CHAPTER 02

The thunderstorm that was outside shook my bed. What time...? My door burst open. "We're getting off in five minutes. We're already there." Anne slammed the door. She hates me...doesn't she? I put my feet on the cold wood. I don't have any clothes. I looked around the floor. And noticed a pile of clothes that looked like they were dropped by the doorway. Did Anne bring me clothes? I picked them up and put them on. They were pretty. They were once again Traditional Japanese clothes again. I sighed. There was a knock on the door. I opened it. "We're leaving." Orion smiled at me and pulled me out of the room. Already? We walked off the ship, there was a village with a seaside view. Did we come from there? There was multiple people surrounding Orion, Anne, the twins and Silfir.

"Welcome back!" An old woman embraced Orion. Is that his mother? "Okay, Okay. Yes. I'm back. I also want to introduce someone new to the village." He pulled me into his arms. "This is Atlas." All the people surrounding them looked surprised. Do I look scary...? "Oh? Is he your lover?" The old woman teased him. "Yes. He is." He was straightforward. They all started bickering on how I looked. "You sure are beautiful." The old woman touched my hair. "Thank you... You are too." I didn't know what to say. "My. You choose a good one, Orion." The old woman smirked. "You only like him because he complimented you." He looked at me and smiled. "Now...we have to go introduce him to his new home." He walked away and grabbed my hand. The villagers went back to talking to each other.

We all walked to the biggest house in the village. Is this his home? He opened the door. "Welcome home." They all walked in ahead of him. Silfir looked at me and smirked. What was that? I tilted my head. Orion pulled me away into a room. "This is our room." He showed me around. It was rustic....It fit him perfectly. Even though he looked Japanese the house didn't look like that at all.

"I think you'll like it here?" He smiled. "I see...I have a question." He looked at me. "What is it." His gloved hand caressed my hair. "Have we ever kissed?" I wanted to be straightforward. He looked surprised, but once again, regained his composure. "No. Do you want to?" He tapped on his lips. They look soft... If we're lovers why have we never kissed? "Y-Yes..." He guided my chin with his gloved hand. "Orion!" Silfir yelled from the other room. He let go of me. "We will later. Come with me." He pulled me away to the other room. "What?" He looked angry and his tone changed completely. "AM I cooking tonight?" Silfir smirked at me. Did he know what we were doing? "Seriously? Yes, you are." Orion sighed and put his finger to his forehead. "Great." Silfir went back to his book. There was another knock at the door. "I'll get that. Atlas sit next to Silfir." He pointed to the empty spot on the couch. "Ah... Ok." I walked over there and sat down without making a sound.

"Aren't you hot in that?" Silfir looked at my clothes and Anne snickered. "Yes. But it's the only thing Anne gave me." I sighed. "There should be something in Orion's closet." He told me. "What are you doing? Change." He laughed. "O… Ok." I got off the couch and into Orion's room. But what would be comfortable? There was a pair of pants that looked like it belonged to a pirate...something I would wear. I grabbed the set of clothes and put it on. I walked back out. These are comfy.

I sat back down on the couch next to Silfir again. "I see...so that's what you chose." He was still reading his book. I looked over at Anne she looked surprised I chose that. "Oh yeah... Try to be a little quieter when you're with Orion next time. I could see Anne, she was furious." He whispered to me. He heard me? I felt my face turn red. "I didn't know you heard..." He smiled. "There's no need to be embarrassed." He laughed. He's actually really nice... Unlike Anne.

"Hey...does Anne hate me?" I whispered back to Silfir. "No...she used to be his lover until you showed up, so she's a little jealous and angry. But definitely not hate. I think." He put his book down. I heard the door open back up.

"I'm back the old woman just wanted me for a little." He looked at me and saw what I was wearing.

"Why are you wearing that?"
