Hey, here's the third chapter of Horrible Perfection. It's longer than the last one like I promised. I tried to make it a little more funny than all the others before. I actually really like funny stories and since this chapter introduces Rephaim's family I thought: Why not? They are a family of 6 men and men sure can be dense at times. ;3

Nisroc is very stupid in this chapter, you'll see. He normally isn't, but this time he's really hitting the line to being crazy. He's pretty sharp actually, maybe it was because the lack of sleep? ;D

I hope you'll like it and think of it as at least a little funny. Before anyone asks: I have no idea how to pronounce the names of Rephaim's brothers either. I just put some letters into a row. Feel free to pronounce them as you like.

Characters and their ages:

Kalona ?

Stevie Rae 17

Rephaim 21

Nisroc 19

Revye 18

Equeiwa 17

Remn 16

Disclaimer:

me: I don't own anything.

Rephaim: You own them. * points at Revye, Equeiwa and Remn *

Nisroc: * stands next to his brothers feeling kinda left out * What about me?

Rephaim: She doesn't own you either.

Nisroc: Who is she even? Do we know her?

Rephaim: I don't think we-

me *hysteric*: Hahahahaha... That's enough of that. Let's start!

Chapter Three – Chaos, A House Led By Guys

"Boys!"

"Yes father?"

"Get down on an instant!"

"All of us?"

"Yes, Remn, all of you.", Kalona said. He was slowly losing his patience. He deeply and sincerely loved his sons, but they were, undeniably, a bunch of fools. And they were slow.

"Heeeeeeeey, father's calling us!", Remn yelled.

"Shut up, you goddamn little bastard!", it came yelled from a room upstairs.

"Bad enough you still cannot be quiet in the mornings, now you also torture us at day. How the hell do I deserve this?", it came from another room. Kalona needed only one more stupid answer to make him explode. Only one more...

"Go out, puppy. If you wanna howl at something, howl at the moon. It has an incredible patience, you know?"

"Oh, go to hell, Nisroc!", Remn shouted back.

"Trying to mess with me, kid?" The older appeared in Kalonas's sight. Nisroc had built up in front of his youngest brother and grinned superior. "You should better not be." His grin widened and contempt shone up in his eyes. "Don't underestimate me, Nisroc. Maybe messing with me isn't such a good idea either.", Remn tried to threat. With no success... "Hahahaha.", Nisroc laughed. "Sure."

"Oh, just drop dead, Nisroc."

Kalona was about to explode. Just how unbelievably stupid could these boys be? And why would Nisroc always have to start a fight? He already wanted to shout at them they should shut up, when he realized that nobody was talking anymore. He looked up and saw that another figure had stepped out on the stage. Rephaim. Kalona's oldest son had grabbed both his brothers and lied his arms around their shoulders. It looked highly ironic since it looked more like a situation that belonged into a teenage-girls-photo, not a fight. "So,", Rephaim asked in a calm but interested voice. "What might be the problem here, gentlemen?"

Kalona's eyebrows raised a little when he realized that Rephaim was going to put on an act. Yet, he had to admit, it looked gorgeous. Rephaim's acting always did. When he was acting you could see sides of the boy that were usually hidden. He was a person of few words and he wasn't the type for running around smiling without a reason either, so the fact how funny he could be was usually hidden.

"The problem is him!" Remn sounded stubborn- like a child. Well, he was only 16 after all.

"Gentlemen?", Nisroc asked, looking at his only older brother the same way he had just looked at his youngest. Despising. Rephaim shook his head. Nisroc was so obvious. His lick-me-attitude might have been good and working on almost everyone, but Rephaim was better. For him as the oldest, Nisroc was just as see thru as all his younger brothers. He chuckled. "I am deeply and sincerely sorry. It was my mistake. I should have known better than calling you a gentleman. Despite that my question still stands."

"He was being mean, Rephaim!", Remn whined.

"He tends to be.", the older responded.

"He was too loud! Again! You can't tell me you are not annoyed!", Nisroc tried to defend himself. Kalona always found it interesting to see how fast Nisroc could switch from his mean attitude to the why-is-nobody-ever-on-my-side one. He was still a child, too, after all.

"I'm not."

"How, you're not?"

"I am not annoyed by Remn.", Rephaim answered innocently.

"Like I'd believe that for a second.", Nisroc grunted. "Why aren't you annoyed? Is something wrong with you? With collage? OMG!" Nisroc's eyes widened in shock. "Your stupid star studies haven't led you to myths, have they? Oh, who am I kidding, of course they have! And you started thinking of belief and stuff! From many to only one god... REPHAIM! You haven't become a monk, have you? That's terrible and you've kept it a secret! Why Rephaim, why? Why couldn't you even tell your family? We could have supported you!"

