A little boy with dark brown hair cried quietly on his bed. He had a very bad day at school and was being teased again. He was really upset when he got home and he started to say bad things about himself..but then he remembered what he found that morming and stopped crying. He turned on his back as the last of his tears rolled down his cheeks.

The eleven year old put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the small blue button. He hadn’t touched it since he put in his pocket before school.

Roger had no idea what it would do but he decided to see what would happen. He didn’t really think before he pressed the button and when he did, he felt his body become lighter and he started to float. Roger gasped in shock as he was above his bed slowly moving up towards the ceiling of the room he shared with his twin sister, Riley. But since Riley had softball practice that day, she wasn’t home.

Roger’s back hit the ceiling and Roger pressed the button again. Roger started to float back down to his bed and he sat on his bed. Roger was amazed by the button he had.

Roger laid back down and put the bottom back in his pocket. He felt better.

Then the door opened and Roger’s flinched as his eyes darted to the door. His oldest sister, Rhea, came in and walked over to him. “Hey, Roger.” She smiled and he hoped she didn’t see any evidence that he had been crying.

Rhea sat on hid bed and Roger raised up. “Hi, Rhea..” He whispered, and she frowned. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing.”

“Nothing? You’ve been crying.” Rhea became concerned and grabbed his face. He closed his eyes and shook his head. “Nothing’s wrong.”

Rhea let him go and pouted, “That’s not fair.” She mumbled. “F-Fine.” Roger looked away.

Rhea smiled and pulled Roger in a hug before pulling him down to lay with her. “Now, tell me, Roger. Who made you cry?”

“Some guys at school..” Roger mumbled, and Rhea frowned as she ran her hand through his hair. She waited patiently for her little brother to continue.

"They teased me for being smarter than them.." "Well, you are smarter than them, aren't you?" Rhea whispered and Roger slowly nodded.

"Then you have nothing to worry about." Rhea kissed his forehead, "What, did they called you, a nerd?" Rhea asked and Roger nodded again.

"Well, it's too bad..you're better than them and they're jelly of that big brain of yours." Rhea said, making Roger giggle and she smiled.

A brown-haired male lazily looked out the window. His hair slowly turned yellow and a few of his classmates stared at him. Jett had been staring at the garden of flowers. “Jett?” Yellow quickly turned to purple as he quickly looked at his teacher. “You alright?” The purple slowly turned into yellow again as the boy nodded.

“Okay, try to pay attention, okay? This stuff is important for your test.” The teacher said, and smiled. Jett raised up and nodded, showing that he’d listen this time. The teacher nodded and continued reviewing the lesson.

Jett focused on his teacher’s lesson and made it through the end of class. Jett stayed behind after the other students left and his teacher walked over to his desk. Jett stared out the window as the teacher sat down in front of him. “Jett.” Jett’s hair turned white as he looked at his teacher. “Your parents called me. They want me to take you home again. Is that okay?” The older man smiled a little.

“As long as you get me icecream.” Jett’s hair turned yellow as he smiled at his teacher. “Of course, kid.” The man stood up and ruffled Jett’s hair before walking back to his desk to pack up. Jett grabbed his things and followed his teacher to the big desk at the front of the classroom and waited patiently. The teacher quickly finished grabbing his things and Jett’s hair turned green as they left the classroom.

“Did you have a good day, Jett?” The man asked as they walked down the hall. “Mhm.” Jett nodded. “Can you tell me three good things that happened today?” The man asked, smiling a little.

“I got up on time.” Jett started counting his fingers, “Then I ate cereal..” Jett tilted his head and the man knew what that meant.

Jett had been alone that morning. Again.

Jett’s hair slowly turned blue and they both stopped walking. “Key..” The man turned to Jett and crouched down some. “Jett.” Jett started to cry and Keegan started to pull out a tissue but Jett had hugged him, making him tense.

“Do they not like me, Key? What did I do?” Keegan hugged the boy back and rubbed his back. “I’m sure they do like you, Jett. You’ve done nothing wrong, they just work a lot, you know.” Keegan said.

“But they never spend time with me, even if they are home.“Jett cried, his hair turning another darker shade of blue. Keegan was becoming really uneasy, “I’m sorry, Jett..” Keegan picked Jett up. “I’ll talk to them if you want..but there’s not much I can do..” Keegan whispered, holding both of their things and walking out of the school.

