Under The Shadows

A New Bond

I breathe as relief washes over me. Aiden is just three months smaller than me, they say. I feel he is much older though. I don't know why. He has that tall, built up figure, with blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He is a bit tanned than I am, despite the fact that I was from Boston and he had been in the coldest area for so long. Fake tan could be possible.

Like mom and Matthew, I see that each features of his is distinct and highlighted as well. He must be so popular among girls in the school. His body, hair, even his teeth has those sharp canines. May be this was common then? Gene thing may be? But if that's a gene thing, why do they look like Greek gods sculpted straight from marbles and why do I get none of it?

I am starting to feel threatened for my beauty!! Just kidding. Whatever!

He has that warm smile every time he looks at me, giving a vibe of comfort. I feel we will get along. Okay, what is the glow thing in every one's eye here?

As I gaze down towards his clothing, he has dressed up as a fashion designer's son would, giving a bad boy vibe. A black leather jacket with black v-neck t-shirt which is hugging his body perfectly showing all the hard muscles he has along with his broad chest. He has black tight pants on, with black boots. Okay so he prefers black. But, wont that be cold for this weather? May be he is habituated!

He looks at me with concern in his eyes, "I can drop you to school, that is if you want to, though!"

"I would love to. Thanks" I say before he would change his mind! I would rather walk alone in the snow and get lost in the woods behind the house than let Matthew drive me school!

"Okay then. Get ready. Wear something really warm though. Its going to be too cold. I am down at the breakfast table! Be down in ten minutes?" he says and in a fraction of time, he is gone.

"Okay" as I am about to move towards my room,

"Kiara, here. These are some clothes you might need. Get dressed fast and come down." Mom says.

"Yeah sure. Thanks." I say as I nod my head.

I grab whatever the cloth there was in the pile that mom gave and I go for shower. After the shower, I am dressed in a brown sweater that hugs my body in a perfect manner with a faded jeans and a black boots with a bit of heels on them. I brush my hair and leave it in its natural waves and apply eye liner and mascara in my eyes. After that I apply some lip gloss and go to my room and grab that black hoodie. It is damn cold. Okay I need to go shopping real soon.

I hear engine roaring up. Shit! Did he leave me with Matthew?? I hurry down to kitchen.

As I near the kitchen, I can smell the eggs and coffee which makes my stomach grumble with hunger. Mom is gone. And Matthew is looking at me from the corner of his eyes and a smile playing on his lips. He is so different than my dad, so animalistic.

"Hey" I call out Aiden.

"Grab the egg and toast. I have the coffee in the carrier. We can eat as we go. Come" he says.

"Oh..ok. Sure. Yeah."

As we move towards his black Audi (Oh wow, and there I was cycling to my school in Boston!), "I am sorry" he says.

"Umm...for what?"

"I saw what happened up in your room!"

"Oh."

"But, I promise I wont let anything happen from now onwards! There are lots of things you don't know Kiara. But if anything goes wrong, just inform me okay?"

I feel something warm blooming up in my heart. I have a family. A brother.

"It's okay Aiden. And thank you."

He hugs me. It was awkward but felt good. I have a brother.

"Now let me take you to your new school. "
