Chapter 12 Supper Disaster Part 1!

Filia made her way donw the street. Lina phoned her house but she wasn't allowed over. She sighed. When she thought of her house it made her sick. Her firedns always thought she lived in a big house, and had wonderful parents, but littel did they know it was the total oposite. Filia lived at an old rundown appartement. Her mother lost her job, her littel sister, was out of town and her dad.... her dad missed work almost every singel day, he drank to much and .....It made her sick to her want to cry when she thought of it. When she was littel she was terrified of her dad, he would rampage around beatening them up. She was still scared of him and he was still the saem. Before Filia turned the corner she looked to see if anyone she knew was around. She walked up he steps to reach the front entrance.

"Hey, Fifi, how's it*hic* going?" Filia looked up. A man with lonf shaggy brown hair waved she waved back.

"Hi Mr. Robbinson." The gut was nice but good he really needed a life. He drank all the time and was always getting in troubel with the cops. His wife left him and took their child. The child,Mary, was Filia only friend in this whole block. By now Filia had reached her door, she opend it softly, and peeked in.'Good, dad's not home.' She stepped out of her shoes and entered her room. It was the only place in the house that was actually clean enough for a civilized person to live in. She slipped off her coat and went ot the mirrio. She checked her arms. She shook her head. If anyone had seen her arms they might have fainted, or even called socail security and taken her away. that was the one thing she wanted, but she staied for her mom. Her mom needed her more than anyone. Now her arms, Filia bit her bottome lip, ther were full of cuts bruises and scraes. The most recent was yesterdays. Her dad and her got into a fight and he broke his beer bottel and sliced her with it.

"Filia, honey is that you,"called a small voice from her mom's bedroom. Fila left her room and went to her mom's she sat on the edge of the bed. Her mother looked pale and sounded horse.

"Mom what's wrong?"

"Nothing , mommy just a littel sick, you'll just have to cook supper for youself tonight, ok hun," she said smiling. Filia nodded."Good girl." She kissed Filia on the forhead, and gave her a littel smak to get going. Filia padded into the kitchen, it was disgusting. Dirty dishes covered the counter. The firged door was opedn reaveling old moldy food. She looked through the cubords until she found Mac and Chesse.

"Um," she said sarcastically, putting it in a bowl and microwaving it( I know that's not how u make it but, sheesh give me a break!).

Lina jumped off the bus. It drove out of site. She cursed after it.

"Damn bus driver alost gave me a heart attack, he really needs to brush those teeth. Lina shuddred at the thought.

"Hello Lina, have a good day," cooed a voice behind her. Lina almost jumped 50 feet in the air. She turend around to see her sister looking at her, though she really couldn't tell because her sister's bangs were down to her nose covering her eyes. Lina gulped, just being in the same room as her freaked the living daylights out of her.

" Er.... hi, it was ok.... i guess."

"Did u get into troubel?" she asked leading Lina up staris inot the kitchen were she was cooking.Lina lived in a duplex, there nighbors were the loudest people on earth and her bedroom was right next to there's. Her house was nothign to specail, but it was better than most houses, that's proably cuz Luna, her sister, would accept nothign less than perfection.

"W-what would make you say that," said Lina sitting down.

"Because i know my littel sister."

"Well you could say,, Mr.Gravv got angry at us."

"Any new news?"

"Heh, not really. Lina was thinkging about telling her what they foudn in the computer room.

"Really, nothing at all, nothing you found out about and don't want to tell me?" Ok now this freaked her out. She knew about it, but how, did she stalk her to?!

"Nothing!"

"Ok."Just the the phone rang. Lina would praise that phone someday."Watch after the food it's proably my boss." Lina blinked, her cooking? Never even touched the stuff.

"Me?"

"Yes, you and remeber don't add the vinger until ten miutes are up, ther backing powder in there, got it?"Lian nodded, and Luna raced to the phone.

'Ten miutes, how long dose it take her two go on the phone," Lina thought as she leaned over the stove and looked at the clock.

