NINE
Unedited*
Eden wakes up to a massive headache and aching body. She groans as she sits up and rubs her head hoping to reduce the pain and slowly stands up to get to the kitchen hoping for some orange juice. Once Eden reaches the kitchen she sees both Luther and Allison sitting at the table with a plate and a glass of Orange juice in front of them. She slides into the chair beside Allison and immediately gulps down the glass of orange juice set out for her.
"Must have had a crazy night" Allison states as she glances at her sister who looks like she's in pain
"Don't even get me started" Eden groans
"You reek of alcohol" Luther says with a disapproving glance
"You're only seventeen-" He starts but gets cut off by Edens groan
"Not now Luther" Eden groans before Luther sighs and clears his throat
"Mom? We need to ask you some questions about the night that dad died." Luther says and Eden glances at her brother with confusion
"Do you remember anything?" He asks as their mother turns to them with a frown
"Of course. Sunset, 7:33 pm, moon was waxing crescent, dinner was Cornish hen, wild rice, and carrots." She explains
"No, no, later that night in his bedroom. Did you go and see him? " Luther asks and Eden notices how Allison shifts uncomfortable and how mom hesitates
"I don't recall" she smiles and turns back around to the food before Luther makes a face at Allison
"We're you ever... I don't know, angry with dad?" She asks
"Your father was a good man, a kind man. He was very good to me." Mom smiles
"Yes, but after we all left, it must have been difficult." Allison says
"Oh, there were days, you kids kept me oh so busy and then-" Mom abruptly stops talking
"Mom?" Eden calls out in worry
"What were you going to say? Allison asks
"Eggs are ready!" She suddenly exclaims and all the worry Eden felt drowned the minute eggs and bacon were set in front of her
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" She says
"Thanks mom" Eden thanks her mother who smiles as Eden quickly gobbles down her breakfast before standing up to go to her room passing Fives bedroom. Five glances up when he hears footsteps and sees Eden pass his door. He goes to open his mouth but closes it again and sighs.
Eden closes her bedroom door and into her bathroom where she freshens up before going back into her room and deciding which outfit she wants to wear. She jumps in surprise when somebody barges into her room and quickly tries to find something to cover herself with.
Fives eyes widen and his face turns so red he looked like a tomato when he notices that Eden stood only in a black lacy bra and matching underwear. He quickly turns around and leans against her now closed door with wide eyes. Probably should've knocked
Five suddenly stumbled backwards when Eden opens the door with flushed cheeks. She wore a white silky tank top with high waisted jeans and black booties, her curl hair put into a messy side braid.
"Do you need something or are you here to apologize?" She boldly asks with crossed arms making sure he knew she was mad.
"I-I came to apologize I didn't mean to snap at you I was just frustrated and confused, will you accept my apology?" Five nervously asks as he glances up at Eden who tilted her head and pretended to think for a moment.
"Okay I accept your apologize" She says with a small smile and Five was mentally jumping up and down with happiness.
"Great now follow me" he says and grabs her wrist
"Where are we going?" Eden asks and he smirks
"To get some answers" He answers and Eden shrugs
She follows him out the window and down the stairs when she hears Klaus talking to someone while digging through the trash.
"I'd ask what you're up to, Klaus, but then it occurred to me.....I don't care" Five bluntly says and helps Eden to the ground
"Hey" Klaus laughs
"You know there's easier ways out of the house right?"
"This one involved the least amount of talking or so I thought" Five says with his hands in his pockets
"Hey, hey, hey, you need any more company today?" He asks while raising a flask
"I could uh clear my schedule"
"Eden will be enough besides it looks like you got your hands full" Five says and Eden smiles at Klaus
"Oh this? No, no, I can do this whenever, I'm just-" Klaus cuts himself off when he slips on a trash bag
"I just misplaced something, that's all" he shouts from the trash can and Eden goes to walk over when Five grabs her wrist and shakes his head
"Oh fount it! Thank god!" Klaus sighs in relief while holding an old donut that was already bitten out of before take a large bite
"Delicious" he says and Eden scrunches up her face and digs into her purse to grab her wallet pulling out a 100
"I'm done funding your drug habit" Five says while walking away
"Go buy you something to eat Klaus" Eden says and hands him the money
"Thank you!" Klaus says while watching his younger sister walk away with a frown. Ben sighs from behind him and shakes his head.
"Maybe you should just go get something to eat instead of wasting our sisters hard earned money" Ben says watching Klaus's shoulders slump
"Yeah maybe" Klaus mumbles feeling guilty
Eden jumps into the van before realizing Five stole it.
"Why didn't we just take my car?" Eden asks as she felt very uncomfortable in a stolen car
"Well if we get caught we don't want your car at the scene" he says in a duh tone and Eden nods before glancing around the dirty van and catching sight of a large duffel bag. Eden didn't say anything until they parked right across from the building that Lance worked at. Five was watching Lance with eagle eyes, following his every move.
"So what's in the duffel bag?" Eden asks curiously and Fives eyes widen in panic
"Oh shit!" He exclaims and grabs the duffel bag
"Hey" he says softly
"Sorry you were in there for so long, Delores" He says and grabs the mannequin putting her in the front
Eden turns to the mannequin with wide eyes, this is Delores? Eden thought to herself
"Delores this is Eden and Eden this is Delores" Five introduces them with a wide smile and Eden gives the mannequin a smile
"It's nice to meet you Delores" Eden says with a small smile than turns to the window watching the people walk by.
