I'm freaking late.

Mary-Lynette Carter hurriedly came out of her room a grim of expression is in her face. What a clock? She bought that alarm clock from a thrift store so that she can still star gaze during the night and still be ready for school. And now I'm late. She only got twenty minutes to get ready.

"Hey, Mary-Lynette!" her step mom, Claudia bellowed from the kitchen. "Your brother is waiting! You need to go to school in time!"

"I'll be there!" she shouts back as she fidgets through the buttons of her school blouse. She quickly pulls up her hair into a clean bun and dashed down the stairs to eat some go

od 'ol granola bars.

"Hurry up, Mare," her brother, Mark is casually sitting on the kitchen counter, enjoying how his sister rushes into things this morning. Mary-Lynette is usually in control of the

situation, always organized. Today isn't one of those days. "You got Garret as first period."

"I know, I know, you don't have to remind me," she said as she takes a long gulp of milk straight from the carton. She throws the thing back to the fridge then grabs her brother's arm, "common' we will be late!"

Ash Redfern is a senior in Constantine High School. He's very popular in school, often being called as a "hottie" or a "cutie" with his ash blond hair and always changing eyes that he inherited from his late mother. The girls want him while the guys hate his guts. He can't blame them. As the assigner of the biggest underground society in Constantine, the Nightworld, people who were tough find themselves tremble whenever they see him.

That's the case in school. But it is different in the house.

"JADE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He heard a chuckle at then end of the hallway. Ash sighed then runs towards it, ignoring the gasps of the young house keepers who frequently wanting him to be seen half naked.

This is their lucky day.

Ash is running in the Redfern mansion, wearing only his gray boxers. Sweat is forming on his well-built chest he try to counter his little sister, Jade whose now kidnapping his uniform.

He finally saw her on the living room, sitting on the fine couch, her breathing ragged from running. Her blond hair is dripping on the side of her face, "Nice boxers Ash!" she laughed freely.

Ash lazily crossed his arms "Gimme that." His voice is soft but has the edge of steel in it."

Jade laughed once more. She raised her hands on the air then screamed, "GO KESTREL!"

His other sister, Kestrel, came inside. She's from the outside and the smile that she's wearing is very vicious. "Hey, Ash," she said pleasantly, "You got a visitor…."

Suddenly two men came inside. It's James Rasmussen and John Quinn.

"Oh God, Ash!" James put a hand over his eyes, "Please put some clothes on!"

The girls laughed giving each other a clap. Ash sighed but didn't tremble, he's the main guy. He will have control.

"Didn't know your such an exhibitionist, Redfern." Quinn said. "I'm slowly getting to know you better everyday."

Ash smiled, "If you got it then you flaunt it, right?" he stretches his arms at the back of his body. Jade frowns at the sudden ease of her brother. "You will so not going to get your uniform Ash."

Ash smiled at his sister liking that he finally regained control. "Who needs uniform when I got Armani?" he asked smoothly. Then he lift to fingers then point them top his sisters, "You two. Dead. Dad will come back tonight."

"What?" Kestrel's eyes bulged out at the thought own her own father, Hunter Redfern , coming gave her chills.

"Looks like someone is in trouble," James sing sang.

~o~o~

"ROWAN!"

Jade and Kestrel called for their college bound sister on her bedroom. Rowan said, "Come in."

The two get inside the dean-like room of their sister. She's on her desk, arranging by date her school files.

"Dad will come back tonight." Kestrel said through her teeth.

Rowan almost plunges down the files she was holding. "What? But he'll stay in New York till next year!"

"Ash informed us this morning," Jade said then sits on the red love seat. "Our dear brother will tell Dad about our antics."

Rowan smiled then carefully puts her files on her table, "You shouldn't have done those things to him."

"Aren't we going to take any action?" Kestrel's voice is fierce. "Dad will come back and will start ruling our lives again!"

The oldest sister sighed, "What can we do Kestrel? No one can defy our father. We all know that."

"That's why Ash is all goody-goody with him. Always the favorite." Jade mumbled.

Kestrel breathed heavily, fists clenched. "What if I told you that Dad is coming back with that Galen?"

Jade stood up, "Galen? Galen Drache? The son of the biggest animal collector? Why?"

"Oh, who knows what dear father is planning? Hmmm?" Kestrel's voice full of mockery. " Aha! Some early marriage for us, maybe!"

The other two gasped. This is so likely to happen. Their father will do anything to retain power even if it costs her daughter's happiness.

"I think I have an idea." Rowan said, trying to find the address of her long lost Aunt.