Kalona blinked downstairs. Was Nisroc stupid? He was so sharp usually. What was wrong with him? Had he really missed his older brother that much when he was in collage? But then, to Kalona's greatest surprise, Rephaim started playing along.

"But Nisroc,", Rephaim's face dropped. " I didn't know how to tell you. When brother Hubert asked me to join my heart was light with joy and-" Rephaim didn't come any further. "Stop!", Nisroc shouted with an angry face. Rephaim did exactly as he was told and grinned at his brother. "What did give me away? Me exaggerating it or the mere fact how stupid the idea of me being a monk is?"

Remn, in the meantime, had fallen to the ground, laughing like crazy about his brother's show- and he wasn't the only one. His other two brothers Equeiwa and Revye had approached the corridor as well to see what was going on and ended up rolling around at the floor, already turning purple for the lack of oxygen. Even Kalona had started laughing. His sons sure could be entertaining. Even Rephaim, who would normally show no interest in interaction with people. Strange, Kalona thought. His ability of reacting quick would make him a good stand-up-comedian. Too bad he had no interest in things like that. But enough of the fun.

"Boys, down here!", Kalona said with all his authority in his voice. Each of the five boys froze in place. All expressions turned serious and all the boy's faces were now showing in his direction. Rephaim unfroze the first. He stepped over Remn, Equeiwa and Revye and made his way down the stairs to his father. Led by their oldest brother the other four boys fallowed. Kalona nodded approvingly.

"The second week of summer holidays is about to end."

"And?", Revye asked.

"Fool,"

"How can you be so clueless?"

And then it began. Everyone started talking the same time. And since it was impossible to be understood with everyone talking, they started shouting. But since they were now all shouting alongside each other they couldn't make themselves clearer than before, so they turned up the volume further. Kalona was about to snap, but then Rephaim- who had just watched the scene- spoke up: "Please go on father, don't let yourself get interrupted by these idiots."

"Idiots?", someone whispered a little offended.

"Idiots.", Rephaim confirmed.

Kalona, on his behalf, decided to take his son's advice and to make sure that he would try to figure out what made Rephaim so damn relaxed.

"Jeffery will leave his daughter Stevie Rae here with us from in two days and I want you- and just for the record: you will suffer endless tortures if you don't- to clean up."

"Cleaning up?" Nisroc raised his left eyebrow. He didn't seem to like the idea. Not that Kalona cared. "Cleaning up. There will be a girl living with us for a month and I do not wish for her to have to stay in a mess like the one you boys usually live in. As well I want you to move out of the bathroom upstairs."

"What?", Remn, Equeiwa and Revye shouted, their eyes wide.

"Yes, and the next thing I want you to do is to behave in front of her. She doesn't need to be confronted with actions like the one five minutes ago."

"With all due respect, father, that will be impossible." Kalona turned around to face the one speaking. He faced Rephaim. Thinking about it Kalona had to admit that Rephaim was right. His sons were mere troublemakers. They couldn't behave. Not even if their lives depended on it. "Do it less then. Rephaim, will you look after her a bit?"

"Yes, father."

"Very well then. And now go and do as I said."

Nisroc's pov

The brothers went back upstairs. Rephaim wanted to return to his room, but Nisroc held him back. Rephaim faced him.

"How?", Nisroc asked. His older brother's face told him he had no idea what he was talking about. "How could you not get annoyed by Remn?" Rephaim's face showed no expression. When he began talking it sounded like it was the most obvious thing in the world:

"Well, when I came home from collage Remn seemed to have the urgent desire to tell me everything, and I mean really everything I missed in three months. After five minutes I only wanted to bang my head against my desk. I did- not that Remn would have noticed... Long things short: after that life changing experience I went to the city and bought these."

Rephaim opened his hand to show Nisroc what he meant. After that he went back to his room. Nisroc just stood there with his jaw dropped. Rephaim was a genies.

Earplugs!

So, this certainly was a long chapter. Phew. =9

Rephaim studies astronomy. What do you think? I thought it was a nice idea and I wished you could see his room. It looks so awesome! Stevie Rae will try to describe it in a later chapter. His room is just so beautiful.

Hehe, I kinda like Nisroc in this story. The real reason he's so attached to Rephaim is that he needs him. Nisroc might be very clever and strong and stuff, but he stands no chance compared to Rephaim and the most important: Aside from Kalona, Rephaim is the only one who can get all his brothers under control. Without him there Nisroc had no chance. It was one against three, he never had the slightest chance. ;D

Please review.
