As Caerellia sat under the tree suddenly a bucket of water fell on her wetting her clothes.
"Raphael!"she screamed as the red hair boy laughed.
"HaHa got you!"he said and when he took a step forward another bucket of water fell on him.
"Ha I got you"she said proudly and started running with him chasing behind her.
"Would you just look at them.Playing like there's no tomorrow"Romeo said as he watched them.Caerellia tripped and Romeo caught her in time and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
"Be careful my Julliet.We don't want to see you hurt" he said.
"T..Thank you Romeo"
"My pleasure sweetheart.Raphael!Be careful when you're playing next time"he shouted at him.
"Oh please are you my guardian angel?"Raphael replied.
"Little Caerellia could've gotten hurt.And bedsides,I am your big brother"
"Only by one minute twenty nine seconds!"
"I'm still older!"As the two argued Sebastian quickly placed a strawberry in Caerellia's mouth then said,
"Tasty right"he said.
"mmm"she replied.
"Caerellia look at what I made"Severux said as he shyly gave her a portrait.
"This is amazing Severux"she said.
"You'll make wonderful art when you grow up"her compliment made him blush.
"Caerellia come check this"Damien said as he waved his hand to her.She went to him and they both begun to say their favourite sentence in their favourite book.She saw Dexter sitting under the tree quietly while using his laptop.She always wondered what he did on his laptop.She sneaked behind him and was about to snatch his laptop when he suddenly grabbed her and she fell on his lap.Her face heated up by shock and he patted her head gently.
"Did you really think you could shock me?"he asked then smirked.Caerellia frowned upon hearing that.For the past few years she had never been able to shock him.She didn't know how but he always predicted her every move.Not only him but them as well but he was the best at it.Her face still red she quickly grabbed his laptop then run as fast as possible.He just smicked and walked towards her his hands in his pocket.They weren't surprised when she tripped and fell flat and they laughed.Even though Severux looked like the shy type, just like his brothers he gave of a dark and powerful aura and he wasn't shy but just quiet.They all saw Caerellia as a little sister they never had.They were always ready to protect her, especially from herself.
"Ow"she groaned.Damien gently picked her up and dusted her dress.
"HaHa!How clumsy are you?"Raphael asked as he wiped a tear.She pouted cheeks angrily which was adorable to them.
"Aww How cute"Sebastian said as he pulled her left cheek.
"Ow that hurts"she complained.
"You're so strong Sebastian"she continued.He then flexed his muscles for her to see.
"I'm definitely much stronger than Sebastian Raphael said then he begun to flex his muscles as well.Soon out of Jealousy Romeo and Severux begun to flex their muscles too.While Dexter and Damien watched the clouds turned darker as it begun to rain and they all runned seeking shelter.After the rain had subsided they extorted her home since they worried she might hurt herself in the rain.When they stopped in front of her gate she said,
"Thanks"then bowed.She knew even though they close they were still royalty and her status was below them.
"You know I don't want my family to meet you.I only allowed you here because they aren't around."she continued and waved them of.In fact her family had them meet before,about three years ago but they she and the six brothers pretended not to know each other.Even then they still protected her.She was grateful for such friends.That was one interesting party she thought.She was the only one in the house and all the servants were kind towards her because they were afraid of Mr.Belmont.
As she sat down she realised how much she missed the former servants.They were so loyal and humble in their work and wouldn't do anything wrong even if they increased their salary.This was all because of their former personal butler James.He was loyal,hardworking and very sharp.Nothing that happened in the mansion could go unseen to him and that's why Jane got rid of him.Just the thought of what her grandmother had done made her clutch her hands so tight it almost turned white.
They can't go unpunished.They must all pay for their crimes but not now she thought.She kept all records of the evil deeds her family did and decided to expose them when she and her cousins reached university.She felt sorry for Rebecca and Jessica but her older cousins Luke and Racheal where almost as corrupted as their parents.They knew the deeds their parents where doing and instead of reporting them they even supported them!The twins were sixteen now and the things they did were unbelievable!
Drugs,sex,smoking,bribery and much more because their parents were helping them.No matter how she preached or advice them they only shoved her aside.Everyone has a choice,including children because some children are born from rich spoiled families yet they do the right thing while those from poor families end up doing horrible things.Because a child even if him/her is influenced by their background can decided whether to refuse or accept it.
The next day was a wonderful day as always when she spent time with the six brothers.She painted with Severux,cooked with Sebastian,sang with Raphael,performed a play with Romeo,read Henry Potter with Damien,and created a website with Dexter.She always did this with them but this time it felt more special.
Her family were attending a banquet tonight that lasted till midnight in order to celebrate the coming of the new year.She couldn't go because she was still seen as a freak.Her grandfather had promised to come back before twelve so they could celebrate together but she knew he won't make it because Jane and the rest of her family would prevent him from doing so.When he had promised her she could see determination in his eyes,unfortunately the more he was determined the more they would do anything to stop him.
