The Olo'eyktan, Tonowari had introduced to us his two teenage children . Ao'nung , the eldest and Tsireya , the youngest for now . I could see that their mother Ronal was with child , meaning Tsireya would no longer be the youngest child .

Anyway Ao'nung didnt like the fact that his father volunteered them both to help us children and show us how it is around here, Tsireya on the other hand was very joyful to the news .

" Come, come ! ill show you to your new home " she hurried us

" Looks like lo'ak will get more time with his new girrlllfriendsddd " i shook him

" shut up ! " he pushes

" look ! hes blushingggggg " neteyam joins in to lighten our mood, seeing as we were both not so happy with the fact we had to stay here

" shut up ! the both of you " he pushes us both and turns around to grab some things with Tsireya

A hit Teyam on the chest and wave him over as i start walking towards our ikrans so we can grab some things also .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Tsireya leads us to our new home Tuk just bounces about on these ... trampoline- bouncey net - things - and since she gets easily distracted she was also going upto every little thing that looked different .. holding up the line might i add

" ughh tuk ! " i retort as she stopped rigt in front of me to look at one of the sea creatures , it bad enough im in a bad mood for having to now live here and call this my home , i dont want to be in a bad mood with my adorable little sister . She hurries along jumping and just making sounds " Err ! Err ! Err ! " and it carries on

Since she is no longer by my side , i sigh in exhaustion my brother neteyam throws his arm around me , i look up at him in annoyance

" Hey .. we'll be fine here, we'll all be together remember .. as a- as a family " he hesitates to say the last part

why ? i wonder

As i was about to comment on his hesitation we suddenly come to a stop at one of these hut things

We all make our way in " Your new home " Tsireya announces cheerfully

It was just silence till mother drops what she was holding and sighs

I guess mother was just as upset as all of us... maybe a bit more

We all put our stuff away and just try and adjusts to everything... the coolest thing about our ' new home ' is that the sea is right outside .

I sit down right outside our house but out of my families sight, well i thought i was

" Hey ! " neteyam greets

" Shhhhhh ! " i hurriedly shushed him , i didnt want our parents at least to find us

" shit.. sorry " he now whispers

" you dont have to whisper skxawng, just dont yell or mom and dad will find us " i roll my eyes

i look to my brother as he went quiet and i see he is smirking as he made is way over to me and sat down

i nudge him with my body " what are you smirking at " i smile

his smirk all of a sudden drops... once again for an unknown reason

What is up with him

neteyams pov :

She said she doesnt want our-... well my parents to find us... i mean in her mind shes my sister so ig our parents but anyway she said she didnt want them to find us

I start to smirk as i think of how cute she looks after saying that .. i mean she doesnt want them to find us meaning she wants alone time with me ... right ?

She has that cute gummy little smile plastered on her face as she asks why im smirking and i want to tell her but....

If i tell her this one non important detail she'll ask more questions or get weirded out that her ' older brother ' is thinking of her in a non ' little sister ' way but in a beautiful girl im am inlove with way...

my smirk drops and i lean down with my elbows rested on my knees as i stare into the water below us..

I want to tell her how much i love her.. and not as a ' little sister ' but as My ani .

" whats wrong ? " she genuinely asks placing her hand on my back and leaning down to my eye sight to try and look into my eyes

" I- " i get cut off by my father calling for us

we both look up and towards the direction our fathers voice is coming from

" um- never mind " i laugh nervously " come on " i stand up and put my hand out waiting for hers

she stutters a bit but then just sighs and lays her hand in mine standing up

i hold her hand very dearly in my own as we make our way back to the entrance of our ' new home ' i have to tell someone how i feel...

Then lo'ak shows up in front of my eyes . Really eywa ... are you trying to tell me to talk about this with my little brother ?! Anis supposed twin ?!!

A cold breeze rushes by and so i think that yeah , i gotta talk about this with my brother... which means i gotta tell him... everything

But before that ! we gotta go to the family meeting ..

Anis already gone inside and sat down next to Tuk and infront of our... my .... our ? ughhh !! just in front of dad ...

I grab hold of lo'ak and pull him down

Throughout this ' family meeting ' all i was doing was just thinking of ani.. and how im going to tell lo'ak that his ' twin sister ' isnt really his twin...

This is gonna be a very long day...
