The Boy in The Sky

Chapter Four

Roman's POV

I went through my normal school day and then went home. I walked through the front door and I am embraced by my little sister Abby. That rarely ever happens. It's usually one of the others.

"Ro-ro!" she shouts my nickname in delight.

I laughed,"Hey Abs." Abby is the only sibling I'm close to. My other ones, Dominic, Sarah, Jake and Maria, hate me. I am the second oldest of the six of us. Maria is the oldest, after me it goes Sarah then Dominic, next is Jake and finally Abby. I tried to get along with the others but they hated my energetic personality. I attempted to bond with them but it never ended well. Abby loved me though. She loved playing with me when I was younger. Abby did crafts and all sorts of things with me. She actually got me into the whole drama thing.

"How was your day Ro-ro?" Abby asked backing away from me.

"It was good Abs," I replied,"Where's dad?"

"Getting ready for hunting season," She tells me.

"Already?" I said. Our dad is a hunter. He tracks down Avians. They are angel like people from what dad says. I've seen a few wings he brings back. Vibrant blues, yellows and purples are the only colored feathers I've seen so far. I wonder what he'll bring back next time. "Can I go see him?" I asked my little sis.

"I think so?" she replied asking a question to herself.

"Thanks," I smiled and I headed upstairs to my dad's hunting room. I walked in to see dad placing a special gun into a case. "Dad?"

He turned around and spotted me,"Oh, hey Roman. How was school?"

"Good."

Dad nodded,"So what ya doing up here?"

"Um I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Hunting."

I watched as dad stiffened and turned to me. "What did you say?"

"I wanted to talk to you about hunting," I repeated strongly.

"You? You want to learn about hunting," he laughed,"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"Come 'ere boy," he opened his arm and I sit next to him. Dad wraped his arms around my shoulders,"Look, Roman. If you want to learn how to hunt, why don't you come with me?"

My eyes widen. Dad has NEVER asked me to go on a hunting trip with him,"Ah, sure?" I said.

"Great. I'll start teaching ya some skills and tricks before the hunt starts in a few months,"

"Okay!" I smiled. This day got better in so many ways.

"Um dad? I can still get stuff for the school dance after I hunt right?"

"Sure as long as you don't let the two interfere you should be good," he told me.

Good. I talked to Virgil today, I got greeted by Abby instead of my other siblings. Things are going good today. 

Okay that is all I have for now. I hope this gives you and idea about Roman's past!

Love y'all
