I froze as her words hit me like a bus, I couldn't believe it, "no..." I stepped back, unable to properly process, "Silver are you-" Coal reached toward me but I quickly slapped his hand away, "n-no don't... j-just... just don't-" I turned away and headed to the stairs, "I'm going on a walk... if you follow me... I'll kill you." I left down the stairs and out the front doors. The sunset cause a red-ish hue to fall over the town as I walked off campus.

"Are you stupid!-" "no! I'm not 'stupid' I wanted my fucking brother back, that was the whole reason I came here! Liam said that he got enrolled here and you just had to be here, huh!" Sarah interrupted Coal causing me to jump, "what the fuck?.." I muttered as they glared at each other, "Adrian." I looked to Sarah in confusion, "go get Silver-" "you've got to be kidding me! did you not hear him? I don't want to get killed over something I had no part in." she rolled her eyes and scoffed before heading toward my dorm, "then Liam and I are staying here until he comes back," she waved for Liam to follow her, which he did, I looked to Coal as he sighed, "I guess I'll be explaining the situation to you then... well, come on let's go to your room."

I shouldn't have left. I have no sense of direction, no phone, and now... now it's raining. I would've been able to find my way back by following my scent trail back if it hadn't have started raining and I was so pissed off that I didn't take my eyes off of the side walk the whole time, so now, it's dark, it's cold, it's raining, I'm lost, and the best part, I don't know anyone in this town... now what. I wandered around for a while before finding an open restaurant to go inside of... and by open I mean, they are like 20 minutes from closing, I was dumb enough to take off without any sort of money on me so they started telling me to leave, I refused because they weren't closed just yet so they went to go get the manager, I stood there debating on whether I should leave now or wait for the manager and bolt if said manager looks scary, there was a bit of a commotion from the back and I got a bit scared until I saw Justin, he was following the employee who told me to leave earlier, he looked surprised to see me and immediately came over, "Silver?! a-are you okay? where's Adrian?" he glanced around for Adrian as I tried to find the words to explain everything to him but my emotions were so scrambled I could barely get a few words out, "I-I..." I felt tears well up in my eyes, I wasn't sure why but Justin immediately saw them and picked me up, he carried me into the back where I broke down in tears, I clung to Justin's chest and hid my face so he couldn't see my face, I hate crying in front of people and I hate it when the person I cry in front of can see my face and it was like Justin just, understood? We hadn't talked in a little while but it was like he completely understood me, he gently wrapped his arms around me and held me. Eventually, I was able to stop crying but I didn't want him to let go, I was wet and cold but he was really warm and comforting, "Silver..." he said softly causing me to look up at him, "do... do you have somewhere to stay tonight? it's supposed to storm all night and I don't want you to be left out in that weather..." I lowered my head in thought, "the only place I can go is to Adrian's, but if I go back there they'll be there too..." I debated on going back or not and what I was going to tell Justin, "did you and Adrian get into a fight?" he asked, obviously concerned, "n-not exactly, he has some 'friends' over right now and I don't want to be around them... so I left..." "I see... well, if you'd like you could come stay at my place tonight, I live alone except for my little sister, I got custody of her when her mom got locked up," I sat there for a minute trying to figure out what I was going to do, "I-I don't want to impose-" "Silver..." Justin lightly kissed my forehead, "you won't be imposing, I promise..." he smiled softly at me, "a-alright, if you're sure it's alright, I'd