Warning: blood scenes

Yu POV

I walked past the skeletons room to hear smashing and screaming. Sigh. Monopoly was never a good idea. Ever. It was late evening and most of the skeletons were still up playing the darn game. I walked along the hallway past the girls' room, about to walk back to my room that I shared with the others. The door was slightly ajar, curious, I peeked in. I saw C lying on the floor with some kind of wine bottle in her hand. L was hanging off her bed and chattering about something. Star lay slumped in a chair with a shot glass in her hand. I rushed in, worried for their condition. "What's wrong with you guys?! You're barely 13!" I shouted, grabbing the bottle from C's hands. "Isss appel jooz!" L said in slurred speech, hiccuping. I held the bottle and read the label which said 'Pure Hardcore Apple juice' "Wha...?" I was confused at the label, since only beer and wine could make someone drunk. Wasn't it? "jooz can make uz droonk!!" Star blurted, sipping from her glass. "Well this certainly isn't good for all of you! How Long have you been doing this?" I asked, tossing the bottle into the trash. A whine could be heard from C and L answered, tapping her Chin in thought, "five moonths, weekly!" I stumbled back, unsure whether to laugh or scold them. "Well you all should stop and go to bed now!" I scolded, hands on my hips. "yess mother..." C mumbled, whose face was on the ground. I sighed and wondered how they drank the stuff with their masks on. "If you're asking, there's a hole in our masks where we slide a straw to drink," Star mumbled, the least drunk one.

Just then, Geno ran into the room the slammed the door and locked it. He heaved a sigh of relief until he saw the three girls' state. "I'm not gonna ask but I'm gonna tuck them in." Geno said picking C up with levitation magic and placing her onto her bed. He then tucked L and Star into their beds and sighed. "They got drunk by Apple juice." I stated. Geno sighed and unlocked and opened the door. "I'll be going to sleep now, they should be done with monopoly." Geno said, "And kid? Go to bed too." I nodded and went to my room. I lay in my bed wondering about how familiar the girls seemed. They spoke like them, looked like them and even had the same tastes as them, clothes and food alike. I decided that I would test them the next day, to confirm my assumption.

The next morning, I got up to the find the boys still sleeping, Lee snoring on the floor. I walked down to find Star making breakfast, obviously, with her mask on. I walked over to her and lowered her mask when she didn't notice. Indeed it was Celine. "Yu! Oh my...now you know right?" She sighed placing a pancake onto a plate for me. I nodded and she sighed but smiled. "I might as well assume that you know who's who now right?" I nodded and knew that L was Carrie and C was Melia. "Melia's out training and Carrie's assessing the consumption of food. How about we talk?" Celine smiled and sat down at the breakfast table. We talked while I ate my breakfast. We talked about what had happened after we parted. One moment, Celine held her breath and asked me, "Yu? Can I tell you something? Please don't tell anyone?" I smiled and patted her shoulder, assuring her without words. "Thanks," she gave me a small smile and said, "I kind of like Yu Yan, but I think he doesn't really like me and I'm just scared that-" I held my hand up, shushing her. "I know Yu Yan with every bone in my body. And I definitely know that he likes you too. And I will keep your secrets until you're both ready to say it to each other." I smiled at her and she hugged me. "Thanks Yu. You're like a brother to me!" I hugged her back then let her go, saying, "You should be quite busy now. Off you go 'sister'." She smiled and walked to her room. Everything seemed great. The sanses were happy. Everyone was. But couldn't help but have a nagging feeling that something was wrong.

Do not read on if you don't want to read about their problems.


















Melia POV

Star informed me by phone that Yu knew about our identities so I could talk normally around him. I slashed yet another punching bag apart and wiped my forehead. I smiled knowing that everyone was happy. For the moment. I couldn't help but keep thinking about the message I had just gotten. I sighed and walked to the bathroom. I took my pocket knife out of my pocket and admired it. I took the bandages wrapped around my arms off. My arms were littered with scars from the other times of stress. I ran the knife along my finger lightly. I slashed my left arm, leaving a deep cut in it. "Not bad..." I said to myself, running my finger along the cut, making it stained with blood. I slashed my other arm, then washed my arms with water. I flinched and threw away the old blood-stained bandages. I took out two new ones and wrapped my arms again. I walked out of the bathroom while cleaning my knife with a piece of tissue.

How long would I need to do this until I snapped?

Star POV

I walked back to the room to my personal chest drawer. I unlocked it with my key and pulled it out, taking out a bottle of pills. It read 'Happy Pills. Take 1 per day'. I unscrewed the cap and poured five pills onto my palm. And gulped them all down and felt a surge of emotion go through me. I smiled and put the screwed bottle back into the drawer and locked it. I knew this wasn't good but what else could I do? I'm depressed and this is the only way. Right?

Nevertheless, no one should know.

Carrie POV

Lunch rolled around but I stayed in my office. I put down the papers and sighed, rubbing my eyes. I knew I had black rings and that it wasn't good. I opened a drawer and pulled out a bottle. Nobody knew why I was always the most tired leader but I knew. This job was tiring me out and I had to let myself out one way or another. Sleep wasn't really an option and I don't really think pills is a good idea. Or that's what Star thinks. Knives? That's Melia's thing. Drinks? Now that's good. I can keep hydrated and let myself out at the same time. I drank it down and sighed in happiness. So sweet... I thought. My thoughts suddenly drifted to the picture of Melia and her brother, Boffis. I slammed the bottle onto the table just thinking of my sister. I breathed heavily then remembered we both had sibling problems. My sister was always the more loved one, cared for more. Tears rolled down my cheeks subconsciously and I thought of all my past relationships with people. They always failed and they left me. Not Melia and Celine though. And I'm positive that no one else can ever like me other than them.

...

Right?
