“The beginning?” Price asked, as if that never occurred to him.

He’s adorable when scrambling to figure shit out.

I nodded my agreement.

“Yes, I suppose that would be prudent,” he agreed. “In 1776 the Simoeaus and the Val Zuls staked claim to the land which is now called Deer Lodge County. Because of how remote it was, only our families were in the area aside from the locals: the Pend d’ Oreille and Salish tribes. Deer Lodge County overlaps into the common hunting grounds of the tribes in the area, and our families weren’t like other white settlers. We fought against the white man with our native brothers… That isn’t important at the moment,” he said, catching himself.

Now some of the pictures in the house make sense, I think.

“In 1780, when I was ten–” he said.

I pulled the reins back, pulling Moonshine to a stop.

“What?” we asked.

Price stopped and he shook his head with a sigh. “I was born in 1770 in what is now called Anaconda. My parents first came to America when they were twelve. My father lost his parents and my mother’s parents took him in and they eventually fell in love, and me and my brothers and sisters were the result of the union.”

“You don’t have fangs!” I blurted out.

Draven already told us that!

I wasn’t there with your French fuck!

“No, I suppose I don’t,” Price replied, giving us a look. “There is more to mythology and lore than just vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards and such. The list is endless really, and it usually translates to immortality in one form or another. Modern society is so inundated with Hollywood-fueled imaginations in regards to the mythical and paranormal worlds that it makes it very difficult to blend in anymore and it causes witch hunts and vampire fanatics to run rampant causing a body count.”

“Draven told me we’re Lares and they’re Larvae,” I said.

His top lip snarled.

“Be nice, Daddy,” I scolded, causing him to blush with a smile. “Draven answered a couple of the questions I had, but he didn’t explain the reason behind it. It was more of a mythology lesson… Do they offer mythology at school?” I asked as more of an afterthought.

Ooh that would be helpful.

“I know, right? A way to get to the head of the class in the mythical world, in a sense. I hate being the dumbest person in the room, and when it comes to the black eyes and speed thing, I’m at the bottom of the class,” I complained.

Ugh, I didn’t think about that. You need to resolve it or I will.

“Shut up. I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”

“Girls?” Price asked.

“We’re here,” we said. “Just debating how to resolve our ignorance when it comes to the mythical world we just discovered we’re a part of.”

He nodded. “You’re strangely accepting of that.”

I chuckled.

If only he knew.

“It makes us feel less crazy,” we admitted. “What happened? How did we become like this or were you born this way?”

We were born this way.

Yeah, but we have issues.
