Detective Novel Chapter 5

”let me introduce everyone this woman is Hillary obviously that’s a human name she was a changeling” she said it with a disappointed tone “that handsome man over there is her mate Nethal” Kaleas heart stopped Nethal?! How dare he have the same name as her Nethal! He seemed repulsive to her “Nethal is a nymphs name not a Pizie” Kalea said coldly she didn’t care about trying to act young anymore she just didn’t like that guy “yeah but I like the name so that’s what I call myself, you seem pretty upset about it, you know a nymph called Nethal?” he didn’t sound sympathetic just amused
”yes, my brother was called Nethal,” she paused “he was murdered” she thought she should add it so he might feel more guilty but everyone just went silent Mink broke the silence “yes well anyway, this is their child Yomishi” she looked jealously at them it was obvious she felt left out
”and whose that?” asked Kalea looking at the human boy
”oh, that is called Nathan” he scowled at her and she returned the look angrily “its Nate” he said indignantly he was only about 6 or 7 and Kalea felt sorry for him obviously Mink had wanted some sort of family so she stole the child of one of her victims, how sick “and what's your name?” asked Nate he seemed like quite a quiet and nice boy just he didn’t like Mink “I’m Kalea” she said trying to sound sweet and innocent she was going to call herself lily but mink would know she was lying, all mythical creatures had two names, a birth name and a chosen name a birth name is a name you tell no one but those you can trust with your life and a chosen name was a name you either chose when your old enough or get given by a friend or leader of your clan Kalea had been named by her elf mother and again by her human mother who had named her Trudy and when she left home she named herself Kalea an name she had always been fond of.
Mink was actually quite an interesting person but she was also the typical example of one a the failed attempts of a good creature she was overrun with jealousy selfishness and resentment that’s probably why Nate didn’t like her she studied Nate while he wasn’t looking, no she studied them all, she watched their habits the way they moved around each other Nethal was cocky but it was obvious that the two women admired him greatly and he enjoyed the attention, Mink was constantly jealous of Hillary and Yoshimi,
