Chapter 385 - 385 Truth of the Family Tree

Ketan climbed in the driver's seat and found the keys. "I will drive us back to the house. Leo, you calm down in the back." 

Rex climbed in the front seat and waited. "There is nothing that is the matter with being angry. It is just that your emotions are going to cause your transformation undone. You will have to watch, Kitten. She is going to lose it on me." 

Leo climbed in the back seat and sat there in deep thought. "I am sorry. I did not mean to lose my control like that. Jenna does not normally bother me but today was kind of my last straw." Leo let out a deep breath.

As the car got closer and closer to the house the rain got heavier and heavier. Ketan stopped in front of the house and frowned. "There isn't by any chance an umbrella in here, is there?" 

Kitty got up from the table. "I will be right back." She ran to the door and pulled out three umbrellas. She slipped on her shoes and ran to the car. She was under a big black umbrella at Leo's door. She opened the door and looked at him. "Are you alright?!" 

Leo got out and took the umbrella from her. "I am better now that I am here with you." He kissed her lips and took the other two umbrellas and tossed them in the front. He slammed the door and walked inside with Kitty. "I only had a flare-up of anger due to the childish behaviour of my worker. I can not believe how childish that was. Like, come on. We have a lot to get done and time is precious."

"Ah. That I can understand I see that you brought back another soul with you." Kitty didn't bother turning around. 

"Yes, I think that it is important that the two of you sit down and chat. It is not like it will be every day that the two of you will be reunited." Leo opened the door for her and waited for her to go inside before following her in.

"Okay, go and have a shower and I will finish up my meeting and send my co-workers off to their hotel. I just want it to be a family that hears what has to be said." Kitty sighed and walked Leo to the stairs. She stands on her tiptoes and kisses him before going back to the dining room. "I have decided that it will be this picture and if you guys do not mind could I ask you to retire for the evening?"

"Of course! We will take our bus to the hotel. You do not need to worry about us. I hope that it clears up so that we can continue with our work. I will drag Riccardo with us." Liz helps clean up the hair designs and gets up. 

Janet handed Charlette to Luke. "She is very precious. She smiled and patted on Michelle's arm.

Michelle looked at Kitty and nodded. She got up and collected the rest of the designs. "If you think of anything please let me know." She hugged Kitty then whispered in her ear, "if you need us just call." 

Kitty whispered back, "thank you for the concern but it will be fine. Be safe on the trip back." She let go of Michelle and hugged Janet then Liz. "I will see you guys out." She leads the group to the front door. 

Ketan and Rex walked through the door and Ketan dragged Rex up the stairs until the two were standing in Ketan's room. "We might be dry but it is not normal with that storm. We can not let the humans see us." 

"I am aware of that child. I am used to not getting wet from the rain. The humans are loading up in the bus that was out front. They will be all gone in a moment." Rex sat on the chair and waited. 

Leo knocked on the door. "Come on, it is safe to go down now. I know that they are still here but they are all leaving now." He left the door and walked down the stairs and there was Kitty standing there waiting.

Rex followed Leo down and saw the angry look on Kitty's face. "Kitten, I am really sorry." 

"Don't you, Kitten, me, Berith!" Kitty turned away and stormed into the living room. 

Rex let out a sigh and followed her and sat down across from her. "Kitsune, you know that I could not come even if I wanted to. I know how much she meant to you."

"I wanted you to come back and you left me alone." Kitty started crying. "Grandfather, are you back now?"

Leo sat down next Kitty and pulled her in. He didn't speak but just held her. 

As the rest of the household came into the living room. "Since everyone is here that needs to hear this. I am Berith, the demon lord of the north. I have been alive for I think five thousand years but it could be more. About seventy-five years ago I found the one that changed my life. I swore that I would be there for her but the hunters got her when our daughter turned ten. I was devastated. I went on a rampage and killed the hunters involved." Rex let out his breath. 

Kitty stopped crying and stared at Rex as he finally was coming clean about what happened. 

"I blamed myself for her death. I was a life bearer in the past and I did not want to curse anyone so I never passed on the curse. That never bothered Doris. She was my everything and when I lost her, I snapped. It was my daughter Linda who freed me. She undid the bond on me and my deceased wife. I remember her saying, Father, I would not be able to bear losing you as you go on a rampage," Rex shook his head.