like to stay with you tonight-" "thank god!" he sighed as he rested his head on mine, I let out a small chuckle of confusion, "oh sorry, I just didn't want you to get sick from being out in the storm and I also heard about what happened with your foster dad so you're still not ready to be wondering around so much," "o-oh, I see... well thank you for your concern," Justin chuckled and raised an eyebrow, "have you never been helped out before? you sounded like you didn't know what to say," "shut up! I'm not use to people inviting me into their homes because they're worried about me..." he snickered and shook his head, "well, stay back here while I got lock up, if any other employee's say anything to you tell them I told you to stay back here so they can fuck off, alright," I chuckled and nodded as he let go of me and left the room. When Justin returned I was trying not to fall asleep, "you seem pretty tired, when we get to my place you can take a shower and I'll bring you some clean clothes then you can sleep in my room-" "I-I can sleep on your couch," I argued, "the couch isn't very comfortable," "I slept on a hard wood floor for most of my life, I'll be fine, you're already letting me stay over so I don't want to burden you any-" "you aren't a burden, Silver..." he interrupted. I stood there silently for a moment and just stared at the floor, "Silver..." Justin stepped toward me and lifted my chin so I was looking at him, "you know that right..." I avoided eye contact by looking everywhere but his face, "no matter what, you will never be a burden to me... even if you got paralyzed and I was the only person taking care of you, because I'd be glad to be able to see you every day," I felt a slight heat across my cheeks and heard Justin chuckle, "come on shorty, let's get going" he let go of my chin and walked over to a set of lockers and opened one, "before we leave I'm going to call my sister and let her know what's going on," "alrighty," he placed his bag on one of the tables and pulled out his clothes before heading to the bathroom. when he came out of the bathroom he was no longer in his work clothes, he was wearing a black sleeve-less shirt and a pair of gray sweat pants, "yeah whatever... uh-huh sure..." he chuckled as he placed his work clothes in the bag and held his phone to his ear with his shoulder, "alright, well I'll see you soon, make sure to unlock the door in 5 minutes, no sooner cause I don't want some random person walking into our house... alright, love you, see you soon... bye..." he pulled the phone away from his ear as he hung up the phone, "why does your sister have to unlock the door, don't you have keys?" "nope, she has the only key, it keeps me from losing it like last time," I started laughing, "you lost your house key?!" "hey don't make fun of me squirt! for your information, keys are hard to keep track of!" he stuck his tongue out at me in a childish manner causing me to laugh even more, "alright, we should get going though, come on," he walked over to me and picked me up bridal-style and started to walk toward the back door.

I checked my phone again... 23:46... I looked to the door from my spot on the couch, "It's raining, maybe I should go look for him-" "isn't he going to kill you if you do~" Sarah teased, "oh shut up!" I snapped at her, "I know you aren't very worried about him since you barely knew him but I-" "oh I know you didn't just take it there, cracker!" Sarah raised her voice as she stood up, "I have been looking for him for years but you. you get separated from him and you lose it, and when he tells you he doesn't remember you, you don't even have the balls to tell him who you are, the only reason you reached out to Coal was because you lost him and didn't know what to do so fuck you!" I sat there in silence and stared at the floor, "Sarah, that was to far-" "go choke on a fat one, Coal, he started it so I finished it." "Sarah, sit the fuck down, and shut up." Coal's voice turned harsh toward her and she flopped down in the couch, "whatever..."
