Prologue
Four teenagers, ages ranging from sixteen to eighteen, sat in a sterile waiting room somewhere in Domino City. The youngest, at age sixteen, was a rather short boy with black hair that stood up in spikes with red streaks and blond bangs. His eyes were large and innocent, their violet depths shimmering with unshed tears, he wore a Domino High School uniform with a heavy looking pyramid shaped pendent around his neck. Three chairs down from him sat the oldest of the four, and eighteen-year-old male with an almost identical hairstyle except for instead of blond bangs he had blond streaks. His eyes weren't big and wide with innocence but rather sharp and cunning with a very unique crimson red coloring, like the previous he wore a high school uniform but from a different school.
The remaining two were both girls and both seventeen, they sat opposite the guys with four seats in-between each other. The more imposing of the two had short, layered brown hair with black streaks running through it, her eyes were hidden behind dark sunglasses but they were the same slashing blood red as the second guy. She wore street clothes that consisted of a pair of worn blue jeans with a thick brown belt and a baggy t-shirt that said: "Fight crime: Shoot back!" with a smoking gun underneath it, under that was a turtleneck. The last of the four had long brown hair that hung down to her hips in a tight braid, her eyes were downcast so it was hard to see their color but they were a bright aqua with violet flecks. She wore an ankle length formal black skirt with a nice dark blue shirt, hanging around her neck was an ankh on a silver chain.
"Mr. Abstar will see you now," the receptionist told them looking over her glasses at them, she watched them all stand up and walk into the office.
"Welcome," Mr. Abstar greeted them; his voice wavered and sounded old and tired just like his appearance. The elder man had white hair combed over his head in a vain attempt to hide his bald spot on the top of his head; he had kind brown eyes that peered out at them through thick glasses. "You all know why you're here so let's proceed." The youngest one burst into tears as the others stared at the older man blankly.
"I don't know about the other three, but I have no idea why I'm here, I was sent a ticket in the mail and told to come here." The girl with the sunglasses spoke up her eyes fixed on Mr. Abstar.
"You are?" He asked shuffling through his papers not looking at her.
"Cassandra Wolfe." She replied crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair with an air of cool confidence.
"Well….Miss Wolfe, I know this will come as a shock for you, I know that if it were me I would be utterly devastated, but your parents died last week." Mr. Abstar told her his tone comforting as the already crying boy began to sob harder.
"I don't have any parents, I was never adopted." Cassandra told him coldly, "If you are talking about the two people whose DNA I share, I couldn't care less."
"B-but they're your parents!" The man was horrified by her lack of emotion for the death of the two people who had given her life.
"So? They abandoned me, deliberately." She put emphasis on the last word.
"Well, ah, anyway, they have their will here and as their lawyer I am obligated to read it to you because you all are her children and you are all in it." Mr. Abstar got to his purpose of bringing them all there as all four of them eyed each other. "Please calm down Yugi, you need to hear this and if you can't if you're hysterical." The sobs let up eventually and the lawyer continued, "Here it is:
"My Dearest children, Atemu, Amaryllis, Sagira and Yugi, if you are reading this it means both your father and I are dead. We deeply regret the fact that we were unable to keep all of you together with us so you could know each other as the family you are. To each of you we leave you what we have deemed rightly yours, but to receive said inheritance you must live together like a family. A good sized apartment will be made ready for your use, you must all live together and if you are still in school, go to school together. At the end of the year if all of you have lived together you will receive your part of the will but if one of you refuse, all the others lose out as well. We will love you forever, good-bye for now."
The four sat there trying to comprehend what was going on and what this meant should they chose to do it, little did they know nothing they thought would prepare them for what would happen.
My friend told me I should post this, let me know if she was right...RR!