Keegan had walked to his car and opened the back door to put their things in. Jett didn’t let go but he wasn’t sobbing anymore. Keegan closed the car door before opening the passenger seat. Jett didn’t want to let go as Keegan lowered him down. “Jett, please let go.” Jett whined, and Keegan sat him down but Jett didn’t let go of the sleeves of Keegan’s shirt.

“Do you want me to stay the night?” Jett froze and his hair turned white again. “Then let go. Please.” Keegan said, and Jett slowly let go. His tears stopped and Keegan helped him wipe his face before standing up straight and closing the door.

By the time Keegan had gotten in the car Jett had put on his seatbelt. Keegan turned on his car and put his seatbelt on. Keegan started to drive and Keegan’s hair was still white. Keegan hoped it’d turn yellow or maybe even green when they got ice cream.

Keegan had kept his eyes on the road but then felt his phone being pulled out of his pocket. Keegan glanced at Jett and saw the boy had the phone in his hands. Keegan continued to drive and he made it to the store.

“Do you want to come inside?” Jett shook his head, his eyes completely attatched to a game on Keegan’s phone. “Okay.” Keegan grabbed his hoodie from the back seat and gave it to Jett. Jett quickly put the oversized hoodie on so no one would see him. Keegan got out of the car and Jett got on the floor.

Keegan went in the store and easily found a pack of ice cream cups..but just as he was about to grab it, someone took it from him. Keegan made eye contact with a shorter woman, “I’m sorry. I need this.” Then she quickly left him. Keegan easily grabbed a box of popsicles and went to the cash register. The same woman was in front of him.

Keegan patiently waited and overheard that the woman didn’t have any change. Keegan pulled out a dollar and gave it up. “Oh, my! Thank you so much.” Keegan was honestly getting a bit irritated with the woman. “No problem.” Keegan put the box of popsicles down.

“How can I ever repay you?” The woman asked, “It was just a dollar.” Keegan whispered, and paid for the popsicles. “But that dollar paid for my food. You didn’t have to.” “It was the right thing to do. Have a good afternoon.” Keegan walked out of the store and to his car.

Once Keegan had gotten to his car he had noticed that the woman had followed him. “Are you sure I can’t repay you? There must be something I can do.” The woman said, when Keegan turned around.

“No, it’s alright. Have a good day.” Keegan said, and got in the car. He gave the bag to Jett on the floor but didn’t let Jett move since the woman was still standing near his car.

Keegan smiled and put on his seatbelt after starting the car. The woman backed up and Keegan started to drive, letting Jett quickly get up to sit down and put his seatbelt on. “What was that about, Key?- And what are these?” Jett said, his hair slowly turning red.

“There was a woman who took the last of your favorites..” Keegan said, calmly and Jett got more upset as he crossed his arms. “She didn’t have enough to pay for her things so I did.” “Why?” Jett asked, the tips of his hair turned white.

“It’d make the process go faster. She wouldn’t let it go though and followed me out.” Jett let out a tsk and rolled his eyes.

Keegan sighed, “But you’re not that angry at the popsicles, are you?” He asked, glancing at Jett. “No, I’m fine.” Jett said, and Keegan smiled as he stopped at a red light.

“Good. You can have one early.” Keegan patted Jett’s head and his hair slowly turned white. “Okay.” Jett said, pulling out the box of popsicles.

I looked in horror at the long brown tail that was poking out.

Why..Why did I have a tail?

I heard the bathroom door starting to open and I jumped back into the the bed and hid under the covers.

"Rudy..?" I faked a few coughs. "Are you okay?" I felt the bed dip and Tony pulled the blanket from my head. I coughed some more and Tony put his hand on my forehead.

"You're staying here." He said, immediately. "No..I'm fine." I whispered and he put the blanket back over my head.

"You're sick. You're staying home. End of discussion." Tony said, getting off the bed and going to the door.

I raised up and stopped faking. "Tony.."

"Wanna explain now?" Tony asked, turning around and crossing his arms.

"I..something weird happened." "Something so weird that you had to fake being sick?" Tony asked, getting closer to me.

