A/N: OK so here's a new update I didn't do the best check on the spelling and grammar so if you see something please tell me so I can change it seriously. Anyway I know I should be working on my story "the ninja like ways of being a cat" but I have a bit of writer's block on that one and I am really excited about this one. But eventually I know my excitement will wear off and I'll probably start writing for that story again just give me a bit.
Disclaimer: I'm absolutely broke and so is my brother so I can't ask money from him…darn so don't sue
What had happened? How had it all fallen apart so fast? I suppose it all started with breakfast the morning after we arrived.
I woke with a gasp, tears falling down off my cheeks there was a thump under me I heard Romano curse.
"Feliciano are you ok?" he whispered from the lower bunk. I nodded, and then I realized he couldn't see me.
"Yeah I'm fine go back to sleep Fratello" sometimes we would speak in Italian with both parents that were Italian it made sense we knew how to speak it fluently.
"Don't you dare pull that crap with me! Tell me about your nightmare!" I was confused, how had he known it was a nightmare. Just then there were a few creaks and there was pressure on the end of my bed.
"Romano?" I asked I was almost positive it was him but since my vision wasn't completely adjusted I couldn't make out any details.
"Who else idiot." He snapped still whispering I looked over the railing of my bed and saw that both Ludwig and Antonio were still asleep. I sighed I didn't really need them to get involved with my problems.
"So, tell me or I'll throw you off the bed." He said, seemingly frustrated with my silence. I knew he wouldn't actually throw me off the bed but I knew I couldn't keep it from him forever.
"I keep having a nightmare of mama and papa lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I-I just think maybe I could have helped in some way." I see Romano look at me with a fierce look in his eye.
"Don't you dare say that idiot you couldn't have done anything, now I don't want to hear you say that again." We sat there in silence for a while before he spoke.
"Scoot over idiot," he asks I look at him confused he looked at me and rolled his eyes.
"You really expect me to climb all the way back down, now scoot over." I complied and he laid down I laid down next to him. It reminded me when I was really little and I would have a bad dream or there was a thunderstorm and I would crawl into bed with him. Mama and papa would find us like that in the morning and Romano would blush bright red as mama would laugh. I remembered the bittersweet memory as I drifted off to sleep for a second time.
"Awe there so cute! I almost don't want to wake them up. Oh well" I heard a hazy familiar voice say as I carefully weaved in and out of dreamland and reality.
"WAKE UP" a loud voice called making me lose my balance and crash into reality.
"Fucking Godamn bastard he can just-" I heard my brother next to me as he blushed bright cherry tomato red and started mumbling very angry curses at Antonio the one who woke us up.
"Good you're up breakfast" Ludwig said who was next to him at the edge of the bed. They were both sitting there at the edge of the top bunk bed. Antonio was smiling while Ludwig just had a neutral look to him. They both climbed down the ladder and after me and Romano (who was still mumbling curses) gained our bearings we climbed down after them.
Other kids followed us down the steps. Some of them I recognized from dinner last night.
"Hi Feliciano!" A girl bopped over to me. She had auburn-ish hair and a small curl sticking out like both of the Vargas brothers.
"Hey Camilla!" I said. I had met her last night at dinner at dinner she was eight like me.
"Hi Romano!" She said looking at Romano who looked annoyed but I could see the small smile on is face.
"I'm really excited for breakfast! Every Saturday we get pancakes." She said smiling grabbing my hand and dragging me down the stairs.
"Hey wait! " I hear Romano say was he chases us down the steps. When we finally got down steps we headed towards the dining room Romano right behind us.
The dining room was the largest room in the building it had several small tables all kind of mixed up. It was chaos complete and utter chaos. Camilla led me over to a wooden table in a corner and Romano followed behind us. At each spot there was a plate with two pancakes on it, each of us sat down and started to eat. It was loud and noisy like a cafeteria at school.
"OK! Quiet now!" I heard Bella's voice ring out through the room the voices resided as every sat down and was quiet.
"Ok then, now I want everybody to be on their best behavior today. We have a couple who is thinking about adopting one of you." Excited whispers followed her statement. "So after breakfast I want everybody to help clean up around here understood" there were many nods and a few annoyed looks.
"Ok then! You can eat!" And just like that it was loud and noisy again.
"I hope I get adopted." I heard Camilla say from beside me as she pushed around a piece of pancake with her fork.
"I bet you will!" I said, I mean how could she not, she was really nice and sweet, lots of people would love a daughter like her. She smiled.
"You think so?" she asked looking at me a bit of hope in her eyes.
