Betrayal

Chapter Three: Bland

The sun peered through the sheer curtains blanketing my room in light. I groaned while yawning and opened my eyes. Shock set in for a moment trying to figure out where I was.

"Aza," I heard Kai at my door, "Get dressed, breakfast is downstairs." 

"Why do I have to get dressed to eat breakfast?" I muttered. 

He laughed, "I'm not gonna make you get dressed but warning: everyone else is." 

I sighed pushing the covers aside. I grabbed up the trash bag and suitcase dropping them on the bed. I put onthe black jeans and a sweatshirt, fixing my hair back into two braids. I happily hopped down the stairs smelling bacon. I followed the sizzling noise to where I rounded a corner. Several people stopped mid-bite and stared at me. 

My eyes widened at the overwhelming feeling and I slowly backed up. I pumped into someone as I turned around, "You must me-" 

"Nope." 

I darted back for the stairs just as Kai came out of his room in a nice black suit, "Aza, you okay?" 

"No! Why didn't you tell me the whole counsel was gonna be at breakfast?!" 

Kai just laughed a little, "Alright come on," He grabbed my arm pulling back towards the table. 

"Kai, I think we may have scared your daughter off," One woman said. She looked up seeing me standing next to him. 

"Aza, this is... your family." 

Another woman got up quickly letting her heels click on the floor, "My, you look just like your father," She smiled, "I'm your Aunt Ciara." 

"Uh hi." 

Kai quickly stepped in, "Alright let's not overwhelm the kid and let her eat," 

I sat down with Kai separating me from everyone else. He started slowly introducing me to everyone, "That is your Aunt Ciara," He pointed to the woman who had happily introduced herself earlier, "That's your Aunt Reyna and Uncle Cyril," The couple sat at the end of the table my aunt waved but my uncle stared at his phone, "And their boy, Apollo," The boy across the table leaned back giving me a death stare and wore a nice black button-up, "Your Aunt Cia and Uncle Aito," They both smiled at me, "And they're twins boys, Sorin and Soter," Two twins both taking more of Japanese features from there dads side paid no attention to me while fighting over a piece of bacon. They wore matching suits and looked exactly the same, "Ciara where's..." Kai nodded to the empty spot. 

"Probably still asleep," She sighed. 

"And this is your grandma and grandpa," Kai leaned over whispering as they walked in. 

"Aza," My grandma smiled and happily greeted me. 

My grandpa laughed and looked at my father, "She truly is your spitting image." 

After about 20 minutes everyone's eyes shifted as another boy came down the stairs in a sweatshirt with his hood pulled over his head in a pair of old sweatpants, yawning as he joined the rest of us, "You had one job, be at breakfast on time," My aunt Ciara scolded. 

"Sorry, I didn't know she was coming today," The boy sat down across from me, "Hey, I'm Sutton," He yawned again before engulfing his food. 

The rest of the table looked at him annoyed, "Well, Aza, what're your plans for today?" My aunt stepped in. 

"I-" 

"I'm gonna show her around the town a little bit, and then go find some stuff to decorate her room."
