The Creature Family

Chapter 2 - Home Sweet Home

"Boys, go to your room now." Dan opened the front door of their large house.

James and Aleks groaned slowly walking up the stairs to the second floor where their bedroom was located. Since they shared a room, being stuck in their room wasn't going to be too bad since they had each other to keep themselves entertained.

"I can't believe you made me trash the bathroom. I wouldn't have gotten in trouble if it weren't for you." Aleks stated angrily punching the side of the bunk bed they shared.

James just scoffed and layed down on the bottom bunk while Aleks climbed to the top of the bunk bed.

"You do know Kootra is going to kill us when he gets home with Sly, right?" James laughed kicking the top of the bed getting Aleks even more riled up then he already is.

"Yes, I know. You're an asshole. Aren't they getting home today? Seamus is going to be happy if Sly comes home today." Aleks tried to calm himself down by changing the subject to his adoptive father and brothers. Aleks earned himself a glare from James.

"Yeah, they are getting home today but are you kidding? Seamus happy?" James chuckled, "He hates it here and I'm pretty sure he hates all of us."

"He doesn't hate us!" Aleks growled.

"Yeah, he does. You and I both know that."

"He's just been through a lot. Everyone can tell he doesn't hate Sly. Seamus is the closest with him."

"Whatever."

"Kootraaaa, when are we going to get home?" Sly giggled jumping up and down in his seat.

"We'll get there when we get there. Apparently, your brothers got sent home again." Kootra sighed, fixing the red cap on his head.

"That doesn't really surprise me. I can't wait to see Seamus. I missed him." The rest of the way home was in silence.

Because of the silence, Sly couldn't help but allow his mind to drift to his biological parents. As a child, Sly was very close to is biological parents but after his father had passed away, his mother couldn't afford to take care of him anymore. His mother gave him away at the age of seven and was then adopted by the age of ten.

Sly is very close with Seamus because Seamus is the only one with the patience to try and teach Sly English because Sly had never learned how to speak it properly. Sly had also taken quite a liking to Seamus and he really enjoys listening to his sarcastic remarks. The car pulled up in the driveway and seeing the familiar house again, made him smile ear to ear.

Kootra, as a boy scouts leader, had been away with Sly, who was a boy scout and many other boy scouts on a huge camp away trip for almost a week. Sly bolted inside, leaving Kootra to carry all of the luggage inside.

"Seamus! Seamus! Seamus! Seamus! Sea-" Sly jumped up and down but was quickly cut off by an annoyed voice.

"Sly, shut the fuck up! I'm like two goddamn feet in front of you." Seamus growled but couldn't help but lighten up since it had been so long since he had seen his, 'brother'.

"I missed you! A lot of the people started laughing at me because I couldn't get the words right." Sly's accent clearly visible.

"Fuck 'em. Let's go practice with your English." Seamus grinned.
