Real

Chapter 9

"Good joke Ryder-" I nervously chuckled "-now tell me the real stuff."

His piercing eyes striked my own dull  ones. " I just did Lacey."

"I- What- I just don't get this! Mom and Dad are our parents!" I said with frustration

"We're adopted! They might have been the ones who "raised" us but they're not our parents." The same amount of frustration was shot right back at me

"Well a lot of kids are adopted Ryder." I reasoned "I still don't see what this has to do with your 'fake death.'"

"I was getting to that." standing up Ryder began to pace in a short line "They're people after us, well me then you."

"okay..." confusion laced itself between each syllable

"We're just different from everyone else."

"What are we superheros? oo! What about vampires?" I snickered

But it wasn't even a complete second before my brother had scolded me "This is a serious matter, why are you making jokes?" 

"I'm-"

Ryder's pocket vibrated repeatedly before he answered "Ok" "Tell him to come to your room." "Of course now."  And with a click the phone call ended

My eyes shifted to the knocking sound coming from the door. "Ryder, He's here."

Ryder straightened himself out, taking a deep breath. "Let him in."

I rose to my feet as the unknown man walked into the room. "Mr.Halo, nice to see you again and your sister finally nice to see her in a safe environment for now." His slender hand was extended in my direction, leaving me hesitant to shake it. "Ah, understandable." he said as he retracted his hand

"Have you told Miss. Halo the circumstances Ryder?" I glanced in my brother's direction observing how he nodded his head 'no' "I didn't get as far as i wanted to."

"Please, sit down Miss Halo." with that i sat right back on the bed. Both pairs of eyes were on me, making me feel as if there was some type of pressure about to be put on my shoulder.

"I'm not going to sugar coat anything because that would be completely unfair to you. You can't go back home, contact any of your old friends, or get your belongings."

"That's ri-" I fumed before getting rudely cut off

"Your brother had to fake his death to protect you. To make sure that the people who are after him, would think that there was nothing else they wanted."

"I don't understand." 

"As your brother may have told you, you two are not normal people. Well in the government's eyes you aren't."

"What does that even mean?"

"It means you're royalty."
