Chapter 11：Xl

We played for a good while. Us females had five points while the boys had four points. Since we were near to ending the game, things started getting serious. The passes were more calculated and accurate. Finally, GoGo made a score.

"Hehe, good game!" Jack said.

We all walked out the water and went towards our stuff. The Black siblings had their stuff next to ours. Grabbing a towel, I dried myself while looking around. It seems as if Andrew and Ann has left a while back. Maybe they has something to do or deal with.

After dressing up, my siblings and I gave our farewells to our friends, got our stuff, and left the beach. It was already evening. The sky was a pinkish color. The streets were no longer that crowded. Things were pretty calm.

It didn't take long to get back home. I unlocked the door and opened it, allowing my siblings to get in first and I right after them.

"Alright," I said once I closed the door and locked it, "go take a shower you two. I will do the same. After showering, we can cook dinner together."

Ash and Atsushi lets out excited 'yay' as they both rushed to their rooms and into the bathroom. Letting out a small sigh, I enter my room, grab a new pair of clothes, my towel, and walk into the bathroom. Closing the door behind me, I turn on the shower's water, fixing it the way i like it. Once I finished, I undressed and entered the tub.

Standing under the warm running water helped calm my body. I didn't even know that my body was this stressed out. Letting out a small relaxed sigh, I remember that tomorrow is our first day of college. Hopefully we can fit in perfectly. And get along with others easily. But there is no need for me to worry about such thing right now, so I shrug off the thought and start bathing.

--after shower--

I walk out the bathroom and put my used clothes in the basket. My hair was still wet, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Not like I ever did. I exit my room and head to the kitchen. Ash and Atsushi were in the dining room playing cards. Once they saw me, they both put down the cards and stood up.

"So, what's for dinner?" Ash asked.

"Anything you two want." I answered.

"Sushi!" Ash said.

"With onigini!" Atsushi added.

"And ramen!" Ash finished.

I let out a small laugh. "Okay, let's get started. You two get the rice cooking and chop up some vegetables for the ramen. I'll get the broth cooking and get out the ingredients for the sushi."

After telling then what to do, in an instant they got busy. So, as I said I was going to do, I got the broth cooking and got out the ingredients for the sushi. Ash was chopping vegetables for the ramen while Atsushi was putting the rice to cook. All we were doing was in a Japanese style.

We are part Japanese and part Russian. Our mother, Pakura, is Japanese while our father, Creed, is Russian. There is just one member in our father's side that is part Russian and French. That person is our uncle Noctis Mia. He is hardly around, due to being a rogue. He left the world of immortals, which is where us Royals come from and many other creatures that are immortal, because of Silver and Roxas becoming the leaders of the Royal Clan. Noctis knows something not everyone knows. Sadly, I am one of those who know along with Ash and Atsushi.

Silver and Roxas are both doing dirty work behind the clan's back. They both use people as puppets to be able to harm others. I sometimes think that my once foster older brother does the same thing. Feeling a sudden sharp pain, I immediately shrug off the thought. If I didn't, I would have had an emotional breakdown. I suffer from episodes. These episodes can last up to a month the least.

They are very dangerous, even fatal. More for me since I don't have the promise of immortality. When in such stage, I tend to sleep only. I loose my appetite to eat and do things. I suddenly feel that my emotions starts to get uncontrollable. Walking out the kitchen, I head to my room and grab a pair of earphones. Attaching it to my phone, I put each piece in my ears and start playing a music playlist. Putting the volume up to the max, I stand in my room listening to the music. I found out not long ago that this method helps me to keep in control when I'm about to fall into an episode. Once I felt better, I went back to the kitchen to finish up dinner.