Even so she waited for him with her friends until 11:48 but he still didn't come.Disappointed she left with the six princes trailing behind her.
"Sorry"Severux said.
"It's fine.Even though he didn't keep his promise I know he just trying his best and he even blames himself"she replied.She could tell what she said had some effect on Dexter because he seemed lost in thought and was suddenly silent.
"Six minutes before twelve" Raphael said as he looked at his watch.Without her noticing they looked at each other and nodded.
"Caerellia,do you trust us?"Dexter asked as he stared at her intensely.
"W..What?"
"Do you trust us?"he repeated his voice deeper this time.She observed them for a minute and replied,
"Yes I do"They were shocked.Even though they had know each other for the past five years they didn't think she would trust any of them.Caerellia placed her hands on her chest and said,
"Even though we have known each other for a little while,I can confidently say I love and trust you guys.At first you were very mean and worse than bullies and I thought you didn't have a heart.But everyone has a heart even if is buried deep inside.As time grew I realise how you all have emotions and feelings like everyone else.Yes even though I still know little of you and you guys speak or act weird sometimes,I still love you dearly"she finished with a big beautiful smile on her face.They looked at her speechless not knowing what to say.
"Okay.Close your eyes and never open it until I say so"Damien said which confused her but she took his hand and nodded.He carried her and she held him tightly as she felt herself floating.
"You can open your eyes now"Severux said and when she did she was awestruck.She found herself in a Majestic forest filled with many trees and bushes and it looked enchanting as the moon reflected on it.The lake looked so pure and the flowers glowed under the sun.Just like flowers needed the sun to grow it seemed these flowers needed the moon to grow.Romeo looked at his watch,
"Guys we have five minutes!Let's go"he said and started running.Soon they followed him with Caerellia on Sebastian's back.As they were running on top speed,Caerellia admired the forest's beauty.
"What's that"she asked as she pointed to a glowing butterfly.
"That's a moon butterfly.Very rare"Damien responded.Finally after running for a while they stopped.She realised they were standing on cliff filled with grass.When she took a step forward Raphael grabbed her hand.
"Be careful.Come we have something to show you"saying that they lead her to the front of the cliff were she saw most unique thing she had ever seen.Below which looked like the sea was actually just a lake that lead to a waterfall.The waters were raging at each other crashing and hitting and it never stopped.It was beautiful yes but scary at the same time.
"The raging seas"Damien said then he pulled his glasses up and continued.
"Studies shown that even though is just a lake is supernatural because it never stops and the impact of the water is very strong.If a person were to fall there is no hope for him/her"As Caerellia watched she knew he was right because it was so strong that some stones that the scientists had said were almost indestructible were breaking to pieces.It looked like a war between the waters.
"But the cliff is very strong and can withstand almost everything."Dexter said.
"Guys we only have one minute left"Dexter said.Severux held his hand to her and said,
"Let's celebrate this new year together"It was a nice scene.Sebastian,Romeo and Raphael were at his right while Dexter and Damien were at his left all looking at her.She took his hand with a smile and they formed a circle and held each other's hands and shouted along with everyone in the world,
"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1.Happy new year!"and clapped their hands.
"Wait.Aren't we suppose to kiss?"Severux asked and Caerellia cheeks reddened."W..W..What?!"Raphael exclaimed.
"What do you watch Severux?!"Damien asked looking pissed.
"Where did you hear that from?"Sebastian asked.
"He's right you know"Romeo said.
"During parties or events that celebrate the new year after twelve you have to kiss the partner you were dancing with.And it's compulsory"
"What?!"they exclaimed.
"Very well"Dexter said then approached Caerellia and kissed her on her cheek.They were all dumbfounded.
"What!If you give her a kiss then so well I!"Raphael said and kissed her on her cheek as well.He looked at her his cheeks pink and said,
"I only gave you a kiss because Dexter did"
"W...W...What are you doing Sebastian?!"Raphael asked when Sebastian also kissed Caerellia.
"Now we're even"Sebastian said then whistled.
"I can't believe you guys kissed her!"Romeo said and planted a kiss on her.
"I should be the first to kiss my lovingly Julliet"
"I can't believe you guys.Doing such a stupid thing.I might as well too"Damien said and kissed her.Then Severux.Caerellia didn't know what to say.Her face was red the entire time and she was stuck in a trance.
"Guys you did it the wrong way.We were supposed to kiss her on the lips"Romeo said then used some lip boss and pretended to be kissing someone.
"Now then my dear"he said and held Caeruellia.
"Shall we?"he said and leaned for a kiss which broke Caerellia out of her trance.
"S...S...Stop!Only adults do that!"she said and pushed him away.
