Chapter 16 Autumn's past

Ryo was sitting in front of the computer looking up his family history when he found out something interesting,

"Guys get in here quick."

Everyone ran into the room.

"What is it Ryo?"

"Come look what I found out about my family."

Rowen walked over to the computer and stared at the screen for a moment,

"What that can't be right."

Autumn and Sage came back from their date and started heading up stairs when Sage noticed everyone was gathered around the computer. Sage spoke up,

"Guys what's going on here?"

Ryo got up from the computer,

"Autumn can I talk to you for a second?"

"Um…sure Ryo."

Ryo took Autumn into the dinning room; the large, open space was more like a dining hall, In the middle stood an elegant oak table with seating for twelve. Looking up, Autumn noticed the steeple ceiling with a large piece of wood running the length of the room. Above her was another balcony, this one encircling the entire hall.

"So Ryo what did you wanna talk to me about?"

"Autumn what do you know about your family?"

"Well I know my father left my mother when I was born, but other then that my mom never told me anything about our family why?"

"Well you see I thought my mom dyed when I was
born and my dad dyed when I was six, but I learned today I was wrong and they were my god parents my real mother left when my younger sister was born and my father went missing when I was one."

"Then what happened to your sister?"

"She went missing when she was young."

"But how would this interest me?"

"Well do you know your full name?"

"I just know my middle name is Kari, but I never knew my last name."

"Well I do, your full name is Autumn Kari Sanada."

"But that would mean…."

Ryo nodded.

"It means I'm your older brother."

Autumn just stared at Ryo like he grew a third eye or something. Then Ryo went up to her and gave her a comforting hug.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth."

A tear touched Autumn's eye, As she returned the hug.

"It's nice to finally meet you big brother."

Ryo sat back down in the chair as Autumn brought up one more thing,

"So who's our father?"

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that."

Ryo took a deep breath,

"Our father was a great warrior in fact his whole family were filled with warriors, he hoped one day we would grow up and defend humanity just like him, but something happened and the same path he fought against he was tricked into following, When he realized this he feared the same thing for you and me and so he separated us and gave us other families."

"But who was he, what was his name?"

"His name was Anubis."