(Silver's pov)
I laughed as Justin began making another one of his weird faces and began making weird noises, he chuckled as he opened the door to his house, "Stella! we're here!" with that I heard little footsteps coming from upstairs and were soon barreling down the stairs, "I thought you said it was going to be a boy, she doesn't look like a boy at all, I mean you could've just told me it was going to be your girlfriend instead of trying to cover it up by saying it was a 'guy friend'-" "Stella." "what? I just want to know why you tried to cover it up like that," Justin sighed and looked to me, "sorry about her, she's 14 and thinks she knows everything." I chuckled, "it's alright, but do I seriously look that much like a girl?" Justin laughed and his sister stared at me in confusion, "oh- um, hello! Stella, right?" she nodded with a smile, "well it's nice to meet you Stella my name is Silver, and no I am not a girl, nor am I dating your brother-" "yet," "in your wet dreams, Justin." I snickered until I felt Justin's arms wrap around my waist, "I mean, I'd love to bring all those 'wet dreams' to reality if you'd-" "no! not in front of me you don't!" Stella yelled as she threw a shoe at Justin, hitting him smack in the face, "nice throwing!" I chuckled as I high-fived Stella, "I've had quite a bit of practice." she giggled in response, "I'm going to fucking strangle you-" "kinky-" I quickly covered my mouth as I realized I had said that aloud, we all stood there in silence, Justin and Stella both staring at me, I felt me face get hot from embarrassment, "the fuck did you just say?!" Stella burst out in laughter as Justin looked confused as hell, "oh my god you're hilarious!" "I didn't mean to say that aloud though!" Stella fell to the floor in laughter as Justin stared at me for a little while longer before speaking, "I-I'm sorry the fuck! I thought that you were a vanilla!" now it was my turn to laugh, "I didn't mean to say that, it just kind'a slipped out, but no, I'm not a vanilla, far from it." after I said that I immediately regretted it, Justin got his pervy smirk going and I knew from that, that I shouldn't have said anything, "okay if you're not a vanilla then what are you into-" "nope, not going there with you, especially since your sister's right there," Justin began giving me puppy-dog eyes, "please~ I need more fuel for my- I mean- I want to know you better~" he whined. Stella sighed and started up the stairs, "I'll be in my room." "fine..." I sighed in defeat, "hell yeah!" Justin threw his arms in the air as he erupted with joy, "but... I have a few rules... first, there will be absolutely no physical contact at all unless I say it is alright. Second, I do not 'have' to say anything that I don't want to. Third, and final rule, you have to tell me yours before I tell you mine. Understood?" Justin chuckled, "damn, alright that sounds like a deal to me, little kitty~" Justin started pulling me to the living room as he spoke, "fuck off, don't call me that, fuck head." "well you never said pet names were off limits." I rolled my eyes as we sat down on the couch, "well now they are." "oh come on, it was cute, especially since you turned so red from it-" "I-I did not!" I interrupted causing Justin to laugh, "alright- alright if you insist, but you want me to start this off right?" I nodded in response causing Justin laugh once more, "to embarrassed to speak?" "oh shut up and just start already." Justin held his hands up in surrender with a snicker, "okay jeez... hmm... where to start... well, I'm completely dominant, I don't like being a bottom I would much rather be top, I'm a bit of a sadist, not full on though, bondage, sensory deprivation, and, of course, gagging... alright, that's about 98% of my kinks, the last few I'd rather not say. Now, I believe it's your turn pipsqueak, this should be interesting..." "yeah yeah whatever..."

Sarah was slouched into the couch trying to make it look like she wasn't worried but she couldn't control the constant bouncing of her knee, I sighed as I looked at my phone, "Silver took off at 22:03... and it is now... 04:37-" "and? what the hell do you want us to do about it?!" Sarah sat up and raised her voice trying to hide her concern behind annoyance, "I want you and Liam to call the others, everyone except father, understand?" Sarah rolled her eyes and scoffed as she got off the couch, heading to the door, "come on Liam... we've got orders..." Liam quickly jumped up and followed her out the door. I looked to Adrian... he was obviously not doing well... he was sat on the edge of his cushion, his l-bows resting on his knees and his face hidden in his hands, "Adrian..." he looked miserable, almost how he looked when we first met, but worse, "...they let him out..." Adrian's words were just barely audible and I wasn't sure what he meant, "e-excuse me?" "Allan... I've been keeping tabs on him since that day and they released him on parole almost a week ago..." I froze as I realized why he was so worried, "what!" I couldn't believe it, "b-but they said 10 years for parole! i-it's only been barely 7! why'd they-" "I don't know..." I felt my chest tighten as panic started to set in, "I-I'm going to- to tell Sarah a-and Liam, just- uh, just stay here f-for now, we'll figure out what to do-" I shot up and ran out the door, "yeah... alright, see you guys soon... mm-hm, bye." Sarah hung up the phone but Liam was still on his phone, when she turned to me she raised an eyebrow at me and snickered, "we've got Leo and Leon on board but you look like your coming apart, what's going on-" "t-they released Allan almost a week ago a-and what he said to Silver when they took him i-it- I-" I clenched my fists, my whole body was shaking and Sarah noticed, "what? but isn't the minimum 10 years?" she looked confused for a moment before horror slowly began to appear, "...Silver." Sarah stared at me before speaking, "please tell me this is just a sick joke to shake us up..." I stayed silent, "who told you this?.."
