"They are late!" I whisper yelled, once again going over the notes I had written.

"No they aren't. Calm down," Zypher said, throwing an arm around my shoulder. Probably to stop me from pacing.

A soft knock had me jumping away from Zypher. I rushed to the door and flung it open. Outside stood two beings; one was much taller than me, the other was only maybe an inch above my height.

I ushered them inside, not caring that I had gotten two babysitters rather than the one I asked for. The shorter one looked nervous while the taller just looked amused.

"Okay! Which one of you is Sebastian?" I asked. The shorter one raised his hand. "Who are you?" The question was directed towards the taller, tan boy. 

"I am Achilles. Sebastian's friend. I'm here to help." Achilles gave me a grin which I didn't reciprocate.

"Are you also a mothshifter?" I asked as I held the notes out to Sebastian. He grabbed them quickly after sliding his large sweater sleeves off his hands.

"Yes. We live in the same colony," Achilles answered. I nodded.

"Okay. Everything you need is on those notes but just to make sure, I'm going to go over a few things," I said.

Sebastian and Achilles nodded.

"We'll start with Dion. He's a teenager. A little younger than you I believe. Don't bother him unless you have to. He'll be fine doing whatever he wants to do," I knew Dion wouldn't like strangers trying to talk to him. "Stormy is the second oldest. He is seven and won't want to be messed with much. He doesn't like new people. If he wakes up from a nightmare, get Dion."

"I thought we weren't supposed to talk to Dion," Achilles asked. Sebastian looked stressed trying to soak up all of the new information.

"In that situation, you will need to. Stormy doesn't have nightmares much anymore so it will most likely be alright. Finch is five. He's very independent but will ask for help when he needs it. He's very polite and good with people. He's the red head," I explained, knowing that Finch and Stormy were almost the same size so they might get them confused. Finch wouldn't stop growing.

"The baby is Dew; he's only a few months old. He's a heavy sleeper and usually doesn't wake up in the night except for once when he will want food and need changed," I said, making sure the two boys understood.

"Where are their rooms?" Sebastian asked.

"Dion is on the floor above this one. Stormy, Finch, and Dew are above that. There's a guest room set up for you guys down here. The notes will tell you what to make for breakfast."

"Okay. I think we got this," Achilles said, smiling confidently.

"Good because if there is a hair out of place on any of them, I'll rip your heads off," Zypher said, his words serious. "Lets go Wild."

I nodded and we walked around the two slightly scared moth boys. Sebastian was almost shaking. Zypher opened the front door, allowing me to step out first.

As Zypher began closing the door, I gasped. I pushed it open and make eye contact with the two still standing where we left them, only turned towards us.

"There's three flying mantarays hanging around here somewhere and in the backyard, there's a man-eating plant so just avoid going out there. Be good!" I said, quickly closing the door. Sebastian had looked up at Achilles in panic as I said my last words but Zypher and I needed to go.

"They're going to do fine," Zypher reassured, helping me onto Damask.

"I know."

The final! The moth boys are the main characters of a different story I've been writing that was going to take place modern times but I decided to mix it in with this one and tie it together a bit

I probably will not put anymore short stories up on here so I'm gonna officially make this story completed.
