"Okay" Quasar texts his older brother to come.
Quantum walks into the room a minute later.
"I heard from Daniel that you got hurt. Are you alright?" Quantum asks not seeing Nicholas or me in the room.
"Yes I'm fine. Take a seat" Quasar offers which Quantum sits in between us.
"Oh" Quantum says when he sees my brother and I at last.
"Looks like you two have a lot to talk about so we'll leave you to it" I grab Nicholas's arm and walk towards the door.
"Hold it" Quasar says.
"Argh!" Nicholas and I groan out in frustration. "What can we do for you now?" we both ask with the same forced smile.
"Sit"
We sit.
"What's your realationship?" Quasar asks.
"What's wrong?" Quantum scratches his head in confusion.
Quasar fills him in on what happened. I text Daniel a S.O.S which he comes running.
"What's wrong?" He asks when he throws the door open. He looks at the Tanaru twins sitting opposite of Nicholas and I before letting out an "oh."
"Did you know these two already know each other?" Quasar asks Daniel.
"Yes" Daniel answers while sitting in a chair.
"Brother and sister" Nicholas and I blurt out.
"What?" Quasar and Quantum asks.
"We're brother and sister"
"Biological or...?"
"Biological"
"Wow!" Quantum gasps.
"Is that why you were calling her pretty sister?" Quasar asks Nicholas.
"Yes" Nicholas responds. His voice is devoid of any emotions.
"Was everything you told us was a lie?" Quantum asks.
"Everything I told you was apart of the truth" I answer.
"So what about the Balckwell's?" Quasar asks.
"The Blackwell's and I have known each other since birth so when I came here they wanted to come"
"Why are you at school and who are you?" Quasar asks coldly.
I smile before telling them who I am and Edith sending me to school.
"So you're not a purifier but a person who has seen purifiers and stole their abilities?" Quasar asks.
"Yes"
"And Nicholas Adolf is your 8th older brother?"
"Yes"
"Wow! It's going to take me a few days to wrap my head around the whole thing." Quasar leaves the room followed by Quantum soon after.
"Well that was quick" says Daniel scratching the back of his neck.
"It's your fault Nicholas" I put the blame at Nicholas.
"How's it my fault?!" Nicholas asks.
"Well.... there was someone in YOUR infirmary"
"I forgot and you didn't sense the person" Nicholas says.
"So it's my fault?" I ask standing up from my seat.
"Yes" Nicholas stands.
"You were the one that spoke first with 'pretty sister'" I say looking up at his 6'3 height.
"Yes but that could mean anything" Nicholas says looking down at me.
"And then you brang Chris into the mix"
"After you said 'why are you here'"
"Okay, okay. ENOUGH!" Daniel shouts over the bickering.
Nicholas lets go of my hair and I stop biting his hand. I climb down from Nicholas's shoulders.
"Sorry" We say together. We lower our heads.
"You're at school for godness sake" Daniel reminds us.
"Sorry" we repeat.
"It was both of your faults" Daniel says before leaving the room.
"Why do we even listen to him?" Nicholas asks tilting his head.
"Probably out of respect" I answer also tilting my head.
"Poor Mika had that for her soulmate" Nicholas shakes his head sadly.
I nod my head in agreement.
The school bell rings signaling class is starting.
"I have to go. See ya around Nicho" I wave with a smile on my face. I sprint back to class. I take my seat and look forward. "Where's Quantum?" I turn around and ask Ren.
"Don't know he never came back" Ren answers.
'He and Quasar are probably just thinking about' Astrid says.
I nod my head and take notes for Quantum. Quantum and Quasar don't show up for the rest of the day.
When 4 o'clock stirkes I pack everything up and head to the wealthy side of town. I stop when I see a villa with a sign saying ADOLF. From the gate I can see that they're seven cars in the driveway.
"Hello?" I speak through the intercom.
"Hello. How can I help you?" A voice replies in a fromal tone.
"Is Mr Adolf here by any chance?" I ask.
"Yes he is. Why are you looking for him?" asks the voice changing into a firm tone.
"Can you tell him that Astrid is here?"
"Hold on just a sec" says the voice before going quiet.
I wait a few seconds before the gates open. I start to walk up the long drive-way.
"Welcome" says the same voice from the intercom. The person is Reiji.
"Ah!" I squeal. I run and give him a hug. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too" Reiji pats my head in a brotherly way.
I smile up at him.
"If I didn't know the both of you I would've thought that you two are dating" Nicholas says stepping down the light blue staircase (He's always loved light blue).
"What can I do for you?" I ask Nicholas.
"I heard that the odd bosses are here" says Nicholas leading us into the living room and taking a seat in a leisure manner.
"So what?" I ask taking a seat opposite him.
"I want to hire Trix to be my chef" Nicholas gets straight to buisness.
"No"
"Why? Have you already gotten her?" Nicholas asks leaning forward.
"She's always been mine"
"No she hasn't"
"I saw her first"
"Who cares? I have more money"
"She doesn't need anymore money"
"She might need more" Nicholas insists.
"Just go to the club and buy some. Surely Dami would give you a room"
"But-" Nicholas pouts.
"You could just order it to be delivered" I suggest cutting him off.
"Great idea, Adi" a happy smile blooms across Nicholas's face.
"How's Oreo?" I ask. A loving smile unknowingly blooms across my face.
"How's Oreo? You never ask about Chris or Sage but always Orion" Nicholas says angrily.
"Well he is my favourite brother" I say while shrugging my shoulders.
"I thought we aren't allowed to have favourites!" Nicholas gasps. His eyes widen. "Well in that case Raphael has to be my fav'."
"Who's your least favourite?" I ask.
"Dexter" Nicholas answers without any hestitation.
"Poor Dexter" I say sadly.
"But he is the closest to Henry and has ratted us out a few times so Dex had it coming for him" Nicholas says.
"You're right" I agree with him.
"I'm going to have a shower. I haven't gone grocery shopping yet so if you want to eat you have to order takeout or go to the nearest supermarket" says Nicholas before going upstairs.
I turn to look at Reiji who's standing at the end of the white sofa. I stand up and grab his arm. "Reiji!" I say sweetly.
"Yes Chikara?" Reiji says back.
"Wanna come with me" I smile up at him.
"I can't say no can I?" He asks.
"No you can't because I, Adira Yukimura order my royal guard Reiji to come grocery shopping with me" I order stepping back from Reiji. A faint purple light surrounds him.
"I hate you" He manages to say before his feet start moving on their own to the front door.
I follow him.
