Mugi POV: Age - 22
After a few months on the road I am having a bit of a break from it. I'm taking a break because in a few days is my sister's 18 birthday. I'm far but I'm going to make it in time. So I go, my car is the only thing I got with me, at least for my travel through America. After that, as I go away to Europe, Asia and those I might go in boat leaving the car but I might take it. That's a worry for when I leave to go there in the future as for now my only worry is Neva's birthday.
The days pass and is her birthday already and I'm late but I still will arrive on the day of her birthday. I'm close to home, very close but with a quick naps, bathroom stops, eating and buying her gift and a small cupcake I go there. I arrive home and there is a small celebration so I park the car a bit off where I find a free spot and grabbing her gift and the cupcake I turn to go in. They see me but they also sense that I'm hiding my aura so they let me pass through them all. I find mom at the kitchen.
Unity-Neva is on her room.
I smile and turning to leave I turn back and I give mom a tight hug and a kiss before I go upstairs to my sister's room. I go in without knocking and I see she's on her nightgown wich is just a loose short dress. Anyhow, she has her clothes spread out all over her room except the closet where they belong. She is so focused on her clothes that she doesn't notices me until I speak.
-I believe you should wear a casual dress.
Neva-But casual today is......Mugi.........
She stares at me and I smile leaving the gifts on the bed for her.
-Hug.........
I laugh as she flies to my arms for a hug and I squeeze her gently.
Neva-You came.
-Of course I did. I was quite far but I could still afford coming. You're my baby sister and I love you.
Neva-I love you too, you're my big brother. Will you stay?
-Today and part of tomorrow.
Neva-And you're going away again.
-Yes but until then we will have a lot of fun. Together, let's enjoy ourselves.
Neva-Let me get dressed and them we're going to enjoy ourselves.
-Sure thing.
I leave her alone so she can dress and, as said, we enjoy ourselves and she refuses to sleep that night as she takes me to party more and more and we are definitely having fun until one time as we get home she falls asleep on the couch. I got no idea when she fell asleep but I don't really mind.
Unity-She must be really tired.
-I'm getting her to bed before I go back to my trip.
She sighs and she helps me getting Neva to her bed. I brush her cheek slightly before I leave her to sleep and so I bid mom my farewells.
Unity-Thanks for coming today. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Take care, be careful, behave, don't do anything too dangerous or too...........
She sighs and I smile at that as she instead of lecturing me she just hugs me.
Unity-My sweet little boy. Take care and keep in touch.
-I will. You brought me into this world and I will honor that act by being happy and safe.
She nods and so I kiss both her hands before I leave at last. I drive all the way sleeping on the car at the side of the road until I arrive at the place where I was, New York. I turn to fix everything for my trip and my stay here and so I go to sleep for an entire night before I retake my trip.
Six years later
Cyrus POV: Age - 55
I am one morning at home having breakfast and I smile as my wife feeds our youngest daughter.
D-That's it, there you go.
Zabdi, just two, babbles happy after gulping down her food.
Aranza-Mom, can I help you?
D-What? Feeding your sister.
Aranza-One or two bites only. Please.
Dalilah sighs and she stands up.
D-Come on, get a bit closer. If it gets messy is a small one.
Aranza-And is easier to clean.
We all laugh at that and I watch in silence as Dalilah guides Aranza on how to feed her sister until she slowly comes sit at my side leaving the sisters together.
D-Nice picture.
-Yes it is.
We keep looking until she turns to us.
Aranza-She's done. Right? Is empty, it is empty, right?
She shows us the bowl and we confirm it.
-Very empty.
D-Very good.
Aranza-Hear that? Very good, you ate it all.
She cheers and Zabdi laughs and babbles happy as well. We laugh with joy at the scene.
-Come now, let's get ready to go.
Aranza-Yes dad.
-Go on, go brush your teeth.
She disappears to the bathroom and I turn to pick up the dirty dishes and I wash them as Dalilah cleans Zabdi.
D-I'm glad the girls get along.
-Me too. How can they not love each other?
I take Zabdi from her and she toys with my tie.
D-She's going to ruin it.
-She's happy and I can just use another one. Ain't that right baby girl?
She laughs as I poke her cheeks a little.
D-Come now, you have to get Aranza to school and then go to work.
-I know. See you later then?
D-See you later.
We share a quick kiss before I move to get Aranza.
-Aranza. Come now, time to go to school.
She appears on top of the stairs holding her backpack and I smile.
-Let me help you with that.
Aranza-I got it.
She passes me downstairs and I can't help but smile at that. We bid one last goodbye with Dalilah and Zabdi before we go at last. I leave Aranza on her school and she goes excited into the school. I smile and with one last glance I leave to go to work.
Mugi POV: Age - 28
I wake up and stretching out myself I sit up. I'm on an Alaska hut with a group of travelers that I joined. They're like me, traveling for the adventure and we joined because we get along. The group consists in a guy with medical skills, a female cook, a guy with a camera and me, the traveler leader. Not one of us shares any physical trait. I have black hair and golden eyes. Tobias, the medic, has brown hair and brown eyes. Amy, the cook and only lady in the group is blonde with light blue eyes. Eduardo, the camera guy has red hair and black eyes.
