Goth's POV

Poke.

Someone poked me. 'But I'm so sleepy.' I yawned, turning over in my not so comfy bed.

Another Poke.

"Go away." I grumbled sleepily. Hearing a soft giggle I felt another annoying poke at my side. Cracking an eye socket opened I spotted one of the pillows I don't use for sleeping, grabbing it I chucked it back at the person- assuming it was Raven -. I heard the person squeak and hit the floor with a thud. 'Definitely not Raven.' I thought.

Yawning, I sat up. Looking around groggily I spot a wide eyed nine year old Shino, with a pillow in her lap, on the floor. I snickered, "Shino what exactly are you doing trying to wake me up?" I raised a boney brow at her. It was currently eight in the morning.

She grinned, picking up the pillow, throwing it back at me. It bounced off my face and back onto the floor. "Mommy wants you to get to work. Raven already has enough on her to do list." Shino giggles again while I groaned.

I had forgotten it was a Saturday. The restaurant always opens early on Saturdays.

Being fifteen, juggling work and school is not fun. Did I forget to mention that my family lives in and works at a restaurant? Our mom Geno, runs it. It's called Geno's Treats. I don't understand the name but the money helps with bills and gives us a chance to learn at school.

I stretch, letting out a nice loud yawn, my spine giving out a few clicks. 'That felt nice.' Throwing off the blankets I stand, putting my hands on my hips as I stare down at my younger sister who still has that damn grin on her face. "If you don't get out of my room in the next 5 seconds I'll give you a reason to wipe that grin off your face." I smirk at her. Her eyes widen, quickly getting up, she bolts out of the room. Chuckling to myself I walk over to my opened door and shut it.

After its shut I quietly bang my skull on the door. 'Just another bad day I guess.' I turn, walking up to my beaten up dresser. 'My room is old but it holds good memories.'

Thinking back to the time Raven decided it would be a good idea to throw a spiked bouncy ball in my room. It damaged quite a few things but it was fun, until Mom came home and scolded Raven for being reckless. Oh! And the time Shino wanted to try being a cat for a day! That day was hell. The poor walls in my room STILL have puncture marks. Or the time Xahji punched his former best friend Snazzy into the wall right next to my door. Sighing in irritation I finished getting ready.

A nice button up red vest with a white long sleeved grey lined shirt under neath. Black dress pants and dress shoes clothing my feet and legs. For the finishing touch I placed my glasses on my face and put a nice white cap on. 'Actually forget the cap today.' I flung the cap off my head and headed out of my room only to be greeted by a very pissy Raven yelling at Mom with angry tears in her eyes. "Mom! He smacked me! Can't you just tell him we're his kids?!" I flinched at the word 'smack'. "It's not like it's the end of the world if he knows momma! He's hit me the past three times he's been here!" Mom hugged Raven whispering god knows what into her non existent ear.

"Is Reaper back again?" I gritted out. He should NOT be hitting my older sister. Shes twenty one and could sue his ass if she wanted. The only time Reaper came around was for Mom and her body. He only had her four times but he wanted more. Mom never mentioned to Reaper how she had us and didn't plan to. He was very abusive towards his newly wedded wife at the time. And Mom didn't want anything to happen to us because of him.

When Mom looked at me I could see the fire dancing in her eye light. Raven apparently hadn't told her until now because Reaper would most likely threaten the restaurant. 'Not like Mom cares about the restaurant. We could move and open another, people would flock to that one too.' A running trend with Mom's restaurant is that she has the best cooks in the world. Which isn't exactly a lie but it's also not the truth ether.

Grandma is human and taught Mom everything she needed to know about cooking. Mom decided it would be a good idea for her kids to learn how to cook too. Even me. I already know how to make the best dishes in the place. Raven one upping me with going to college soon to pursue a career in, hopefully, something she likes.

Mom releases Raven and stomps past her. Raven gulps as she turns to stare after Mom. "Uh, Goth..." I crossed my arms and leaned against my opened door, door frame giving a hum I'm response. "Do you think I should have told her that?" She wipes the remaining tears off her face.

"I think you should have told her the first time he did it. Then she most likely wouldn't be as angry as she is now." I push off my door frame and pull my door closed again. "Come on, you want to see your boyfriend right?" I start walking down the hall way.

