Chp 1
As I said before, my dad went AWOL. I'm not sure where should I start to find him. LA? Could be, but what should I tell my mum if she asked? I'll be in trouble then. I woke up early; too early. I wore my pale pink kimono after my morning bath and walked around the house. Everyone seemed to be asleep, except Jun Han, our house butler who's feeding Terra at our overly sized front yard while our maid, Jun Qiao who's busying herself at the kitchen. Jun Qiao is a demon who Jun Han had found outside our Manor. Not sure how she's there, but Jun Han had adopted her and named her Jun Qiao. She made the best in everything and she can actually multiply herself when it's cleaning time.
I made my way to the fountain. The morning was quiet and peaceful, maybe because little Louise and Lara hadn't woke up yet. I'm still thinking on how to look for my dad without anyone suspecting it. "Having trouble to sleep?", a voice startled me from behind. It was Luna. I know two Lunas' in my life. One's my mum and the other one is a Rounin leader that goes by the name Luna Xero. She has black hair and amethyst eyes and often dressed in black robes with amethyst coloured design or black kimono with amethyst cloak or the other way round. Today, she's wearing a black ninja outfit with amethyst sash and an amethyst coloured scarf around her neck.
"You're up early", I said. "Work keeps me awake and other things", she said. "I have a question. What do you feel about your father?", I asked and I knew this was a sensitive subject, but I need to know. "I was told that I was special. I don't remember my mother, but all I knew that I have two older sisters, but they're in another dimension. My father, Alexei, 4th Leader of Rounin, locked me at the lowest level of HIA Maximum Security Prison. I was very young and at first, I screamed and yelled, 'What did I do wrong?'. For weeks then I stopped. I just sat in one corner and began to create these shadow creatures to keep me company. Then, the previous 1st Master James Kei came in and told me what I am in detail. He began to train me, along with those other people, William Copperbolt and Alfred West. My father never came to see me. What do I feel about him? Not just angry, I'm pissed…, at first. After they released me from the prison, I caught the 1st Leader of Rounin, Aaron's attention and he recruited me as the 13th Leader. There I met my father for the first time in years. I avoided him most of the time, but he let me because he knew I was mad like hell at him. Once, we were fighting in this war at this dimension and he saved my life. Maybe he locked me up to protect me. Just because I never saw him all my life that doesn't mean he's not there. Then, I understood everything", she explained.
"Have you met my father?", I asked again. "Skinny, twitchy, full of jealousy, lack of sense in cleanliness and addicted to street racings and engines. Why?", she said. "Just asking", I said. "I choked him once when he tried to attack your mum and my father. I could've snapped him like a twig, but Carlisle wouldn't let me. You should be grateful that I didn't", she said. "What does he looks like?", I asked. "You have his blue eyes and dirty blond hair, but you look like your mother. Thank goodness you didn't inherit his ADD", she said. "Or what? I'd be twitchy till it annoys you?", I said, slyly and she slapped me at the back of my head.
Then, I heard wailings. Little Louise and Lara must've woken up. "Time for me to leave. Tell your mother that the Rounins are expecting her tonight in the general meeting along with Copperbolt and West and Samuel", she said before disappearing. I got up and went to get breakfast when Jun Qiao called me in. After breakfast, Jun Han came and told my mother that she has a guest waiting for her at the library. "Who is it, Jun Han?", mother asked. "It's Professor Snape, my lady", said Jun Han. "I see. Julianna, my dear, why don't you go up first? Tell Severus I'll be there in a moment", said mother. I nodded and left. When I reached the library, I saw Professor Snape sitting at one of the couches and he's reading one of the books that were lying around the table. He noticed me and smiled.
It's hard to see Professor Snape smiled. Usually he had this stone cold, emotionless face. No one knew why though. "Professor, can I ask you a question?", I asked. "About what?", he said. "How do you block people from reading your minds?", I asked. "I thought you knew", he said. "I need a conformation, sir", I said. "Why would you need it?", he asked. "If I tell you this, promise me you won't tell mum. I really need this", I said. He put down his book so he could listen to what I said. I told him that I needed to find my dad, without my mum knowing any of this. "Interesting", he said, "The Occlumency should do the trick, but you should tell your mother".
"I need to this on my own. I want to make her happy", I said. "Other spells that I taught should be useful then?", he said. I smiled and nodded. Then, I heard footsteps; mother must be on her way. "One more thing, professor. Is it possible that I use magic against muggles?", I asked. "Not in public and make sure you remove their memories of seeing magic. If I hear things turn out badly, I will inform your mother", said Professor Snape. I left the library as my mother entered. All I need now is his whereabouts. Time for some adventure!
