Makota huggled his mother happily. He didn't understand the tension between Jared and their mother. Maybe it was because for years Jared had held onto the hope that she would come for them...then she never did. It had crushed Jared when she hadn't. So much had happened including himself being tortured. Jared had never forgiven himself for not having paid more attention to the fact threats were around. Even though they hadn't been long and it wasn't his fault radical anti-vampirists preyed on him because he was weaker. He Smiled though as he felt her soft kiss to the top of his head. "They take after me and Lily both." He said honestly. He hoped they liked their grandmother. He had a feeling they would.<br/><br/>Jared scowled at the touching reunion between mother and son. Too fucking bad he didn't trust her anymore. He wouldn't forgive her for never showing up. He couldn't. He almost lost Makota because she never came for them. Because she had not woken up for a very long time. He hated that. He hated that because she hadn't come for them Makota ended up tortured because he hadn't been strong enough to keep him safe. He just looked at her with a sharp gaze. "Its not Vladamir anymore. Its Jared." He said in an icy tone.<br/><br/>His mother didn't know just how much hell he went through to raise him and his brother in her absence. "Yes. I didn't want to come by the way." He said. He couldn't forgive her. She didn't understand. Looking away from her. "You just don't get what you vanishing did to us. What it did to me." He said in an edgy tone. "What it cost Makota..." He said in a softer voice. "Until you do we have nothing further to say to each other." He leaned against the wall with a bad boy stance. Arms crossed over his chest. He heard Makota protest the way he was talking to their mother.<br/><br/>He humphed and looked at the ground instead of Aleera. Speaking to Makota. "She doesn't get it. She thinks coming back after all these years will make it all better but it doesn't. She doesn't know how much it destroyed me to lose her only to find out she was with her lover boy for years instead of with us." He looked at Aleera. "You don't get it. Why is it so hard for you to understand? Do you know the dangers we faced as vampire kids? Do you know how hard it was for a twin to raise himself and his twin in a world that despised them for being what they were?" He asked in a soft voice. A single tear managed to trail down his cheek. Quite visible as it was a red blood tear. "Why didn't you come for us mom? Why did you leave us on our own for so long?"
