Roommate

Almost an hour went by waiting for my roommate to get to the room, before I got some courage and decided to ask Dra some questions... we’ll mainly one question. 

“ hey Dra, what’s your story, like why are you here?” I almost felt unpowered asking questions getting myself a bit out of my comfort zone. The look on his face told me he had some questions of his own so I made another quick choice. “ Dra if you tell me your story I’ll tell you mine.” I said this in a finite tone making it clear that that was the only way that he would get any answered from me.

” Ok kid, sounds like a sweet deal to me, my story isn’t long at all, but I have a good feeling yours is a good one.” With that he dove right into telling me that he was abandoned at 10 by a his pack, left on the steps of the school, and how they never wrote to him or came back for him. When he was 12 years old he was adopted by the headmaster of the school and had been training ever since he turned 16 which surprisingly was only five months ago, he looks 25 but I guess that’s kinda the case with most men. 

Right as he finished the door opened to show a small group of people walking in all men, five of them to be exact and at the front of them was to my surprise a man who looked almost exactly like my brother Chance but with the slight difference of a giant scar going from one side of his head down to his lip, and another from his chin to his shoulder. Both of us standing there staring at each other caused everyone to go dead silent just looking back and forth between the two of us dumbstruck. Before anyone can react he walks over to me examining me  before lifting the hem of my shirt to confirm his suspension.

”M-midnight your alive, w-we watched them a-attack you. You weren’t moving at all.” He looked so surprised that I was alive that I survived such a terrible attack but I couldn’t look away from him, I was scared he would disappear. My brother Sebastian he’s alive was all I could think. From the look on his face he felt the same way.

” Sebastian, w-where is Nila, is she here too?” I couldn’t help but ask about my sister she use to be my exact twin my brothers looked identical as well. We all had one thing in common tho we all had a heart birthmark on our wrists, and each grew darker when we were together I could feel it now the change in color I could feel it without looking at it.

” Midnight, Nila is here but I don’t know how she will react, she hasn’t been the same since that day. She hasn’t spoken a word since we were 5.” When he said this my already shattered heart felt lighter. Everyone was still looking at us, still confused looking between us. “ oh right my friends are here, um everyone this... this is my youngest sister Midnight. Umm I guess she’s not dead like we thought.” With that he pulled me into a hug and I was content to have at least one family member that could still love me. 

“Can we go see Nila please?” I still can’t believe it it feels like I’m dreaming, but I can’t be.

”See I told you I knew your roommate, kid.” Dra said from the couch with a wicked smile on his tan face. Looking like he had just saved the best thing for last, “ I knew who you were as soon as I saw your face kid, now let’s get something straight you still owe me that story.” He walked out of the room at that last word and I was lost for words.

” Is he always like that?” I’m so confused my mind is running in loops but I’m happy.

“Oddly, no Dra must really want to get to know you, but anyway let’s go see Nila I think she should be in her room by now.” Sebastian sounds so different from Chance I can’t even think about that before he’s leading me out of the room with all of his friends close on our heels. We walk three doors down and he knocks hiding me behind his y’all buff figure. When the door opens I hear a lady talk like she has no filter on her voice. “ OMG bash what’s up, did you come over for Nila she’s in her room. Come in come in she’ll be so happy to see you again today.” She doesn’t even notice me behind him so we just walk down the hall into the room on the right not knocking, just walking in.

when I spot my sister I can’t believe it the only difference between her and I is that she hasn’t been starved, well that and her scar is across her neck. She is so beautiful even with her scars. After looking at her I know exactly why she doesn’t talk at all the scars cover where her vocal cords would be if they were not destroyed.

” Hey Nila, I got a surprise for you.” My brother said this with caution looking for her reaction to his words, before slowly stepping aside for her to see me. Her face goes from happy to shocked in a matter of seconds before she jumps on me hugging me so tight I almost can’t breath. We’re almost all together again, but Chance will never change I think to myself.
