Falling Petals

Chapter 2:Bickering, questioning and guess what, more bickering.

Figures, everyones pissed and all that jumbled mess, but no one cared to come and check on me.

Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus & Ben and finally Vanya along with a couple of others, her friends, I couldn't remember their names for the life of me, but then again there wasn't much life in me anyways, they had all now arrived at our childhood home. And of course with the gang back together, they're already starting bullshit.

A while ago Vanya, my sister with no powers wrote a book and of course, Vanya being Vanya and not knowing what she's doing, spilled some of the beans about the family that everyone found apparently not that great. Diego has already told her to leave when this douche nugget hasn't even checked on his sister.

Me I'm talking about me. In fact no one has come to check on me. Literally was about to break a vase or something to get their attention but I noticed Diego walking up to Reginald's room.

~*****~

The floor creaked as he walked in, "I can save you some time. They're all locked.No forced entry, no sign of struggle. Nothing out of the ordinary." Luther turned around to face Diego, that's when he noticed Luther's unusual size.
"Oh, you got big, Luther. What's the secret, huh? Protein shakes? Low carbs?" He asked, teasingly.

"What do you want?" Luther said in a full voice, I sat on the bed, watching them.

"The autopsy report."

"Ah. And you have this why?"

"Well, that's because I broke into the coroner's office.And surprise, surprise, Dad's death was... normal. Just a boring, old heart failure." He explained.

"Yeah, so?" Luther said, like it was obvious that something bigger happened.

"So, why are you in here, checking all the windows?"

"Were you the first one on the scene?" Luther questioned Diego as if he thought he had actually killed Reginald.

"Pogo found him." He answers blatantly.

" Yeah, I talked to Pogo. He said he couldn't find Dad's monocle." He said it as if he was asking if Diego took it and maybe used it as the weapon, this spaceboy was already getting on my nerves.

"And your point being?" Diego wondered, probably thinking the same thing I was.

"Can you think of a single time you saw Dad and he wasn't wearing that monocle? No. Which means someone took it. Which means there's a chance he wasn't alone when he died." Ooh, Luther is playing detective now and surprise, he actually found a clue, just not any worthy suspects.

"There is no mystery here. Nothing to avenge. Nothing to solve, nothing like that.
It's just a sad old man who kicked it in a big, empty house. Just like he deserved." He deserved worse, but I suppose that can't change now.

"You should leave." Luther said defensively.

"Whatever you say, brother." Diego walks out of the room and I could hear his footsteps fading.

Luther sighs one last time and ventures out the door as well. who should I check on next, I already see tension between Diego and Vanya and Luther and Diego. Actually speaking of Vanya, I wonder if she left? And I wanted to see the other two men that were with her, they were like us, well not like Vanya but... Well they have powers as well, due to being born on the same day, of the same month of the same year on the same hour.

~*****~

I wandered around the mansion, stopping to walk into the Library, where there stood bookshelves among bookshelves crammed with books and on one wall stood a rather weird portrait of Five. And on the other side, Vanya was standing with a book in her hands the boys standing next to her.