Hearing a squeak of surprise and foot steps tailing after me, I smirked also adding, "Mom knows about it too. All she told me to tell you is, 'Don't let him play with your heart like your father did mine.'" I added that little sassy walk Mom always does when talking about something important, with a hand on my hip and my other hand in the air as I shake my pointer finger from side to side as if scolding a child.

Raven giggling like mad made me smile. We reached the end of the hallway with two double doors. I pushed it open to only hear silence as Raven and I walked through it silently. My eyes travel over all of our customers until my eyes land on a very upset Mom approaching an oblivious Reaper.

Reaper is 'tending' to his 'wife' who looks scared out of her wits. I believe her name is Lady Blue. She comes from a high end family, no lord, no majesty. Her family just has money hence the 'Lady' part to her name. If she were of a lords blood line then she would be known as 'Mistress' since she would be of higher superiority.

When Reaper finally noticed my Mom he instantly stood and cupped one of her cheek bones with his hand while smirking. "Geno!~ How nice of you to drop by.~" He purred. Her eyes didn't meet his, they were closed and turned downward.

One of Mom's hands resting on her hip as her other raised quicker then Reaper could blink. Mom smacked his hand away quite forcefully. "Don't touch me." She snapped.

Reaper jolted, looking quite surprised but it was quickly masked with concern. "Geno sweetheart, what's wrong?" He steps out from the table he was sitting at with his 'wife' and looms over Mom. He goes to reach for her again only for his hand to be smacked away, again.

"YOU DARE COME IN HERE AND HIT MY STAFF REAPER?!" She bellows out in rage, instantly grabbing the attention of all her customers. Mom had a habit of snapping at Lords, Mistresses, Queens, Kings, Princes, and Princesses. It was fairly rare but it does happen from time to time.

I gently tap Raven shoulder and beckon her to tend to the customers. She bolts instantly to her first table, effectively distracting Auntie Error, Uncle Ink and their two sons. My gaze travels back over to Mom and Reaper.

Reaper concerned melts into slight anger. "A member of your staff was quite rude when I asked for you three times. I see no wrong in my actions." He glared at her. Beads of sweat decorated my skull. 'This is not good.' I quickly made my way over to Xahji who is tending to the people who arrive and would like a seat. Quietly I tell him that we need to vacate the customers for now. He nods his head having already sensed the atmosphere and herd Mom's yelling.

I look over my shoulder at Mom to see her still fuming while Reaper looked even more angry then before. She hadn't actually slapped his face yet.

That was good.

The customers understood what was happening and quickly left when ether me, Raven, or Xahji beckoned them over. Although some did stay like the Afterfell family. Scratch that. The Afterfell Royal family is the only family to stay. Other then Aunt Error who looked pissed and ready to kill Reaper if he tried anything. Uncle Ink was standing beside her and their
two sons looked concerned as they stayed seated.

I quickly walked back threw the double doors to our rooms looking for Shino. Reaper's and Mom's conversation just kept escalating and I'm pretty sure someone is going to get hit soon. I needed to find Shino before anything happens.

Deciding to search her actual room first was the best idea because I found her immediately. She was huddled in a corner on the phone with, I'm assuming, Uncle Fresh. I quickly gathered her up in my arms where she instantly clung to me as she sputtered and hiccuped into the phone. Sitting down on the bed I rubbed her back in a soothing manner. I could faintly hear Uncle Fresh on the other end.

"Shino, it's alright baby girl. No need for tears." I almost didn't recognize his voice. "I'm sure Goth's with you now hu homie?" I kept rubbing her back as her crying lessened. She let out a small audible 'mhm'. "That good! You got your big bro with ya now. He's gonna protect you now dawg." Shino giggles, she always found the way Uncle Fresh speaks amusing. I heard a very loud smack. 'And there they go.' I sighed in irritation as I felt Shino tense and start trembling. "Shino I gotta go now broski. People are waiting on me alright?" Another audible 'mhm' came from her and a small 'bye' left her lips.

I stood, placing her on my hip I walked out of her room and into the hallway. I glanced at the double doors and knew it would be a really bad idea to bring Shino in there. But Auntie Error can protect Shino better then I can. 'Fuck it. Let's go.' And with that I stomped through the double doors.
