After parting ways with my friends, I had decided to go home. My house was long and narrow, perhaps only twelve feet wide at the front, but it stretched some thirty feet back like a giant shoe box. A small rose garden had been planted in front, and although it had obviously once been carefully planned and loved. They still made me feel a bit sad when I looked at them for some reason.
*Creek*
The door to my house creaked open. The first thing to hit me was the hot winds of our Air conditioning hit my face. It was refreshing to finally get some hot air on my face.
Bonnie: Big Brother!
From the living came a small petite girl. She was my sister - Bonnie. Bonnie was a pink haired, Diamond eyed cutie that younger sibling. She was remarkably cute and almost like a dog personified. This gave her the nickname of Biscuit to me.
Cael: Hey biscuit!
I scruffed her hair.
Cael: Have a good day at school today? Biscuit?
Bonnie: You betcha! I colored this picture of you and mommy!
Bonnie pulled out a crude child-like picture of me and my mother. Interestingly enough bonnie herself wasn't in the drawing.
Cael: That looks wonderful, Biscuit!
I scruffed her hair even more.
?: Cael, Honey. Did you bring food home?
My mother came from the kitchen. My mother was a tall, crass woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She was my spitting image down to our birthmarks, it was as if My mother was just a female version of me.
Cael: Yes….
Mother: You know I make dinner every night for you! Is my cooking not good enough?
Cael: no mother… I just went out with my friends and didn't want to waste any food.
Mother: *sigh* Just like your father. Ever resourceful.
She moaned.
Mother: Now come on you two! for dinner.
Me and bonnie went to the dining room with our mother.
The dinner table was set with pork, Yams,beans and several drinks. Our mother was very proud of her cooking and artistry and took in organizing the table accordingly.
We all sat down.
Bonnie: Wow, This all looks delicious mommy!
Mom: Thanks dear. I made it with extra love.
My mother winked,
I looked down at my food It looked bright and colorful like a rainbow.
It reminded me of the letter yubie had shown me earlier...
Cael: Hey mom, I got a letter from the tournament host - Von Aries.
Mom: …..
She stopped eating and looked at me. Heyes filled with wrought and worry.
Mom: *sigh* Yes. I did receive a letter in the "Mail" today.
Cael: Von aries hosting a party of sorts at his mansion on friday and Invited me and the other quarter finalists to come along.
Cael: I was wondering if you would let me go-
Mom: Cael. I don't think you should go.
Cael: W-What why?
I asked confused.
Mom: I've heard quite the suspicious rumors about this Von Aries individual. Not all of them positive.
She said as she sipped her tea.
Mom: But just because I think you shouldn't go, Doesn't mean you can't. Please be careful though.
Cael: I will mom.
The rest of dinner was silent as even bonnie didn't say anything. I don't know why but there was ominous in my stomach as I ate. Maybe just nerves?
After Dinner I Stepped Into The Family room Where I put My school stuff down and Laid down on the Couch.
-And My Mind Drifted Off Into a Light Sleep,I Just wanted to put the stress of the tournament behind Me and move forward into a New Day of Destiny
