Chapter 8 Simple and Clean
Silver tapped her pen against her homework page and propped her chin in her palm. Her mind wondered back to Kyler, he hadn't showed up for the rest of the party and Silver had the most displeasure of seeing Brooklyn. Silver rolled her eyes. It wasn't like she didn't already see enough of him at school. She caught herself dwelling on the subject again and gave herself a mental smack. " Stupid."
You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Brooklyn jerked up as his bedroom door was thrown open. " What the…" Kyler waltzed in and threw a set of clothes at Brooklyn. " Come on up! We have to go!" Brooklyn rubbed the sleep from his eyes and glared at his cousin. " Go where?"
Kyler looked up with a surprised look, " Brooklyn we have to go to Aki's house, remember?" Brooklyn shook his head and got dressed.
Kyler sighed and sat down, " You got drunk last night?" he asked flatly. Brooklyn shrugged and tossed a black hoody over his head. Kyler frowned and dragged Brooklyn out.
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple."
Aki walked past Silver and stop to look at her. She had a fair away look in her eyes and didn't even seem to notice him. Aki cleared his throat and watched with amusement as she jumped. " Brooklyn and his cousin's coming." Her watched as her eyes turned silver, something he always enjoyed. But like hell he wasn't going to admit it.
" So?"
Came her flat answer. Aki shrugged, " Just thought you might want to know sister." The doorbell chose to rang right then. Aki walked over and pulled open the door to reveal Brooklyn and Kyler. Silver hadn't moved from her stop in the dining room, so she didn't see the boys. They exchanged greetings and names.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Silver tilted her head to hear what they were saying. She stood up with a sigh and collected her stuff. No point in hanging around when she knew what was in stored for her around here. She froze when she heard, " I'd like you to meet my sister." Unless you deaf, you wouldn't have missed the deliberate stress of the word. Silver groaned under her breath and made a hurried exit.
" Silver." She froze and slowly turned around, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. As soon as she turned she blinked several times. " Oh my God." She muttered and cursed silently at herself.
" So Aphrodite we meet again." Silver swallowed and faced Kyler and stared. "You…" Brooklyn turned to look between the two. " I guess you two know each other too." Silver and Kyler nodded.
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Aki quirked an eyebrow and smirked, " So we don't have to introduce you two." Silver shifted and lowered her head, concentrating on her hair tips instead. Aki frowned at her lack of words and wondered if she was sick. As soon as the thought entered his head, he shoved it back scowling at himself.
" Are you sick?" Brooklyn beat Kyler to the question. Silver shook her head and turned. " I have to go." She whispered and rushed out of the house without a second glance back.
" What…" Kyler looked after her and then back at her homework. " She forgot…" Brooklyn scooped it up and they walked to Aki's room.
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Silver sat back in the hair salons chair thinking. The women washed her long hair slowly and washed away the shampoo suds. " Are you sure about this?" she women questioned, " You have wonderful hair the way it is." Silver reflected back when she had first gotten her hair done. The women had asked the exact same thing. Silver closed her eyes. " Get on with it, I'm sure." The women gave Silver long think black hair a wistful look and got down to work.
About 3 hours later the women whisked the covering over Silver's clothes off and washed her hair one last time. " All done." Silver stood up ad stared at herself in the mirror. She could barely recognize herself. A soft smile touched her lips. " Thanks" she nodded at the women and walked out to a store for something to wear.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please

Kyler was laughing at something that Aki said when Silver walked in. She had a cap pulled over her head, hiding all of her hair and a mischievous look in her wolfish eyes. " Hello!" she chirped and planted a kiss on all of the shocked boys' cheek. And up she dashed giggling. " Dude, you sister is crazy."
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Silver brushed her hair and gazed into the mirror. She couldn't wait for Amy, Kyo, and Kayra to see. With a giggled and scooped her now knee length hair into a ponytail and into a bun that hid what she did to her hair. " Miss. Silver dinner's ready." A maid walked in a bowed. Silver nodded and skipped down the stairs, ignoring Aki who stared after her in confusion.
Natalie picked at her food and watched as Silver chattered lively with Kyler and every once in a while tossing a comment at Aki and Brooklyn. She suddenly wondered if it was right to keep…her from Alex. Natalie glanced over at Alex and watched him smile at Silver. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. She tough dryly, Silver was never suppose to set foot in this house nor should Alex have found out of her. She heaved a sigh that went unnoticed by everyone but Aki. He wrinkled his brow and silently wondered. His agile mind working, but not missing a beat at Silver's jib.

Silver hummed as she walked to Amy's house. She suddenly froze and looked over at the huge house. Kai's she remembered and frown, what was it that irked her. Sasatnehiel growled in the back of her head. Look at the window! Look at the window! Silver lifted her head and her hand automatically clutched Alexiel to her. She scanned row to row up and spotted a ruby red curtain.
She gasped and took a step back. Voltaire Hiwateri stood at the window with one hand pulling the curtain away. He stared down at her, his eyes cold onyx. Silver swallowed and tried to look away from his gaze. He smirked with malice and mouthed, your mine. With that he dropped the curtain, cutting off their stares. Silver stumbled and regained her balance when Sasatnehiel growled at her. She shivered at the effort it took her even to that.
" Silver?" She turned to look at Tala, Kai, Aki, Brooklyn, and Kyler. She swallowed again and turned to look at the window. Voltaire had lifted the curtains back up and was watching them.
Her vision swam and Sasatnehiel cried out in happiness and took over Silver's body. A dark sneer twisted her lips. She looked over and her eyes were blunt silver. " I'm fine." The boys narrowed their eyes, especially Tala.
" Are you sure?" Kyler asked, he didn't dislike her or wished to make her life like hell so why not be nice? He reasoned. Sasatnehiel controlled the urge to snarl, she wasn't weak. With a tight smile, " Yeah." She turned to Voltaire and bared her fangs to the boys didn't see and left.

" SILVER!" Amy squealed and tugged at Silver new hair. " It's SOOOO pretty!" Silver laughed and ran her hand through it. Kyo leaned over, " I think it'll look better in a braid." Kayra settled down and started to braid it.
" What got you to dye it?" Kayra asked since she knew that Natalie had demanded that original silver tips be washed out. Silver shrugged and waited as Kayra braided her newly died hair.
It started off with black on top until around mid-back and dipped into silver that ended at her hips immediately followed by true blue that was tinted a bit darker at spots. Silver giggled, " I really can't wait until I see their faces tonight, there's a party you know." Kayra finished and tossed the braid over Silver's shoulder.
" There's a party and I wasn't told or invited?" The two other girls nodded their agreement. Silver chuckled, " It's one of those long business ones…still wanna come?" The three girls shook their head and burst into laughter.

Silver slipped in earring that dangled lightly down to brush her shoulders. She wore a roman like dress that dipped low under her collar bone, showing her Wicca tattoo, three arks that were intertwined, and pulled her braid over one of her shoulders. The dress clung to her upper body and swirled down around her ankles. A lit knock reached her ear through the oak doors. A maid walked in and stared. " M-miss. S-s-s-silver." She finally worked out. Silver smiled softly and touched a finger to her mouth. " Shh…"