"Yeah..but I'm actually getting kind of hot.." I nodded and whispered. Tony got on the bed and sat close to me.

"What happened?" Tony asked, and then grabbed my hands because he knew I'd try to cover my face. I whined and he pulled me closer to him, revealing the added body part that made me question if I was human or not.

Tony was staring at it, still holding me close to him. "Rudy..what..and how.."

"I don't know where it came from.." I mumbled, and Tony pulled me onto his lap.

"Does it hurt..?" "Not really.."

"Well, I guess I'm calling in sick.." "No..you should go to work. You cannot miss any more days staying with me. I can take care of myself."

"Don't you want to spend another day with me..?" Tony pouted.

"Don't you want that promotion?" I smiled at him and he huffed.

"Fine..but you better keep your tail at home." Tony said, and I giggled. "Yes, sir."

I should have known..

I should have known you had not changed..

Everyone was right. But I loved you, Ruby.

Well, I thought I did. I can't say I do anymore.

I thought you were pretty for the longest time. Ever since middle school.

But I was blind, deaf, numb, ignorant, and oblivious.

I ignored everything you had done and all the torture you caused.

I defended you when I knew deep down inside..

You were the one who had always been in the wrong.

I thought I was happy....but then I realized, we were never an actual couple. We just acted like we were. We never went on dates or hugged.

You only chose me because I was small. Easy to manipulate.

You thought of it as a joke..and I fell for it.

Was this payback for all the years of pranking me and my brother did to everyone?

That wouldn't make any sense though, none of our pranks hurt anyone. They were just fun pranks..like throwing pies to your face or snowballs being thrown at you. We never meant any harm and everyone knew that. You knew that.

You and Lillian will always be the same. No one will like you. No one will be with you.

Not even the weak and small like me. Not anymore.

I wrote this to you for a reason I don't even know.

But you did not win against me, Ruby Ashfield.

You don't even deserve that last name.

You're just like your grandfather, or your uncle when he was younger.

The Ashfields were monsters until things changed. And then you brought all the suffering and pain back.

It was just a silly crush. But you made me fall. And you abused me. But I never gave up on you. What an idiot I was.

I hope you're happy now..you're all alone.

It was a good day to play outside.

But Ruby did not want to play with her brothers and their friends.

So she waited at the window.

Ruby sat at the window watching her brothers and their friends play in the backyard.

"Hey, Ruby." Ruby turned her head to her two friends, Marilyn and Lillian. She had caught a glimpse of them from the reflection of the window.

"Hey." Ruby smiled and got off the chair to walk over to her friends.

"Let's go ruin their fun, yeah?" "Sure." Lillian agreed and Marilyn rolled her eyes.

I'm a baker and an artist when I'm free.

I spend a lot of time with me family even though I'm busy at the bakery.

Nat visits me more than our brothers do.

We are only at the same table when holidays come around..or when Papa forces us to eat dinner together.

Papa comes every other day to either help me out, taste test, or talks to me for a while. He makes me happy and I'm glad he visits.

"You miss them." "They are my siblings after all." I smiled at Papa.

"I need to help?" Papa asked, finishing the cupcake and drinking some water. I nodded and he smiled at me.

"We'll have a dinner before Christmas, Em." "Thank you, Papa." I said, hugging him.

"No problem, Em."

I have to write about my favorite person, huh?

Well, ok. I can do that.

He’s been the one since day one.

The day we met.

The day I saw him reading in the library.

Eyes in a book.

Mind being filled.

I didn’t know what to do when I saw him.

I forgot I had been playing with my little brother.

But this boy..was enchanting.

Too bad, he caught me staring.

I was nervous on the inside but I stayed calm.

He looked at me with an unhappy look and then left.

Well that was weird, I guess.

“Big brother, are you okay?” “Of course. Let’s go before Ruby gets here.” I told Kappu and he nodded.

I’d see that boy again.

I woke up and felt the floor beneath me. I unconciously got up and walked over to the bathroom but didn’t see a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I fully woke up and backed uo to look at the mirror.

I wasn’t there..

I wasn’t looking back at myself.

I wasn’t human anymore!

I was...I was a...a..fox. A red fox.