"But I'm one hundred and Ouch!"Raphael scream.
"What did you hit me for me Damien?!"he asked but Damien just glared at him.
"We should go.I wanna sleep"Sebastian said then yawn.They were all following him except for Caerellia.
"Let's go Caerellia"Dextex said then raise his hand to her as he watched her.She had opened her arms felling the air with that big smile of hers.
"Okay let's go"she said.Then reached for his arm when the cliff cracked and she fell.
Fortunately Dexter was quick enough to grab her hand in time.But he was suddenly sliping then Raphael grabbed his legs.But Raphael was sliping also and Sebastian grabbed his legs then Romeo,then Damien,then Severux.Usually since they very strong Severux could easily pull them forward but he couldn't.
"Pull us up Severux!"Raphael shouted.
"I...I can't!For some reason something is preventing me from doing so."Dexter thought through.The cliff was very strong and even if one was to put a boulder here it still wouldn't crack.So why did it crack just now.Unless this is the work of someone.He looked around and tried to detect any kind of energy but it felt weak.Sometimes he felt it sometimes he didn't.They all tried pulling up but it still didn't work.In fact they were stuck because something or someone was preventing them from moving.Caerellia saw that if Dexter let go of her they would have a better chance of surviving.She swallowed and said,
"Dexter"
"What Isn't.Don't worry we'll survive"he said then the cliff cracked again and Severux almost fell.
"Drop me"she said and they exclaimed
"Are you crazy!"
"I'm holding you guys.If you drop me you'll all have a better chance of surviving."
"You're sick if you think we'll do that!"Raphael said.
"Please let me go"
"No way!"Sebastian said as he struggled harder to move.The cliff cracked bigger this time and they only had a few minutes to before it all crashed.
"There must be some kind of solution to this situation"Damien said as he looked around.
"This isn't the time to speak about science,nerd!"Raphael said.
"It's not science.Maybe if you could understand simple English instead of being so dumb you could have understood what I had just said!"Damien said.
"I'm not dumb Dummy!"
"Well due to my calculations I discovered the amount of your IQ is 0.2.So yes you are dumb"as the two argued Caerellia couldn't help but laugh.Even though they were trapped in a life or death situation they still managed to fight.
"Please.I've never asked for anything so all I ask is for you to let me go Caerellia said.
"No!We would never!If I'll have to die with you I'll die my Julliet!"
"Oh stop being so dramatic Romeo!"Sebastian said.
"Is called acting,dumbface!"
"Well take your acting somewhere else two-face!"and they continued to argue.
"Guys shut up!"Dexter shouted.They were all silent.
"This isn't the time or place!"
"Please let me go"she said.
"No!"they exclaimed
"Like they say:if you really love someone let them go"she said.
"That's a stupid saying"Dexter said.As tears filled Caerellia's eyes the cliff weakened and some parts begun to fall.Seeing it she suddenly licked her palm and placed it on Dexter's hand causing it to be slippery.
"Don't do this Caerellia!"Dexter said as his hand started to slip of.
"I love you guys"she said as her hand started sliping and he was only holding her finger.
"Caerellia!"they exclaimed when she fell.The last thing they saw was her dark cream hair flowing,her bright chocolate brown eyes shiny,her snow fair skim glowing and her big smile.Suddenly they could move and they helped each other until all of them were safely on the cliff.
"C..Caerellia!"Damien scream when the cliff begun breaking and they had to run still they reached the middle of the forest.When it stopped they immediately rushed to check on her and gasped.
"D...D...Do you think she's still alive?"Severux asked.
"How can she be!"Raphael said.
"Once a person falls the impact of the water alone can drown you"Damien said as he cleaned his glasses.
"B..But is possible she swam to the top, right?"Sebastian asked.
"Even if she did the water current is so strong it properly shove her away plus there are many sharp rocks."
"But what if she miraculously reached land safely"Romeo asked.
"That's not possible.She can't reached land alive because the impact of the water,the sharp rocks and the falling of the cliff and almost half of the forest.Even a pure bloodied can't survive that."
"Can you stop being so negative!Maybe she's still a-"
"No she's not!"Dexter interrupted Severux and they looked at him.
"Damien was just being realistic.There's no way she's alive."he spoke coldly.He felt the energy earlier was gone.'Who ever did this was targeting Caerellia.'he thought then left with his brothers.As they were walking no one talked.They were devastated but as royals they were taught not to cry.They just went home quietly.

"I did what you wanted me to do your highness" a woman said as she knead before a woman sitting on a throne.
"Good.You may leave."the woman sitting said.After she got up she stood in front of the window.Because of the dark,one could not see her face and dress.As she approached the window one could see she wore a black due to her reflection on the window.She smicked and said,
"Everyone and everything that belong to me should be perfect"her dark sexy voice filled the empty room.
