Christian's POV

"See ya" I call out to Isaiah as he walks down my driveway. Ali had fallen asleep about an hour ago and I can now say that I don't hate Isaiah anymore. I sigh and return to the living room. I slide my arms beneath Ali and she wraps hers around my neck. Once we get to our room I remove my pants and place both of us into the bed. I fall asleep with Ali's head resting on my chest.

....Morning.....

Half awake I search the bed for Ali and when I don't find her I spring into action. After hearing laughter downstairs I shove my hand through my hair and start for the stairs. The children notice me first and escape their parents arms to attack me. Deciding to be playful, I screech like a girl and run behind my mom, sort of using her as a shield. This earns laughter from almost everyone in the room and an "I'm too old for this" from my mom.

The kids try to run around my mom but I would just move her so she's blocking their path. After awhile my mom sighs and runs away so I hide behind Ali. Shocked, she drops the spatula and knocks over the pancake batter so it spills on the stove, instantly burning. The alarm goes off and the children run to their parents who are too busy laughing to calm the scared children down. Ali smacks me on the chest but I can tell she's fighting the laughter, too.

My mom, who had excused herself earlier, returns and throws a pair of pants at me before throwing a BB gun to my brother. I slip my pants on before giving her a questioning glance. I then take the BB gun from his hands. I aim it at him and he flinches, putting his hands up to protect his face. I laugh before aiming it at my real target; the smoke alarm. I shoot it twice and it finally stops blaring. I then empty the gun and hand it to my brother.

Suddenly a cool substance is dropped on my head and I freeze as I trickles down my back. I scrape the bater of my back and fling it towards Ali but I miss hitting her brother. Which causes a full blown food fight, getting to the point of emptying my fridge and cupboards. After we run out of food someone comes up with the idea of a paintball fight.

Aliyah's POV

I stand in front of my family with my war paint on and a paintball gun in hand. Me and my siblings used to play this game all the time and we even have special outfits for it, which I'm wearing now. It's kinda like the outfit Black Widow wears in The Avengers. Also when we make teams we have special colored bandanas. It's pretty sick.

"Okay!" I greet everyone once they arrive. "Jordan, give me a hand?" I wait for Jordan to make his way through the crowd. "The object of the game is simple; get the other team's flag with out being hit. But there are certain places you can shoot the person. Put your helmet on Jordan." He gives me a 'better not try anything' look.

I aim my gun at him. "Like here" I shoot Jordan in the chest. "And" I shoot him in the leg, foot, and arm. "if you shoot the person anywhere else you just get yourself out." I pause to jump out of Jordan's reach as he finally recovers from the shots. "Each team has a specific color paint." I place my helmet on my head. "Spread out. Strategize. The game starts in 5 minutes."

Everyone scatters and my team reassembles at the small creek that runs through the woods behind my parents' house. Since we had so many people in our joined family, we have three teams. The three teams have 13 people each.

My team consists of Sebastian- Christian's brother, Daniela- Christian's sister, Charlotte- my sister, Mia- my bitch, Isaiah, Cassandra- my other bitch, Ethan- my brother, Nathan- my brother, Anthony- Christian's third, Jace- Nathan's beta, my dad, Jordan, and Christopher and Alexander.

"To start with Sebster and Chris will take out the guys on the left side of the blue team. Xander and Jace will take out the right. Isaiah and Ethan will go for the left of the red team. Anthony and Jordan will go to the right. The rest of us will spread out and position ourselves in trees throughout our side. We'll be the offense." After I tell everyone the plan they nod and scatter. I climb a tall oak about 10 feet from our flag.

An alarm rings out announcing the beginning of the round and yells immediately ring out as, I hope, my teammates are taking the other teams down. I rest the paintball gun on my knee and glance around me.

After awhile of silence, a twig snaps and I train my scope into that direction. Camila, my niece, was standing there looking worried. After scanning the woods I decide it isn't a trap and slowly climb down the tree to approach the toddler.

"What's up buttercup?" I whisper to her to make sure I'm not heard. She pouts and steps towards me so she's on my lap.

"I want to play too!" I hush her and quickly listen into the woods, but there's nothing there. No one heard us.

"You can help me." I stand her up and grab her hand. I lead her over to the flag. "this is what you have to do. I want you to walk over there" I point in the direction of the last place I had seen a flash of red. "and distract the red and blue people. I'll do the rest okay?" She nods eagerly and scampers off to the woods and after calling Cassy closer I follow. I meet back up with her in a clearing. She's sitting on a log swinging her feet as she giggles at her father. I train my sights and a paint peeler finds it's way onto his back. he let's out a frustrated grunt when he spots me and ruffles his daughter's hair as she skips to my side.

I wave as he walks away and high five my little companion. I lead her in another direction. She distracts another target and I aim. Before I pull the trigger a hand is placed over my mouth and I'm being dragged backwards.
