*~*Zayden's POV*~*
We were happy that Amadeus was going to help us. And that whatever was happening would stop soon. And that we didn't have to tell Mom and Dad about it all. I'm not sure why, but all four of us, me, my brothers, and Zaley, all instinctively felt that telling our parents would be a really bad idea.
Not that Mom and Dad would get mad at us, because they wouldn't. They might be disappointed that we hid it from them for so long, but they likely wouldn't be mad at us. They never were. And perhaps that was part of it. We didn't want to see disappointment and hurt in their eyes. Though, that wasn't all of it.
No, there was more to it than that. Something told me, and possibly the others, that our parents would blame themselves for what happened. And they might look for the solution in the wrong place. Not knowing what it was from the beginning, they would have us isolated, put on lockdown and restriction, and then we would be miserable while getting worse every day.