(Silver's pov)
"well it seems we've got almost all the same kind of kinks, huh pipsqueak... but what the hell is 'forniphilia'?" I felt my face get hot as I lit up a bright red, "w-what- d-did I actually say that!?" Justin burst out laughing, "you were so concerned with getting over with this that you didn't even register what you were saying!" he continued laughing until I hit him with one of the couch pillows, "d-don't laugh you idiot!" "fine, fine, I surrender, but what is it anyway?" I glared at him for a minute before looking away, "I'm not going to tell you because it's embarrassing and I'd rather not discuss these things any farther..." Justin and I sat silent for a while until he chuckled and pulled out his phone, "I know! I'll just look it up-" "wh-what- no! don't!" I jumped up and attempted to take his phone from him but he threw himself over the back of his couch and started to run, "damn it, Justin!" I ran after him, following either him or his scent from room to room until we made it to the kitchen, when I entered, Justin was standing still, staring at his phone, "...what the fuck?" he mumbled, causing me to look to the floor, "yeah... I know, it's weird a-and... and really fucked up..." we both stood in silence for quite a while before Justin finally spoke, "Silver... listen, I'm not going to judge you on the type of shit you're into, just because I haven't tried it doesn't make it 'weird' or 'fucked up' it's what you like, it doesn't matter what other people think anyway, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters..." I was shocked, to say they least, but I still couldn't bring myself to look at him, I knew he was being sincere, but I just couldn't. Justin walked over to me and stopped right in front of me, "Silver..." I felt his fingers slide under my chin as he lifted my head, he smiled softly as we made eye contact, "it's alright..." I felt his other arm wrapping around my waist as he slowly pulled me towards him, neither of us breaking eye contact until I glanced to his lips, I'm guessing he saw it because he smirked as I did so, I quickly looked back to his eyes, "nervous, pipsqueak?" I couldn't respond, I didn't know how, I just held eye contact with him as his face, ever so slightly, crept closer to mine, "aren't you going to pull away, pipsqueak?" I hesitated for a moment, giving myself a chance to look at my options but I already knew what I was going to say before, and after, doing so, "a-and... and what if I don't?" he looked shocked for a moment before his sly smile appeared on his face again, "if you don't... I'm going to kiss you... and, if you let me, I might do a bit more..." he got closer as he spoke, "is that so?" I'm not sure what came over me, it was weird, but, felt oddly, right?... "yeah, it is..." Justin responded as my eyelids slid closed and his lips softly pressed against mine, it was strange, I would like to think that I would never do anything like this, but this, with Justin... it just felt, different. Our kiss slowly turned into a slow, soft, make-out, not like the one with Adrian at all, it was, well... I can't even explain it, it was lovely, until, "uh-uh! not in the kitchen! that's gross! I eat in here you know!" we jumped and quickly separated as Stella began to pour herself a glass of chocolate milk, "jesus, Stel, you scared the shit out of me!" Justin sighed, "pfft- bitch please, you think you're scared, I'm fucking traumatized now-" "hey! watch your mouth!" "yeah, whatever, mom." I snickered as she walked off with her glass, "are you laughing at me, pipsqueak?" "maybe~" I chuckled in response causing Justin to roll his eyes and smile before checking his phone, "we should probably go to bed, its pretty late-" the sudden, and extremely loud, clap of thunder cut Justin off and sending me under the kitchen table to hide, my ears dropped and my tail wrapped around my wrist, "Silver?" Justin crouched down beside the table, "are you alright?" I just nodded in response to his question, he sighed and gave me a soft smile, "alright, come here," he extended his arms to me, "you can sleep with me tonight, alright?" "o-oh-uh n-no, I'm fine with- with the c-couch." he sighed and lowered just one of his arms, "alright, I wont argue with your stubborn ass but you can come join me whenever you want, now come on, let's get you tucked in." I nodded and took his hand as I crawled out from under the table.

