“Come on, honey! We are going to be late! You know how your sister gets if we keep her waiting! We needed to leave like five minutes ago!”
“I will be right there! Just give me one more minute!” I call back. I am almost done. I know that I have been here a little lon
Halona My husband comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, his hands resting on my huge rounded belly. I think it is odd how huge I am, like double the size of Aria and Moira, but Moira and Aggie swear that it is normal. That all women and pregnancies are different. Grimm said that I should listen to Moira, so I am trying to. He thinks that she knows everything and I tend to just roll my eyes and go along with it. “Since we are the ones hosting the meal, we
Moira I rush over to my sister and take her hands in mine. “How long have you been in labor for?” “I don't know. I felt odd all day, with a few twinges here and there, but it wasn't until my wtaer broke a few minutes ago that I actually felt a painful contraction.” She tells me. “Thanatos, get out your phone.”
Aria "As you go out into the world, you will inevitably hear so many conflicting beliefs from so many different people. Everyone has their own personal sets of beliefs, whether you interpret them to be right or wrong. Some try to make others share their beliefs, some simply defend their beliefs, and still, some people have no beliefs at all. They just see things as they are, never delving deeper into life's little mysteries. Those people will never know of my family's existence. Maybe that is a good thing, or maybe it is a shame. Only time will tell..." "The thing about supernatural creatures, or whatever you want to call us, is that we do exist. Yet, very few know of us and even fewer believe in us. We hide in plain sight. Never showing the extent of our powers or the magnitude of our abilities. Never completely being who we are. We are forced to hide our true selves because the humans can not handle our superior existence because they ARE-" "Mr. Bradbury?" A tall, red haired gir
Moira I see Aria running down the hallway as if the hounds of hell are giving chase to her. She looks extremely flustered and upset. I hear footsteps behind her but they never round the corner. Who the hell was chasing her? They must have heard my voice and hung back, for fear of being identified. I don't know what is going on but I know Aria. She looks freaked out, which isn't like her at all. She typically just lets things go by her without bothering her. But right now, she looks bothered. “Aria!”
Aria I feel tears welling up in my own eyes and I turn to look at Maddy who has visably paled. He silently leaves the table, following Moira out of the room. We both know that she is going to need him for comfort. Halona is the volatile one, who is all piss and vinegar, ready to give as good as she gets. Moira is the exact opposite. Moira is highly emotional and sometimes overly sensetive. She takes things to heart and gets hurt very easily. Maddy and I are the quiet ones. We tend to keep to the old adage, if you can not say something nice, do not say anything at all. But Maddy also has a bit of my Mom's fiery spirit in him, just like Halona. Mom is where they get that spit-fire temperment. She cou
Aria I stare in shock at Mr. Bradbury sitting at my table, in a pair of jeans and a plain tee shirt, laughing at something my brother said. My brother, blissfully unaware of my dismay, introduces me as he waits for me to sit down. Mr. Bradbury stands up as well, clearly trying to act like a gentleman. Mr. Bradbury looks as gorgeous as ever, with his dirty blonde hair pushed back from his face, curling ever so softly. The t-shirt he is wearing strains against his thick muscles and well defined chest. He is so darn mouth watering that I have to fight back a rush of desire that t
Aria I wake up some time in the early hours of the morning. Blue light filters into the room, casting everything into a hazy shadow. I am on my back and two arms are crossed over my waist as warmth embraces me on both sides. I turn my head slightly to look at Moira on my right, looking peaceful in sleep. On my left is Halona, both of their arms wrapped tightly around me and their hands gripping each other so that the three of us are linked. Connected. The thought gives me comfort and peace. I vagu
Aria Before I know it me and my three siblings are tangled in a heap in my floor, arms around each other. I have no idea how long we stayed dog piled like that but eventually we all pull away. The group heads down stairs and I make everyone breakfast. The morning passes normally, even if me and my brother are still a little reserved around each other. Not out of anger but just a general timidness. We don't want to make things worse with each other. We are in a truce and don't want to ruin this nice plain. We'll be back to normal within hours.
