The twins looked at each other, then at Damien with a slightly warn out expression as if they didn't quite want to go into that topic. "Things have been... not so good." Vincent sighed. "We've been trying to focus on the rebuilding and our classes..." Valkyrie started. "since we got things settled with the fortune." Vincent nodded. "Right now, we're avoiding mom." Valkyrie said, looking away. "She's the last person we need to get stuck in the grasp of." Vincent explained. "She's crazy." Valkyrie cut in. "Last time this happened, she locked us in a room and left us there." "Apparently she's been appearing at our school, trying to get a hold of us." Vincent sighed. "So we've... occasionally abruptly left classes to prevent meeting her." Valkyrie sighed as well. "B-but we still have the top grades in the class, so don't worry about that." Vincent said, realizing their father was not one who permitted 'bad behavior'. "There's also been a few armed men appearing in places they shouldn't." Valkyrie said, turning her head towards the window. "Some were once rebels wanting revenge, but others were gunmen hired by our aunts and uncles." Vincent agreed also looking out the window. Slowly, they both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Damien. "It's been... rather tense..." They finished at the same time.

"Yes." They replied at the same time, slightly surprised Damien didn't know about it. "They don't like us." Vincent said. "And we inherited Grandma and Grandpa's fortune." Valkyrie replied. "It's not like we haven't been kidnapped multiple times before." Vincent shrugged. "Or given poisoned food." Valkyrie replied. "Once they sent us chocolates filled with arsenic." "And then one of the girls stole them before we could eat them, and they had to pump them out of her system." Vincent replied. "There was also that one time at a family reunion where we woke up in a bag and we were thrown into a river." Valkyrie noted. "It was just a normal trash bag, so we ripped through the plastic and ended up drifting a mile down stream." Vincent finished, with a small waft of his hand as if it wasn't a big deal. "Mom wants to keep her hands on us so she can use the money on herself. You know, using it for the 'benefit of her children'." "She's already wasted nearly 60,000$ on stupid stuff she won't even let us touch." Valkyrie said with frustration. "And our aunts and uncles are just as greedy." "Mom had originally abandoned us at Grandpa or Grandma's because we're illegitimate children. Our aunts and uncles rarely visited when they were alive, but when they did, they were always asking to borrow cash. Grandpa and Grandma were always ashamed at how they were, and told us not to be like that." Vincent muttered, his eyes seemed distant as he remembered the past. "We go out of our way to make sure our room at home and at school is thoroughly booby-trapped. We won't let them splurge all of Grandma and Grandpa's hard work." Valkyrie replied.
