Three days had passed since the incident at the store and now it was raining really hard. Changing into my ghost form I fly above the clouds remembering what my mother had told me about the ghost of weather, Vortex. Once I spotted him I also saw a cute guy with bright green hair his bangs falling over his left eye, red eyes just like Vortex's, and pale lavender skin. Every thought about yelling at Vortex flew out the window as I look at him only to be suddenly hit by a strong wind knocking me back a few feet. Looking up I saw Vortex standing between the boy and I and the weather ghost was glaring at me
"Who are you?" he demands
"Carina Sarah Masters." I answer suddenly afraid of the large specter as he towered over me
"Masters?! As in Vlad Masters?!"
"He's my grandpa on my mom's side."
"Why are you here Masters?"
"Uh….the rain, but never mind. I'll deal. See ya!" I fly outta there as fast as I could and phase into my room before returning to my human form just as Dad walks into the room
"Carina, where did you go?" he asks crossing his arms over his chest
"Flying and I met Vortex." I say
"That crazy psycho? I want you to stay away from him!"
"But Daddy, there was a boy with him!"
"No Carina! You are to stay away from him and his son!" my father and I glare at each other until Mom calls for him downstairs. Once he closes the door behind him I fall face first on my bed groaning. Vortex isn't a psycho. He's just misunderstood even if he is scary. Sitting up I look out my window watching the rain hit the window. Was the boy helping Vortex make the rain? He didn't look like he was doing anything other than watching the ghost of weather make the rain. If he really is Vortex's son maybe he got his powers from his mother and only got some of his looks from his father. With a sigh I lay back down and close my eyes letting the sound of the rain lull me to sleep.
I had watched the girl fly away from my father as fast as she could after she talked to Papa. I had followed her with my eyes and as soon as I got the chance I snuck away from my overly-protective father hoping to learn more about the girl. I got a very strong feeling as soon as my eyes connected with hers and I knew my father noticed since he went into over-protective mode. Shaking my head I phase into the building I saw her go in and I see her asleep on a bed. So this her room huh? Looking around I took in the plainness of the room with the cream walls, pale brown carpet, and the three posters on the wall. The only furniture in the room was the bed, a desk with a mirror, a dresser, a bedside table, and a chest at the foot of the bed. Floating up to the bed I decided to use my power over dreams to place myself into her dream or at least see what she was dreaming about.
Taking a calming breath I touch her forehead and close my eyes her dream forming in front of my mind's eye. The first thing that reached me where the questions about me like who I was, why I was with my Papa, what kind powers did I have, etc. A smile appears on my face as her dreams drifted to what I could sound like and what my personality could be like. That was when I stepped into her dream. In her current dream she was in a forest relaxing against a tree truck as I stand in front of her
"Hello." I say smiling at her
"Uh…hi?" she says looking at me surprised "This is a strange dream." I sit down beside her
"It is a dream, but it also isn't."
"Huh?"
"My mother is the ghost of dreams and I have the same powers as him, so this is your dream but I'm not supposed to be here."
"Then why are you here?"
"To get to know you better Ms. Masters. I'm Alpha by the way."
"Carina." We spent the next few minutes talking about anything and everything until I sensed my father searching for me. After saying our goodbyes I exit her dream and fly after my Papa. He didn't seem to put much thought into my disappearance, but still scolded me before we fly home. I instantly get tackled by my hyper active, weather controlling triplet brother Bala and I could tell he was excited since he was shocking me with electricity. Normally I would growl and push him off, but I was in too good of a mood to let my energetic brother ruin it. We stand up and I walk up to my sister Desi who was looking out a window with a dreamy look on her face.
Just by the way my brother and sister where acting I knew they had the same feeling I got when I first saw Carina when they first saw those twins. The only thing that confused me was the way our parents were acting about it. Glancing back at them I saw that they were talking about something and it seemed to upset my mother. I've only seen Dad this upset when Papa and Bala snuck some candy into the castle then promptly ate enough to get a sugar high that added to their already endless energy. The house looked like a disaster area when they finally calmed down. That was not a pretty day since Bala got grounded for five weeks and Papa was banished to a guest room for about a month. I've never seen Papa apologize so much before or after that incident. Dad narrows his eyes and growls something at Papa before going upstairs making my father sigh. He turns and our eyes connect for a moment before he walks into a different part of the castle.
It unnerved me that our parents were acting this way. What did they have against the three of them? I could understand Papa slightly since most ghost shunned him because of his endless energy and the fact that he loved to make his 'art', meaning his weather, then demand praise. Of course, my siblings and I always praised him on his 'art' but then again we are his children and basically everything he does is praise worthy to us if you discount the sugar high incident. I glance back at my siblings before going to look for Papa.
