[quote]"So does anyone have a lead or even an idea as to where this curse came from so I can look into it?"[/quote]

Alex thought long and hard as Justin presented the question to them. The Harrisburgs were suggested, but he had no idea who they were, just like Justin. He hadn't caught up with any of his half siblings until he met them a few weeks ago; heck, he didn't even know their names until then. Neither did he know about any of the feuds that their family... no, [i]absentee dad[/i] had with anyonede else. Alex was still finding it hard to get his mind on the thing at hand, though, as it hadn't even taken in half of what had just happened. When the flood ended, he also stopped phasing just to see Ezra and Georgie on the stairs below, having been thrown off balance by the tidal wave. Then there was a massive quake, some wierd ass thing appeared outside, and it disappeared. He didn't see it; not that he wanted to.

[quote]It could be someone from our family,” Trisha spoke up, disdain clear in her tone. She was already annoyed about all that had gone on, and to still have to go through this meeting? She just wanted shit sorted. “Father had plenty of children we didn’t know about before now,” she glanced at Alexander, “maybe one of them decided to curse us all? Or a vengeful ex-wife? He definitely has plenty of those.”

Alex watched as Ezra took a call and left; it seemed that there was something amiss in the coffee shop, wherever that was. Either way, he spoke his piece. 

[color=c4df9b]"That makes plenty of sense, doesn't it."[/color] Alexander had a bit of a scoff in his voice, as he was like the black sheep of this family. [color=c4df9b]"Who knows how many people he had pissed off in life. Heh."[/color] Getting into a more serious tone, he held his cross necklace and gazed upon its silver surface as if he was trying to x-ray vision through it. [color=c4df9b]"Definitely not my mom, though. She knows nothing about magic and has been dead for ten years. Thanks be to him."[/color]

It was obvious, then, to whom he was referring to. [color=c4df9b]"If you want, I could try to summon the old man's ghost from the afterlife for a while, try to get answers. I don't think he'd like to have a conversation with [i]me[/i], though. Not after what happened long ago."[/color]
