Chapter 3: Moving In

Men brought in box after box as I stood there watching, those boys doing the same in pure annoyance.

"Oh they're here already" Mr. Pierce said with a smile as he and my mother walked out of the dinning room and over towards us.

"Will you guys bring the boxes up to the door at the end of the hallway please?" Mr. Pierce told the movers politely.

Some of them nod in reply as others begin to bring up what I assume are my boxes to my new room.

"Thank you sir" I said softly to receive a small nod in return.

When all of the men finished bringing all of our stuff in, Mr. Pierce closed the door and looked over at all of us.

"So now that that part is done" he said clapping his hands together "some more news" he said as my mother walked over to him.

"This coming weekend we will be marrying and then after next week you all will head back to the school" he said enunciated the word all as he brought up school.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion "my school starts back up before the wedding" I said clearly a bit confused by the situation.

"I thought you were gonna tell her," Mr. Pierce said, clearly confused while looking down at my mother.

"It must have slipped my mind," she said with a fake little giggle.

"Well that's alright" he said before looking back at me as my mother glared at me once again.

"You and the boys will now be attending the same school" he said and my eyes widened as I let out a little oh.

"We will have already left for the honeymoon so we won't be here to see you off," he said softly while nodding at his sons.

"Don't worry too much though, you get to come back on weekends and holidays" he said and I just stood there shocked.

"So it's like a boarding school" I said and he nodded his head with a proud smile on his face and I clicked my tongue.

"Alright" I said through gritted teeth before masking my feelings with a smile.

"I'm gonna head to bed, I'll see you in the morning" I said with a smile before walking up the stairs not waiting for a reply.

Turning right I head down to the last door of the hallway like Mr. Pierce had instructed the workers to do earlier. 

Opening the door at the end of the hall I push it all the way open giving me a view of the room.

Boxes laid in the room, a four pole platform bed was placed towards the center between two windows.

The scheme of the room was gray, white and black like the one back home giving me a small sense of familiarity.

Stepping in I close the door behind me and let out a little sigh.

"How the fuck did I get stuck with all of this shit" I whispered to myself before looking around.

"Bathroom" I whispered when I opened one of the other doors as a smile formed on my face when I saw the walk-in shower.

Looking around I see a few fresh towels already hung up "thank god" I said while stripping my clothing off.

"No dress, and no more heels" I said to myself while throwing the items towards the corner of the bathroom.

Stepping up I see a small box in the counter, opening it I see different soaps and essentials.

A note was placed next to it 'I hope you don't mind, the boys and I attempted to pick out a welcoming gift, welcome to the family- William Pierce' it stated.

Raising an eyebrow I open it skeptically before opening some of the bottles and sniffing them in light fear that something else would be inside.

After sniffing and placing some down on some toilet paper no reaction occurs.

Waiting a little I decided I'll use it and brought them towards the shower.

While showering I let my body relax under the warm water as anger filled my veins.

"Bitch couldn't ruin my life enough so now she's uprooting it" I spat in anger.

Rolling my eyes I try to drift my mind elsewhere but it doesn't seem to help.

Harshly I turn the water off and step out grabbing a towel and drying my hair with it.

After that I begin drying my body and then wrapping it around me.

Stepping out of the bathroom I walked towards some of the boxes placed on the bed and began opening them in search of something to sleep in.

"Settling in" a voice asked, causing me to look back and standing there in all his glory was Ru.

"As best as I can I guess" I said in reply before continuing to rummage through the box.

He lets out a hum and his footsteps draw closer causing me to feel a bit surprised but I still don't look back at him.

Taking a pair of underwear I shimmy them up under the towel.

"Don't look" I said, turning back and he closed his eyes.

Turning back around I let the towel drop before I put on an oversized shirt.

"You're okay now" I said while looking back towards him. 

He looked at me for a moment, his head tilted to the side as he inspected me.

"So you're Amara"she asked and I let out a little laugh.

"And you're Ru" I said but his expression didn't change even a little bit.

A knock came from the open door causing us both to look over to see Julian as I pulled up my shorts.

