I jump over a series of bumps on the dirt floor of the forest. I swerve left to avoid a log that has fallen before twisting the throttle to make the dirtbike faster. Behind me I can hear that Reiji is hot on my tails.
I smirk and sharply turn left while putting out my leg. Dust flies and I pull the dirtbike upright again.
Without looking where Reiji is I speed in the forest on a new path. Completely forgetting where the path we took is since there are lots of different trails.
Half an hour later, I'm still in the lead and finally after all that racing I can see the waterfall. I look behind to see Reiji has also noticed it and we speed up to get there first.
I pull the brakes and go flying.
Splash!
I emerge out of the water and glare at the person who came out of nowhere.
"What the f*ck Asher?"
"You nearly crashed into me. I thought I was going to die!" Asher speaks acting petrified.
"As if. I stopped." I stomp out of the lake at the bottom of the waterfall.
Asher pulls a face.
"You came fast." Ashley, Asher's twin says.
I change my black hair back to my natural red with waves. "Yeah. I missed home too much."
Asher's ear twitch. "Is the Li triplets finally here?"
Reiji turns off his engine and nods.
"Who's the fourth person?"
"Ren. He wanted to come so he came along. He will stay in one of the guests room." I reply.
The fraternal Fox twins nod.
These two are the younger siblings of Atasi. Asher takes after Austin with the fox race but unlike Austin, Asher has silver hair since he is a white artic fox (taking after their aunt). Ashley is of witch race and looks like Atasi. Both just turned 16 in April, a year younger than the Myths.
I turn around when hearing Li-Jun and Ren approaching.
I introduce Ren to the fraternal Fox twins. Ren nods after the introduction. He doesn't need to introduce himself since he is already known by the Myths family.
"Let's go." I say after drying myself. I have completely changed back to my normal appearance with long red hair and purple, green and red eyes.
I start my dirtbike again since it clonked out when I suddenly stopped. Too much force. I have to take it to Lance for him to fix it.
We ride up the hill without waiting for the two other Li triplets since they know the way. Ren gasps and swerves when seeing the huge castle. Luckily, I am here and used magic to stop him from swerving while he watches the castle.
We cross the drawbridge which underneath is the river which surrounds Mura Caslte and leads to the waterfall. The river itself comes from the taller mountains which Master Bai's temple is on.
The huge courtyard with lucious green grass and a waterfall in the middle greets us. The road forms a circle which goes to the double doors and garage. We park our dirtbikes in the garage before walking 15 minutes to get to the dragon and phoenix double doors which open by themselves.
"Adira!"
I fall to the ground after getting tackled. I look at the person who tackled me. Aria.
"Ari. What's wrong?" I ask she's usually haunty and bossy.
"I'm just glad you're back. Edith was a total nigthmare to persuade." Aria complains in a bossy voice but on her face is a smile.
"Aunt Alice why is she happy?" I ask Aria's mother who walks behind her.
Aunt Alice hugs me before answering, "The Woods boys (all ten) are gone. They have to repair the damages caused by the attacks. Second Sister* and Second Brother* have gone with them. Only the girls remain."
"Oh." I finally get why Aria is in a good mood. The Woods Brothers and Lance have gone. They love to prank Aria for her reaction.
They have damaged thousands of her things which cost a lot. Luckily Aunt Lumi is a great though harsh mother and made her eight sons compensate Aria for her loss.
Everyone is scared of Aunt Lumi since she is the harshest in the house but can you blame her. She has to look after a total of 8 packs including her own, take care of her children which consists of the Woods Brothers who love pulling pranks and make the whole castle angry.
Although she sometimes is harsh she does it for a good reason: she wants all the children even if it is not hers to be respectful and not arrogant like some of the other rich children. She also doesn't want any of the children to take things for granted and work hard to achieve what they want without any help.
All in all Aunt Lumi is a great and caring mother like the other mothers are.
"Is Oreo here?" I ask Aria.
Aria shakes her head. "Edith allowed you but he didn't allow him."
I frown sadly before shaking my head and smiling. "No worries. At least I'm back."
"Adi!" Atasi's voice comes from the stairs.
I look up to see her coming down the stairs wearing green overalls.
"Yes!" I call back and we do a short hug before pulling away. I look at Atasi to see that she still has the same calm face which hasn't changed although her brown hair is put into plaits.
Atasi notices Ren near the door. "You must be Ren Yamashita. I am Atasi Fox but most people call me Sisi which means yes."
Ren nods a bit confused that Atasi is speaking Japanese.
"Everyone here speaks japanese." I tell him which he stops looking confused. "That is one of the only languages except english that we all have to know. The parents actually went to japanese class where they met my mother who was the teacher."
"Ay. Elder sister taught all of us japanese while we taught our children." Aunt Alice walks up the stairs which we all follow. She walks to the living room with the long couches in the shape of an L. On the floor is many beanbags. "Children!" Aunt Alice calls getting the families attention.
"Yes Aunt Alice/Mom?" The families chorus and turn to look at Aunt Alice.
"This is Ren Yamashita. Our Adi and Reiji has also returned." Aunt Alice announces.
Ren nods and I wave to the children who smile. Killian stands up with one of the new baby boy in his arms. The other one Kian is holding.
"Adi." Killian smiles and steps towards me. He gives me a half hug making sure that Keetan is comfortable and safe in his arm.
"Kiki." I say back and take the baby boy from Killian so that he can welcome Ren and Reiji.