I heard Ethan’s footsteps coming closer to the bedroom. He was coming back from making breakfast to wake me. I had to move.

I ran under the bed and panted a bit but shut my mouth when the door opened. “Noah?” I heard, but didn’t answer.

“Noah..?” Ethan had gotten on the bed and I stayed quiet. “Noah?” He repeated my name again, more concerned then the last. He had realized I wasn’t in bed.

And then he started to search for me..but I didn’t dare move. I was way too scared.

I was always scared of being accepted..and now, I’m not even human..

Ethan got more frustrated after some minutes had passed and he had looked everywhere but under the bed. “Dad?”

I really felt weak. I wanted to cry..but the feeling wasn’t new.

Cadence had came in, “What happened? Where’s Peter?”

“I don’t know..he’s not here. I..can’t find him.”

“Well, maybe you haven’t looked everywhere yet.” Oh, no.

I usually liked that the kids were very smart..but I did not want to be found. Especially like this.

“Have you checked under the bed?” “No..but why would he be under the bed?” This isn’t good. This is seriously, not good.

“I mean, you might as well check. They’re always under the bed in the movies.” Cadence said, and Ethan sighed. Oh no. I’m so literally and utterly dead.

Cadence got on his knees and looked under the bed.

We made eye contact so fast. He immediately screamed and scrambled away. “Dad! Dad! There’s something under the bed! I..I think it’s an animal..or what if its a..a monster?!”

Ethan got up and I knew I had to move before he did.

I got ready to run and I sure did when Ethan started to move. I ran out from underneath the bed and ran into the hall. I ran into the living room and saw the front door was closed so there was no way for me to get out that way. I heard Cadence and Ethan coming so I made the descision to run to the girls’ room.

I ran to the room and ran inside before hurrying to close the door. Only Natalia had been inside. I ran quickly beneath her bed, knowing she had heard me.

Natalia got on her knees and looked under her bed. I was about to run again but she slowly reached out to me. Natalia was so calm..it wasn’t unexpected though. My daughter had usually always been calm and quiet but she was the dangerous type.

I couldn’t run when she bravely grabbed me. I didn’t want to hurt my daughter so I let her bring me out into the light. Natalia picked me up in her arms and held me close.

“How did you get in here, pretty fox?” I really don’t know, Nat. I woke up like this.

“Where’d it go?” I heard Ethan from the living room. “Where’d what go?” Elias asked, “There’s an animal in the house! I think it’s a fox!” Cadence said and I heard him start to run again.

I started to struggle and Natalie looked down at me.

‘Don’t let them find me. Please.’ I tried to say with my eyes. “I won’t let them find you. You remind me of my Papa.” I wanted to cry again. My precious little girl. She was surely going to get hugs, kisses, and cuddles when I turned human again. If I ever did turn back.

Natalie hid me under her pillows and the boys came in.

“Nat! Have you seen a red fox?” “A red fox..why in the world would I have seen a fox?” Nat asked liked she truly had not seen a fox.

“Are you sure?” Elias asked. “Why would I lie?” Nat asked, “Let’s just go boys. We have to check on Emma.” Ethan said, and they left. Nat made sure they left before sitting next to me. I moved out from out of her pillows and curled up next to her.

“Where do you think my Papa is, fox?” Nat whispered, running her hands through my fur coat. I got up and jumped off her bed to sit in front of the mirror.

I slowly looked at her and her eyes widened. “P-Papa?” I layed down and whimpered.

“How..did this happen, Papa?” I tilted my head in confusion so she hopefully knew what I meant. “You don’t know, do you?”

“I’m sorry, Papa..I hope you turn back into a human soon..” Nat said and picked me up again.

“Nat, do you-” Emma screamed when she saw Nat holding me. Oh, no.

Natalia did something that surprised me.

She ran and got out the bedroom window. With me in her arms.

“Papa, I’ll keep you safe, no matter what!” I love you, Nat.

Natalia ran and I noticed we were somewhat far from the house. I knew Ethan wouldn’t be happy. But I didn’t really care..

What would you do to a random fox in your room? You’d try to get it out, scare it, or even kill it, wouldn’t you? I wouldn’t want to imagine what Ethan would do.

Natalia had ran into a wooded area and climbed up into a tree.