"Yes you idiot now eat." I heard Romano say on the other side of her. Breakfast ended pretty quickly and soon we were all cleaning, it was actually a lot of work. We had to make sure all our rooms were clean and that everything was wiped down and not dirty. We also took turns using the five bathrooms in the house to take showers. Some of the girls had gotten dresses on and put there hair up in some elaborate hair style, this included Camilla.
"Are you sure I look ok?" Came her voice, she had on a green dress with her hair up in a French braid another girl had put it in.
"Yes you look fine; we've been over this before you. Look. Fine." Romano said laying face down on his bed. Camilla beamed and ran over to hug Romano.
"You're so sweet Romano!" She exclaimed as she hugged him.
"Get off!" He said trying to pry her fingers from around his waist. But the hug was interrupted by Bella's voice.
"Their here! Places!" Came her shout It was still for a moment as people processed the information. Then it went crazy as people rushed to their doors. Camilla rushed off waving as she did. Me and Romano stood in front of our room along with Antonio and Ludwig. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and voices drifted through the halls.
"…So are you thinking about adopting a boy or a girl" I heard Bella's voice ask, I could just barely see the couple. The woman had bright blonde hair (obviously dyed) and Green eyes. She looked very proper. The man had a grey suit on and had black hair and a mustache along with brown eyes. They both looked very rich with lots of jewels and expensive clothing.
"We were thinking about a boy." Said the woman smiling a bit I frowned I didn't like this woman very much.
"Ok then lets start with the boys rooms this way." Bella said leading them down the boy's hallway. They passed all the boys only stopping a one boy- his name was Roderich I think. But after a bit continued on. They then stopped at me and Romano.
"Well aren't you cute!" Said the woman pinching Romano's cheeks I winced a bit.
"Go away woman" He said squirming out of her grasp.
"I think if it's alright we'll take him" she said pointing at Romano. Panic flooded me, what about me they couldn't adopt him with out me…Right?
"I'm sorry but you have to adopt him and his brother." The woman's happy demeanor dropped as she looked at me. Then she smiled, it looked like a cruel smile.
"Can I talk to you for second?" The woman said to Bella and lead her away I could see them talking in the background. Then Bella turned towards the woman's husband.
"Now if you follow me I can take you to sign paperwork." She said my eyes lit up. They were going to adopt us! We weren't even really here for a day! They followed her out of the hallway and back down the steps.
"I can't believe you're getting adopted, I've been here for years and I've never been adopted." Antonio said as he smiled clapping me Romano and me on the back.
The rest of the half an hour that they were gone was spent getting congratulations from everybody. Even Camilla who was a bit mad at us still managed a thin lipped goodbye and congratulations.
Bella walked up the steps and then found Romano and me who were surrounded by people wishing us good luck.
"Romano please pack your belongings." That's when everything stopped. What about me? Bella then turned toward me an apologetic look in her eye.
"I'm sorry Feliciano but you're staying here." That's when the world stopped I looked at her she was lying. I looked at her rage building in me. How dare she! How dare she, separate us!
"I hate you! I hate you!" I screamed at her going to go hit her but Romano held me back.
"No, I'm not going," He said she looked at him and shook her head.
"I'm sorry but you don't have a say in this, pack your bags or I'll have to drag you to them with none of your stuff. " She said walking away. The world was stopped all the kids were shocked. But Romano just walked into our room and started packing his stuff. I followed him. Without turning around he started to speak.
"I promise you that when I turn eighteen I'll come find you ok. Don't do anything stupid." He said as he finished packing and I followed him down the stairs. The man and the woman were standing there fake cold smiles on their faces.
"Time to go home Romano." The lady said as they lead him to a waiting car. I stood there until I couldn't see the car anymore. Then I broke down crying. Everything was going wrong and I couldn't do anything about it anything at all. I felt Camilla hug me telling me that everything was going to be ok and that everyone was here for me and that me and Romano would see each other again she just knew it.
That night I opened my mama's art kit and was hit with a blast of her smell like she was there with me. I took out a pencil and a piece of paper and started to draw. At first I didn't really know what I was drawing, but then it started to take shape. It was a picture of our family smiling standing in a meadow.
That night I cried my self to sleep the picture of my family in my hands.
A/N: ok so I know that the adoption process is not that quick by a long shot but this is fiction people plus their rich so I have a feeling that comes in handy. But it's fiction. Seriously.
Also please tell me who you guess Camilla is sort of based off of.
First person who gets it gets...
dun dun dun... a life time supply of air! Yeah!
