He was laying on a bed. As he sat up he looked outside. A lady walked into the room.
"Master Liam, Your wife is calling you down for breakfast."
The lady bowed and said so in a calming voice.
*FLASHBACK*
"Please, live. I want you to live a fulfilling life."
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Cherry's alive? What is this? A dream? A near death flashback? No it feels to real to be either."
As he was thinking, he answered to the lady.
"Thank you Cherry. This may sound weird but could you tell me the date? Year included."
"It is November, 6 20XX sir." Cherry answered.
"A day before the eclipse! That's so early!"
Liam thought hard. Liam told Cherry to leave the room and got out of bed. Cherry left the room and Liam got dressed. He looked in the mirror and thought.
"If the eclipse is tomorrow then we need to prepare for it."
REBIRTHED AGAIN
He went downstairs to see his wife and youngest son at the table.
"Good morning dear!"
Liam looked at his wife and gave a hidden disgusted look. His choker, which helped show how his heart was, turned yellow.
*FLASHBACK*
"Liam, they could protect us better than you ever could. Your weak and pathetic."
"Papa, your pathetic. I can't believe your my papa."
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Good morning Paige. Isaac."
Liam slipped passed Paige, his wife, and patted Isaac's head.
"Where is Leo?"
Liam looked around the room for his oldest, Leo.
"He's up in his room. Why do you need him?"
"Because it's breakfast. Did you plan on letting him starve?! That's pretty irresponsible as his mother."
"I-Dear, I'm sorry He doesn't usually eat breakfast."
"Nevermind I'll just go get him myself."
Liam held the bridge of his nose and walked off to Leo's room.
"Mama, what's wrong with papa? He didn't ask me how I was feeling or even hugged me. And Leo? When did he start caring about that peice of trash?"
"Ugh, I lost my cool. I need to relax."
Liam's choker went back blue, meaning that his heart was steady.
*Knock knock*
"Leo, Are you still in bed? Breakfast is ready. You should come eat."
There was silence. Not a sound.
"Leo?"
Liam opened the door and looked inside the room. He walked over to the bed and reached out to wake up Leo.
"Leo? Wake up."
Leo jumped out and sat in top of Liam.
"Oh, it's just you. What do you want?"
"Your awake, I can see that. But can we have this conversation without you on me?"
"What do you want?"
"I came to get you for breakfast."
"I'm not hungry. Besides, it's to loud down there."
Leo got off of Liam and closed his door. Liam started thinking.
"Wait, if he doesn't want to eat downstairs then we can eat here in his room.
"Hey Leo, do you-"
"And if your wanting to eat in here in my room, forget it."
Liam made a disappointed face and thought.
"What? Do you have a worm crawling in my brain?"
"O-ok."
Liam rubbed the back of his neck.
"Can you get out? I'm going to get dressed."
"Leo. Don't go to school today. Stay home."
"Why?"
"Because it's your birthday of course! We're going to celebrate here at home!"
"Since when did you care about my birthday?"
"This kid. Was I really this bad in the last timeline?" Liam thought.
"Well. I geuss I'm in a good mood?"
Liam shrugged. Leo put a white mask in and pulled it under his chin.
"Just get out, old man."
"Old man?! But I'm still only in my 30s!" Liam thought.
"Alright I'll get out."
Liam walked out of the room and closed the door. He went back downstairs and opened his computer.
What would kid like Leo want for his birthday? A gaming console? Isaac would like it but Leo? Action figures? Aren't those for little kids? Man this is going to be difficult."
"Master Liam. If I may, I can make a cake for young master Leo."
"That would be great Cherry!"
"That's it! It's nice and simple and it will taste good. And everyone can share it as well!" Liam thought.
Liam heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Someone turned the corner. Liam sighed. It was his older brother, Oliver. And Oliver's wife, Amelia along with there only daughter, Yuki.
"Well if it isnt my asshole of a brother!"
"Dear, that's not appropiate."
"Hello Oliver."
"I still don't understand why YOU are the CEO and I'm not. I'm the oldest."
"It's probably because your a selfish whining baby and not reliable."
"Asshole."
Yuki was behind her mom and peeked forward. She smiled waved.
"Hi uncle Liam!"
"Hello Yuki."
Leo came downstairs to see the commotion.His mask was on his face now. He was dressed in a gray jacket and a black shirt with black loose leggings and white shoes.
"Did you know it's Leo's birthday today?"
Liam said to Yuki. Yuki got exited.
"Really? Happy birthday cousin Leo!"
"There's also a cake. Would you like to have some?"
"Ye-"
Oliver looked at his daughter.
"Yuki."
"No thanks, I already ate."
"Oh Yuki. Your such a good kid. "Now if your dad could listen as well as you do."
"I heard that asshole!"
" I wasn't exactly whispering."
Leo went outside to the backyard. Liam noticed and followed him out. Leo was feeding a white dog.
"Isn't that Isaac's dog?"
"Yes. Why?"
"You can keep him if you want. It's not like Isaac cares for him anyway."
"Fine."
They both went inside and left the dog outside. They ate lunch and talked adult stuff.
"How come papa is giving attention to YOU?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because of your shitty attitude towards me and he finally felt guilty. I don't really care anyway."
"Um Why don't we watch a movie? Cousin Leo and Isaac."
"Whatever."
"I'll get papa back. Just you watch, you peice of trash."
After the movie it was around dinner time. So they ate and went to sleep. Liam woke up in the middle of the night.
"The eclipse should be happening soon. I should pack and give that to Leo."
Liam went through Paige's draw to get an earring. He grabbed a needle and headed towards the garage. Liam had called one of his assistants to drop off 3 months worth of supplies. He touched the boxes and it all went into the earring. He then headed towards Leo's room. He took the needle and poked Leo's finger. He dripped a drop of blood on the earring. Liam put the earring on Leo and walked off to his room. As soon as he closed the door, Leo sat up.
"What an idiot. He thinks he can put it on without me knowing. How stupid."
Leo went back to sleep. Liam gathered some extra supplies they would need for the trip.
A few hours later, Everyone woke up. Liam was the last to wake because he was uo for a part of the night. He woke up to a scream. He rushed downstairs to see what was happening. Cherry was comforting another maid. Liam was walking downstairs while buttoning his last buttons on his shirt.
"What's going on?"
