Me: WHAT'S UP, MY PEEPS?!
Chris: Why are you talking like that?
Me: Cause I feel like it! Just Kidding, I don't know.
Chris: You okay?
Me: I don't know. I fell on bike the other day and now my wrist really hurts. =P That and I'm really tired but I'm here…
Chris: Are you sure about that?" *Waves hand in front of her face*
Me: I'm…*Yawns* just fine… (Lol, made you yawn now didn't I? I yawned twice…=D)
Chris: Whatever, MK doesn't own anything except herself, her laptop, and her hurting wrist.
Cheshire: HEY GUYS, GUESS WHAT?! I'M IN THIS CHAPTER; KEEP A CLOSE LOOK FOR ME, KAY?!
Chapter 4: Meeting The Rest of the Family...
Gingka's POV
"Here's your room." Fia says as she opens a door. A large bed sits in the middle of the room. A dresser with a mirror attached sits on the opposite wall so you can see yourself when you sit on the bed. The bay window has a wooden chest under it with cushions so you can sit there and look out the window.
"This is my room?" I run in and jump on the bed. "THIS IS AWSOME!"
"All the guest rooms are set up like this." Fia says. She, Aguma, and Madoka enter and walk over to the bed.
"It's really pretty!" Madoka and Fia talk for a moment about the beauty of the room and different girl things like that…you know, the ones that make my head hurt. Aguma just stands there looking at a picture on the wall. I slide over to the other side of the huge bed and peek under the covers. A pair of dark eyes opens and stares at me. A green glow in the dark smile appears under it and I let out a scream. I jump back on the bed and pull my knees up to my chest.
"What's wrong?" Aguma raises an eyebrow.
"Something's under the bed!" I squeal.
"Gingka…there's no such thing as monsters under the bed…I thought your dad said you got over that when you were like…11."
"I was 10, thank you very much!" I object. "And there is something under there!"
"Hold on!" Fia walks over and pulls the sheets up, looking under the bed.
"What is it?" Madoka asks as Fia gets under the bed and pulls out a small boy.
The boy looks like a lot like Chris, just a younger, weird-dressed version. He has ruffled blond hair from being under the bed with a headband that has blue cat ears on it. His blue eyes stare at me creepily and I see he has a pair of glow in the dark vampire teeth in his mouth. He wears cat costume that is black with blue strips on it. He even has a cat tail and big gloves and shoes that look like cat paws.
"Dio! What has Mommy said about hiding under beds and creeping people out?!" Fia chastises.
"THERE YOU ARE?!" A small girl that wears almost an identical outfit except it's purple and pink stands in the doorway. Her pigtails bounce as she does. "FOUND YOU!"
"Cheshire and I were just playing." Dio says. He slaps his sister's hand away and runs to go see his friend, Cheshire. The two run off and are gone in seconds.
"Who was that?" Aguma asks.
"The youngest Weinburg, Dio, and his friend, Ashlyn Sanders…sorry, she likes to be called Cheshire."
"Okay, whatever."
"Come on, I'll show you two your rooms." She looks at me. "You can stay here if you want. Like I said earlier, the rooms are basically the same."
"Okay…you guys okay with that?"
"Yeah." Madoka waves. "See ya later." The three leave and I lay on my bed. As I start thinking, I realize how much Chris and his siblings look like. Dio is almost an exact copy, and so is Fia.
Fia has the same blond hair but it's cropped short around her face. She has pieces pinned back from her face by yellow barrettes. She has pretty grey eyes that sparkle a lot, especially when she's excited. She wears a small yellow shirt that has a black band at her waist. It then continues down to the top of her thigh and meets her black and yellow vertically stripped skirt that ends a couple inches above her knees. She wears a pair of knee-high socks that you can see the tops of under her skirt with a pair of black tennis shoes.
"Hey." Madoka taps my knee. "Gingka, you awake?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You had your eyes closed and you weren't moving."
"I was just thinking about how much Chris and his siblings look like."
"I was thinking about that too. We meet his older sister in the hallway near my room. Apparently we're in the same hallway and stuff but…" Madoka tells me what she looks like and I'm just like: This proves my point even more! She agrees and we continue talking in my room. The two of us lay on our bed until Chris' older sister, Lizzie comes and says it's time for dinner.
Earlier that afternoon
Chris's POV
"Franny. I need to go talk to my dad. He sent me a letter and said we needed to talk ASAP!" I try to push her off my arm.
"But, Chrissy-Poo!" She cries. "Don't you love me?!"
"NO COMMENT!" She lets go and stomps off.
"FINE!" She yells. I sigh and realize the apology for that is going to suck, big time. Why my parents arranged my marriage to her…I have no idea…couldn't they sick her on someone else? Actually, I wouldn't even sick her on Nemesis. Even He doesn't deserve it.
I walk inside and go to my father's study.
The door's shut and memories rush through my mind. Feelings of fear and disappointment fill me and I cast my eyes down. I've been in there too many times for the wrong reasons. I raise my hand and knock on the door. Best to get this over with as soon as possible.
"Come in." The gruff voice says. I open the door and the smell of smoke fills my lungs. I cough and grimace a little. I had forgotten…my father smokes.
"Hello, Father." I bow a little out of habit. The chair he sits in turns around and I can feel his eyes on me.
"Christopher." I stand and meet his harsh purple eyes. That was the thing I hated the most…out of the four kids, I looked the most like my father.
"You said you needed to speak to me."
"You know why?"
"I'm not giving up Beyblade. If that's all, then I'll be leaving tonight." I start to leave when he coughs.
"That's not it." He coughs again. "Christopher…you need to take over the company."
"I said I don't want it." I throw my arm out to try to make my point. "I don't want any of this. Give it to Lizzie; it's been her dream to run the company!" I shout a little. His eyes narrow and mine go down.
"I can't." He coughs.
"Why not?! What do you have against your daughter taking the company?! What has she done?!" I shout again. I'm not standing down on this. I don't want it and Lizzie does. I will convince him to give it to her.
"I can't give it to Lizzie!"
"WHY NOT?!"
"BECAUSE SHE'S DYING!" He shouts at me before coughing badly again.
"What?" The word escapes my mouth quietly. Lizzie's…dying?
Thanks for reading. I told you you were going to hate me for this chapter. So the news is out, Lizzie is dying. Here comes the hate mail. =P
So yeah…Um…I can't think of anything else to say…
Oh, what'd you think of Cheshire appearing? It's been a while since I've used her in a story. So I figured I'd bring her back. You'll see her again in later chapters.
And what'd you think of the whole arranged marriage thing with Chris and Franny? That will be explained better in the next chapter.
So thanks for reading. Hope you liked it and review please. TTYL!
PS: This chapter was not beta-ed because FF won't let me upload anything as a DocX and is barely letting me edit this chapter...
