Family (Prequel To: 13 Years Later)

Family

Raven POV

I sat in the living room beside my oldest daughter, Toren. Tora was in her room painting. Toriel, my middle adopted child, was in the living room trying to patch up the curtain. "What are we having for dinner?" Toren asked. "No idea, actually," I said. Tord came through the side door with a laundry basket in his arms. "Who's room you doing first?" I asked him. "I'm putting Tora's clothes up first." "Good luck getting through the room!" Toren shouted up the stairs after her father. I managed a small laugh through my sore throat.

A couple of seconds later there was a loud thud from upstairs. I heard a 'Fuck!' come from Tord. Toren comes down the stairs laughing. "I got the whole thing on video!" Toren said happily. I rolled my black eyes and stood up from the couch. Toren sat back onto the couch as I descended up the stairs. Tora stood in front of her bedroom door. "Daddy hoit 'imself," Tora said. "What did you do?" I asked. Tora holds up a zip block bag. "He slipped on dis," she said. Tord came out of the room. "I landed on my hip, young lady. You have no idea how much that hurt," Tord said, glaring at his youngest daughter. Tora tried to act all innocent but failed. Tord limped back downstairs past a smiling Toren. "That was histarical!" Toren said laughing. Toriel appeared beside Toren, scaring the crap out of her. "What happened to dad?" Toriel asked. "Don't worry! I have it on video! And please stop doing that," Toren said crossing her arms and leaning onto the stair rail. "Doing what?" Toriel asked her older sister. "Appearing when they don't know," Toren said looking at her younger sister. I chuckled and walked back downstairs to check on Tord.
