Chase as been mission training Kalinth and I for 5 weeks now. There's talk about an assassin coming back from a 2 year mission. Chase tried convincing me to wear a dress in which my response was to tear up the dress with a sword. Once Chase realized that I don't like dresses, he let me wear an assassin-in-training uniform.

We went to the hall. Chase, Kalinth and I were sitting in towards the back. Daniel walked to the front.
" Ladies and gentlemen, I have news. My closest friend has returned from his mission. Please welcome Xavier! " Daniel said. I heard Chase gasp. I looked at him.
" It's good to be back...alive " I heard and look back to the front to see the person named Xavier is speaking. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of him. " Now my two year mission was a lot to handle. From tracking to running then planning then the kill " Xavier said. There's something about him but I can't put my finger on it. " Now I'm pretty sure that... " Xavier said but stop when he noticed me looking at  him. We made eye contact. Next minute I know, Daniel comes to us.
" Get her and him out of here " Daniel told Chase " Fine " Chase said a bit harshly. Chase picked Kalinth and I up then walked out the hall. But as door closed behind us I heard Xavier say " No, wait!! ".

Once we reached our room, Kalinth had already fallen asleep in Chase's arm. I tried telling Chase that I could walk on my own but he still carried me inside our room. When Chase put me down, he walked to Kalinth's bed and put him on the bed with the blanket over him. Chase turn to me. " Nap time " Chase said " But, but, but...I have nothing " I said " You're still growing so nap time. Get in bed " Chase said. I sighed. I knew he was right. I climbed in bed and dozed off to sleep.

I wake up to a knock on the door but ignored it and tried falling back asleep. It was no good so I just stayed in bed until Chase wakes Kalinth and I up. Another knock on the door. I heard Chase get up from his bed and answer the door. " What do you want...Oh, uh, hi Xavier. What are you doing here?? "  I heard Chase say. By now I got curious so I got out of bed. I soon grabbed onto Chase's right leg.
" You're still supposed to be asleep little one " Chase said. I giggled.
" Umm...to answer your question Chase, I wanted to come by and meet your kids " Xavier said. I stopped giggling. Chase looked at Xavier. " They are not my kids. I just took them in when I got back from my mission three years ago. I didn't like how Daniel was training them. I'm like their older brother. I stiffened when Chase said older brother and I guess Chase noticed because he said " Go wake your brother ".

I went to go wake up Kalinth. " Wake up! wake up!  Nap time is over! " I yelled while jumping on the bed. Kalinth woke up startled. I laughed. When I got back to the door I saw Xavier walking away.
