Chapter 9 - To The Rescue

I closed my eyes, as the sensation of falling wrapped around my body. I felt arms around me, I wonder if this what falling death feels like. "Nixy, you can open your eyes were on the floor now," the familiar voice said. Opening my eyes.

"Dad?", I said

" Yes it's me. Your hands, if your mother sees that she'll get mad. I don't know if those human weapons will survive" he held me in his arms still.

"Oh no Kai", my eyes darted around looking for him. I looked over and saw my brother lifting him up with the help of my sister. "What is this a family affair" I said confused.

"I don't know young lady" the voice said, it sounded annoyed.

"Oh shit", I said before I could realise the words had already flew out.

"Oh shit indeed. I've been worried sick about you. Roy turn around so I can her." My father turned around slowly. "Oh my baby girl, Nixy. Your tiny little hands. My baby", its amazing how she turns from being angry at me to wanting to care for me. "Come here baby girl let me hold you"

"Okay, but what about the guys up there", I said whilst my mum held me.

"Guys?", my father said gritting his teeth.

"Yh guys. They wanted to used me to steal stuff then sell me to some nobles"

"Oh really. Alinta I'll be back soon. Take the children home", my Fathers' eyes grew with rage.

"I hope you do what I think you're going to do. Honey please, take your time", my mother said gritting her teeth. She started walking away with me whilst my sister carried kai bridal style. I'm so gonna use that against him. My mother got into the carriage with my sister, brother and Kai. The carriage ride was silent my siblings looked angry and were glaring at me whilst I sat on my mothers lap. My mother began humming whilst combing my hair, I felt tired I started to close my eyes holding onto my egg.

I open my eyes I'm in my room. Laying down next to me was my brother on my right hand side, I look over and see my sister on my left. Across the room was my mother, on the sofa was Kai still fast asleep.

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND", my mother said it was the first time I heard her yell at me. She usually spoke to me with a caring voice, so sweet. "RUNNING AWAY, with this boy. Whom has been placed in our care. Do you know how selfish you were. Not only didn't you think of what it might do to your family if you got hurt-",

"Mum-", I said but my mother cut me off.

"DO NOT INTERRUPT ME. You only thought of yourself. Your sibling and I, your father have been worried about you. This poor boy, why, why did you bring him along. What would you have done if something happened to him? Why did you runaway? Please answer the question", my mother looked heart broken. I never thought about what my family would feel like, I was only focused on what I wanted to do. My mother was right, I dragged Kai along with me. What would I have done if he got injured?

"I, I", should I say, will they believe me. "I had a dream. You guys all died. You were killed, I couldn't stop it, I was left alone. I became a bad person and I was killed. I just wanted to save you guys", before I realised I was crying, the tears were falling down my face. This was the first I've cried since I took over this body. My mother walked over a hugged me.

"Shhhhh, its okay. I believe you. Me and your father will investigate. Now you rest up. Alessia, Asmin you are not to tell her off, nor be angry with her. Do I make myself clear.

"Yes, Mum" they said. My mother walked out the room. They both held me, and began crying. I didn't realise how much worry I placed on them.

"Guys, I can't breathe" I said.

"I don't care. Deal with it", Alessia said squeezing me tighter.

"Have you guys seen my egg?"

"Its on your bed side table" Asmin said.

"Don't you want to see if Kai okay?"

"No, my little sister is way more important than him" Asmin said smirking into my shoulder.

"I can hear you. You know, I also know that you said that on purpose knowing damn well I could hear you. You sick fu-" Kai said sitting up, before my sister interrupted him.

"I would prefer if you don't taint my baby sisters' ears with your disgusting language" Alessia said glaring at him.

"Can you guys let me go. I want to hold my egg," they let go and I reached for my egg. Finally I can focus my energy into my hands and set it on fire. I closed my eyes and felt the fire charge through my hands. The egg began to crack and chirping started, out came a red bird.

"Fe, Fe, Fe", the little bird said. All of a sudden I felt my body tingle, it bird locked eyes with me. It's eyes glowed.

"Fe, your name is Fe", I said

"Nix you just bonded with the bird", Alessia said. Was this what it feels like to bond with the animal. I feel like Fe is apart of me I want to protect him. He jump on my shoulder and started rubbing his face on mine. It felt nice.

"Fe, that tickles" I said, my brother looked at the bird.

"I feel like I have some competition," Asmin said, trying to touch me Fe tried nipping at his finger.

"Asmin, you are my one and only brother. You have no competition", I said tapping Asmin hair. I giggled and looked over to Kai. "I'm sorry Kai, you could have gotten seriously hurt", I said looking at him.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm older than you and I came with you, I practically encouraged you. I put us in danger" Kai said

"No, I did. It was a dangerous idea for a 5 year old and an 8 year old to do"

"Listen you two, don't do it again okay. I only have one sister. Plus Nixy if you leave me alone with Asmin I'll go crazy" Alessia said giggling.

"No, I'll go crazy being left alone with you. And your only okay with this because you've nearly killed me a hundred times" Asmin said gripping the covers

"Well you guys birthday is a month away, what are you guys gonna do. About the assassination", Kai said sitting up.

"Well, lets fuck em up, as a family", My Dad said kicking down the door.

"Like the Incredibles"

"The who", everyone said looking at me confused.
