Only If you swear...

Chapter Eleven

Just a quick note ~ All mythical creatures mentioned are from Greek Mythology. BASICALLY, THE SEA MONSTER IS NOT MY ORIGINAL NAME ~ Thanks.

Before she read the list I decided to inquire of our brother Jordon, "Why was father so interested in him?" Cass sighed, "Always doing something stupid. Oh, that's Jordon for you, father takes more care of the youngest and of the boys," He seemed to have made that much clear. "Cass, how old is Jordon?" She thought for a moment before answering, "Twenty four," her eyes flickered as she spoke, "So, If there are boys younger than Jordon, why is he so bothered by him?" She looked up to face me, "You see, Jordon is, what humans would call a soldier, what we would call a death-wisher," Ohhhhh. "There are wars in hell? It seems so peaceful," Cass shook her head, "No, there isn't. He goes to Earth and deals with their wars, but occasionally he breaks a few bones, nothing much though." Nothing much? Broken bones? Well, no in my eternity of Hell was I going to Earth to be a death-wisher, "He decides who wins and who loses, it's all based upon his perspective, he's really quite fair though. You shouldn't get into an argument with him, father shall always take his side. He's really quite proud of his son, you see," I nodded again, getting easily bored of hearing of Jordon's 'Victories' on Earth, I decided to bring up the list once more, "Read the list out, Cass!" She rolled her eyes but obliged, "Slavery Jobs - Look after the twins for half the current hour, clean room 463, prepare dinner for the arrival of my sons, feed the Charybdis and play with the twins. Complete these tasks in any order," Once she had finished I looked at her, "The twins? Which ones? And the Charybdis? What on Earth is that? Room 463?" Cass waved her hand dismissively. "Our rooms are sorted by number, room 463 is your room, the twins are Draconia and Akantha, the whole family is coming to dinner at the same time tonight, so it's going to be hectic, but we have more than an hour now, you see when father takes on a deal he expands the time range, so now we have about ten hours, instead of one," Wonderful. "So, what should we start with?" I asked her, as she folded the list into her pocket. "Um, well we should probably feed the Charybdis, which is a sea monster, it lives in the basement." She said answering my puzzled look. "Oh, so how are we supposed to feed it without it eating us?" Cass' eyes widened "Ummm, so basically I'm going to feed it, and you're going to sort out your room, okay? I'll take you up there, but I think it's best I do this alone, it's used to seeing me, and also it eats human, so that might be a bit uncomfortable for you," I immediately nodded, "Sure, let's go upstairs then," Cass grabbed me by the arm and led me into the room the second floor as she began to speak "Lucky, The youngest get the rooms closer to the ground floor, I have to walk up 20 staircases to get to my room," I smiled, "I won't be too lucky for long if we have any more brothers or sisters." Cass laughed and smiled warmly "Oh, trust me we will." I knew she wasn't lying. It just wouldn't happen. We would always have hundreds of siblings. I smiled as she pushed the door open, "Okay, so all you have to do is tidy up, place the books in order on the shelves, fold the bedsheets and clothes, sort them into the wardrobe," Cass closed the door, without touching it, with a flick of her hand. 

Wonderful. Great. Fantastic. "Okay, where to start?" I said to myself, I gazed around the room, It was a pale purple and grey colour, The wardrobe was grey and the bedsheets were pale purple, and the windows were grey, but clear to see out of. There was a pile of books scattered across the fluffy purple carpet, and the pillows lay without cases on the bed. Time to get started. I tried to reach the shelves to put the books on the shelves, but they were way too high for me to reach. So in annoyance, I flicked my hand at the book and it moved onto the shelf. Cool. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I was going to have a lot of fun learning spells and curses. A lot of fun. Because, as my mother would say, "Today is the first day, of the rest of your life,"
