" Nova sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Father forced Nicholas'. But my brother kept my mother's word. He defied everyone and allowed his mother to die normally. We witnessed our mother's death right in front of our eyes. That was the last time I saw Nicholas cry. Then he evolved into the man he is today. However, none of us are normal anymore.
