The Cade Legacy

Chapter Four

Theo hopped out of the Lamborghini, tugging the dogs out along with him, and as Savannah slipped out, she could see him greeting his brothers.

"Is this the mysterious Savannah Burke?" one of the brothers asked Theo with a grin.

Theo introduced them to her one by one.

Alexander Cade was the youngest, even younger than Savannah, at nine-years-old. He looked older, somehow, though he was about at Savannah's shoulder. His nickname was Alex. Alex had brown hair and bright blue eyes.

Theo was the second in the line, and he turned out to be twelve-years-old, Savannah's exact age. Savannah noted that he wasn't the only one in the Cade family that had golden eyes and black hair.

Rado Cade was also twelve, but younger than Theo by one month. He had golden hair and blue eyes, like Savannah, but his eyes were darker.

After Theo, Rado, and Alex, there was Ryan Cade, who had shady black hair and golden eyes like Theo. He was thirteen-years-old.

Then there was Luke Cade, who had a sparkling white smile, seemingly perfect brown hair, and blue eyes. He was fifteen-years-old, and towered over Savannah.

Finally, there was the oldest of the Cade brothers, Blake. Blake had Theo's black hair but with purple eyes. Blake was seventeen-years-old, and he seemed like a person who didn't like to talk.

After finally seeing Blake, Savannah jokingly said, "If I were you guys' sister, I'd feel bad! How many of you are there, seventeen?"

Blake smirked. "There are six of us," he replied.

Savannah instantly disliked Blake, but Rado, Theo, Alex, Ryan, and Luke seemed okay. "It was a joke." she snapped stiffly, turning to face away from Blake.

"I guess we're all escorting you to your room," Theo said, jogging over to Savannah and picking up Apollo and Nero's leash.

Rado quickly scooped up Kumo, and Ryan grabbed Titanium's leash.

Kumo and Titanium growled at these new people, but at Savannah's command, they stopped growling, though a low rumble still emanated from their throats.

Alex and Savannah walked together while Blake went off to admonish the chauffeur about parking the Lamborghini a little to the side of the white parking lines.

Inside the lobby of Hotel Grande, the air conditioning hummed cheerfully, and elevators were in one direction. The rest of the space included a counter, behind which people that must have been the receptionists sat, as well as a large assortment of soft couches, for people to wait on while the receptionists worked. A huge mass of glittering crystals and light bulbs and gold hung from the high roof, and the crystals caught the light and glowed rainbow.

Reaching the front desk, a pleasant-looking lady greeted them. "Hello, welcome to Hotel Grande. I believe you are the Cade boys, and the Burke girl?"

"Yes," All five boys chorused.

"Good," the lady said. "You guys are in room 7B, on the seventh floor. Should be easy to remember."

She handed them seven room cards, and they all trooped into the elevator.

The elevator was carpeted with a velvet-color, plushy, furry carpet, and it had subtle hints of jasmine and honey. The walls were lined with royal blue velvet, and the handrails against the walls were completely spotless and showed off a gold that wasn't too overbearing and gaudy in color. Above the gold handrails were mirrors, and Savannah could see her face mirrored in the elevator, a golden-haired, aquamarine-blue eyed girl staring back at her, her face devoid of emotion.

Pleasant music floated out through the speakers, muffling the already almost-silent sound of the air conditioning in the elevator.

After seven dings that Savannah counted, the doors slid open, and Savannah stepped out onto a marble floor, which she followed all the way, tracking it to room 7B.

She stepped inside - and gawked. It was a spacious living area, with a glass sliding door at one end that led to a balcony that had a hammock and a tall, leafy plant out on it.

A huge, overstuffed, plushy, furry pink couch was tucked into the corner, with a coffee table that held a bowl of fruit, with a TV in the wall.

There was a studying area, with an office chair, a lamp, and a desk with drawers.

There was also a cooking area, with a countertop that had a stove and a sink, as well as cabinets below the counter and above the counter.

A mini-fridge hummed in the corner near a positively massive long dining table, with many chairs and a light overhead.

There were two doors, and as Savannah stepped through one, she found herself in her bedroom. It had a long queen bed with silk sheets and soft, fluffy down pillows.

It made Savannah immediately want to dive into it, and the ground was thick, soft carpet.

A closet was in the corner, and long, wide windows stretched along one side of the bed, giving Savannah a breathtaking view of the busy Texas city below her.

On the other side of the bed was a nightstand, with a little lamp on it as well.

There was another door, which, after Savannah pulled it open, she found out was a bathroom.

The ground was white marble, and white marble made up the entirety of the counter on Savannah's left. There was a large, round sink in the counter, and there was a glass wall with a sliding door that was the mass of Savannah's shower.

The control panel for the shower was huge, with what must have been a million different buttons to change the water pressure, temperature, and several other things.

There was also a huge white bathtub, and a small divider hid the toilet from immediately being spotted.

Near the sink was a rack with large, clean, white, fluffy towels in it.

When Savannah turned around, all of the Cade boys were standing in the doorway, looking at her.

She blushed and said, "Why are you all just staring at me?"

Theo was the first to react, and he turned. "Come on, Savannah. I'll bring you shopping for new clothes. Don't worry, you don't have a budget."

"Hey, Theo," Alex said. "Why don't I take her? You seem like you don't really trust her."

"Well, duh," Theo said. "Why is she in Grandfather's will? I've never even met her! Have any of you?"

All the Cade boys beside Theo shook their head unanimously.

Theo said, "I want to keep an eye on her."

Savannah pretended to look hurt. "Well then, Alex, let's go shopping."

"It's fine, Alex," Ryan interrupted. "I'll take her."

Savannah blinked. "Well -"

Rado added, "I'll go with her too."

As Alex opened his mouth to talk again, Savannah interrupted. "Oh my gosh, guys! All I need is to go shopping!"

This allowed all the Cade boys to come to their senses, and all of them immediately shut their mouths.

"Why don't I just take her?" a voice from the door asked.

There, a woman that Savannah didn't know stood, leaning against the door frame. "Honestly, boys, I could hear you from the elevator!"

"Hello, Mom." Rado, Ryan, and Theo chorused. This woman, apparently Cyprus, Theo, Rado, and Ryan's mother, also had black hair and golden eyes.

Savannah nodded gratefully to Cyprus. "It's probably best."

And so, Cyprus and Savannah left, though Savannah could see as she left that the Cade boys began to argue.

"Watch my dogs!" Savannah shouted to them as the door swung shut behind Savannah and Cyprus.
