“I was kidnapped.” Chel folded her arms, feeling awkward under Karmine’s intense gaze.
“Most of us were.” The suspicious look did not leave Karmine’s eyes. “’They’ would like us to believe otherwise, but I have a good memory. I was taken. All of us were taken. My parents loved me.”
Chel wasn’t sure how to respond with Karmine staring her down.
“So you keep telling us.” The twins were interested in the conversation now.
“They gave us up. We were too expensive to take care of.”
“They didn’t want us.”
The boys had very different looks in their eyes. Chel made a note that while they were identical, their eyes were different colors. They both had one blue eye and one green eye, but one had a left blue eye and the other’s left eye was green.
It was odd. They had all come from the same place that Lexx had, yet they were completely different than Lexx. Karmine’s defiant expression was nowhere near the same as Lexx’s. She was being emotional. Just like the boys, but not letting it out in the same way. There was one thing that was the same for all of them. They all looked like hurt little children.
