Chapter 1: Mrs. Miller

Allie(Sasha)

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I sighed as I got out of bed, turning the alarm clock, that read 6:15 am, off in the process. Going over to the closet to change I glanced at the bed, that was on the other side of the room to see if Ana was still asleep. Her bed was in disarray and there were clothes all over the floor. 'I'll have to get her to clean that up later'. I threw on a pair of slacks and a t-shirt and headed down stairs. Before I was even halfway down the stairs I hear yelling. I hesitated contemplating on whether or not to go back upstairs and fall back asleep on my bed.I settled for going downstairs to the kitchen for something to eat.

As I got closer to the kitchen the yelling got louder and I could hear bits and pieces of what was being said.

"I didn't mean to! I swear I-" The voice sounded as if they we're talking a person off a ledge, hesitant and not knowing what to say but they were cut off by another voice shouting "I don't care whether or not you meant to! Look what happened! As soon as I catch you I'll-" I opened the door to the kitchen to find chaos. There was egg everywhere, and I mean everywhere, and Olivia, who I assume was to blame for the mess, was being chased around the kitchen by Ana, who was still yelling death threats at the poor girl. I stood there for a minute wondering when they were going to notice me.

After a few minutes I felt my anger rising as both girls failed to notice my presence.

"Hey." I said trying to get there attention but neither could hear me over their yelling. I tried to calm myself before I went off on the two but lost my patience when in the midst of running around Ana knocked over a mug, my favorite mug in fact, from the counter. Upon contact with the ground the mug shattered into several pieces.

"Oi! Both of you stop it right NOW!" I snapped. Both Ana and Olivia stopped what they were doing immediately. I glared at both of them and before either of them could speak a word in their defence I put my hand in a gesture for them to keep quiet.

"Now you BOTH will clean up this kitchen and it better by spick and span before lunch." Neither spoke a word as I silently went to the cabinets and pulled out a bag of pop tarts. Walking out the kitchen I gave them one last warning glare then closed the door behind me. Halfway down the hall I passed Ryxer, who looked like she had just woken up, she stopped when she saw my expression.

"Someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" She sounded amused. I just gave her a blank look. The arguing had started up again and could be heard in the hallway. She sent me a smile and asked "Ana and Olivia?" I just gave a nod, already exhausted.

"Well when you live in a house with ten girls shit is bound to happen." Ryxer said an all out grin on her face. I just shook my head sighing.

"I would just like one of these days to have a normal, quiet morning." I murmured as I walked past Ryxer and into the front room, Ryxer's laughter following me. Not surprised in the least when I found Sarah setting on the couch reading a book, she was always the first one up. Sarah had her glasses on which made her light emerald eyes seem a little larger than normal and her brown hair, the color of mudd, was cropped short, just a little below her ears and curled a little at the end. I sat down next to her on the couch muttering a soft 'Hey' and not even looking up from her book she gave me a slight nod.

Turning on the tv I flipped through the channels wondering what to watch when Eve walked in stretching.

"Sup guys." A grin on her face. She was always so...energetic in the morning. 'Wonder how she does it?' I thought absently.

"Soooo whatcha watchin?" Eve said as she sat down next to me. I shrugged saying nothing because it was Saturday and there was nothing on on today. I settled for some NCIS reruns which happened to be on all day. We watched two full shows before the others started to file into the front room. Our front room had two couches, each fit about four or five, on either side and there were two recliners next to the couches, all of them facing our tv, that was mounted on the wall. In the center of all the furniture was a medium sized wooden table that stood at knee height.

This was all we did on Saturdays, most of the time, just sitting around and watching tv. I like to call it our lazy or do nothing day. I looked around the room as another episode of NCIS started. Sarah who sat to my right was still reading her book and damn she had already read through more than half of the book and she had just started it this morning. Eve, who had migrated to one of the recliners, was engrossed in the show. Eve had her dark blonde hair, that reached her shoulders, down and her black eyes were pooled with tears, 'Man she is such a sap.' Lilith was now the one sitting on my left. Her ebony brown hair was in a braid that reached her mid-back and her dark green eyes, the color of moss, were trained on her sketch book as she drew. On Lilith's other side was Dawn, who was listening to music. Dawn's hair went down to her shoulders and was currently multiple shades of pink that somehow oddly fit her appearance. Her pink hair also complimented her reddish-brown eyes.

On the other recliner was Joe. Joe had short black hair that was spiked towards the ends and her violet eyes looked bored as she stared at her computer screen. Ryxer sat on the other couch her black hair pulled back into a bun. Her dark ocean blue eyes was watching Eve with amusement as Eve struggled not to cry. Besides Ryxer was Naomi. Naomi happened to be the shortest of all of us, although she would deny it if you say so. She had blonde hair so fair that it appeared white and sky blue eyes. She was currently working on a rubix cube, which she had gotten about a week ago and she has yet to solve it. Olivia was next, both she and Ana had gotten done with the kitchen some time ago. Olivia had hair the color of honey and both her eyes and her skin was the color of cream. She was sulking in her spot on the couch sending a glare every now and then at Ana who sat next to her. Either Ana did not care or was just pretending not to notice because she gave Olivia no acknowledgement. Ana had her blood red hair tied in a ponytail that reached her back and her golden eyes were narrowed in aggravation. I myself had brown hair with red and blonde highlights and my eyes were a greyish-silver.

