Voices.

I was floating in a sea of darkness and voices.

Arimid. Valkros. Nir. Lazuli.

What? They were a bunch of nonsense words.

"What- Who are you?" I ask.

"Vladimira. I am your protector,"

"What?"

"Vladimira, awaken,"

"What?" I'm really confused.

"Wake up,"

* * *

I breathe in deeply.

I'm lying on a cold flat hard surface.

And there were voices- again, but these were familiar. Distant but they soon came into focus as my ears adjusted. My eyes still closed.

"Young Rins, there's still one thing I cannot comprehend. What in this world were you thinking?"

Lorn- it had to be Lorn with five other people- all male.

Warm sunlight streamed against my face. My eyes remain closed.

"Are you kidding me??!"

"Same thing I was about to say," another voice murmured. It was familiar- Vladimir.

Then arguing broke out. A lot of it.

"Silence," that was one lethal voice came from my left. More like- right next to me.

Everyone shut up immediately. It continued- Lorn, really but I will continue saying it for my own pleasure- "Each of you are to be blamed for your own actions and therefore whatever consequences falls on your head. Is that clear?"

No answer. They must've nodded.

Silence. I wanted to laugh so bad.

Thy thought it/Lorn was scary.

"So....." another voice- Alucard- says breaking the awkward silence( it must be Zade o do anything slightly related to the word awkward.) "if Mira doesn't wake up, I get to kill Darius right?" It wasn't a question.

And another argument broke out.

Then laughter. Darius. "I didn't know I was so popular,"

Yup popular for being and winning the award for 'Most Hated Relative of the Year '. Everyone was arguing over who got to kill him.

My eyes opened adjusting to the light slowly. Staring up at red. Red eyes inspecting, roving over my body.

"You're awake and alive," Lorn said calmly as gasps filled the room.

Skillet, yeah I know," I murmured, wincing at the stinging pain in my neck.

It's expression was quizzical "It's a rock band,"

Zade was beside me in an instant "She's alive, congrats!" he says cheerily to the triplets " you just won yourself a Cheat Death Card," he finishes coldly sending shivers down my spine.

Vladimir is on his feet. His eyes roving over my body. Why do they keep staring at me like that?

I feel a prickling sensation in the back of mind and I glare at Lorn.

He pulls out of my mind.

Then I realize I was lying on Lorn's desk and my arm no longer hurts, it's numb. Zade probably healed me. Unknownst to most our relatives, Zade has healing powers in the form of radiesthesia or energy healing I'll explain later or someone else will.

I swing my legs of the desk and attempt to stand. Sadly, my legs crumble beneath me. Zade catches me. "You're too weak to stand," he whispers after my second failed attempt. My back starts to hurt.

My gaze lands on the triplets as Zade holds me up gently.

Calm. Smug. Angry. Three different expressions.

The angry one talks "Why am I getting punished for something I didn't do?" his voice was quiet.

"Damien, we've been over this. You were still part of it. You three may leave," he says turning to us , then to the triplets "you three remain,"

A coat of ice covers the room. I shiver.

Juniour picks me up and carries me out, with Zade following.

When I look around we somehow reappeared in my room.

He lays me gently on the bed. "Don't move,"

Zade breathes out "I think I saw my life flash before my eyes! Lorn is pissed,"

"Tell me about it," Juniour sighs " that was one of the most awkward things in my life. I give three on my Top Ten,"

"One," I say " the room was too cold,"

"I think I needed a jacket," Zade jibes.

We all start laughing.

Zade stops abruptly "But seriously," I look at him "Mira, take your clothes off,"

Shock hits me like a wall. "Say what?"

"Take your clothes off,"

"No way in hell," I say through gritted teeth.

"Thought you'd say that," Zade grins "That's why I brought backup,"

What? I stare at him puzzled. Then realization hits me like a brick wall again. He wants me to be confused, therefore- distracted.

I sit up about to jump out of bed- wincing.

Before, I can breathe my arms are pinned above my head gently and my body's pinned to the bed as well.

Juniour is pinning me down standing to my left. I struggle but its no use I can't move.

I swallow, a lump of fear in my throat.

Knives, medical tools- scissors, scalpels, surgical knives- start materializing in the air.

Zade hums snatching up a pair of scissors in mid-air, his other hand reaches into his pocket and pulls out his I-POD, Meg and Dia- Monster blasting from it.

He never goes anywhere without his music.

Zade walks slowly towards me. Each step my fear builds. Wouldn't you be?

Psycho siblings + inability to move + bing surrounded by floating knives in a semi-dark room = bad sign.

His powers are awakening. Zade's eyes flash from red to green - activating his Arias powers- darkening the room.

He's next to me green- eyed and snipping the scissors.

They're gonna torture! HELP!

I can't talk, there's a mental block hindering me from screaming. Damn you, Vlad!

"Well, lets start," Zade says, snipping the scissors one more time.

Sweat trickles down my face and I start squirming.

Zade holds me down and snips my uniform blazer off, throwing it to the floor. Then snips my under clothes, stopping just above my ribs and cuts a V-neck.

"Mira, stop squirming," Zade murmurs.

Like hell I will. My face flushes red.

"What're you embarrassed about?" he continues. "Its not like you have anything to hide. You don't have boobs or anything," he smiles to himself.

That's it! He's a dead man!

I lash out with a kick. Vlad straps my legs down.

"That was uncalled for dude," Juniour sighs.

Both their eyes narrow at my body.

I now notice. I'm covered in bruises, in particular a large blue bruise on my chest and on my ribs.

"Well it looks like I'll have to perform surgery," Zade sighs.

I yelp and try to squirm away. He grabs a levitating scalpel. Juniour holds me down firmly.

I'm really scared now.

"Just kidding," Zade says "Tell me if this hurts," his hand has a soft green glow and lands gently on my ribs. I shake my head.

My body's still numb, I feel nothing.

He applies pressure. I scream like hell, thrashing around. NO mental block could stop that scream.

I'm free! Vlad lets go.

"Mira, if you want me to heal you, you have to stay still! It'll hurt a little. But what the hell did Darius do to you?"

Vlad pins me back down.

"Brother, it hurts. It ^:(*@ing HURTS!" I scream tears streaming down my face.

I'm so tired now. I stop moving- stop struggling.

Zade's hands press down more. I wince. In five seconds, the pain disappears.

He moves to my chest next. The bruise disappears.

Vlad lets me go.

Zade takes my arm gently and I scream as I hear a pop and a crack.

When he finally finishes, his hand moves from my head to my toes. His eyes closed, concentrating, then flips me on my stomach and does it again.

"What the hell did Darius do?" he says "you're fine now, just a few bruises, they'll heal. Why, though, didn't you feel the first time I touched your ribs?"

"I don't know, I couldn't feel. My body was numb," I say weakly.

But now after him touching me, everything hurts and feels tired.

Vlad and Zade exchange looks.

"What?" I say weakly.

"Nothing. Sleep," Juniour says gently.

Taking my clothes of and putting me to bed.

The rom brightens as Zade's eyes revert to normal. The tools disappear one by one and he turns off the music.

"What were those for' I ask my voice low. I'm so tired and weak right now "Partially because I thought I had to operate, your rib was broken and could've punctured your lung," he smiles "and partially to scare you,"

Annoying, right? He did all that to scare me.

Juniur leaves, Zade about to follow but bends and kisses my forehead "Sleep," he murmurs before disappearing.

That was not a display of affection, h just blocked the part of my brain receptive to pain, lessening my anguish a bit. It's kinda like medicine, without the pills. Physical contact is essential.

I soon let the darkness take over and fall asleep.