"You guys weren't" he started to ask and I laughed.

"No, why is Ru the ice king over here secretly into incest" I ask in actual curiosity.

"You're a real bitch you know that" Ru said from next to me as I finally saw an emotion on his face for the first time, anger.

"Yes I do, thank you for pointing it out though" I said with a small innocent smile while he scoffed at me.

"My dad told me to tell you where all the rooms are," Julian stated, causing me to look back over at him.

"Oh and are you actually willing to do so?" I asked and he waited for a moment looking like he was deep in thought before rolling his eyes at me.

"Just hurry up and get downstairs" he said in an annoyed tone as he walked away.

"I take it as he's the oldest" I said while looking at Ru who stayed silent.

"Right, I'll just take that as a yes," I said, shrugging a little as I went and hung my towel back up in the bathroom.

"Why are you such a bitch" he asked when I came back into the room, causing me to smile sarcastically.

"Well you see it's like a coping mechanism, but I'd like to say it's all part of my natural charm" I said while stepping up close to him.

"Well you should learn to hold it back, because it's not very charming" he said, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah but see the thing is" I said, stepping up really close to him.

"I did realize one thing I can get with it," I said just above a whisper as he looked down at me, his light blue eyes almost becoming colder.

"And what is that exactly?" he asked and I smirked up at him.

"A reaction out of the ice king and to be honest I think I kinda like it" I said and his eyebrows raised.

"You've got this adorable little pout, and fierce eyes" I said while going up on my tippy toes to push a few strands of hair behind his ear that had fallen covering his eyes.

"And you may not be into me Ru, but I'll sure as hell enjoy messing with you like you are" I said leaning in really close to where I could feel his breath against my lips.

"I love a challenge and I think you might be my new favorite one" I whispered letting my lips hover over his as I stared at him.

He didn't move back, his body had actually started to slightly arched towards mine as he looked down at my lips for a moment, his mouth slightly agape in surprise causing me to smirk while I stepped back.

"I'll see you tomorrow" I said while stepping out of my room.

This might just be fun after all, I thought to myself with a smirk as I walked down the steps to meet the impatiently waiting Julian.

He stood there leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest before his eyes flickered up to me “are you and Ru finally done” he asked with clear annoyment in his voice and I just rolled my eyes and nodded.

‘“Good follow me” he started pushing himself up off of the wall, and so I did, following all through the lower level of this house through vast rooms that looked almost bland.

The architecture of the house itself was beautiful but it was all so exposed almost as if no one was living here which in honesty was a bit sad.

“We can be done now” he stated suddenly stopping causing me to almost run into his back but I stopped right before I did but it didn’t matter because he turned around.

He stepped closer to me causing me eyes to widen as I looked up at him, keeping my ground which caused a sparkle of amusement to flash through his eyes.

“Be careful around here alright” he stated, his hand reaching out to grab my jaw.

“My younger brothers and I aren’t the most caring, but we aren’t horrible either, just do us all a favor and watch your mouth” he stated and I laughed causing his jaw to clench.

“You want me to be afraid of you, don’t you” I questioned sarcastically, already knowing that he wanted me to be due to his body language.

“I’m not one to cower Julian, and don’t expect me to beg for you either” I stated and a flame showed in his eyes, green eyes almost like a forest.

“But one day you will” he stated a smirk growing on his face as his grip on my face got tighter.

“Because you won’t be able to resist” he whispered before letting go of me and I laughed.

“Are you sure I’ll be the one that begs Julian cause honestly I doubt that” I stated before turning towards the staircase.

“I’ll see you in the morning though right, we would want me to be lonely especially since I’m about to be your baby sister” I said in an innocent tone teasing him a little as he watched me slowly walk up.

“Thanks for showing me around, I cant wait to get to know all of my big brothers more and then we’ll learn who fucking begs” I stated before turning to go down to my room.

When I did I closed the door behind me before walking over to my bed and plopping down on it.

These guy’s were going to be interesting, and fucking distracting but I can’t afford distractions.
