LIVING IN CHESHIRE AND CALLING IT HOME CAME QUITE QUICKLY TO THE KING DOMINION STUDENTS, EASILY FITTING THEMSELVES INTO THE ENGLISH CULTURE. It had been 4 years since the first day arriving at the Grey manor. Lilith and the rest of the students, still awaiting for the return of Jason, but he never came.
Marcus and Petra had grown to believe that Jason had just given up on attempting to cause harm on the group, but the Grey family knew better. Each year that passed, Lilith and Alec grew more anxious, yet continued to keep themselves busy and prepared with continuing their training.
It was the day before Lilith's birthday, the prime age of eighteen was hours away. The girl was daydreaming, her attention fixated on her bedroom wall full of photo frames when Marcus dipped his head into her room.
Over the four years, Lilith and Marcus redeemed their friendship they once had before at kings dominion before their feelings got in the way. With Lilith still worrying about the quietness of her brothers surroundings, the girl kept herself busy with practicing her combat and knife throwing, mainly just keeping herself to herself.
As the two grew older, Marcus began to admire the girl more, he took in consideration how much family meant to the girl, admiring the love for family and friends she had, just like he had too. Having had lived with the Grey family for the past four years, Marcus and the rest of the king dominion students classed the family as their own, the group of friends even calling one another family.
Tiana acted like the older sister Marcus never had, from always teasing him about his lack of skills with blow darts and knife throwing to pranking him all throughout the day. Alec too warmed up to the boy, after a not so good starting point between the two at kings dominion, the oldest Grey sibling taking the boy under his wing, showing him the aspects of archery and using the wonders of a map.
Lex felt at home the most, due to him being back in his homeland, taking full advantage of the freedom he had achieved from his eighteenth birthday a month ago.
"Hey."
Marcus climbed out of his thoughts for his eyes to be met with those of Lilith's, a smile plastered across her face as he welcomed the boy into her room. Marcus returned the smile, walking over to her spin-able desk chair, falling back onto it.
"You ready for tonight?" Marcus asked the girl as she moved herself back on her bed, her back now resting against the headboard. Lilith nodded her head to his question, her smile increasing as she fiddled with her hands.
"Tia said to tell you Ethan would be there tonight, and some other people called Layla and Tom."
Those words made Lilith's eyes widen as she leaned forward, Marcus noticing the sudden burst of happiness cover her face.
"Who are they?"
"They were the best friends I could have ever have asked for before I had to move to San Francisco." Lilith spoke. "On our first day home at our welcome party, Ethan was supposed to be there, but he had family matters to attend to."
