"It's nice to meet you Henry, but I can't breathe." I gasped as he released me. Geez he was strong.

"Sorry, I just got a little carried away there, well let's get you home." I smiled at that word. I had had a lot a places to live, but none of them had been my home, not even the orphange with Nicki.

"I can't wait."

We got into Henry's nice car which I loved and headed down town towards Manhattan. I liked that they loved so nicely, it made me feel less intrucive.

"So little sister, what exactly is your name again?" Henry asked blushing at me from behind the wheel.

I smiled at his cute look of shame. "It's alright, most people don't remember it the first time they hear it. It's Sina, S I N A. Sina Beau Pre."

"Sina, I like it, it's unique." Henry said smiling back at me. "I think you'll like it here, how old are you?"

"I'm seventeen, but I'll be eighteen in two months."

He frowned, "Does that mean your Birthday is near Christmas?" Clearly he knew how awful it was to have a December birthday.

"Well actually it's on New Year's Eve. December 31."

"It's better than mine. Which is on the 24th."

I giggled, "That is pretty terrible."

Henry and Edward exchanged looks that I couldn't quite read, they were somewhere between excited and worried. I wondered what they had to be worried about. Well i guess i would find out sooner or later.

"So," I asked breaking the silence that had fallen. "What's my other brothers name?"

Edward jumped on this subject, "His name is William, He's awaiting our arrival at the house."

"Yes, he will be your tough critic though. It is him that you must impress. Though once you break him he really is just a puppy." Henry said through fits of giggles. Right now I really didn't mind a though critic, as long as he lets me be his new little sister.

"Ah, hear we are," said Edward staring out the window. "Home sweet Home."

I quickly scooted to the window in the back seat of the car and stared in awe. It was a freakin' mansion. I was in Heaven, or hell, but if it was hell then my names the Devil because i'm never leavin'.

I stepped out of the car right behind Edward and just kept staring. "Geez, you're rich." I stated still with my mouth handind open like a moron.

Henry laughed and pushed my mouth closed. "Well I wouldn't say rich."

"I would."

He laughed again, "Oh yeah, she'll fit in perfectly."

Edward had gotten my bags out of the trunk and was leading us into the huge house. It looked like a castle you would picture a king and Queen living in. I thought it reminded me of the castless in the stories my mother used to tell me when I was little. Where the princess would meet her prince and live happily ever after. I didn't know any princes but I'm pretty sure I was going to get my happily ever after.

"William?" Edward called as we entered the Castle, which is what I planned on calling my new home. "Come and meet your new sister."

"It took you long enough." Said a man coming out of the room right off of the foyer where we were all standing. "So this is her?" He said staring at me with a slight smile.

"Woah, that was harsh baby brother, say hello properly." Henry said smacking William upside the head. William rubbed his sore head and gave Henry an icy glare.

He was different, William was different. Edward and Henry both had light brown hair and green eyes, but William's hair was entirely white and his eyes were dark, almost black, they actually scared me alittle.

William smiled a funky and totally for show smile and stuck out his hand. "Nice to finally meet you little sister,"

"Sina." Edward and Henry said at the same time.

"Sina then, nice to meet you Sina, I'm William."

I smiled a little but not really, there was no reason for me to smile at him so I just let my icy violet eyes pierce his. It worked and fe flinched away from me.

"Nice to meet you to William, but I'm really tired, can I go to bed?" I asked not knowing if that was alright or where my bedroom was.

Edward looked from me to William and seemed to be thinking about something but dropped it, "Sure, Henry why don't you take her to her room?"

Henry nodded and grabbed my things before I could even try to help. "I'd love to." At that he motioned for me to follow him up the pretty winding staircase and up to the sedond floor. There were hilted paintings on the walls of people from different eras and times. They must be relatives of theirs. I passed one that was of a beautiful woman in white. She had totally black hair and silver eyes that held great joy in them. She was going to be my favorite.

Henry took me up to a set of doors and stopped. "This is it," he said opening the doors and walking in. "This will be your room, and next door is William's if you need anything. Dad's and my rooms are on the East wing, on the other side of the house."

I looked around the hugungous room that was supposedly mine and practically gasped. It wasn't pink! It was red and gold and black, my favorite colors. I wanted to through my hands around Henry and scream my thanks, but I didn't, that was just a little too much. Instead I squealed with glee. "I love it!"

Henry laughed his booming laugh and placed my suitcase down at the end of my bed, It was a queen sized bed with black sheets and blood red pillows. The walls of the room were a honey gold that seemed to melt to the room. It was four times the size of my old rooma at the orphanage.

I flopped down on the bed and sighed heavily, Henry seemed to get teh hint and headed for the door. "I'll see you later little sister." He said and then left me to my rest.

I actually fell asleep, I hadn't ment to sleep at all. But the bed was just tooooooo comfy. I got up from my bed and went to look out the window and realized that I had a balcony.

I opened the doors and went out into the cold night air. It was high up here but I wasn't the least bit afraid of heights. It must be past ten. There were lights off in the distance that were probably Chicago. We were a little ways out of the city but still close enough to go there whenever it was necessary.

I leaned against the railing and just thought about today. I was in Chicago. Yesterday I was in New Mexico sstaring a new school and now I was in Chicago, I was adopted, and I was smiling like a mad woman. Though I missed Nicki a lot. This thought broke my smile immediately.

"Why are you suddenly so sad?"

I jumped and spun around to see William standing on the balcony right next to mine. "Geez, you freaked me out."

He smiled that smirkish lopsided smile, "Sorry little sister, I was just watching you and you went from extremely happy to seriously depressed in less then a second." He didn't look exactly caring but curious. "why?"

I looked back out at all of the trees and stars around the house, we were perfectly secluded out here and I liked it. I took a deep breath, "I just miss someone that's all."

"Who?"

A picture of Nicki and I when we spent last christmas under my covers telling eachother scary stories because we both hated Christmas. I was trying to cheer her up and that was the only thing I could think of. I had worked perfectly, and we ended up loving that Christmas.

I turned back to William, "My daughter."

You don't actually think I would leave it at that now do you? Of course I would, but since it's only 11:36 p.m. i'm going to keep going.

"Huh?" was all he could say to that, his face was somewhere between amazed and worried. The amazed part I understood but the worried part was surprising.

"Don't worry, she isn't my real daughter Einstein." I looked away from him again, not willing to meet his eyes because I knew I was about to cry.

"So, she's someone from the orphanage?" He asked hopping from his balcony over to mine.

I turned around and sat down at the table positioned a little ways away from the railing. I was sad now, really sad. "Yeah, she's the only thing that gave me hope when I was younger. She came to the orphanage when she was only one year old. I was five years old and loved to take care of her. I taught her to walk, to talk, even to ride a bike. I was as much a mom to her as she was a daughter to me, and I miss her." at the end of my speech i was blubbering. tears falling down my pale cheeks with no end. The tears probably made my eyes look even more sparkly. Crap I was crying in front of the critic.

I looked up to see William staring at me expressionless. It was comforting in a way. I liked that he wasn't pitying me.

We stared at eachother for a while before he spoke again. "So, now that I know why you were sad, why don't you tell me why you were happy?"

I smiled for real this time, "Isn't it sort of obvious?" I stood up and walked back into my room, I heard William follow so i didn't turn around until I reached my bed. "This is why." I pointed to the bed and turned to see his reaction.

"A bed?" He asked questioningly

My smile got bigger, "Only the most comfy bed I've ever slept on." My smile was humungous, I could tell by the way William looked at me like I was insane.
