The two days flew by quickly, few words were uttered as my sisters and I prepared ourselves mentally for the trip. We have tried to escape father many times, as children, to no avail, he will always find us. It's insane for a man who is so absent in our life to find us so easily in the span of a week, while we struggle to catch word of him.

I refused to speak my mind as I sat silently in my seat, the jet was going slow due to me personally asking the pilot to take his time, the longer the better in my opinion. I watched as the clouds swayed through the wind, following the breeze, and smiled lightly as the rays of light peeked from over the clouds edges, the light blue sky gave it all a heavenly appearance. Unfortunately, Heaven is a place we have yet to know. Being the spawns of a fallen angel doesn't automatically make us fallen too, we are still considered half angels. For that, we are grateful.

"Lisa, do you ever think about how our lives would be... if mother was still alive?"

I turned to the middle triplet with a blank expression, completely caught off guard by her strange question. Our mother is a rare topic, one that I try to avoid, but Lila is enamored by the thought of her. I refuse to destroy whatever my sister cherishes, even if it is only a thought.

Lili waited patiently for my response, her light pink stuffed kitten being clutched softly as she looked at me with her bright golden eyes that the three of us inherited from our, strands of her curly, natural, light pink hair landing in front of her face, and I noticed her face flush due to my staring, which caused me to smile in response.

"no, not really" I began, an eyebrow raised as I watched her face fall before continuing.

"however, I bet she was beautiful and would have showered us with love and affection, especially you" I stated, nudging her shoulder slightly.

A whine was heard from in front of us and we turned to see Layla with her chin on her hand, leaning towards us slightly from her seat, and her golden eyes set in a playful glare, the curly, co-dominate, raspberry hair that we received from both our parents framing her face, the only real difference between the three of us being our skin tone and Lili's lighter tinted hair, I was tanner than the both of them, Lili being the lightest and Layla being the perfect blend.

"why would she be the favorite one? I'm cute too!"

I scoffed before responding.

"because, she didn't use the last of my favorite conditioner"

"that wasn't me!"

"ehem, it was me...erm, I'm sorry sis" Raven sheepishly apologized as her head popped from over my seat, her sapphire eyes avoiding contact as a light blush spread across her pale complexion, her medium-length, straight, violet hair falling over the seat, lightly tickling my nose.

"then I forgive you bebe, but next time tell me"

"that's not fair, you were about to disown me for it, but now that Raven did it, you forgive her!" Layla complained childishly and I shrugged in response.

"that's my bebe"

"but we still love you, Layla, now stop your complaining" Anastasia's voice intervened as she and Anais sat beside Layla, Raven moving from behind my seat to crossed legged on the open space in between us all.

All was nice, we were talking as if we had never received the bad news, but it was all ruined as the pilot spoke through the intercom.

"We will be landing in twenty minutes"

They were the most silent twenty minutes of our lives.

We were not ready. Never would we be.

When the jet landed we lined up to exit the jet but before we could, Anastasia spoke up, her long black hair cascaded behind her, her pale cheeks were lightly flushed, and her vibrant blue eyes were watered slightly, but no tears fell. She was staying strong for us.

"Hold your heads up high girls, we will not be sacrifices to appease the dark side, we are strong, and I will due whatever I can to protect you"

"I know, Ana... but that's what I'm worried about, don't worry about us, like you said, we're strong, we can handle ourselves" I countered before hugging her tightly, followed by the other four. Anais stood in front of the four of us, directly in front of Ana, her long, straight, blonde hair swayed with each movement she made.

"you can't help nobody else, until you help yourself, sis" Anais stated before turning back to all of us, her matching blue eyes gave us all a stern look, but she held a gentle smile.

"that goes for all of you, we are strong, but we aren't invincible, we are still human as well, stay strong and be smart, we will mot adjust to them, they will adjust to us"

She is a woman of little words, but when she speaks, she does so with purpose.

Ana nodded before we all walked out of the jet with a new air of confidence, one that will not be broken easily. Like she said: We will not adjust to them, they will adjust to us.

The landed a distance away from a large gate the encased an even large mansion, ours did not compare in size, it was cozy and meant for the six of us and guest. This one seemed like it was meant for an academy, not a living space.

"it's huge!" Lili commented, staring wide eyed at the building and Layla snickered in response.

"that's what she said"

"Please, refrain from saying such lewd things, we are angels after all" Ana reprimanded, not bothering to look back at Layla, who only laughed harder in response before letting out a breathless apology.

"this is it, sisters, we are... home" Anastasia muttered, before walking forward toward the gate.

Raven huffed past me, stomping lightly against the gravel.

"This will never be home"

Home is a place we've never known.
