We blew through a decent amount at Hot Topic and Spencers, and definitely Game Stop. We stuffed all the new things in the trunk and drove back to his appartment. It was rather shabby for a guy with cash...
"I'll only be a minute. This is a place I come to get away from the woods." He said as he jogged off inside. I sat in the car for a bit before Jack jumped out and into the backseat.
"Well he sucks at being a dad don't he?" Jack grumbled.
Jason popped out too.
"At least he got her nice things." Jason giggled akwardly.
I gave them a weak smile.
"So... what do you guys think this guy is really like?"
Jack gave a almost snobby look, "He better not be a complete moron... he seems very fake..."
Jason just shruged. We heard the door to the appartment open and close and the boys disappeared in a puff of black and purple smoke. Mr. Depp climbed into the car, shifted gears, and we were moving further and further from town as the minutes ticked by.

It was about 9:00 p.m. when we got to the gates of the woods. He clicked a button on the dashboard and the gates opened with an eerie creak. He slowly started driving forward, the dirt and gravel grinding under the wheels. When we got past the gates they closed again and he turned on the high beams to light the path. This was a rather odd drive way... didn't look well tended to...
"I apologize for how the grounds look at the moment... our groundskeeprs are off for the rest of the month... religious thing I guess."
Oh. That explains it.
We continued down the path and turned into a clearing where sat a nice house. We weren't too deep in the woods so if this guy is crazy I can still get away. His phone buzzed from the cup holder in between us, he hesitated a bit but answered.
"Hello?"
A voice was heard on the other end but I couldn't make out the words.
"Y-yes... o-okay... oh, yes I can come in. I have the papers here Mr. Forest. Ok, I gotta drop off my daughter first, I'll have my wife take care of her while I'm gone sir.... yes I know how you feel about children being neglected. Ok, I'll be in by 10. Ok, have a nice night sir. Enjoy your game."
He clicked off and sighed. He turned to me a gave an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry I can't help settle you in tonight, Cheshire. My boss, Mr. Forest just called and wants me to fill out some extra papers for the next meeting. My wife and your new siblings will help settle you. I'll help you with your things." He climbed out of the car carrying a couple things he grabbed from the backseat. I grabbed my book bag, a couple hot topic bags, my present box and Jack's home. I fallowed him up the stone path to the stone manor. He pushed the door open and I fallowed him into what appeared to be a living room.
A blonde boy in a green hoodie sat in front of the Tv on a PlayStation playing GTA. He was yelling at the boy beside him in a yellow jacket and messy black hair.
I set my things down where Mr. Depp had and stared at the boys for a moment. Mr. Depp smiled a little and clicked off the TV.
"Boys, I'd like you to meet your new sister."
The two turned and their rather gorgeous features surprised me. Blondie had the most beautiful big blue eyes I've ever laid eyes on and a rather vexing smirk. The brunette had rather thick sideburns but it complemented his hallowed cheeks, his eyes were a dark brown but it looked like he hasn't slept in a while...
"Cheshire, these are your new brothers. Ben," he gestured to the blonde who winked at me, "and Tim." Tim gave a shy wave and a sweet smile. I nodded to them and waved a bit. "Boys, this is Cheshire. She is your new sister. I have to leave soon so if you would help her get settled in that would be wonderful, and... tell Natalie to help your mother...". Mr. Depp smiled at his boys and gestured for me to fallow him past the stairs into a large kitchen where beautiful humming could be heard. At the skink was a pale woman with long black hair. She wore a tight fit dress and almost looked like a pin up girl.
"Jane? Love, I'm home. I brought our new daughter too." Jane stopped humming and wiped her hands clean before turning around. She was doused in pearls, her lips were plump and red, her features were cutting edge beauty...
"Hello, Danny." She smiled sweetly. She looked to me and opened her arms. I cocked my head a bit, "Um...?"
"It's called a hug, dear..." her smile didn't break surprisingly.
"O-okay..." I stepped forward and let her embrace me. I feel so fucking akward...
She let me go and stepped back edmiring my face in awe.
"Her eyes are so beautiful..." she sighed.
"Th-thank you?" I stuttered. A thud came from upstairs and a boy tumbled down the staircase.
"TOBY I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU MESS WITH MY STUFF AGAIN I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE!" a girl shrieked. A twitchy pale boy ran in and hid behind Mrs. Depp.
"Toby, what did you do?"
"N-nothing mom... I t-t-tried to get my ho-hoodie back from N-N-Nat but she hit me..." he was twitching like mad. Some sort of syndrome I'm guessing?
A girl with bouncey brown curls and a green eye stormed in, her other eye being covered by a medical eye patch.
"Natalie... we told you not to steal his stuff..." Jane scolded her daughter.
"I didn't steal anything! It was my hoodie!"
"No it wasnt. U-U-Uncle T gave it to m-me." Toby chimed in
Mrs.Depp' s face got red really fast. "THATS ENOUGH. NATALIE GO GET THE DAMNED HOODIE AND STOP STEALING TOBY'S THINGS!" she hollered.
Natalie shut up but glared at her mother... she stood for a second then stomped off. A slam was heard as Natalie locked herself in her room.
"I'm sorry about her... she's the most difficult one..." Mrs. Depp looked disappointed
"It's fine... there was worse at the orphanage..." I said quietly.
"Well Toby, since your here you may as well meet your sister. This is Cheshire. Cheshire this is our son Toby." Toby twitched but smiled shyly at me.
"Hi." I waved back a little. God... all the boys here are kinda cute...
Toby blushed and looked down. "I-I'm sorry i s-seem weird..." he grumbled.
"It's ok Toby. If it makes you feel any better I'm pretty freakish too." I let him look at my eyes and I smiled widely at him, feeling the odd curl on the edges of my lips. He stared fascinated, twitching now and then.

after I met the whole family I settled in my room. It was fairly small a bed,dresser, and a desk. Simple grey color for the walls, the hardwood floor was stained black. Silver details painting the walls looking like curling ivy. There was a large walk in closet towards the door. Ben and Toby helped me move in. Toby was rather shy and quiet, wereas Ben was rather perverted and rude. The Depps now had 6 children. Toby, Tim, Ben, Natalie, a little girl named Sally, and myself Cheshire. We were all freakish in own ways. Toby suffers from Tourette syndrome and cant feel physical pain, along with his bipolar disorder. Tim's suffers from social anxiety and possibly selective mutism, also a possible schizophrenic. Sally's problem is unknown to me yet Natalie suffers from PTSD and is missing one of her eyes. I have a weird type of deformity in my face where I can curl my lips and In a weird way and then my eyes are two different colors not to mention my anxiety depression and ADHD, as a kid I did suffer from something called Alice in Wonderland syndrome. In way I still kind of do, I still hallucinate sometimes. Kind of funny considering my name is Cheshire after the Cheshire Cat, and my birth mother's name being Alice.
My new mother isnt much better than her children. She suffers with PTSD and is holding her grudge against someone who hurt her long time ago, she didnt really talk about it dinner. Our fathers pretty normal by the standard he just suffers with paranoia.

I sat down in the living room with the two boys Ben and Toby, they're just playing some sort of Mario Kart game or something I wasn't really paying attention I was too busy reading half the time to pay attention... I don't really pay attention to others. I have a bad habbit of isolating myself... next thing I knew my new mother stood in front of me, "Can i call every one to the table? We have to prepare Cheshire before the boss gets here."
....what?
