The opposite of silence [EDITING]

((Elli in media))
Eli

White?
Ugh.... White...
too bright

The light shines through my closed eyelids, I groan and pull myself to my feet, this was all to familiar...
The walk was a long and painful one as I could feel my skin reattaching itself and healing.

Now, your probably asking, why do you live with a bunch of crazy sadistic girls? I don't really have a choice here, Franki has raised me since I can remember, and the others? They've made their way into our lives through events.
I dunno. But I love them

I can finally see the door I've been walking for, the door back to reality. How many times I've wished for it to be normal through that door...
I reach for the brass handle and slowly twist it, the door slides open with ease, the 'Fam' welcome me home from death.
"Eli!" The fairy hovers in front of me, her bright wings almost mocking the white room I had returned from. "I need you to get Kali for me"
I walk around Elli and slump myself on the couch, not bothering with any of my surroundings due to my exhaustion. I begin talking to myself "oh, hey Eli, glad your back from the dead. Please, sit down, put your feet up" I start. "oh thanks guys, I think I might" I nod, responding to my first remark. "cup of tea Eli?"   "oh, no thanks. I'm quite satisfied with GETING MY FUCKING ARMS RIPPED OFF AND MY BODY SLICED LIKE CHRISTMAS HAM!!!" I shout my last reply quite angrily
"Eli, we don't even celebrate Christmas" Franki stands beside me,
"what's Christmas?" Elli asks, pouncing in front of me, the dog following her,
"it's where a fat pedophile judges you and gives you gifts depending on how good you are" I flap my hand back and forth, not even bothering to show emotion. Dying drains you.
" ooh ooh ooh!!" Elli shouts, bouncing up and down " I want that!! I want a fat pedo...." She pauses, absorbing the word. " what's a pedo-file?" She asks,
"a pedophile is an old person very interested in someone younger" Franki sits down beside me, she tries her best to keep the child innocent
"so.... Like you with Eli? Your a pedophile Franki?" Elli didn't have to ask, she understood perfectly.
Franki's face grew angry, but Elli stayed patient and happy.
"listen here you little shhhhhhhh..." Franki couldn't finish the word, she knew the moment she swore at Elli, she wouldn't hear the end of it. "Eli is old enough to be with any one he likes. As long as it's not you" she had to stop herself from hurting the innocent fairy.
"whyyyy???" Elli didn't have to ask anymore questions, she's not dumb.

~flashback~

   "why would you invite him? Why?!" Franki furiously bangs her hands on the table, I lift my cup of tea off the table and look at her hands
"he's really cool" I look into Franki's eyes, they're glowing.
Fuck
"That's exactly why I didn't want him here? Do you know what happens?" She got closer, I could feel her breath on my nose, her aroma filled me as I breathed in, she smells like cinnamon rolls. Always has.
" Eli!" She snaps at me, her fangs now showing, I glance at them, then back to her red eye.
"balloons?" I shrug, completely forgetting what she was on about. Her palm met my face pretty quickly, the sting lasted long after she slapped me. It's as if I could still feel her hand there.
Most likely left an imprint
"why don't we bring new people into this house Eli?" She asks me again, as if I didn't understand the first time, I sigh and rest my head on my hand I had propped up on the table.
"we don't bring new people into the house because our house is cursed" I role my eyes.
"and what happens?" She almost sounds like she's threatening me, then again, when doesn't she?
"we get a new one" it's almost like I'm getting quizzed.
"and after 16 years, you'd think you would learn" she pushes the table into my gut harshly and turns around.
"you deal with this one" she points to the door,
The door opens slowly and a small blonde girl pops her head through.
Shit, Franki's timing is perfect.

The girl shows herself fully, a smile grows across my face and I breathe in happily, ready to pounce on the girl.
Franki turns to me and glares. "you touch her and you're dead"
My happy breath quickly turned into a sad exhale. Franki moves around me and pulls up a chair beside me, sitting down, she motions for the girl to sit with us.
The girl looks around then back at the table with Franki and I. She smiles shyly and takes a seat,
"hey!" I beam at her, she just looks at me wide eyed. "I'm Eli, and this is Franki" I introduce both of us pretty quickly. The girl gasps and points to me. "what's your name?" I ask,
the girl gasps again and points to me, "Eli?" I question, she shakes her head and points to herself, I raise an eyebrow.

Suddenly this girl starts making crazy hand gestures, throwing her hands around and fluttering her fingers about. I lean over to Franki,
"remind me again, why I'm doing this?" I whisper. Franki sighs loudly.
" you done this" she's keeping a close eye on the new girl, then sits back once the girl stops flapping about like a maniac.
"your name is Elli Payne, you're a fairy from the small village in the east. You were sent here by the queen to find the one you long for" Franki spoke in monotone. I lean away from her and blink,
"you got all of that from a flapping child?" I almost whisper.
"fairy's talk with their wings, so it's only natural for them to know other unspoken languages" Franki doesn't look at me, just at Elli.
"and what language was that? Fucktard?!" Everything Franki just said didn't sound real,
it's natural for me to react like a complete sarcastic douche-nozzle.

Ahh young Eli

"she was signing banshee" Franki closes her eyes,
"the wailing spirit thing?" I raise an eyebrow, Franki has gone completely insane. Elli starts flapping her arms again, then whacks her head on the table, Franki and I scoot back in our chairs,
"your correct Elli" Franki nods and turns to me, "banshee's only wail to defend themselves. They have a language of their own when it comes to communicating"
I blink at the two girls, "if I can't have her, then I'm out" I stand up, pushing the chair in and start to walk away,
"she says you're her older brother" Franki almost groans,
I turn on my heals to look at this blonde girl. I examine her closely, then squint. "fuck off" I laugh, suddenly my head was cut clean off, I could see my body fall to the floor as my head rolls along the floor.
"you swear once more at her and I will make sure you can't speak again" Franki kicks me hard down the hallway. I don't remember even getting to the end.

~end~

Fairies are pure beings that, if impure they turn into pixies, the evil little shits.
Only one person has ever sworn at her.
"Brodie!!" Elli shouts, flinging her arms in the air, "i just want Brodie" she made herself clear. I nod and groan,
"I know" I sigh. She's obsessed with him, he's taught her everything she knows. He's done a good job to be very honest.
Better than most
