Fighters

Chapter 2

After three hours, the plane had finally landed. As much as I loved to fly, I was glad to be on solid ground again.

I scanned the reception for a familiar face when I heard a voice.

"Hey. Are you blind?! You took my suitcase!" Someone yelled.

I whipped my head around to see the face who possessed a powerful voice.
After some searching, I found a match.

I'm pretty sure air decided not to enter my nose holes anymore when I saw the face. Striking hazel eyes glared at me accompanied by very brown hair with the scent of chocolate. And damn..

"My suitcase!!!" His voice snapped at me stopping my ogling session before it could go any further.

I looked down at the Nike case in my hand and checked it. It looked like mine. And I'm pretty sure it was mine. But at the back, it said Andrews.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't really looking." I tried to coax his anger but apparently he didn't want that.

He literally snatched the suitcase from my hand and flung mine at me.

"Well next time wear glasses." He snarled.

Wow, rude much.

"I said I was sorry. Jeez what is wrong with you man?" I asked aggravated with his dramatics.

He was about to retaliate when someone came and tapped me from behind. I turned around to see blonde hair contrasting with my black one.

"Thalia!" I grinned.

"Hey cousin." She returned the smile. "Before we go, you might want to finish your convo with Mr. Angry here."

I had totally forgotten about the ass.

"No I'm done with this conversation." He said and stalked out of there, violently bumping his shoulder against mine which such force I nearly fell.

"Hey!" I yelled at him. "Try to watch where your going."

He turned. "Oh that's rich. Coming from the girl who didn't see she took MY suitcase."

All this drama because I accidentally took his suitcase. And they say girls are dramatic.

"Well excuse me for not paying more attention. But that doesn't give you the right to act like I killed your Chihuahua."

"Fine then. Now get lost." He barked.

One of my blue eyes twitched.

"Come on Kiara let's go." Thalia said.

"Get lost? I should get lost?! For your information this is a public place available for normal citizen of a country. I'm not going anywhere until I freaking want to. Oh and try not to blow up on random people again. We don't exactly care if a frog crawled up your ass and died. But I kinda need to go because I have more important things to do than fighting with a moron. Now, if you would please go to hell, that would be very much appreciated because some of us are trying to get somewhere." I yelled in his face.

That shut him up.

I marched past him toward the parking lot, with Thalia behind me.

"Kiara, you really lost your shit in there." She said unlocking the doors.

"I didn't lose my shit." I argue pointlessly. "Just stating a few facts since he is a moron."

"Mmm hmm. But the guy was hot." She sighed.

So did I. "Yeah he was. But dumb brain and good body doesn't always work out."

"Where's your suitcase Kiara?" She suddenly asked.

My eyes widened before I scrambled out of the car to get the stupid suitcase that caused my problem.

"Who's the moron now." She laughed at me.

"Shut up."

We spent the next few minutes rocking out to Dolly Parton songs and belting out the lyrics in horrible accents. Anyone else on that car ride would have been permanently deaf.

Then a horrible thought went through my mind.

"STOP THE CAR." I yelled.

She immediately stepped on the emergency break.

"What is it?" She asked surprised.

I gave her a serious look.

"My phone's dead. Do you have a charger." I asked.

If it was possible to faint the way cartoons did, Thalia would be in the hospital.

"YOU IDIOT." She smacked my head. "I nearly crashed the car!"

Oops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you know what it's like to be tackled by three seven year old kids and a dog? If not, consider yourself lucky.

Once I stepped through the door into Thalia's house, I fell on my backside.

"Kiara!!" Three voices yelled simultaneously.

Towering above me were Ruby, Emerald and Diamond, the cutest non identical triplets I've ever met and the dog, Captain Hook. God knows why they named her that.

I gave them a smile. "Powerpuff girls. How've you been?"

"Fine." Ruby and Pearl answered.

"I'm not a girl Kiara." Emerald pouted.

"I know, I know." I told him then patted his head.

"Did you bring us anything?" They asked in anticipation of gifts I usually brought them.

"Ruby, Pearl, Emerald. That's not good manners."

I looked around to see my uncle smiling at us.

"Sorry Kiara." They said looking at their feet.

"That's ok. But I didn't bring something, but you each get ten bucks." At that statement, they faces lit up like Christmas trees.

"Hey Uncle Alex." I greeted him. Hook licked my foot, sad at me not giving her attention.

I picked her up and set her on my lap. "Hey girl." I scratched her ear.

"Ok that's it." Someone announced. "You guys can hog her later. Right now, Kiara and I have some catching up to do."

I turned to face my favorite person in that house next to Thalia.

"Bryce!!" I yelled and jumped into his arms.

"Oh, so you greet the dog, the seven year olds, my wacko sister and my dad before me, your favorite person in the world." He teased lightly.

"Alright, break it up you two." Thalia came and tore us apart. "I brought her here, so I hog her first. After, you can have your turn." She said and dragged me upstairs to her room.

They've objectified me in this house.

As we got in, she locked the door behind her, so no one could enter.

"Guess what." She said then pushed me on the bed.

"Y'know, trying to get me into your bed by force isn't going to work." I smirk at her and she replies me with an eyeroll.

"Please, you're not even my type sweetie." She said. "Anyway, that guy finally broke up with your mom."

I didn't want to hear this news.

"Well good for him. She would probably drain his pocket and his life energy." I said nonchalantly.

"And she is coming over tonight to see you." She said.

I didn't want to hear this news either.

"Life is a pot of beans" I told her.
