Her body felt heavy. Frozen in place, unable to move as though she were nothing more than a deer caught in headlights, ready and waiting for the moment when the hunter pulled the trigger to end her life. She could hear it… the others moving about somewhere behind her; some of them leaving the room, others unable to do so on their own- the steady breathing and gentle heartbeat of both siren’s nothing more than a double edged sword… a reminder of what the night had brought.

They were alive, sure… but was it better to be alive and in the state they were, or dead..?

Shutting her eyes tightly, Zoé shoved the thought out of her mind completely. She didn’t need to think about that- no, she didn’t [i]want[/i] to think about that. They were alive. [i]That[/i] was what mattered the most; not the fact that they had almost died because of her careless mistake. Listening to each and every footstep, she waited patiently, the gentle click of the door closing behind everyone her cue to stand up as she turned to face the two that she had (admittedly) been worried about the most in the group. Aron… Gage… She couldn’t make them wait any longer than they had.

Dropping her head, her gaze fell to the ground, her dark eyes staring nervously at the linoleum under her feet before eventually, she took a deep breath, seemingly to give herself courage as she stepped closer to the twins, her hand slipping around to reach into her back pocket as she spoke, her voice soft… weary as she hesitated, [color=Plum]“..I know that you don’t trust me right now… I haven’t given either of you many reasons to, but-… But I swear on my life that I would do anything to protect you both…”[/color]

Pausing for a moment, Zoé turned her head, shooting a quick glance over at the door as if to make sure that they were alone enough before she turned back to them, her soft lips parting ever so slightly from one another as finally, she met with their eyes, her hand clasping tightly onto a large chunk of papers as she drew it back around her body, holding it nervously in front of her stomach as she shifted slightly on the spot. God damn; why was this so hard..? Was it because it was just another thing she had kept hidden from them..? Her heart beginning to race slightly, she tightened her hold over the papers just that little bit more at the thought that they might reject her- if they did… she didn’t know what it was she would do…

[color=Plum]“..you’re over twelve… well over the legal age… it’s your choice, but… I hope you do choose this…”[/color]

She was hesitant; it was clear as day. This wasn’t how she normally was- this nervous..? No, she was rarely ever anxious about anything, though she had a sinking feeling that it wasn’t going to be the last time she was like this… Taking a few moments longer to gather the courage she was meant to have as an alpha, Zoé unfolded the papers, separating them into two before eventually, she held them out to each of the boys, [color=Plum]“..I didn’t want to tell you until I knew for sure that it was a possibility… I didn’t want to get your hopes up, but… if you agree with this; if you sign these documents, then you won’t ever have to go back to that house again… you’ll be able to come and live with me…”[/color]

Slowly lowering her arms back into her, she brought her hands together in front of her stomach, her fingers playing anxiously with the front of her top as she watched them, trying to figure out where their thoughts were at, [color=Plum]“..if you sign them… then you’ll both legally become my sons…”[/color]