"and it looks like Jace comes in last with a time of 2 hours and 12 minutes!" the two boys voices lined up exactly, seeming as though it was just one person, "Leo. Leon. this is not the time to be messing around. Coal called us all in under emergency circumstances. so knock it off." Martin's monotone, yet commanding, voice shut the younger two boys up quite fast but not for long, "what took you so long, Jace?" Leo and Leon asked as they leaned toward him, "well, when I was told it was an emergency I hoped if I took my time you guys would've figured out whatever-the-hell it is by the time I got here so I wouldn't have to do anything," he shrugged as he spoke.
From oldest to youngest, in our family, it goes: Me(Coal)-29; Martin-28; Sarah-28; Jacob-28; Jace-27; Samantha(Sam for short)-26; Jaque-25; Alex-23; Leo-22; Leon-22; Liam-20; Yory-20; Mason-19; Yuri-19; then Silver-19. Martin, Sarah and Jacob, are triplets. Leo and Leon, are twins. Liam and Yory, are twins. Mason, Yuri and Silver, are triplets. The ones who showed up were the ones of us left, Me, Martin, Sarah, Jacob, Jace, Jaque, Alex, Leo, Leon, Liam, and Yory. Sam went missing 3 years ago and was assumed to be dead about a year ago. Mason was killed 6 years ago during a mission I gave him due to misinformation given to us by an anonymous source. And Yuri... she was killed bye Silver about 19 years ago, it was the day people came to take him away, he was 2 months and a week old, when they showed up, Silver had tried to get away from them, but, something happened that my father wouldn't speak of, none of us kids had seen what happened, just Silver and my father, and when we asked him what happened all he would tell us was that Silver was a monster and had killed Yuri.
Everyone stared at me as I thought about how to word what was going on. I sighed and looked at Sarah, "Sarah, Liam and I, found Silver..." Alex's eyes lit up with excitement, for the whole 2 months Silver lived with us Alex was the one he was closest with, "r-really! where is he!" he started to try to go into Adrian's dorm, "he's not here... that's what I'm trying to say... he left when he found out who we were, and what's even worse, Allan was released from prison last week... and Silver's been missing for..." I checked my phone once again, "...8 hours and 53 minutes-" "and you called us here this late why?!" Alex raised his voice and stepped toward me, "watch your tone Alex-" "no! fuck you, Jace! he could've called earlier! especially since Allan's out-an-about!" Alex turned back to me with a death-glare and a scowl, "listen, Alex, I know your upset but we didn't know about Allan until right after we started to call." "well how'd you find out then?" he was still pretty pissed, I didn't want to tell him Adrian told us and have him freak out at Adrian, "w-well, we-" "I told him." Adrian shut the door behind himself as he stepped out, "you." Alex hissed in disgust as he stepped toward Adrian, grabbing him by the shirt, "why the hell didn't you say anything earlier," Adrian replied to Alex with silence. Alex search Adrian's expression the best he could, finally he let out a scoff, "you know better than any of us what that piece of shit did to Silver yet you still said nothing for that long..." Alex released Adrian with a slight shove, "and you said you loved him... funny joke." Adrian stood with his head down as Alex turned to me, "so you called us here to find him, right?" I hesitated and glanced to Adrian as he went back inside his dorm, "uh- y-yeah, right, sorry we got a little off track there." I cleared my throat as I looked at everyone, "a couple hours after Silver left it began raining and it was storming all night and has been on-and-off sprinkling since about 06:45, Adrian said that Silver is terrified of thunder and lightning so if he was outside all night then it would've been utter hell for him so he will most likely be hiding, we can't use our sense of smell because of the rain but we need to find him, that's why I called all of you instead of just a few of you. now, that's all the information I can give you so lets go find him." with that everyone took off, and I turned to Adrian's dorm-room-door, I sighed and stepped inside, "Adrian..." I looked in the kitchen and living-room area, which I could see from the door, but he wasn't there, I began walking in the direction of his bedroom and bathroom, "Adrian, Alex was just upset... he didn't mean what he said..." I looked in the open bathroom door, but nothing, I turned to his bedroom door, it was shut, but there was no sound of any sort coming from inside, I knocked on the door... no answer, "Adrian come on... you know what... Adrian I'm coming in." I grabbed a hold of the nob and twisted it, the door opened and I stepped in, I looked around but he wasn't in his room and his window was open, "shit..."
