Scuro Red

2. Mayora

I was sitting on the small bed of the orphanage. The memories of that night remained in my brain. It has been a week since that night. I didn't really expect them to take me in. I know they won't.

I wrapped up my school work, the owner of the orphanage called me. I went towards her office but got a shock myself when I saw that biggie and Miss grey there. Everything happened in blink of an eye. She adopted me as soon as she came, the way owner quickly reacted to her, did she know who that people were? I guess yes or maybe not.

"Time to go home little Rebellious."

Miss grey said. During the whole driving, none of us spoke until Miss Grey.

"So your name is Mayora Le'Huere, orphan and a memory lost child? You are eleven?"

"I might consider that right information miss grey."

I said.

"I'm Crystal Hunter Sokolov. Not from an ordinary family."

"You are married?"

She frowned with a smile.

"How did you know?"

"Considering you have two surnames. Which one belongs to your husband?"

"Sokolov."

"I'll keep that in mind Mrs. Sokolov."

"I would appreciate if you go back to calling me Miss grey. That sounds much better."

She said. I simply nodded. Sokolov. Hunter. These two names sound prestigious. I should read about them as soon as I reach their home.

But I was wrong. The place where car stopped wasn't a home but a huge mansion. I did consider them rich but this place's imagination was out of my mind. The black gate opened and we were led to a big garden and a huge door. Behind that door, the mansion laid. The mansion from inside was in classic tones and old money. I followed that biggie and Miss grey until we reach I might think a dining room.

"How about we eat something and talk about the main topics?"

"As you say."

I lowly said. My luggage wasn't much, just a laptop which were donated to our orphanage. Few clothes and my schooling and some other little stuff.

"Sit."

The biggie said. The chair was thick and soft. I jumped and sat on the high chair and looked at them.

"Why did you adopt me Miss Grey?"

I said. The whole time I'm wondering why would they even adopt me, just because I could shut my mouth but they can easily kill me either given by how brutally they cut that arm off, I shouldn't have been surprised if they murder me as well.

"So straightforward Le'Huere."

Biggie said.

"And you are?"

"Duros Hunter."

"Siblings or relatives?"

"Sibs."

Miss grey said. Thy don't look much alike but both of their eyes are grey. The exact color of gun. Duros had a tattooed arm, skin white, black hair and a heavy beard. He had a body of a giant, but looked like he usually go to  gym a lot.

"We are a year apart, siblings from different fathers."

Different fathers? Interesting.

Duros said. That wasn't needed I guess but I could find something more about them.
