13 Family Brunch

Opal woke up with the sun in her eyes. It shined through the sheer curtains and lit up the large room she had forgotten she was in. She sat up in bed and looked around again; she knew it couldn't have been a dream. She sighed and placed the picture frame next to her on the bedside table before getting out of bed. She spotted a dress laid out on the sofa and assumed that was what she was to wear for the day. It was a somewhat formal dress but in the simple, vintage, way most of the house shared. It was black with dark plum accents and reached just below her knees. She put it on and paired it with the plum tights and small black heels that were also laid out on the sofa.

Opal wanted to look presentable today as the twins said that she would be meeting the rest of the family. She walked to a small vanity that was next to the closet and sat down. She sat down and looked in the mirror to see that her hair was disheveled and her makeup was smudged. She cringed slightly and took her half-twin tails out of her hair before picking up a hairbrush and brushing her hair before using a cloth to remove her makeup entirely.

She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was nearly 9:00 am. She walked to the door and twisted the knob hesitantly. She was about to open the door when she heard people walking closer. She let go of the handle and ran back to the bed, getting under the covers and pretending she was asleep. She heard the door open and listened to the voices as they entered the room; she heard the twins, Dominic, and... Donnie? She sat up immediately and looked at them. Elio flinched slightly at her fast movements though his wide smile didn't leave his face. She just stared at them for a moment.

"Donnie? What are you doing here?" She asked in shock while getting out of bed and walking over to them.

"The sneaky rascal followed Nicky here," Elio started with a smile before pinching Donnie's cheek much to his discomfort. Donnie looks at Opal guiltily. She just laughed and hugged him before hugging Dominic, and Noel as well.

Later that day, after Opal had gotten freshened up, she and Noel joined the boys in the lounge. It was around 11:00 a.m. at that point. She took a seat next to Dominic on one sofa, while the twins sat on the other. Noel floated around the room while curiously looking at things. Donnie had gone home earlier, saying he would text her that night. She was still wearing the outfit she put on that morning and she left her wavy hair down, only really redoing her makeup.

"Opal, we're going to have brunch with the family soon. They've been informed of your presence and are excited to see you," Emir said while Elio nodded.

"Where are they anyway?" Opal asked because she hadn't seen any of them around the house.

"Well, since the house is so big, most of the time you don't run into anyone by accident. That's the only reason we've all been able to live together for so long," Elio said with a laugh at the end, and Opal nodded. She looked at Dominic. He was in his ghoul form. She found it weird to see him like that and reached out to touch his horns as if to see if they were real.

He laughed and put his head down for her. His horns were different from the twins', who had curled horns like a ram. They sat closer to his forehead and swooped back like imperial horns. When she thought back to the family photo in her room, she remembered that they all had slightly different horn shapes. This made her excited to see what hers would look like.

"This is weird..." She said as she brought her hands back down and Dominic lifted his head. He chuckled again and ruffled her hair.

"You'll get used to it when you get some of your own," Dominic said, and she smiled before she remembered something that made her face drop.

"Why did our parents leave?" She asked Dominic and the twins. The three looked at each other before Dominic nodded.

"Our family has owned a business for many years," Emir said.
