Frankly, right now is two days after I beat up those guys for harper, no- not FOR blondie.

 They were quite lucky actually. 

I went quite light on them if you ask me. 

I'm getting dressed and brushing my hair and slipping on my pants, to go down to breakfast.

It's nearly parent's day, yeah I know, weird name, but it's when our parents come to visit us and they can take us out for a whole day and just hang. 

It isn't Half term day though, that's later, but basically, the same things happen but there is a swimming exhibit- and sometimes other stuff.

Sometimes my parents can make it, sometimes they can't but my dad always tries his best to come even though he doesn't say it. 

It doesn't really affect me if they come or not. 

I think. 

I am heading down to breakfast and take a seat next to my brother with my blueberry waffles, kinda basic. 

My brother had a grave look on his face when he saw me but then went back to his normal pretty friendly face. 

"What?" I slowly whispered, 

"Come with me" he replied picking up my waffles and going out to the hallway. 

Once we are out in the hallway I pull him into the janitors closet, 

"Something is wrong, tell me. Actually, let me guess  Lucian did something fucked or the loser Ciaran did something very ass-kissey," I snap eating my waffles and rolling my eyes, 

"Right but wrong?  So one of Ciaran's minions took Aureliano's ring, " Aeron said clenching his jaw, 

"Wow, what a surprise!" I say sarcastically,

"Well, what do you expect?!  Aureliano was LITERALLY an extremely powerful man with tons of money, minions and a master plan to get even more money and he left it to his sister who died and was his only close related family member even though he barely talked to her and then she gave all the information their cousin's CHILDREN's who also told their children who are greedy fucks " my brother ranted breathing heavily, 

"Wow you literally told me his whole ass life story but you did forget the part where he ALSO had his best friend who was equally as rich as him and they put all their money in some weird place locked away for someone else to fucking FIND and he ALSO knew everything before anyone else and he told his wife who wrote EVERYTHING down in a diary and passed it on to her relatives which eventually lead to our Dad and Mother and to us," I snickered mocking Aeron. 

"Wow we're crazy," Aeron sighed,

"Yeah we sure are, why have a boring life when you can kill so many people and put your whole lives into finding a bunch of ancient men's money right?" I drawl going back out, 

"Oh and I know we have to go and get it, but I have class Az, so tell me later, " I order walking out. 

"Morana Wraith please report to the principal's office IMMEDIATELY" A voice sternly spoke through the loudspeakers, 

that was completely expected, I know exactly who reported me. 

I calmly make my way to the end of the wide, brightly lit red and gold hallway, at the end there is a large door with a doorbell, it's the principles office. 

I ring the doorbell and the vice principal of the school- Mrs Davies opens the door and raises her eyebrows at me then leads me to the principal's desk. 

The principal, Mrs Bancroft is a very fascinating woman, she's in her early 50's and has deep copper hair with only a few strands starting to go grey, she has an extremely determined mouth and a calming personality, something about her makes people want to obey her. 

She looks at me with an unreadable expression, she's known me since I was quite young which was when I came to this school. 

We're not besties or anything. 

I'm not the only one who's been here most of their life. 

I see the two boys who I beat up. 

Of course. 

They glare at me trying to be intimidating, they look quite funny actually. 

"Please take a seat Morana," Mrs Bancroft instructs with a stern but calm voice, and I take a seat,

"I have been, notified by Bram and Daniel that you have harmed them for apparently no reason," she  continues raising her eyebrows, "So please Morana I need you to tell me truthfully what was the sole reason you did this?"

I gave a smirk and a small laugh too, 

"Well you see Mrs Bancroft, I witnessed my dear roommate getting actively harassed by these two dreadful boys," I said with a slight hint of a sarcastic tone when I said dear roommate which I'm sure she knew, 

"And I assume you toom it upon yourself to go defend her?"  Mrs Bancroft informed seriously, 

"Yes that is correct," I say quite truthfully, 

"Hm, that seems fair, for one time only though, in the future I'm sure talking will be enough from you to stop someone harassing another individual, you can leave," she instructed with a twinkle in her eye, 

"As for you two, we will be having a further discussion after Morana exits" she added. 

I left the principles office smirking to myself.

Good old Bancroft.

I head to class 15 minutes late because of course, I took the long way.

~~~

The school day is over and currently, I am in Aeron's room and he is explaining how we are going to get Aureliano's ring back from Lucian and his father, wouldn't be too hard I should think. 

"So we'll go to  their secret passage?" I ask my brother,

"Yeah, but we haven't been for quite a bit of time, I'm quite sure they know that we've been there," he responds,

"So? Of course, they know, that's probably why Lucian was being extra bitchy, " I replied rolling my eyes, 

"What do you mean SO, they probably know we're coming or they've locked the secret passage or something-" Aeron says exasperated, 

"You're worried about them LOCKING IT?? Az, there's something called lock picking." I say annoyed, seriously he's being dumb. 

Aeron grits his teeth, going red, hmm, something strange is going on...

"I'm not WORRIED, you know Lucian and all that... and his family-" he said slowly, 

"WAIT A DAMN MINUTE-" I interrupt a surprising thought popping into my head, 

"You're not-" I add, the corners of my mouth starting to twitch, 

"Uh, noo" 

"Az- ARE YOU SCARED?!" I shout, laughing but annoyed at the same time, 

"Scared? Oh hell no Morana, I'm not SCARED," Aeron yells defensively, I now know for a fact that he is a tad bit scared, not fully, but a tad bit. 

He's my brother, I know exactly how he's feeling. 

"You know I can just go by myself," I say in an obvious tone, I mean I'm a way better fighter than Aeron, I guess the training paid off huh, 

"No, you're not going by yourself, I'm coming," he demands, 

"Okay then, loser," I tease giving Aeron a playful punch on his arm.

It's on, I and Aeron are going to get Aureliano's ring back. 

Look out, Lucian.
