Monica's POV
"What!? What did I do to upset lady Monica!?" Kurisutaru questioned, oblivious to what was going on.
A chuckle was heard from the door, so we all turned to see Hebi who was weakly smiling. "Hey, I came to join the party~"
"Hebi!!" Dusk and I cheered in unison.
Hebi chuckled, as he sat down on the bed in between Kurisutaru and I. Kurisutaru merely lowly growled and looked, while Hebi smirked satisfied with Kurisutaru's reaction.
"Well, I might as well take my leave...." Kira smirked, waving his hand of and exiting the room.
We all watched Kira disappear down the hallway, and when his steps were out of earshot, Hebi turned to Kurisutaru. "So....what happened in the event with Roman torchwick?"
"What do you mean?" Kurisutaru questioned, furrowing a brow towards Hebi.
"....why did you suddenly lose control?" Hebi hissed, staring intently at Kurisutaru.
Kurisutaru gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "I....do not know....what you are talking about...." Kurisutaru replied, trying to act dumb but failing.
Hebi grabbed kuri's arm. "I know you're lying to me...."
Kuri scoffed and looked away. "No I am not lying...."
"Okay, I'm just gonna say it! When Kurisutaru's skin comes into contact with the moonlight, kuri kind of loses control of himself...." I cut into their conversation, while sighing.
"Lady Monica!" Kurisutaru's voice became high pitched.
"What, I'm just trying to prevent a full on fight from happening." I shrugged, smirking in the process.
Hebi made an 'O' shape with his mouth. "So that's why you went 'berserk' yesterday-"
"-I knew I couldn't trust you...." Hebi was cut off by a voice coming from the door. We all faced the door to see....
Ben!!
"Ben!? What are you doing here!?" I questioned, quite shocked to see my brother in beacon academy- since he's 24 years old. (The picture below is Ben)
A chuckle escaped ben's lips. "The school called me and father, to notify us that you were found unconscious." He explained. "So I told father that I would go and check up on you."
"You came all the way from Mistral, just to check on me?" My voice cracked, tears in my eyes. "You're the best brother ever!" I yelled, pouncing on Ben.
Ben chuckled, turning his attention to Kurisutaru and grimacing towards him. I gasped and hit Ben on the head.
"Ouch! What was that for, little fox!?" Ben whined, rubbing his head.
"Stop making faces at Kurisutaru! He's apart of our family too you know!" I complained.
"Are you sure??" Ben whispered. I puffed my cheeks out and my eyes became slits. I hit him on the head again and crossed my arms.
"Ah! Okay fine...." Ben mumbled under his breath.
"Wow Ben! Your little sister acts just like a mother towards you!" A voice giggled from behind Ben.
"Oh, shut up lavender...." Ben grumbled.
"Huh? Ben, who is that?" I questioned, furrowing my brow.
"Hello!~~" a girl poked her head into the room, with a big grin.
"Didn't I tell you to wait outside?" Ben questioned the girl who I assumed was named 'lavender'.
"But Ben, you weren't specific enough. 'Outside' could be anywhere." A girl who looked just like a toy maker stated, entering the room.
"Yeah, outside could mean; out side the school, or outside of a room!" A boy wearing all black added, entering the room after the two girls had entered.
Ben groaned. "Whatever...."
"So! Is this you're sister!?" The boy wearing all black stared at me, smiling as if he were a Cheshire Cat.
"Yes...." Ben sighed.
"Really!? Hello dear, my name is umber and this is my younger- twin sister; lavender!" The girl who looked like a toy maker introduced herself- and the girl who had entered the room first. (The girl below is umber)
(The next picture below is lavender)
"I can introduce my self, umber!" The girl named 'lavender' pouted.
"Anyway, my name is Ebony~" the male who was wearing all black, sang, laughing a little. (The boy below is Ebony)
I smiled nervously. "Hello Ebony, lavender & umber! It's a pleasure to meet you...."
"Aww! Ben, your younger sister is so cute! I'm sure mother will take a liking to her!" Ebony yelled, laughing.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Oh dear, don't worry about him- he's lost all of his screws!" Umber chuckled, nervously.
"Yeah, he's insane in the membrane!" Lavender added.
I made an 'O' shape with my mouth, as Ebony's laughter began to die down a little bit. Ben sighed and said, "well, I need to talk to my little fox- so if you all would excuse me-" Ben was cut off by Ebony. "Oh don't worry, we will get going."
"And THIS time, do not wait outside of the room- because this conversation is private!" Ben fumed.
"Okay, okay!" Ebony, lavender and umber said in unison, putting their hands up in surrender. Hebi, dusk and Kurisutaru didn't say a word, they just got up and left....
When my team and Ben's team had left, Ben closed the door and sat on the bed- so I sat next to him. He sighed before he began to talk, "what happened to your eye?"
I gasped. "How could you have seen my eye, I covered my eye with my hair!"
"I saw your eye when your hair swished out of your face when you jumped onto me...." Ben answered bluntly.
"Please don't tell father!!" I begged.
Ben chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't tell....so anyway, what happened? Why was you found unconscious?"
I sighed and explained everything- about when everything went all fuzzy and I lost control for some reason....
Ben was now deep in thought. "I wonder....I wonder if you are one of 'them'...."
"Who is 'them'!? Honestly, you're the second person to say that!" I screamed.
"The second??" Ben repeated, furrowing a brow towards me.
"Yes, the second! Weren't you listening when I talked about how torchwick said something along the lines of, 'It looks as if I've found another one of them....'!!!!"
"Oh....oh yeah...." Ben chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "But then....this means that Roman will most likely target you...."
My eyes turned into slits, and I hit him upside the head. "Big brother, stop lamp shading my question!!"
"Ah! Okay, okay! Why do you always have to be so violent!? You were kawaii when you were younger, and now look at you...." Ben playfully stated. "Anyway....Remember the story I used to tell you, when you were younger-before you went to bed?"
"You mean the one with the four maidens??" I questioned, kind of unsure.
Ben nodded. "Well-"
I cut him off. "Are you saying that I'm one of the four maidens!?"
Ben was a bit startled by my tone of voice. "It could be a possibility, but I'm not quite sure yet...." he cleared his throat. "However, there are still 3 other maidens who Roman may be after as well....and they might be right under our noses...." Ben mumbled the last part to himself, however I heard what he said.
As we stayed in silence for a little while, I looked outside to see the clouds dominating the sky, as it started to rain.
I have a terrible feeling that something bad will most likely happen in the near future....
