Prison seems not so bad after comparing with what I have been through.
Though, I wouldn't know.
They put me in a holding room at the police station. Not 'real' prison. It's the place that the drunk drivers go when they've had a bit too much and was stupid enough to get caught. I think they are likely to get a heavy fine and some slight punishment…
Apparently, I'm jail bait. That's weird, because I'm of legal age... but I'm not going to tell them that. Who's them? Well, they would be four other prisoners plus two officers on duty to do spying on us. Furthermore, I'm not gonna tell you just how old I am too, as always my little motto is: It's a secret!
The tallest one, reminds me of a burly hooligan. His shoulder-length black hair is dyed with a bit of bright red and gold mixed in.
However, his unpleasant face certainly reminds of a certain evil villain I seen in one of the Power Puff Girl shows. Thus, his nick is Mojo Jojo.
A younger girl, probably a few years older than me, is sitting across from him, playing with her hair. She seems stupid enough to get caught for whatever she did. Hopefully she wasn't from a gang.
Only two prisoners to go.
Then there is a young teenage boy trying his best to act mature and manly hooligan by showing off his tiger tattoo on his left arm to the others in the room. I have to said that he fails rather miserably at it. Probably was kick out of the acting drama class.
Then there's an unwashed tramp in the corner, glaring at us with his one good eye. His other eye was covered up with a black patch like a pirate would do… Wonder where his little parrot is…
For some reason, I thought that he was some escaped lunatic from the IMH whenever he open his mouth and show off his missing teeth.. Probably not a good sign.
Ahh… forgive my rudeness, IMH means Institute of Mental Hospital in my personal dictionary.
The other two male officers on duty are relatively taller, but obviously quite a bit older than me. One has a scar across his lower jaw and wearing crumpled clothes, the other has a cap and has decency to wear his blue uniform neatly.
Without warning, the unwashed 'prisoner' yells "MAY GOD BLESS YOU HERETICS!"
I twitch slightly and wonder which god he's referring to, but otherwise do not react. My classmates plus the Chibis have me trained well. Too well... Come to think of it, hopefully he's not one of the fans of Osama Bin Laden. I would be greatly traumatized… I think.
Silence reigns high and mighty in the room… the air around us is getting colder and colder… Someone or something needs to break this suffocating tension.
"So..." the twiddling hair idiot puts an arm around me. This is going to be very, very uncomfortable.
"So." I reply. We speak the same language, she and I.
"What're ya in for lah?"
I can't stop myself from responding.
"I hide little people in my house," I reply cheerily, "Three of them call me Mama, one bakes cookies, two extreme fanatics always praising God, another lights up fires, the rest of them are my firefighters. I'm in here because I got mistaken for several arson crimes that obviously not my doing..."
I burst into tears. A long time coming, if you ask me.
Nobody says anything. I'm pretty sure they all think I'm completely insane. Which is probably true, because I can't tell if I'm right in the head anymore either. I realised I need the Chibis to keep me right in the head. I need Cain and Abel and even Seth. Guess I don't like being alone anymore.
A strangely feminine hand rubs my back. That's not very comforting, actually.
"...Baby...Stop crying... We got to go open presents..." someone familiar states, patting my back a bit harder.
I blink, looking up and saw a mature woman wearing a black suit. She has dark glasses on, about 1.6m tall. Her long hair which is now dyed reddish brown, seem to take on a magic glow in front of me...
It's Josephine, my eldest sister of the family...
It's a long time since I last seen her... about some months or so... because she married and moved out of our house to her little love nest...
"...Sis?"I asked stupidly.
She gives me an 'are you stupid' look, and procedes to help me stand. The guard holding the gate open looks terrified of her. She guides me to the front offices, where Ariel is talking to the detective who arrested me. He looks freaked as well.
"We're sorry again, Madams." the cop states, averting his eyes away from us. Josephine glares.
"Don't let it happen again." she growls.
What the hell...? Maybe she was a secret agent.
I was sent back in a single piece back home by Josephine, my eldest sister. Ariel, my second elder sister,went on a shopping spree in a nearby shopping mall. According to her words: "KYAAA!! There's 50 percent discount of those wonderful things!!!"
Dearest Mummy was back home cooking dinner, Dad was still working overtime... Apparently, when they received the news of my... imprisonment... they act cool about it, it seems they strongly believed that it's a mistake on the officers.
On the way home, sittingon the passenger's seat of the car, I was staring stupidly at my sister driving. More accurately, at my eldest sister's tummy.
As the car slow to a stop at a traffic light, I asked curiously: "You... are pregnant?"
Josephine giggled out loud and proceed to pat my head gently. From her blushing red face and her actions, shows it all.
"...Just how old is it?" I asked in great disbelief.
"It's already 5 months old, will be born around May next year." replied Josephine in blissful happiness.
When we reach home, I was kicked out of the car.
The Chibis are waiting for me by the door.
Cain and Seth are crying water fountains, Abel was sniffling with a red handkerchief.
"MAMA! MAMA!"
However, while they are doing at it...
KAZZABOOM! CRASH! SCREAMS! CLANG! SCREAMS! KABOOM!