"No, I'm not drunk" Five states as he turns to the mannequin
" I'm working " Five states before his eyebrows furrow
"Yes, it's about the eye thing"
"This is the place it was made or will be made" Five states and Eden sighs to herself playing with her phone
They sat there for an hour in silence and Eden glances at Five to see him staring at the eye. The silence was interrupted by Edens phone ringing and she smiles in relief.
"I'm gonna go and take this" she says to Five who watches her get out before sighing. He watches as a wide smile spread across her face once she picks the phone up and closes his eyes before opening them again. This time it was different though, ashes fell inside the van and outside and suddenly Eden wasn't there anymore.
Five quickly gets out of the van with wide panicked eyes. His head whipped around in a panic and suddenly his heart dropped.
"No!" He shouts in despair
"Eden!" He shouts loudly, his heart breaking again when he hears her voice
"Five! Five! Open the door!" He abruptly turns to the van door to see a worried Eden.
"Are you alright?" She asks in concern and he gulps just staring at her, is she actually real?
"Five?" She asks in concern and he shakes his head
"I-I'm fine" He says and she hums still looking concern but letting it pass
"Okay" she drawls and jumps into the backseat and that's when Five notices Luther struggling to get into the front seat
"You okay?" Luther asks and Five just stares at him
"You shouldn't be here! How did you find us?" Five asks with a slight sneer
Luther clears his throat and glances behind him as Eden and Five follow his gaze. Klaus was in the back of the van snuggling Delores.
"Hey, a little privacy guys, we're really hitting it off back here" Klaus pouts before Five angrily throws something at Klaus
"Get out! You can't be here! I'm in the middle of something" Five angrily says but Klaus ignores it and sits beside Eden
"Any luck finding your one eyed man?" Klaus ask
"No" Five whispers with a glare and Luther furrows his eyebrows
"What's he talking about?" Luther asks
"Does it matter? It's Klaus" Five sighs
"What do you want Luther?"
"So Grace may have had something to do with dads death so I need you two to come back to the academy, all right? It's important" Luther says and glances at Eden and Five
"So that's why you were asking mom all those weird questions this mourning" Eden mumbles to herself
"It's important' you have no concept of what's important" Five glares
"Hey!" Klaus interrupts
"Did I ever tell you guys about the time I waxed my ass with a chocolate pudding?" Klaus says and Eden gags
"Ew Klaus! If you wanted a wax you could have called me and I would have set you up with my personal waxer" Eden says with disgust
"It was so painful" He laughs at their disgusted faces
"What are you still doing here?" Luther asks in annoyance
"What? I need excuse to hang out with my family?" Klaus asks and puts a hand over his heart
"We're trying to have a serious conversation" Luther says while staring at Klaus
"What, and I'm incapable of being serious? Is that what you're saying?"
"Luthers got a point, you should get out" Five pipes up and Eden frowns
"What?" Klaus exclaims and Edens frown deepens feeling Klaus's hurt emotions
"Fine!" He mumbles and gets out of the car
"What the hell are you up to?" Luther asks Five once Klaus is out.
"You wouldn't understand" Five says
"Try me, last time I checked I'm still the leader of this family" Luther states
"Well last I checked I'm 28 years older than you" Five states with a glare
"You know what your problem is?" Luther asks and Eden sighs feeling Fives anger
"Luther maybe yo-" Eden was cut off by Five
"Really hoping you'll tell me" Five says with a small smirk
"You think you're better than us you always have even when we were kids" Luther says
"But the truth is you're just as messed up as the rest of us." Luther says and Eden glances down in shame
"We're all you have... and you know it" Luther states
"I don't think I'm better than you Number one. I know I am" Five sneers
"Right" Luther mumbles
"I've done unimaginable things, things you couldn't even comprehend." Five states
"Right" Luther mumbles again
"Just to get back here and save you all" Five mutters to himself but Edens attention was on Klaus who's arms were full of things
"Stop!" A man yells at Klaus who smiles while running as fast as he could with a police officer chasing him down
"Hey! Stop right now!" The police officer shouts as he chases Klaus down
"Hey bitches!" Klaus yells at them running away from the police officer that was blowing his whistle.
Eden watches as Klaus runs into a car and getting arrested with a sigh and a shake of her head.
"Now I'm starting to wonder if that was the wisest decision" Five says and after a moment of silence Luther sighs
"Well I'm going back to the academy" Luther says and gets out of the car while Eden herself sighs for what feels like the 10th time
"I think I'm going to go to the meeting besides they'll probably make a rash decision without me so..." Eden trails off as she pats Fives shoulder as he glances up at her.
"You're leaving?" He asks in confusion and she sends him a small smile as she opens the door to the van.
"Yeah even though I'm not ready for the drama but without my wise decisions our family would pick the stupid ones so I think it's wise I go. Just text me if something happens, okay?" Eden says and Five nods watching her close the door before running after Luther.
She was most definitely not ready for this family meeting.
