet.
They just abandoned you in the middle of the woods in winter?
Alexi was horrified by the idea.
I think it was the only decent thing they ve ever done, I
whispered and turned so I was lying on his chest. They did it so
when the Council guards swarmed the house to get them I wouldn t
be there. Granted, they weren t there either, but I guess they didn t
want to risk that I d get hurt in the cross fire. They just didn t take me
on the run with them. I m glad they didn t.
Shove Your Tree 103
Still, they were your parents and you were just a child. Alexi
hugged me tightly to him and kissed my hair. I won t ever leave you,
Chiquita. I love you.
I love you, too. I took a deep breath and told him the rest. I
was too young to know what was going on, and I thought they just
lost me at first. I sat by that damn perfect tree for hours, thinking
they d just teleport to me. I figured that way I wouldn t lose which
tree I wanted by wandering around looking for them.
I was too far away to know which way the house was. I must
have fallen asleep at some point because I woke to a Council guard
picking me up. I was frozen solid, whimpering I couldn t leave the
tree because my mom and dad told me to pick a perfect one. He told
me they were being hunted because they were evil and abandoned me.
