Half of their childhood was ripped from them. Taken at a young age they didn't know anything about the world they were brought into.
But at least they had each other

"Come in," I called the person who was knocking. I was looking into the mirror applying a coat of lip gloss so I caught who was walking in through the mirror.
I was honestly surprised Emmeline came to me after what happened over the weekend. I embarrassed her, she was livid and there had been even more intense tension surrounding all of us. Surprisingly she didn't tattle to Lillana and Nicholas so they, Crew and Nolan knew nothing about what was going on even though they had all tried to find out.
We were all closed-lipped. Ezra, Elijah and Grayson were on my side, they didn't agree with her going after my boyfriend and knew this was the only way to give her a wake-up call since Lilliana was actually encouraging her and she wouldn't listen to anyone else. Gabriel though was pissed at me, whereas Emmeline just had ignored my existence for the last five days Gabriel had been shooting me glares.
I knew what I had done wasn't the most ethical but she was lucky I didn't respond the way I wanted to.
"Can I help you?" I wasn't rude but I wasn't nice either, just neutral. I bend down and tie the laces on my shoes. I was ready to head out and all I needed was for Emmeline to get out what she wanted to say.
"Yeah, I wanted to have a chat with you quickly, are you in a rush?" She knew where I was planning on going, Ezra had let my plans slip this morning when we were all in the kitchen before school, they knew when I got home from ballet Eleanor was taking me to get my hair and nails done since I hadn't had the time for pampering since I had arrived.
I was due for a good trim and I hadn't had my nails done since I picked them off during the flight over here out of nervousness.
"Yes, I should meet Eleanor in a couple minutes so unless what you want to discuss takes less than two minutes it might have to wait until we get back."
I was tired of this, I had been here one month, one month of me being mindful I didn't step on toes, letting it slide when Emmeline said something I didn't like or flirted with my boyfriend. One month of her antagonising me and Lilliana doing nothing but edging her on. I was fed up, things might not have been my house but I was a human being, I was on the verge of either going and staying at the Walker household or going to live at the house Xander and I had bought.
We went over there a couple times a week. Just when we needed alone time, sometimes we went together to make up for a time as a couple doing things we couldn't do living in very crowded houses or alone when we had meetings or work to catch up on. Or we just needed the alone time, the quietness we had been used to.
It was a lovely space we had bought, it was a massive amount of land, it had a lot of animals ranging from sheep, to cows to horses and we had gotten a dozen workers and had started prepping the fields to grow vegetables that when they are ripe we are going to donate them to different schools, hospitals and old age homes. The house is right at the back, fenced off from all the activity. It was small, or well smaller than we were used to, it was a log cabin type of building with three bedrooms. One was ours and the other two had been converted to an office and the other to a gym since we went there some mornings instead of actually going to the gym as people thought.