"Oh! Sasha I forgot to tell you but I met Mrs. Miller at the store the other day." Ryxer said turning her gaze from Eve to me. i gave her a 'so what' look. She just chuckled.

"You remember how last time we went over there how all she talked about was adopting some kids?"

"Oh god don't remind me." This came from Ana. Lets just say Ana did not favor the older women.

"I feel sorry for any kid that gets adopted by her and her husband." Naomi stated while still working on her rubix cube. 'I give her another week or two before she gives up.' Thus most of us were either laughing or trying to hide our laughter.

"Don't tell she actually adopted one?" Eve gushed from her seat.

Ryxer nodded. "Actually more than one."

"Two?" Eve asked.

"Nope."

"Three?" Olivia guessed.

"Uh-uh." Ryxer said shaking her head. By now everyone was looking at Ryxer, even Dawn who had her headphones ripped out by Lilith at the mention of the 'exciting' news.

"Five?" asked Ana. Ryxer just shook her head.

"Well damn." muttered Dawn.

Ryxer just smiled obviously loving this and said "Come on. Keep guessing."

"Seven." Joe stated. Ryxer paused for a second as if contemplating then let out a chuckle and shook her head once again.

"Nope. But you're getting closer." We just stared. A few moments of silence passed before Ana said "Oh for god's sake just tell us already!"

"Fine. Fine. Way to ruin the fun." Ryxer pouted. "Yeah. Fun for you maybe." Ana muttered. Ryxer just shook her off. "So how many was it?!" asked Eve, forever impatient.

"Ok. Mrs. Miller actually adopted...wait for it...THIRTEEN kids." This was met with silence.

"Thirteen?!"gasped Eve, sounding incredulous.

"She must be crazy." Naomi said having finally looked up from her cube. Joe grunted in agreement.

"Yeah well when I meet her at the store she had already had them for a few weeks or so and by the way that she sounded they are already driving her crazy." Ryxer said.

Ana responded "Serves her right. She should have seen it coming. I mean thirteen?! jeez." Everyone gave their agreement and as we all went back to doing our own things there was a loud BOOM! We were all startled out of our seats.

"The Hell!" Ana exclaimed.

Ryxer said, her voice a little shaky "It sounded like it came from next door." I grabbed Ana before she could do anything stupid. She gave me a furious glare.

"Would there happen to be a reason that you're holding onto my arm?" Ana's voice was razor sharp. One had to be careful when speaking to Ana, her anger matched her hair,a fury of red. Not to mention that Ana had a very short fuse on her temper.

"Yes as a matter of fact I do. Knowing you, you would probably burst into our neighbors house without a second thought busting heads and demanding what made that noise and that won't help any." Ana just looked at me until she muttered something I couldn't catch, although I'm sure it was not nice, under her breath and looked away.

Satisfied I turned to Ryxer and said "Come with me, we will go check it out." Ryxer nodded following me outside. The others followed as well but stopped on our front lawn to watch what happened. Standing on our neighbor's porch Ryxer and me shared a look before I knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Mrs. Miller, yeah she was our neighbor, the same one who adopted the supposive thirteen kids. As soon as she saw us she looked so relieved that I got a little worried for the women. I took a second to take in her appearance. Her slightly graying hair was disheveled, there were dark spots under her eyes, and her clothes were messy and wrinkled, all in all she looked like hell.

"Hey Mrs. Miller." uncertainty in my voice. She abruptly hugged me and I felt myself go still trying to fight the urge to throw the women off me.

"Please you gotta help me. There demons I tell you! Demons!" She was practically sobbing.

"Who are you talking about Mrs. Miller?" I asked even though I had a pretty good idea of who it was.

Ryxer and me shared another look over Mrs. Miller shoulder.

"The children! Oh god they looked so adorable and the Mr. Spencer had said that they had been found together and that they wouldn't be separated. I always wanted a big family , since I could never have any children of my own, you know and they looked about the right age that they could also help take care of themselves. He even said they would send me extra money you know to help take care of them! But I can't take it! Please! Please help me!" Mrs. Miller looked me right in the eyes. She looked so depressed and it was like she had aged years over night. I felt myself waver. I know that me and the other girls would never be able to take care of kids and they would be pissed if I agreed to help Mrs. Miller but I was just as much of a sap as Eve. I opened my mouth on the verge of saying yes, to say anything to get that look off of Mrs. Miller's face. Ryxer having known me since we were children in one swift motion clamped her hand over my mouth to stop me from answering the poor women.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Miller but we couldn't possibly help you. I mean neither of us or our friends know the first thing about taking care of kids and you know Ana, right?" Ryxer waited for Mrs. Miller to nod, which she did. "Well considering Ana's anger issues I'm pretty sure that none of the children would live to see next week." Upon hearing this Mrs. Miller's already sad face seemed to deflate even more. 'Shit. Don't say anything. Don't say anything!' Yelling and cursing along with other loud bangs and clangs could be heard within the house and Mrs. Miller looked as if she was about to have a mental break down. 'Shit.' I cursed myself for what I knew I was about to do. I swiftly knocked Ryxer's hand away, leaving her looking stunned, and before she could do anything to stop me I said,

"We'll take them."