The neighbourhood is experiencing a large amount of damage and fires...
Esther and Ion are trying to dry up the place using mops. Apparently, they are failing at it.
Isaak was currently wriggling his hands, he seems to be at a loss of how to comfort his Master Cain.
Dietrich was peeling apples by the door watching the masses running about. The mysterious Chibi, Radu that is, was standing beside him and lighting up the people running by...
Hugue and Asta are still fighting with each other, Professor and Kate are trying to lead the people away from the source of destruction.
Petro and Paula are both trying hard to convert the escaping passer-bys... if they don't, they received a hurricane of shurikens and punches.
Things are put to a stop when the Chibi Crusnicks finally noticed my arrival. The day is saved by me... but I'm not a Power Puff Girl...
We spend Christmas at my Palace de la Chibi. Presents are literally piled high, reaching the ceiling.They're all stacked in neat piles, designated to each person or Chibi.
Cain attempted to eat his first present, a pink fluffy pillow with his face printed on it, so we have to unwrap them ourselves while he gnawed on a cookies I give him.
Abel was scrutinising all the presents around trying to find any hidden bombs. Probably his job requirement. I give him Earl Grey and a large amount of sugar to accompany it.
Seth got an entire wardrode of clothes... Nobody believed it a good idea to get her sugary items.
Paula got mostly ninja items thrown in. Petro and Asta got pretty much the same items, things for their weapon of choice... and hairgel.
Esther and Kate's gifts are more of a variety, and thus get their own paragraph. They both got polished jewelry (courtesty of myself, Ariel, Josephine and several of the chibis), skimpy night gowns (I nearly bashed up Dietrich), and lots of practical items.
Issak got an assortment of kitty-type items. Hugue got cook books(I'm sure he took offense), cooking utensils, and a new chefs hat (my gift, ya). Dietrich got lots of little dolls/barvie to play with... no wonder he's called Puppeteer... I can see those little dolls dancing around the house like there's no new tomorrow... Professor and Ion got an assortment of books, liquor, and ammo. Who knew the smoking Professor could drink? And is Ion really suitable to drink liquor?
Just what does one get Radu for Christmas, I wonder. I got him a Chocobo head plushie and the gifts were sent to him via mail, he's out of town. probably running away from the police officers...
Cain ties a few ribbons around my neck, hair, and arms. I feel like I'm my own present. The chibis are thoughtful with their gifts. Abel give me great coffee beans that made my caffeine worm goes drool... Esther and Kate got me music boxes. One plays 'Jingle Bells' the other plays 'Silent Night'. Seth, Asta and Ion gave me clothing, no doubt helped by my dearest sisters... Professor give me a new creation of his own invention wonders what it does... Dietrich and Isaak both gives me little torture equipments... I think I can use them in Chibi punishments if ever any of the Chibi break the rules... Heehee just kidding. Hugue baked me a 3 feet tall sweet, rich in dark chocolate Christmas cake and a nice cooked 'turkey' for dinner. As usual, Radu gives me another fire in the neighbourhood...
I made them Chibi pajamas, complete with kitty ears and tails and glittery paws. Yes, I'm completely serious.
Ariel shelled out and bought a personal laptop for me... heehee. My desktop computer was completely crashed down some time ago...
Josephine's gift is my favorite, though. I got a nice MP4.
It was late, too late for anybody else to be up. Christmas has been over for at least an hour, but I refuse to look at the clock. Cain is sleeping on my head, his Santa hat has disappeared completely. Did his hair eat it? Abel and Seth are taking up my left and right shoulders respectively... I'm weighted down by three Chibis...
Whilst I was away, Isaak and Dietrich turned the living room into some sort of scientist chamber. Apparently they're getting ready for the arrival of some sort. They are now currently taking up the sofa and slepp the night away...
Dull embers still burned in the fireplace, just barely. Though I do remember that I don't even have a fireplace in the first place... Soft snores can be heard from various places. Still haven't figured out where they sleep, exactly.
"This is romantic." I say in a too normal tone. No reply from the Chibis. I guess they decided to give me some sort of peace for now. Good, I'm just about needing it now. Probably waiting for Santa, but I do not have a fireplace nor a chimney.
The TV clicks off quietly, I make my way to the kitchen. It's clean, Hugue is sleeping over the oven on a hammock. The rest of the Chibis are taking up the kitchen floors... sleeping in handmade beds or sleeping bags... So that's where they go...
I'm just about to go to bed when I see a glint of something hanging from the doorknob. My curiosity gets the best of me and I find myself picking it up. It's a scrapbook of all of my chibi adventures, from that fated moment to the Chibis' train of trailers just yesterday. There's a card sticking out of the door. Four words are written inside in neat handwriting. A familiar picture of Cain, Abel, Seth and myself is glued on the top cover of the scrapbook...
Merry Christmas, 'Mama' -Lilith
When did she get a camera? Most importantly... How did she do it? Does being a stalker gives her skill that ghost can't have it? I do not want a stalker around when I need to change my clothes or use the bath room...
Shivers...
(End of chapter 11.)