"Daddy, I'm home!" shouted Amelia, from the fron foyer. She lived in a big house, it was almost big enought to be called a castel. The only reason was that her father was a cop and her mother was a baker. Her mother had passed away. She was killed by a assain who was after her older sister,Gracia, who ran away after she witnessed her mother's death. Amelia was about to cry , she couldn't belive at a time like this she was thinkign of thoise dark thoughts.

"Amelia is that you?"boomed a voice from the dinning room. She ran in and saw her father stadnig ther in his cop uniform.

"Daddy!"

"Daughter!" They both ran into a hug."How was my littel girl's school day?"

"Great, dady. I meet one of Uncel's old employers, he is one of the new teachers, and we found out that....."Amelia bit her tounge, she had almost let it slip of what they found out at the computers. Her father,Philioneil, raised his eyebrow.

"What is it, cat got you'r tounge," he laughed at his own joke.

"Er... nothign it's just that...er.... what's for supper daddy?" she said qucikly changing the subject.

"Uuuummm....I think we will be having ribs to night."

"But daddy!That was once a living animal!"

"Oh yes, I forgot you'r turnign into a vegetarian," Phil chuckled."You can have some rice and salade."

"Ok! I'll go make it!" Amelia ran out of the room and dashed into the kitchen. Before Phil could stop her.

"I hope she know's what she's doing last time she almost took of the paint of the counter with her last soup," he said shaking his head smiling,"How thoughtful of my daughter of thinking in of those poor animal, a true lover of justice,"he boomed leaving the room.

He clenched his fists, how could they know all about them. It pissed him righ off. He didn't want them to find out how he was like this. First of all his parents died in a carcrash, his only know realtive,Rezo, his grand- father took him in. Rezo was a professeru at the University and had his lab set up in the basemetn. When Zel was younger he went down ther lookign through his books. Rezo found him down there. It seems that Zel wanted to be more powerful so he could beat those kids up at school who teased him. Rezo granted him his wish but, he turned him into theis thing, this monster. Zel kicked a glass bottel that was laying on the ground. Instead of it moving it just smashed into two. Now, Rezo was getting married to Eris. Zelgadis hated her witha mad passion. She was a a helper at the school and that's how she got to meet Rezo. The one thing that Zelgadis didn't understand is that why she came to him, he was blind, eh would never be abel to tell her how she looked or see the worlkd for himself. that was the reason he became a scientest he wanted to find the cure for his blidness. Sometimes he'd seem crazy or even trash his labratory because he got so fustrated. Zel opend the door and went straight to his room. He turend his music up full blast and flopped onto his bed, letting the thoughts of the day sink in.

"Zelgadsi Graworsd," turn that music down," shouted Eris from outsdie his room. He just ignored her.

"Hey" he said as his music stoped suddenly. eris was stadnig in the door and had the cord in her hadns. She had a appron on and under she had a skirt and blouse. her dark hiar was spiked, and to Zel looked liek she stuck her finger in the socket in the plug, acctuall he wouldn't mind if she did that in the first place." What do you want," he said dryly.

"Teh school phoned today. To got into a lot of trouble."

"So why should you care."

"Hey look i'm trying to be haelpful here! Just try to accept that."

"I don't need any help, it was nothign."

"Nothing, you almost killed a kid."

"Go away, you can't tell me what to do your not my mother."

"But you hould treat her like it, Zelgadis," said Rezo from behind them. He walked in. His voice and apprence was calm it always had been. He had a red shirt on and black pants. His hair was purple and it was almost exactly like Zel's style.

"What do you want?" Zelgadsi was getting fustrated now, they both really bugged him, especailly when Rezo was so calm all the time it just bugged the hell out of him.

"Zelgadsi, you need to settel donw, don't get angry over littel things."

"They made fun of my parents, that's not littel."

"I see. I was not inforemd about that, but still that gives you no excuse to yell at Eris."

"She had no right to yell at me." Befor a fight started again between the two. Rezo suggested that Eris go and finish suppers while he delt with Zel.

"Zelgadis, you have to understadn, that Eris is tryin her best."

"Wll she isn't doign a very good job."
