Wind whistled throw the window and rain poured in buckets out side a young, Cole Lee Malfoy's room. He awake with a start as the thunder roared out side.He quickly rushed out of his bed and flicked his light on, running to the window. His room was the size of two advarge rooms combined in one. One on wall was is double bed, his blanket had green and silver strips running across it to match his sheet. On the ooposite wall, toys cluttered the entire wall. his window was ooposite his door, which is where a smal desk was occupied. Leaning over his desk, Cole felt the wine make his dirty blonde hair fly out of his face. As the thuder roared again, he quickly ran out his door and down to the sitting are where his father was currently at. Colby sat in the arm chair by the fire, reading up on elementals. Ha! "Most are friendly?" what rubbish! he thought to himself, slamming the book closed. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Cole standing. "Why are you out of bed?" he asked simply. "Thunder," Cole answered in a soft, musical voice.

"Does the thunder scare you, Cole?" a soft, yet strong voice asked from across the room. Julia Malfoy remembered being scared of thunder as a small child, too. She stood up from her own chair to bend down to her son's height. "Just think it's a song. The skies have been nice enough to put on a grand preformance for you tonight. That'll make you feel better." She pushed strands of her black hair behind her ear so she could see the small boy's reaction to her advice.

He looked confused, raising his eyebrows at his mother. "A song? IT doesn't sound anywhere near a song!" he said matter-of-factly.

Julia sighed. "You can pretend, can't you? You've got to use that brain of yours for something," she said, putting a smile on her face.

Colby snickered. "He already used it. He just out-witted your song advice," Colby said, teasingly, his eyes cold. Obviously he was still angry with the lack of information the books had given him. "But all thunder sounds like is the sky beating on drums!" Cole announced, crossing his arms.

Julia glanced at Colby and stuck out her tongue jokingly, then looked back at Cole. "What would make you feel better about the thunder? It's not going to hurt you, you know."

Cole took a deep breath, and pointed at Colby. "That lady hurt him!" he cried, hiding behind his moms leg. "With the fire!" he exclaimed. This wasn't about thunder...This was about fire...Colby stiffened. He hadn't shown Julia his burned arm yet, given to him by Elizabeth eariler that day. "Cole...Go to bed," he said firmly, but Cole shook his head.

Julia felt her heart fall to the floor. "Colby, is there something you want to tell me?" she asked, standing to her full 5'2 now. "Something you should tell me? And might I add the marriage is about honesty?"

Colby took a breath, glaring daggers at his wife. "I visted Elizabeth...That's all!" he said firmly, but Cole was determined to tell his mom what happened. "She burned him!" he added, letting out a small shiver.

"The fire girl?" Julia asked automatically. "Where did she burn you? Are you all right? Why on Earth would you bring a child with you? You know she's violent! Are you out of your mind, Colby Malfoy?" Leave it to Julia to have a fit...

Colby rolled his eyes. "She would never harm Cole...He's to valubale to her...He's another heir...Me on the other hand, I grew up with her...I can handle Lizzy...And I'm fine," he added coldly.

"Tell me where she burned you," Julia demanded. "Please, Colby." Her eyes were begging him to tell her. "Just tell me. I won't go...crazy. I promise."

Cole answered for him. "His right arm, momma!" he said, pointing at his father from behind his mother.

"Thank you, Cole," Julia said. "But Dad's a big boy. He should show me where he got burned," she added, her voice becoming even more pleading with every word.

He rolled his eyes. "Really, Jules, you treatme like I'm five," he said boredly, lifting his sleave, showing her the burn from his elbow down to his wrist. "There," he said, covering it back up. "Like I said, I can handle Lizzy..."

Julia sighed. "Fine. You're not five anymore, are you?" She smiled. "You can handle her?" She gently ran her fingers across her spouse's burned arm as she pulled herself into his lap. "But yet you got burned."

Colby pulled his arm back, set her on the chair, stood up and faced his son. "Auntie Lizzy would not hurt you...Mostly likely she'll want to teach you...Now go to bed..." he said firmly. He clearly left out the fact that the only way Elizabeth would even consider teaching Cole was if she killed Colby and Julia...And well that wasn't going to happed...Hopefully.

Julia nodded. Colby was making sense. But...thunder? Why couldn't he have just said something. Julia knew she was, in a way, an understanding person. "Really, Cole. You should go to bed or else you'll feel horrible tomorrow."

ooc: OH! WE SHOULD TAKE HIM TO PRESCHOOL WITH NATS!! *dies laughing* THAT would be FUN
bic: With a sigh, Cole nodded. "Fiiine! But if they fire lady comes, I'm going to be mad," he pouted, crossing his arms and heading off to his room. Once Colby was sure Cole was gone, he turned to Julia. "We have a problem," he said.

"And what might that problem be?" Julia asked, scraping off bits of her black finger nail polish then looking up, waiting for an answer.
||Blah. Short. XP ||

"Elizabeth...Yeah, did I mention she wants to kill me...And you?" he added quietly. "So she can get Cole...I doubt she is going to go out and kill us...But if I cross her bloody path again...She'll try to kill me...Then kill you and take Cole...So some how I have to find a way to stay away from her...But I also need something from her..." he said,his quiet voice becoming more frustarted with every word.

"I figured she would," Julia sighed. "Some people kill for fun. Quite gruesome hobby...But what do you need from her? Is it totally necessary to have, or is it just something you want?"

"It's both..." he said, frustraited. "I swear I hate her...And I would kill her if I could..." he grumbled. Why did she have to be the one in the family who was an elemental?

Julia nodded. "Well what is it?" she asked, ignoring the whole hate comment. Probably true. Some people where just born killing.

It's the hand of Glory. And before you give me a look, I need it. Besides, legally it's mine, but Elizabeth wants everything her way, nautarly...And well, something is up with Cole..." he added quietly, incase Cole was listening.