I really wanted to be human again..I couldn’t handle this. I wished this never happened.

“You’re hungry, aren’t you, Papa? You didn’t have the chance of eating breakfast, did you?” I put my head on her shoulder. “I’ll get you some food soon, Papa.” I heard as I started to fall asleep from exhaustion.

When I woke up, Natalia was sleep. I raised up and noticed it was dark out. I hadn’t eaten all day.

I raised up and noticed I had hands instead of paws. I had my human legs instead little furry ones. I missed having my body but I also missed having a coat of fur. It was a little chilly.

I slid down the tree and got on my two feet. I noticed that I was wearing what I slept in, black shorts and an undershirt. Which meant I had to walk home barefoot in this windy-ish weather.

I sighed and picked my daughter up from her spot in the tree.

I also didn’t have my glasses on so that helped a lot.

I started walking home which wasn’t too far and I knew where we were.

“Papa?!” I heard and looked down at Natalia.

“Hi, Nat.” I smiled and she hugged my neck.

“You’re back to your human form!” “Yeah..just needed some rest I guess.” I said, hugging her back. She wouldn’t let go of my neck so I let her wrap her small legs around my waist.

“I missed you but it was nice for a little I guess.” Nat smiled and I did too. “Yeah, it was huh?”

“Do you think Ethan is worried?” Nat asked, “He’s probably freaking out right now.”

I was right.

I opened the door and everyone looked at us. Caty was here too.

“Noah..” I closed the door, and looked at them.

“Papa..what happened?” Emma asked, walking over and hugging me. “There was an emergency and I had to leave. I found Natalia on the way back.”

“Was it such an emergency to leave without saying anything, taking your phone, and changing into some clothes?” Elias asked, munching on some crackers.

“Yes, it was.”

“Noah, we need to talk.” Ethan said, and Emma let go of me so I could put Nat down. Nat looked at me and I patted her head before following Ethan into the bedroom.

I went to the closet and grabbed one of my red hoodies. “Noah.” “Yes?”

“What actually happened this morning?” I put my hoodie on and grabbed some sweatpants. “I got turned into a fox.” I said, almost laughing about how ridiculous it sounded.

“How?” “I don’t know. I just woke up on the floor in a fox’s body.” I said, with a smile and looked at the mirror.

I ran a hand through my red orange hair and grabbed my glasses. “Why did you hide?”

“Ethan, you know why. What would you and Cadence have done to any animal you would have found?” I asked.

“Running was the better thing to do..running to the girls’ room wasn’t planned but it happened.”

“Why did Natalia lie?” “She didn’t want me to be found. Neither did I. I didn’t want anyone seeing me like that.”

“Why’d it take you so long to come home?” “We were sleeping.” I said, walking to the door. I walked out of the room and went to the living room.

“Hey, Noah. I’m glad you’re back home.” Caty said, and I nodded. Natalia walked over to me and I looked at the twins who were frowning.

“What’s with them?” “They’re mad I won’t tell them what happened to the fox.” Natalia said, holding my hand.

“Hm. Have you all eaten?” “Yeah..we didn’t think you’d come back so soon-” “That’s not true, Papa. Daddy put up leftovers.” Emma said, and walked over to the refrigerator. I went over and opened it to grab the leftovers.

“So, how have you been, Noah?” I turned around after closing the refrigerator. “I’m fine.” Cary had sat at the bar counter to talk to me like she didn't just try to say that there was no food so I would have to figure something out.

“Was everything okay with your emergency?” “Yes..everything turned out alright.” I said, making our plates.

“So, I was wondering if we could take the kids and go shopping tomorrow.” She said, and I stayed calm. “Who’s we?” I asked, warming up our plates.

“You, me, and the kids.” Caty said, “Oh, no. I’m not going anywhere with you.” Cadence said, crossing his arms and I looked at him.

Natalia got our plates out of the microwave.

“Why not? It’s just Peter.” Caty looked at Cadence with a smile on her face.

“No, I’m not talking about Peter. I’m talking about you. You’re not my mom.” Cadence said, and I took our plates to the table with the girls following me.

“Cadence, Peter isn’t your mother either.” Caty said, as we sat down. “He’s more of a mom than you are.” Cadence retorted. I tried to stay calm as I could even though I was freaking out inside my head,

“Elias, sweetie, what do you think?” “I think we’re going shopping with Peter tomorrow.” Elias said, walking over to me.

