Chapter 126

“Fiona, be careful of your sister.”

“Fiona, make room for Celeste.”

“Fiona share with your sister.”

“Fiona don’t you know that Celeste needs that?”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been compared to my sister Celeste and found wanting. My mother, Regan, treats me kindly, but there’s always something between us, something that gets in the way of us being mother and daughter although I can’t quite put my finger on it. I’m different. Celeste is like a princess, her features exotic, her hair dark, her eyes an earthy brown. I’m fair, my hair blonde, my eyes blue, the distinct opposite of my mother and both my fathers. Although I have expressed my concerns regarding this before, my fathers have always rushed to reassure me that I take after one of my other relatives and that I am indeed their daughter.

“What’s wrong Fiona?” Celeste blinks her eyes at me, a small smile on her lips.

I try not to tense. Celeste can act as a spoiled brat sometimes and the littlest thing can cause her offence. My Mother and both of my fathers have failed to discipline her, meaning that whatever Celeste wants, Celeste gets. I, on the other hand, have been put in more time outs and punished for every little thing more times than I can count. Another reason I constantly find myself wondering if I am in fact, part of the Dominon family or if they are lying to me. How can we be part of the same bloodline and yet look so different?

“Nothing Celeste,” I told her truthfully.

She looks unconvinced, her lips curving into a wider smile. I feel a sense of dread rising inside of me. She looks smug. As though she knows something I don’t. I tense.

“I know something you don’t,” she tells me.

“I’m sure that you do” I answer, trying not to rise to the bait and causing a look of disappointment to cross her face.
