Wow! This kingdom is really beautiful.
"That's all for now," said Diana, and they walked away.
We just stared at their backs as they walked away until they were obscured by the crowd.
People here kept bumping into us, so they didn't notice us.
We were wearing hats that hid our hair and were dressed in men's clothes.
We were pretending to be men so they wouldn't keep calling us goddesses.
"We look like handsome young men," we said, with our hands in our pockets, walking with a swagger. Women kept looking at us, saying how handsome we were, yet we looked like women.
Haha! I wanted to laugh when we bumped into an old man. We helped him stand up. He looked to be in his mid-30s, and even though he was older, his handsomeness was still evident.
"Oh, I'm sorry, young men," he said.
We slightly deepened our voices.
"It's okay, sir… May we ask you a question?" Sharlene asked.
"What is it?"
"Where can we find a place to stay?" Xian asked.
"Oh, young men! The hotels here are full, but there is an extra room in my house," he said with a smile.
"Is that okay?" I asked.
"Follow me, boys," he said.
So we followed him. What is this place?! It's like the mortal world.
It wasn't outdated; they kept up with the mortal world. The houses were beautiful.
We were at the corner when we heard some noise and this old man middled in them.
"Are you really fighting here? Go over there," the old man said.
They laughed.
"We're not fighting, uncle. Are they here?" asked a fair-skinned guy with red hair.
"You kids… go ahead inside," the old man said, and the five guys laughed and entered the large house.
It was beautiful and just the right size.
When we entered, we were greeted by a beautiful garden and even a swimming pool.
Nice
"Hey, you came by?" Three guys came out of the house then.
"Talk inside," said the old man.
So they went inside, and we kept our heads down to avoid being recognized as women.
We also went inside and were seated on the sofa while the men chatted.
"Why can't I sense your presence?" asked a guy with black hair suddenly.
So their attention turned to us.
We didn't answer. We looked at the young girl and boy walking down the stairs, who seemed grumpy.
"Who are you?" the boy asked irritably. They looked about 8 years old.
"Sit down, everyone," the old man was there now.
They all sat down. A woman, probably the old man's wife, came out of the kitchen.
"Boys, where are you from? You look new here," the old man asked.
"We're from the immortal world," I replied.
"Ah, I see… I'm Quir The father of this family "
"It's nice to meet you, boys… I'm Pein, Quir's wife. These are our children, Quin and Knight," she pointed to the young girl and boy.
"And their older brothers, Austen, Dark, and Blake," Uncle Quir pointed out.
"Our friends… Fall, Yusik, Colbie, Matthew, and Autumn, Fall's brother," Dark said.
Ahh.
We just nodded.
"Answer my question. Why can't I feel your presence? Are you hiding it, or do you have no power?" Autumn, the one with black hair, asked.
"We don't have powers yet," Xian replied.
They started whispering weakly.
They're all weak...
"That's why," said Fall, the one with red hair.
We looked at Quin and Knight as they approached us, frowning and crossing their arms.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Aunt Pein said apologetically.
I scanned them and saw they had the ability to see what someone was hiding by looking into their eyes.
Knight reached for my hat. Quin reached for Xian's.
I grabbed Knight's hand as he tried to remove my hat.
"They're pretending, Mom!" Quin said.
Their eyes widened in confusion, wondering what kind of pretense this was. They stood up and moved away from us while I held Knight's hand, smiling as he glared at me.
"You kids have sharp eyes," Sharlene said.
"Remove those caps," Quin said irritably, removing their hands.
Aunt Pein looked scared, so we stood up.
"Sorry for pretending," I said in my real voice.
(Dark's POV)
Wait, why does she have a woman's voice? Don't tell me they're gay?
"What do you mean, boys?" Mom asked fearfully.
"Mom, why are you scared?" Quin asked, hugging Mom. Mom picked him up.
The three men still had their heads down.
"We're not actually men," one said.
Gay?!
We were shocked when they spun around and their clothes changed to high-waist shorts and black shirts. They removed their caps, almost making our jaws drop.
Our eyes widened.
Time seemed to slow down.
They were as beautiful as goddesses. Pale skin, red lips, perfect noses, rosy cheeks.
And curves body
Wow! One word to describe them: GORGEOUS!
The three women cleared their throats, snapping us back to reality.
" Why? " Dad asked
"Ah, yes… sorry again," said the girl with blue hair and dark blue eyes.
"We had to do it… their whispers were annoying," the girl with black and red hair and dark violet eyes said irritably.