“I think you should leave, Caty.” I heard Ethan say, coming into the room and I looked at Elias.

“I’m sorry for my behavior..and my attitude, Peter.” He apologized, and I nodded. “It’s alright, Eli.” I said, and he hugged me.

“I’m sorry too..I’d pick you over her any day.” Cadence said, coming over to join the hug. I smiled a little.

“That isn’t fair. You didn’t bare them.” Caty said, getting up from her spot. "I raised them.” I said, looking at Caty.

“Don’t argue, Caty. I don’t have the patience to deal with you. Everyone needs to go to bed. We’re tired. It’d be better if you leave. Now.” Ethan said.

Caty left and we finished our food. “I’ll wash the bowls-” “I’ll help you.” Natalia said to Emma and they walked to the kitchen.

I let Cadence get on my back and I picked Elias up before walking to their room. I put them on their beds but Elias came over when I sat on Cadence’s bed.

There was a silence but I didn’t say anything because I knew that they had wanted to talk.

“P-Papa, I’m sorry.” I heard Cadence stutter and I pulled him closer. “It’s okay, Cadence. It’s okay..I forgive you.” I said, seeing tears run down his face continuously.

Elias put his head on my legs and was quiet but I knew he was crying too. I moved his hair out of his face and kissed his head. “It’s alright..I’m not mad at you.”

“Won’t do it again.” They both said, when I finally got them to calm down. “Okay.” I smiled and kissed their heads again.

After getting the children to sleep, Ethan and I had been laying in bed about to go to sleep.

“If you turn into another animal again tomorrow, don’t leave me, okay? You know I can’t handle you being away.” Ethan whispered and I nodded. “I won’t leave ever again.” I said, and Ethan went to sleep but soon, so did I.

Four days. 2156 words.

This was fun but on to the next one. ;)

I hope you enjoyed.

Liam answered his phone and walked to the kitchen. "Hello?"

"Hey, big bro." Liam let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding in. "I was scared for a moment there, don't scare me like that. What is it, Henry?"

/A few minutes later/

Everett finished his cigarette and Weston walked over to him. "What are you smoking for?" "I needed to calm down. Don't worry too much about it, West." Everett said, looking at Weston.

"Are you sure, Everett?" "Yes, West. What happened with your brother?" Everett asked, taking out another cigarette and holding out for Weston take.

"The usual.." Weston took the cigarette and Everett lit it for him. "Did he get in trouble with the cops?"

"Of course not, he needed help..with some calculations." "Now, you're working with your criminal brother?" "No." Weston said, 'I just helped him with some math he didn't understand."

"Let me guess..he's gonna make a heist." "Everett.." Weston warned, and Everett rolled his eyes.

"We're alone anyway, why are you being like this?" Everett asked. "Everett. Shut your mouth." Everett turned around and saw Hailey standing there.

"Oh, it's just her." "Just me?" Hailey got off the wall.

"What were you two talking about?" "None of your beeswax." Everett said, taking out another cigarette and lighting it.

"Oh, really..? Well, I guess I can just go tell the cops about your conversation.." Hailey said, smirking. "You have no proof." Weston said, looking at her.

"Really?" Hailey took out her phone which had been recording. Weston's eyes widened and Everett rolled his eyes.

"What were you two talking about?" Hailey repeated, "Tsk." "You're not going to get anything out of us, even if you tell the cops. We'd rather die." Everett said, and Weston relaxed.

"Does my brother know?" "You know, Miss Stalker Photographer Maid..we could teach you a lesson right now. No matter your gender." Everett said.

"And do you really believe-" "We don't believe, Miss Hailey Evans. We know."

"You should talk to me more, idiot." "It's not my fault you never call." Henry responded, before running his hand through a male's light blue hair.

"Pfft..well, I have to make dinner-" "You know..we haven't seen our neices and nephews in a while, have we, Eric?" Henry grinned and Eric slowly woke up. "We have not.." Eric whispered.

"Here that, big bro? We're coming over for dinner!" Henry said, and Liam groaned. "Fine..but I already have a full house, please don-" "Already sent." Henry said.

