In the morning, Derick was still a bit stunned from what the twins had told him. I mean, I would be too if I heard that there is probably a monster going around killing people and I am not suppose to say anything. He got out of bed after rolling around in bed restlessly before giving up and actually doing something. The thought of a monster or monsters or a gang of monsters was still lingering in his head, almost making him forget his new family, although he would never forget because he hated them with a passion. Even if they were kind and soft spoken like his mother ,at times, it made him dislike them more. How dare they copy her personality?! That too was at the back of his head, but he knew staying on it would just get him worked up. Before leaving his room, he muttered to himself "Smile inside and out, fake it til you make it." Opening his door, his room was next to three other rooms and it was up stairs. Those rooms belong to Quinn, Theo and Remi, they are his 'sibling-in-law'.Which was horrible for Derick because they were so nosy and loud, why couldn't they just shut up? He walked to the stairs and peeped down to see if anyone was there ,so he didn't have to deal with any nonsense, and walked down the stairs. Making sure he didn't make any noise.
The plan was to sneak out and go to his friends house, he didn't care if he got in trouble. Because, he had more important things to do and because they would pity him since he did loss his mother. And boy will he weaponize that. As he step foot in the kitchen, the first thing he heard was the voice of Quinn.
Quinn is the same height of Derick despite being one year older than him, she has amber eyes and has a more brown-ish black hair color. Which is rather short.She is a more preppy girl, and usually wears her hair in a pony-tail or bun(s).
"Oh~ brother, why are you up so early? The sun is about to rise." Derick groaned quietly, "Quinn Samartha, I do not wish to deal with your foolishness so early in the morning." He said in a passive-aggressive tone as he turned to face her, "Someone is grumpy, did you have a nightmare or did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Quinn asked cheerfully as she leaned on the counter, it looks like she was waiting on someone. Derick didn't bother to answer her question, instead he looked at her with a vacant stare.Holding in his frustration that his plan would not work so smoothly, even if it was simple it was clearly going to work if Quinn wasn't here. "Aw~ you don't want to play with me?" She asked in a high pitch tone, trying to sound annoying on purpose. Derick was tempted to ask if she was 8 years old in a sarcastic manner considering that she is one year older than him. Quinn sighed, and spoke in her normal flat tone, "I just wanted to say, I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that you were doing something other than just visiting your friends." Derick responded with a bit of a edge to it, "How 'bout you mind your business, I mind mine. Boy player." When Derick meant by 'boy player' it was about Quinn manipulating her classmates to do what she wanted. If she wanted drama, it was done, if she wanted every boy to become bald ,you bet it would happen.
Quinn chuckled a bit before she walked a bit closer to Derick, "You don't know half of what will happen to you if you can't keep your big mouth shut." Her tone cold and her word might a threat, clearly she isn't very happy about the news Derick knows. Especially if her mother knows. "But, I won't do anything to you ,my beloved brother, as I am not a bad person. Anyways, see ya Mr Grumpy~" She said as she walked away. From the first meeting with her, Derick always thought she was weird. But then again, he shouldn't talk.
As Derick stand there ,processing what just now happen. He felt a hand on his shoulder, that jumped him but he quickly regained his composure. He turned to see who it was and it was 'Remi'. Remi has hazel eyes and has a little faint scar on his nose, he has dark brown hair and is kind of tall, kind of not.But definitely taller than Derick and Quinn and likes to wear jackets with anything really. And is the oldest of the bunch. Remi spoke in a humorous tone, "Why do y'all always wake up before me? I just want to wake up before y'all, stand in the shadows in the dark and wait for y'all to scare you guys. Is that so hard?" Derick didn't say anything, not that he didn't want to say something it's just he was at a lost of words from what Remi just now said. Remi took off his hand off of Derick's shoulder and continue to walk with a lighthearted smile. 'Why do I always attract the weirdos?' Derick asked himself before quickly remembering his goal, get out with out no one noticing. But then again, Quinn is going to probably rat on him.
Derick sighed softly and started to get ready for the day, in a sad manner. 'Why did I have to be here? Why couldn't I die with my mother? Why IS THERE A FUCKING MONSTER?!' those questions were in his head as he got ready for the day. A few hours later, Derick was in his room. Planning out an escape plan, to escape once and for all. Until he heard soft knocking on the door, "WHO dares knock on thy door at this hour?" he asked in a loud and stern tone, even though he is trying very hard not to laugh at what he said.If he was going to be miserable here, he might as well have a little fun while he is at it. "Lord Theo, who came from the seven seas. Thy has been quested to ask why have thou has been in this prison for this long." Theo said in a joking tone, clearly having fun with this even if Derick couldn't see him. "Cuz I can, now leave me alone." Derick said without hesitation, he didn't care if Theo was having fun, that made it worse. He was having sibling bonding! And he couldn't get attached to these people, these people are just pitying him. They don't love him, they don't want him. They just want to be looked on as good, Derick thought.
And with that Theo moved from the door, he didn't push Derick or anything. Which made Derick feel a bit of guilt but then quickly toughen up because he has to get vengeance for his mother and can't afford to waste time, considering time is limited. And he then realized he wouldn't be able to go out today because his mother want them to bond without her help, so if he leave they will snitch on him.This whole day would be a waste.
