Damien's POV
We sat around a table and had this buffet for breakfast. It seemed fairly familiar.
"Hey isn't this like the time when we went to your summer house Aly?" I ask.
"Yeah. We left all the food on the table so I bet the animals have already raided the place. I don't own it though, my Aunt Keeva did," Aly remembers.
"Those were the days when stripper was a true stripper," Cleo smiles.
"Shut up," Alagretto starts eating.
Soon we finish eating and just sit around. I turned on the tv, but nothing good was on. The radio was no help, because there was barely any signal, due to some power outages.
"I'm booooooooooored," I moan, lying upside down on the couch.
"And?" Dimitri was reading a book.
"I'm boooooored," I whine. "Aly, do something funny."
"I'll show you what's funny," Aly glares at me. She grabs an apple off the counter and shoves it in my mouth whole. I flop like a fish gagging. Aly laughs at me. Finally I spit it out.
"What the hell!" I gasp.
"You said do something funny. You flopping like a fish was funny to me," Aly smiles. I glare at her.
"You know what? Let's go for a walk," Riza options.
"Sure," Dimitri puts the book down.
"As long as the fan girls are gone, I'm good," Alagretto says.
"Count me in," Aly smiles.
"Cleo wants to go!" Cleo runs to the door.
"Fine," I sigh.
We walk out the hotel and go into the forest nearby. The trees were huge and the sun shined brightly in my eyes.
"That hurts," I shield my eyes from the sun.
"I used to hike everyday when I lived at home," Aly takes in a huge breath of air.
"Seems like forever since we've been in the forest peacefully," Riza mutters.
"Oh shwiney!" Cleo runs toward the moss that glimmered in the sky. But she stopped, like she was in a trance.
"Cleo?" I ask.
"Cleo can't move," Cleo mutters.
"What do you mean you can't move?" Dimitri walks toward her. He stops too.
"CLEO CAN'T MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cleo shouts, turning this way and that. Her feet stayed planted on the ground.
"Looks like we are all stuck," Alagretto sighs. I couldn't move my feet either. But Riza and Aly could still move.
"How come you aren't affected?" I ask.
"Dunno," Riza replies. We hear crying in the distance. Aly and Riza take off running. I can still see them in the distance. There was a little girl crying in the fields. She looked about five.
Riza and Aly came back like 30 minutes later, Aly holding the girls hand, Riza looking very annoyed.
"Cleo can move again!!!!!!!" Cleo yells happily.
I move my leags. They were fine now.
"Who's this girl?" Alagretto gets close to the little girl. The girl shyly backs up and hides behind Aly's legs.
"Don't be shy. Tell them your name," Aly soothes the girl.
"My name is Kira. It's pronounced Key-ra," the girl smiles. "And this is my mommy." She points to Aly. We gasp.
"She's not your mommy," Riza says annoyed.
"Yeah she is! Right, mommy?" Kira smiles at Aly. Aly panics.
"Well..." Aly looks at the sky. Kira looks at Aly with puppy dog eyes. Aly panics some more.
"Okay, okay!" Aly looks away.
"She's not your mother," Riza glares.
"You should shut up!" Kira motions her hands upward and the trees shoot out vines to strangle Riza. Riza deflets them with fire and burns them to a crisp.
"You should think twice before attacking her," I say.
"Hmmph. You are my idiot brother," Kira looks at me.
"Idiot?" I ask.
"In other words moron," Cleo says. Kira looks at Cleo.
"I like you. You are my favorite sister," Kira says.
"Yay! Cleo is happy!" Cleo smiles.
"You are my handsome brother," Kira looks at Dimitri.
"Umm..." Alagretto sighs.
"You are...my boyfriend!" Kira hugs Alagretto.
"I'm gonna kill you," Riza mumbles.
"You are the witch sister who I hate!" Kira sticks her tongue out at Riza. Riza glares at her.
"Well, she clearly is one of us so we should take her in," Aly smiles, even though it wasn't winning Riza over.
"Where is your family?" I ask.
"I don't have one. They died in car accident," Kira smiles and hugs Aly, seriously not letting go.
"How old are you?" Cleo asks smiling.
"Five!" Kira grins holding up her hand.
"Fine...we can keep her," Riza sighs.
"Yay!" Kira and Cleo say at the same time.
Great! Another kid? And she was five? She hangs over Aly, saying that Aly is her mother. And somehow we are her new family? Great...that's just great.