"Henry. Neon is tired. I don't know if he can take more..he needs to rest." "Then we won't mess with him." Henry said, and Eric raised up with his eyes widened.

"You invited one of the loudest and happiest girls in the world, to my house for dinner." Neon said, and Henry looked at Eric. "Well, maybe you need some Erica in your house." Henry said, making Eric giggle and Henry smiled.

Liam was quiet but he sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Fine, but if you mess this up..you better take responsibility for the mess. I am to take care of my husband, I better not be caught up in the crossfire." Liam said, "Will do." Henry said, and then hung up.

That was the end of this short story idea that was given to me by @The Dreamer. I was very happy and pleased with this all even though it wasn't major in the vampire department. (I also apologize for that) I can't wait to continue writing! I hope you enjoyed. You can ask questions about the storyline or characters, I hopefully will be able to answer! This was so fun. Thank you!

When two in the afternoon came around, Liam got ready to leave. “Sir, here’s the schedule for the next few weeks.” Sadie said, “Did you work on this with Hailey and Weston?” Liam asked, leaving his office.

“Yes, sir.” Liam took the papers and looked at them.

Weston would be staying back with Sadie and Hailey that night.

Bentley and Harriet would open up on Thursday morning.

Everett and Weston would close.

Friday morning, Liam and Hailey would open and close.

“Alright. Make sure to let everyone know. See you.” Liam said, and Sadie nodded. Liam smiled and left the library. Liam got in his car and started to drive to the middle school the triplets went to.

Liam happily sighed and turned into the carpool line. He was estatic to see his children. He hadn’t seen them since the night before. That was a very long time to him.

Liam waited and saw his children come out of the school. He smiled as he watched Logan and Leon run to the car. “Come on, come on, come on!” Logan rushed his brother in the front seat and they squished in the seat together. “I’m not sitting back there with that demon.” Logan said, closing the door and buckling up. Leon helped Logan and then looked at his father.

“Logan..I’m sorry..” “Dad..please.”

“Back seat.” Liam said, and Lillian walked over to the car. Leon watched his brother get out of the seat and went to sit in the very back of the car. “Hi, Dad!” Lillian said, with a smile and got in the car. She sat in the middle of the twins’ car seats and pulled out her phone.

“Hi, Lillian..” Liam sighed, as he glanced at the rear view mirror and saw some of Loga’s dark green hair in the third row of the car.

When Liam drove to the house, Lillian talked about her day and Leon stared out the window. Logan was laying down listening to music..until something large and heavy fell on him. “Get up, Logan.” Lillian said, seeing that her seat fell on her brother perfectly. Leon got up and moved the seat off of his brother.

“Are you okay, Logan?” Leon signed and Logan slowly nodded when Leon helped him up. “You mute idi-” “Lillian.” The three of them froze and slowly looked at their father.

“I-I just-” Liam glared at her but was stopped by a pull. Liam turned to Neon and switched immediately.

“Go inside. Now.” Neon said, and everyone was scared for their lives. Liam took the twins and the boys rushed inside. Neon and Lillian were left alone. Outside.

“Papa, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again!” Neon approached Lillian and she moved away. “What are you apologizing for?” Neon signed, “T-The seat..I didn't think..”

“Exactly..you should think before you do.” “I promise! I’m sorry, Papa!” Lillian cried.

“And if you ever..call Leon out of his name ever again...” “I won’t!”

Liam sighed in relief and sat down on the chair in the living room. The other children had already gone in their rooms. Liam got up when Neon and Lillian came in.

If Neon ever used his voice, he was very serious. It was very rare for Neon to use his voice.

"Liam.." Neon whispered, and Liam rushed over. "Yes?"

"Can you make dinner?..I'm tired.." Neon looked at the ground, tiredly. "Of course, yeah, you go get some rest." Liam said, rubbing Neon's arms. Lillian had tried to slip through and escape but Liam caught her arm after Neon walked off.

"Lillian..go apologize to your brothers." Liam said, his gaze darkening. "I-I would- but Logan wouldn't accept it."

"Then you better mean your apology." Neon said, before letting go and she rushed up the stairs. Neon sighed and tried to calm down but then his phone rang, making him alarmed.
