Chapter 5





"So, why did all of you come over to our side?" Rowen asked, before Retka could.

"Well, after Talpa died, we decided to come and try living a normal life with out having to follow his orders and well Minera knew that we didn't believe in what she or Talpa were doing." Dais started

"So before we could escape, Minera asked us what we were doing and well we told her we were off to our rooms with some new stuff that we got, and we were putting them away." Kale added.

"So she let us go, but sent some people to follow us around and when we reached our rooms each of us discovered that we had been followed, and I didn't like that, it annoys me when people follow me for no reason, remember how much I hate that Ret, and well I nearly killed the guy, but I grabbed my stuff and I made it to Earth before she could do anything but I was wrong to think that, she sent Naomi to catch me and she did, because she pulled one of her cheap tricks." Sekmet said his cheeks growing pink with anger at the remembrance of her trick.

"What trick did she pull on you?" Retka asked.

"She put sleeping powder in my tea before I drank it, she put it in the pot while it was boiling, on the stove."

"Oh, that's a cheep trick to play, but it makes me mad that she took my idea, that's mean." Retka said, getting amazed looks from everyone.

"Now Ret, you can't mean that, do you, I mean you played tricks on people but that doesn't mean you..." Dominique said. puzzled.

"Do you remember when Terkit and Accolon both drank their tea and got suddenly sick? Well, I put some stuff in their tea as a prank. You never thought it was me because I was in my room because Dad had gotten mad at me and I thought the stuff was in dad's glass, not theirs, I was too small to see so I just guessed, and I put it on someone else's glass to not make it look so suspicious, and no blame would fall on me." Retka said.

"So it was your fault I missed that date wasn't it? You little!!" Terkit said.

"Well that was a good trick, why didn't you tell me I would have made sure dad got it, why didn't you let me in like you always did?" Accolon said and then he and Terkit started to chase Retka down the hill, and Retka ran straight to Mia's house, knowing it would take her brothers a while to find it and her unless they had gotten faster.

"So she was the one who got them sick, wow." Nic said, laughing at the memory.

"Well it was funny, too bad they didn't like it, it was so funny watching their faces during tea, cuz dad wouldn't let them leave for anything because he wanted to teach us proper form for tea." D said laughing along with Nic.

"What's so funny that has your brothers chasing Ret down the hill for her life?" asked Rowen. Kento amazed that the sweet innocent looking Retka would do something like that.

"You mean Retka would play jokes on you?" Kento asked.

"Well yes.(laugh).. she loved to play jokes on people.(gasp).. she was always.(laugh).. pulling jokes on.(laugh).. someone, it.(gasp)... was the only way .(laugh).. for her to get noticed by our parents.(gasp).. because they were always so busy doing stuff.(laugh).. dad even called her his little trickster." Nic said, between laughs and gasps.

"So does she play tricks anymore?" Rowen asked, hoping he knew the answer, no.

"Well sometimes she does, and sometimes she don't it depends on how she's feeling. Now, how do I get to Mia's house?" D said.

"Well, we could follow the trail of dust, or follow us." Kento said, before scratching his head."

"Well why don't we follow Kento, he looks like he knows the way." Kale said.

"Hey, where's Arrow?" Anubis asked.

"Who's Arrow?" Rowen asked.

"Well, he's Ret's white tiger." Nic responded.

"Hey, will you guys stop chasing me now, I said I was sorry, please!! I'm sorry!!" Retka yelled over her shoulder.

"You may have apologized, but that don't mean we're gonna forgive and forget that quickly!" Terkit responded to Ret.

"Well, I forgive her Terkit, she was young and didn't know, so we should forgive her." Accolon said to Terkit, and winked, when he caught his brothers gaze.

"Well your right we should forgive and forget," Terkit responded to his brother before yelling to Ret. "Hey, Ret, I forgive you, Please stop, I want to get to talk to you."

"Sure, just don't do anything to me please!" Ret said, while she slowed down.

"Well, how's my sister anyway?" Accolon asked.

"I'm good, hey are you gonna enroll in school, or just sit around on your butt and get slow and fat?" Ret asked.

"I was gonna enroll in your school, let everyone know you have a good lookin' brother."

"Hey, what about your older brother?" Terkit asked, while stopping a few feet behind Retka.

"That's why I said a good lookin' brother, you scare all the hot girls away." Accolon said, following his brothers lead. Retka turned around and waited for her brothers to catch up, before linking arms with them.

"Hey, Ret, just wondering, how do you get to Mia's anyway?" Terkit asked.

"Well, you go down the road, a few more turns, and you want the fifth right turn, then go straight and you'll see a mansion, it's Mia's, then your there, but we've only gone by two turns though, so don't worry." She replied, looking ahead, and not at her grinning brothers.

"Oh, thanks, see you there!" Terkit said.

"WHAT!!"Retka yelled. As her brothers picked her up by her wrists (Accolon) and by her ankles (Terkit) and started swinging her.

"1..." Terkit started.

"What, no-" Retka said

"2..." Accolon said

"Please, I don't-" Retka yelled

"3...let go!!" Terkit said, as they threw her, and ran off.



"So, what's it like living with my older sister Mia, anyway?" D asked.

"Well it's-" Rowen started.

"HELLO! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!! HELLO!!" a voice yelled.

"Hey did that sound like Retka? Or was it my imagination?" D said.

" IT'S ME RETKA, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT!!!" Retka yelled. Nic ran to the edge of the hill and looked down to see her sister sitting in an algae covered pond.

"Why are you sitting in that pond" Nic asked, while everyone went to the edge of the hill, after her.

"Well, firstly, I'm not sitting in this pond, I'm standing when my ever so kind hearted brothers tossed me, I had time to right myself so I'd land on my feet on solid ground, but I landed in a pond, and my legs got stuck in the muck, and I've been stuck here waiting for you slow pokes!!" Retka said, "Now if one of you would kindly help me that would be wonderful." she finished between gritted teeth. Man this is a cold pond, if someone would hurry up that would be great. Retka thought.

Oh, so you want Rowen to help, you, then sissy, I'll get him to help you. A voice said followed be Nic's voice; "Oh, Rowen, why don't you help Ret out of the water, I'm sure she won't mind the help from you"

"Sure why not, I'll be right down Ret." Rowen said. why does this have to happen to me, I'm trying not to like her and this is what happens to me, great, just great. Rowen though to him self.