(Silver's pov)
The thunder roared loudly causing me to jump and hide under the blanket Justin had left with me, it had barely been half an hour and I was already rethinking the choice I made, "...fuck it." I quickly got up, wrapping the blanket around myself and bolting up the stairs, I followed his scent to the left hallway and the farthest door on the right, I lightly knocked before slowly opening the door, I took a couple steps into his room before hearing him chuckle from his bed that sat directly across the room from the door, he sat up and looked directly at me, "s-sorry I-I... I just-" "come here, pipsqueak." he snickered, I closed the door and took a step toward him when a bright white light lit up the room quickly followed by a loud crack of thunder, and with that I ran to the bed and threw myself into Justin's arms and buried my face in the crook of his neck as I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck, he shifted around for a bit until I felt his blanket slide up my back and stopping a little over my shoulders, "there we go, sleep well, pipsqueak." Justin wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close to him as I slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up I still had my arms wrapped around Justin's neck, I slowly let go of him and tried to get up but his arms stayed tightly wrapped around my waist, he was wearing a pair of sweatpants but he was shirtless, when I realized that I felt my face heat up as I stared at his chest. I laid there for a moment longer before I started squirming and trying to get loose, I felt his grip tighten before one of his hands grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me back into him, "stay..." he groggily said, "no, I have to go to the bathroom, shit-head." he chuckled as a small smile crept onto his face, "alright, but come right back when you're done, you're really warm." I rolled my eyes as he let go, "it's right across the hall." he mumbled as I walked out the door, as soon as I opened the door Stella stepped out of the bathroom, we stared a each other for a minute as I tried to think of something to say, "I knew it!" Stella shouted, "w-wait- no-no-no-no-no i-it's not what it looks like!" I watched her eyes glide down to my neck and rest there for a while, "uhh-huhh..." she brought out her phone and snapped a picture of me, "well..." she looked at the photo before putting her phone away and looking back at me with a chuckle, "...It sure looks like it." with that I watched her walk back to her room, "what the?...-fuck I gotta piss!" I quickly stepped into the bathroom. After I was done doing my business I began washing my hands but stopped when I looked in the mirror, "Justin I swear to fucking god!" my neck, along with my shoulders and collar bones, were littered with dark purple and red hickeys. I threw open his bedroom door but he was already sitting up and smirking at me, "you like'em, pipsqueak?" he snickered as I tried to force away my smile, "fuck off." I muttered back before grabbing one of his pillows off his bed and throwing it at him, "oh, so we're playing that game now are we?" I chuckled as he threw a pillow at me.
After we were completely tired I curled up in Justin's blankets as he left to take a shower. I laid there for a while before deciding to be a snoopy-bastard, I could see a porcelain jewelry box on his dresser and was curious, I hopped off his bed and made my way over to his dresser, it was about 4 or 5 inches taller than me, I stood up on my toes and grabbed the box that was a little smaller than my hand, I opened it and almost dropped the box, inside, was a small, hand made, bracelet... the bracelet was made of three different strips of fabric, it had a strip of black leather... a strip of gold-colored silk... and a thin royal blue strip of yarn... exactly like the one I had...
