We drive the car into the ocean before changing our clothes and walking home.
"Adi" Killian says on the way home.
"Kiki" I say back.
"Where's the animals?" he asks.
"...." I think for a minute. "Oh sh*t" I touch the black diamond ring on my finger and see all 3 animals in it. I infuse my magic with it so that Asra, Beast and Ezra can hop out. "So sorry babe" I say while patting Asra.
"You're such a bad pet owner" Killian says mocking me.
"Right back at ya" I say to him cheekily. "It's cold" I complain about the weather.
"Here then" Killian pulls me over to his side before wrapping me in his big winter coat. We walk home with me almost being engulfed by his coat.
When we get home I sense that everyone is home already. We walk into the front door and take our shoes off before walking to the kitchen. Killian and I sit down and start stuffing food into our mouths.
"Ah so delicious" I moan while eating the deep fried butterflied shrimp. I dunk it into mayo and red sauce.
"Mhm" Killian agrees with a mouthful of nikujaga. Which is meat, potato and onion stewed in sweetened soy sauce. I grab a spoon and serve myself a plate of nikujaga.
It's 9:58 pm so everyone has had their dinner and is in the lounge room watching TV. Killian and I are eating what was left over of dinner. We both finish eating and wash up before taking a seat in the lounge room.
"Bed" I say to the younger ones.
"But Adi!" the complain.
"No buts get to bed" I command.
"Argh" the younger ones trudge off to bed.
Now there are only 7 people in the room. The oldest 4 of the Killians, me and the little twins. I pick Kimberly from the floor and place her on my hip. I'm about to pick Kolte up but a hand gets in the way.
"Let me do this, Adi" Kian says while picking Kolte up.
I nod my head at him before going to the 2nd largest room which is the second room on the left. I open it to find Kendra and Kennedy already in bed. I walk to the 2 baby cots and place Kimberly in one. I look over at Kian to see him putting Kolte in the other.
"Aah. You've grown up so much" I squeeze Kian's cheeks while walking out.
"Stop treating me like a child Adi. I'm turning 16 this year" Kian complains.
"But you'll always be my younger brother" I say cheekily before skipping to the bathroom. I take a shower and brush my teeth before walking to my room. I take a seat on the red and black gaming chair which Killian brought a few days ago. I use the fire element to create heat and use the heat to dry my hair.
"Whatcha doing Adira Yukimura?" Killian calls me when he walks into the room. Like me he's using his hell fire to dry his hair.
"Don't touch your hair with that hand" I warn Killian.
"I know, I know" Killian acknowledges my warning before sitting on his bed. The first time he used this method he burnt all his hair off and it didn't grow back for months.
When I am finished drying my hair I turn and log into my computer. Thanks to Killian I can make really easy cash by being paid to hack into a companies firewall. The ones paying me are the ones that own the company. They do this so that in case their defense is weak against a hacker they'll upgrade the firewall.
After a while,
"Are you hacking into another company?" Killian asks while staring at the screen.
"Yup" I answer not bothering to look at him.
"That's the 6th one you've done tonight Adi. Don't tire yourself out the time of the months is coming again" Killian says concerned about my health.
"I know, I know. I'll just do one more" I say while breaking the firewall. I find another company and hack into their firewall before the clock strikes 11 o'clock. I climb up to my loft and lay down. I cover myself with my blanket and curl up into a ball before goiing to sleep.
***
A week later. Monday, 21st of January. 3:24 am
I get out of bed and stumble to the bathroom half asleep. I throw up in the toilet after I'm finished I lay my head on the toilet bowl about to go back to sleep when Killian stumbles in. He starts the shower checking if it's warm enough before turning to me.
"Come on Ads" Killian says in a concerned voice. He lifts me up and puts me under the warm water. I throw up again. "Argh" Killian's face goes pale when he sees the black blood.
"Sorry" I say weakly. I take my shirt off leaving me in my bra and basketball shorts. I start cleaning myself. Killian stays in case I throw up or fall asleep. He's the reason why I don't take my bra or pants off.
After an hour of bathing which I threw up 5 times Killian lifts me out of the bath. He hands me a towel before walking out of the room. I start drying myself with the towel. Killian's hand slips through the door and leaves some clothes on the sink before slipping his hand back out. I grab the clothes and put them on. I walk to the kitchen where Killian is cooking something that smells horrible.
"I don't want it" I whine while placing my head on the short table.
"You have to" Killian says. He fills a bowl and passes it to me.
I take a look at the black liquid in the bowl. "No" I say pushing the bowl away.
"C'mon Adi" Killian says pushing the bowl in front of me. "After I'll take you to the sweet shop" Killian suggests.
"Fine" I say. I pick the bowl of black liquid and swallow it. "Argh" I gag at the taste. Killian puts some candy in front of me. I swallow all of them trying to get the taste out of my throat.
6 am strikes and Killian goes to wake the others. When they see me they pat me on the back and say encouraging words which goes through one ear and out the other. Killian gets everyone ready for school which is usually my job.
"Let's go" Killian yells when the time comes. I slowly get up and grab my bag. I put my shoes on with the help of Kala.
We walk out of the house and Killian locks the front door. We start walking up the street. Ren catches up to us and starts his usual questions. When we get on the subway Killian hands me a bottle of the black liquid.
"Ren can you make sure Adira has this every break?" Killian asks Ren.
"Yeah but what is it and what's wrong with Chikara?" Ren asks.
"She's just having that time of the month again" Killian says.
"Oh" Ren says thinking I'm on my period.
I stuff the bottle into my bag. When our stop comes we get off and drop the others off on the way. Ren walks to school while Killian walks me to the sweet shop. We both order a ton of sweets and start eating half of them.
"Bye" Killian says good-bye and heads to his school with the rest of his sweets. I stuff the sweets I have left into my bag and walk to school.
When I get there it's only a few minutes until class starts. I pass through the gates without any teachers pulling me up.