"We hope you're not mad at us," said the girl with gold eyes and gold hair with yellow tips.
Mom and Dad quickly nodded while we just stared at them.
They sat back down on the sofa, and we also sat, still staring at them.
Wow! They're so beautiful!
"Triplets… call me X or Blue," said the one with blue hair, without any emotion on her face.
She's probably very beautiful when she smiles.
"Crimson or Red," said the one with black and red hair.
"I'm the youngest, Sharlene or Yellow," said the one with gold hair and eyes.
Mom and Dad snapped out of it.
"Sorry, dears, you're just so beautiful," Mom said with a smile.
"You look like goddesses, you know that?" Dad said.
"That's why we disguised ourselves," Yellow said.
"We planned to reveal ourselves, but Quin and Knight beat us to it," Red said.
They're really beautiful.
"Ouch!" I yelped as Yellow flicked my forehead.
"Why did you flick me?" I asked.
"You were staring," she said indifferently.
I didn't know why, but my face felt hot, so I went to the kitchen to drink some water.
(Sharlene's POV)
"Come on, dears, I'll take you to your room… Is it okay if you stay together? There are three beds, but it's a bit messy," Aunt Pein said.
"It's okay, we'll clean it up ourselves," Xian said without emotion.
"Get settled, dears… we'll call you when it's time to eat," Uncle Quir said.
We nodded and went upstairs, noticing Matthew following us.
Dark's five friends were with us.
We let them be since they might also have something to do upstairs, but they entered our room too.
"What do you think you're doing?" Crimson asked.
"We just want to see your room," Yusik said.
We ignored them.
There was a sofa and a bookshelf and three beds about an arm's length apart from each other.
We stood there, thinking about how to make the room look better.
We stood for about two minutes.
Xian went to the bookshelf because it was messy.
I took down the dirty curtains and put my backpack down. Good thing I brought some.
I replaced them and put the old curtains on the bed. There was also a bathroom here.
I went to the bathroom and got a bucket and rag. I wet the towel and wrung it out, wiping the windows until we finished cleaning.
The five just watched us.
We even had them mop the floor since they were just watching us.
We also changed the bed sheets and pillows.
The books were now neatly arranged.
The bed on the left was mine, the middle one was Crimson's, and the right one was Xian's.
"Uhmm, Blue… do you like books?" Autumn asked.
Xian nodded.
Xian was sitting on her bed, leaning against the headboard, reading a book.
Autumn sat on the edge of Xian's bed, looking at the book and seemingly reading along.
I sat by the window, holding a sketchbook.
I like to draw.
I sketched Xian with Autumn beside her.
Actually, I sketched all of them.
It's like a story.
I just want a remembrance for our journey.
I closed my sketchbook and opened it to the first page.
"Sharlene Shine Yellow Myers Sketch Remembrance"
I turned to look at who was speaking. Fall was standing beside me.
He was leaning so close that our faces were about two inches apart when I looked up at him.
He was reading the first page of my sketchbook.
Below the name was my laminated picture from the mortal world.
The picture was up to my waist, I was in a sports bra.
I took the picture myself.
My hair was yellow, and I had gray eyes.
My skin was naturally white.
I was smiling in the picture with a blue bird on my shoulder.
I also have a dimple.
My abs were visible.
The background was also by a window.
"Wow! Is this your full name? You're so sexy, and you have a dimple," Fall said, examining the picture closely.
When he turned to face me, he accidentally kissed the side of my lips.
I frowned.
He moved away and looked down.
"S-sorry," he stammered.
"Tsk," was all I said, focusing back on my sketchbook.
I flipped the page.
"Xiandrellyn Blue Myers, Crimson Red Myers," he read.
At the top of the page were Xian's and Crimson's names, with their pictures below.
Xian's was a stolen shot. She was sitting Indian-style, resting her chin on her hand, smiling as she watched a happy family.
Below Crimson's name was her sexy shot.
She was just in a towel.
It was supposed to be a stolen shot, but she posed.
She was sitting on her bed, showing her thigh and cleavage.
She was turned slightly, looking at the camera, lip-biting and winking.
Isn't it just seductive?
Matthew, Autumn, Yusik, and Colbie were already standing beside me. Fall was also looking.
"Wow!!" they exclaimed in surprise.
"You're so beautiful there. What kind of thing is this?" Matthew asked.
"It's called a picture in the mortal world," I said without emotion.
