The Knife In My Hand

Chapter Twenty Two, Gotcha

Point Of View - Romeo Bianchi

     It took us a little bit to empty it and put away the water guns. My older twin decided to shoot the water out of his on me while Luca just dumped it in the pool. What I don't understand is the silliness of Mateo and he is the oldest, not me. Mateo has a silly personality only when around family but when outside the walls he's serious. I had not giggled or smiled since nine years old. When my five year old little sister was kidnaped. Now with Elma back in our lives my siblings, Father, and Mom are smiling again.

      Once done with my shower changed into a blue shirt and black sweatpants. Before going downstairs I used my hair dryer but then realized my green hair. Green Hair! Now going rapidly to my shower pulling out the shampoo and conditioner. I squirt some of the shampoo in my hand. It looked like my normal shampoo. Next I did my conditioner and there was nothing out of the ordinary or no discoloration.

     Being in the hallway I met Luca who was laughing at his own green hair. "You got pranked too?" Luca asked me while laughing. It's not funny Luca...

     "Stop it or I will punch you in the face." I made it clear to him who stopped laughing very hard in a grouchy way.

     "You're No Fun!" Luca gave me a face.

     When we entered there was a chuckle from everyone in the room. "So what happened here?" Damien's deep voice was heard behind me then a hand was placed on me and Lucas' shoulders.

     "I don't know?" My shoulders shrugged to the response to Damien.

     Romeo came out of the kitchen and approached us. "What happened?" He looked very amused at my hair.

     "Someone got you guys good!" Mateo came in with a smile.

     "I know Mateo!" I growled at my twin while he glared at me back.

     "Wow I wonder who got you?" Ricco stated while sitting down on the couch.

     We all looked at him like it wasn't you. "It wasn't you?" I expressed it to everyone.

     Then Ricco came out with, "I wish it was me."

     There was a snicker from Damien he figured out who. "If it wasn't any of us who?" Luca asked and then Elma entered the room. She started laughing, we all looked at her and then she started running. I started to chase after her with Luca. "She is fast!" Luca pointed out the obvious.

     "Dua!" I eyed balled Luca.

     Then we lost where Elma went. "Over Here!" I yelled out to Luca as I pointed towards where she was running.

     We chased her for about a minute more until Elma ran into Father while running around the corner. "What's going on here Boys?" Father's voice echoed through the hallway. I looked at Luca who all so gulped his throat. "And why is your hair green?" When Dad said that then Elma could not help having a laughing fit. Where she could not stand and was lying on the ground.

     Before I could say something Father interrupted me. "Elma, did you prank your brothers?" After that was asked she finally calmed down and nodded her head yes. Then out of my shock Father started giggling too.

     "Let's go get lunch now." There was a smile on Father's face. It's good and bad that she is back with us. The good thing is that a smile comes back on our faces. The bad is that Elma will become a target... my little sister.
