Just a quick authors note, OKAY SO IM REALLY SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE SONNER, It's not cause I wasn't done I was just too lazy to revise it. Also, I wanted to add in different POVs so I'm really sorry if it's annoying though I don't know if I want to actually do that yet though

I ran up the stairs and walked into my room, locking the door behind me. Honestly, how could Luther think that? I mean, it's not like any of us aren't capable of killing dad it's the why would we even do it in the first place.

I stared up at the star stickers on my ceiling recognizing my favorite constellations

Flashback 18 years ago:

On our most recent store trip, I bought a pack of those glow in the dark star stickers.

As soon as we got home I tore open the package and dumped it out. 100 holographic stars in all different sizes spread over the surface of my desk.

I excitedly dragged my desk chair to the middle of my room and stood on it. I stared at the ceiling with a few of the stars in the palm of my hand. Where should I put them

I got down from the chair and walked down the hall to Five's room.

"Five?" I called out as I knocked on the door before opening it

Five sat on his bed reading a book "How may I help you?" he said, not looking up

I glanced at the title of the book he was reading

'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'

"I bought some glow in the dark stars to put on my ceiling. Since you're into space I was wondering if you wanted to help me"

"I thought we could arrange them into different constellations" I added

He paused for a moment before saying "Sure why not" he placed a bookmark in his book and set it on his bedside table.

He walked over to his bookshelf and motioned for me to come. I stood next to him as he looked through his bookshelf handing me a few books and papers. I looked at the small laminated chart he had just handed to me, constellations covered the entire page with small words at the top that read 'The Northern Night Sky for beginners'

He turned and walked out of his room. I followed him into my room. "You can put those down" he gestured to the stuff I was holding

I set the stuff I had been carrying on my bed and walked over to him

"What do we do first?" I asked

"Well, is there any specific constellations you want to do?"

I shook my head

"Okay" he sighed and went to pick up a book He flipped through the pages before stopping and showing me a constellation "How about this one"

"Lyra?" I read from the top of the page "What does that mean?"

"Lyra is the lyre, or harp of that's easier" he paused "Your name is Aria, in Italian it means air or melody to be more specific. I figured you would be interested in that constellation since it has relation to your name"

"Wow. that's actually really cool."

"What other constellation ideas do you have?" I asked excitedly

"We could do libra since it's our zodiac sign I guess"

"Okay, we need one for you though"

"What?"