Anyhow, I look around at them as they're still sleeping and slowly I get out of bed and towards the common room and then to the kitchen where I find that Amy is already awake and cooking breakfast.
-Morning.
Amy-Mugi, babe, you're awake, how did you slept?
-Surprisingly good. How was yours?
Amy-Mine was..........quite enjoyable, yes, very enjoyable.
I look at her and I catch a deep blush on her so I ask.
-What are you making?
Amy-Scrambled eggs with ham, four fried eggs with a bit of vegetables mixed into them, four boiled eggs. Four stripes of bacon for each of us so sixteen, three pancakes for each so twelve, one toasted bread for each with your choice of butter or sauce, two sausages for each so eight and the drinks that are your choice. I made a bit of coffee for myself but there's more there so you can drink a bit of coffee or choose something else.
-Sounds delicious, is the menu really so varied?
Amy-Not really. I'm just making scrambled eggs with ham and a few vegetables on it and a bit of coffee.
-Should I wake the others?
Amy-Go on, I'm going to serve in a moment.
I nod and so I go wake everyone up and not an hour later we're dressed and almost ready to go and we speak cheerfully.
E-It bothers me a bit that the lights come out at night when the cold, is colder.
-Is cold all the time.
T-Right but is still colder.
They both chatter between themselves being all lovey dovey between each other. I consider gay couples to be too sweet and I'm also jealous of them having a good relationship but on the bright side, I might have a chance with Amy. She's cute, sexy and she shares a few of my likes. I liked her since I met her three years ago on a casual trip. After traveling completely alone for four years we met and we started going to a few of the same places for a year before we all came together as a formal group for the last two years. I wanted to travel alone with her but still I find it better that the guys joined us. They're both her friends that quickly became my friends as well.
-Let's go out now. The sooner we're done with this part of the trip the sooner we'll be out of the cold.
They nod in agreement and getting dressed we go out and to do all the things we want to do.
Cyrus POV: Age - 55
I arrive home with my eldest daughter and as I turn to get in I know something's wrong because the front door is open.
-Aranza, stay close to me and be silent.
I feel her holding my hand tightly and so I get her to her room first of all.
-Stay here and don't come out until I come for you.
I kiss her forehead and so I go downstairs checking all of the rooms. I find that some things are missing. I check my room and my wife is not there, Zabdi is not on her room either. I keep going and I finally find Zabdi and Dalilah. I find Dalilah first on the floor as if she were going towards the kitchen, she's bleeding, pushing down my feelings I grab her in my arms and I turn to hold her as gently as I can.
-Dalilah.
I freak and so I keep looking and I find Zabdi hidden on the kitchen, she's silently playing with her fluffy bunny toy inside of an empty food cabinet. She cheers as she sees me and I laugh relieved.
-Zabdi, baby girl.
I am even more relieved when I see she's fine and unharmed. As I finally calm down, I focus and I think with reason and so I can act. I call police, rescue, ambulance and in less than an hour they arrive and I tell them everything that I know and I help with everything they ask that I can help. It hurts me when in the hospital they ask me if they can question my daughter. I agreed for them to revise Zabdi but now they want to question Aranza.
-Why? She wasn't even there.
Officer-She is not a suspect, we just want to check her health and her understanding of the situation.
I sigh and looking at Aranza I sigh as I sit with her.
-Aranza. They want to ask you a few questions. Do you think you can go with them and answer their questions?
Aranza-I can try.
-Don't worry, I'm sure they're easy questions. I'm also sure they won't hurt you.
I walk with her and she goes with them but they only sit a bit apart from me where I can watch her. Eventually the officers go away and I wait with the girls. They both fall asleep against me and I'm almost about to fall asleep when my phone vibrates with a call. I take it out and I hang up. Still, remembering my situation I dial dad's number. It takes a while but he answers sleepy.
Owen-Hello.
-Dad, I need you.
Owen-Where are you?
-At the hospital.
Owen-I'll be right there.
I sigh and so I hang up. I got no idea what happened or how much time has passed but when I come to he's already here.
Owen-Cyrus, hey, wake up.
-Hmm, hi. You got here fast.
I adjust my position moving the girls to lean on each other before I get up myself. I start explaining but I don't finish as the doctor finally calls me out and I ask.
-How is she? How is my wife?
The doctor takes a deep breath before he speaks.
?-I'm sorry. We did everything we could but, she didn't make it.
I step back from the doctor and I just, I take a deep breath and I hide my feelings deep within my mind and my heart to express later and be able to handle things now with a cool head.
-Dad, take the girls with you back home and I'll stay to fix things here.
Owen-Alright, take care. You don't have to worry about the girls. Sorry.
He hugs me and I hesitate but I hug him back before he finally goes away and I stay fixing everything.
