"Okay all of you need to stop arguing! I am growing angry and you don't want to see me angry. My sister and I are Watchers, as I'm sure you hve figured out, and we don't want to hurt you. However if you hurt either of us I will kill you, as you can see I'm quite good at be silent ad deadly. Second if you seriously think we are going to let you take us then you are going to be very disappointed. Now I would choose your next words very carefully, I wouldn't want you to get burned." Kennedy grinned evilly as she flared up a ball of fire and played with it her eyes gleaming threateningly in the soft orange glow.

"So, you command fire, and you command things dark and cold. Interesting... but a terrible combination for fighting together. Sure, against multiple enemies your powers may effectively take out the lot. But against one enemy, your powers counter act with each other and make one another more vulnerable. You can't attack together, because her fire would devastate you, and your ice would incapacitate her. Your powers also play to your opponent's advantage. For lets say you shoot fire at me and I use some sort of metal that's tempered to handle heat much more effectively... you just super charged my weapon against your sister. With enough speed and quick enough reactions, taking on the two of you alone is child's play. So, why don't the two of you just come back with us and answer a few questions?"
In truth, Sebastian's assessment was very true. Any sort of area attack by either sister would prove hazardous to the other sister, so they would have to rely on target attacks and head on attacks. Sebastian could easily dodge target attacks, and the hand to hand attacks wouldn't be too difficult to handle. All he had to do was wear them down and count on Liam to get his back in case he slipped.

He glanced at the girl carefully to see if she was watching before scrutinizing the shadow, trying to touch it, trying to figure out ways she could use it against them. If they used these kinds of shadows as spies, they could get so much more accomplished, and more intimate knowledge of the people who plotted against the kingdom.
"How do these work? Can you cast them far away from you? Can they be independent of you?" He asked rapid-fire, his eyes not leaving the shadow, hoping that the girl wouldn't get angry or upset and attack him. He was sure that she could deal some serious damage, but these shadows had the potential to be great.

As Kennedy stepped forward the other brother began questioning Claire on her shadow powers. His questions came in rapid succession to each other and were actually quite annoying. Kennedy stepped closer to Claire and put a hand on her sister's shoulder comfortingly. "Listen here princey we will answer your questions when you answer ours. What do you want with us? Why are you so hell bent on killing us? We have never harmed any of you or any human ever, so you can go back and tell your father that if he sends you back here again I will not hesitate to kill you on sight. I have the power to do so and I will. Oh and I would think twice about lying because I will know if you are." Kennedy's smile gleamed beautiful and deadly in the now dark forest.

After being silent for so long, he let out an exaggerated sigh, "We do not wish to kill you. If we did I would have slit little Missy's throat when I had the chance," He said bluntly, no matter how true. He could have slit that girl's throat if he's followed through on the thrust, but their goal was not to kill this time.
"And what we want, is to finally learn about the people in the trees, also known as Watchers, so we can figure out if a traveling villager or peasant will be in harms way if they want to leave. And the fact that you're always hiding and killing our people does not make you seem very friendly. We tried friendly at first, and they came back maimed.
Well, at least that's my goal. Don't know about number one and two here." Liam concluded, making sure to talk slower then Sebastian. He always talked too fast.
Liam, who was getting extremely annoyed, made a little hand gesture at the two girl saying it was their turn to speak. He knew that they would never leave their forest, that was obvious. So the best they'd get for questioning was out here where that actually felt comfortable.
Liam looked at his brothers. Dax looked ready to kill himself and Sebastian had no expression on his face.

"You haven't killed any villagers? But what about the accounts of our merchants and citizens leaving the city on their business and never coming back? The discoveries of their bodies strewn across the forest floor? If it's not you killing them, then who could it be?"
This was actual news to him. If the girls were actually telling the truth, then that means that these girls may not be the infamous Watchers. There may have actually be an entire race of them, which would be an extraordinarily larger threat than he or his father had originally anticipated.

The people that ended up dead were killed by someone--or something--else.
"Do you have any clues about what it could be?" He asked the girls curiously. It could be a band of rogue humans--but these people were just killed. Not eaten or robbed. There was no reasonable justification for it...as of yet.

Liam looked between the two females and eventually sighed.
"Yeah, you'll help. But you want something in return don't you?" Liam said more then asked. He knew people usually would want something in return for their services, so it wouldn't surprise him if they did too.
His facial expression had softened after figuring out they were telling the truth. Yeah, the Watchers weren't the only ones who could read people.
But even if it'd softened, he still didn't trust them. Not in the least.
He just wanted to solve this mystery and go home. But he had a feeling that, that wouldn't happen for awhile.

Liam did raise a good point, though. The girls would want something in return, but as long as the price wouldn't be too steep it would be fair. The girls and their powers could be incredibly useful as they tried to unravel this mystery.
He sighed softly, hearing the other girl complain about them. He couldn't say anything about that right now.
Liam decided to ignore Dax and confront the annoying brown haired girl.
"Says the girl who threw a ball of ice at my head! Don't you consider that rude?!" Liam stated angerly, "And I do not intend on leaving this forest without some sort of lead, thank you very much."
He was getting angry, and fast. He sucked in some air through his nose and let it out through his mouth. "And since when did it matter if we were humans? You look pretty human to me, just add all the freaky powers. If you didn't have those, I guarantee I would be able to kill/beat you in under ten seconds flat. Same with both my brothers."

"Why everyone thinks differently is because they are idiots. But no one is forcing you to hide. You've been gone for over a hundred years, everyone thinks you're a myth." Liam says. He has no problem insulting his own people. Dax and Sebastian know this all too well.
He noticed how the brown haired girl was trying to guilt trip her sister into coming with her, but decided against saying anything about it. 'cause that would probably only make things worse.

"Okay, one: We have not done one thing for you in hundreds of years, because last time I checked none of us were born hundereds of years. Two: You and your people have been hiding which has led our people to believe you were a myth. Three: If we had helped you in some sort of way, way-back-when, then I highly doubt you would exist.
Oh, and trust me. I don't trust you either Miss Sassy Ass. I'm only following orders." Liam says, giving a fake smile. He seriously was starting to hate his job. And he never hated his job.
