Eira
The story, I’d heard the like all her life. A child came in to the Children’s home with a broken heart and shattered life. They left with a pain killer. What I hadn’t expected was the end. So I sit in mute silence as the impact of what was said flows over me.
The door flies open, shattering the peace of the room like glass. I shudder and retreat into the shadows, a few strands of red hair hanging in my eyes. I’m too scared to brush them away, knowing the slightest movement could give away my position. The woman who came marching in is now gathering her…sons?…and departing. Her tone, expression, movement all seem almost caring, but something about her is just, off. Maybe it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me again, but her eyes are so full of darkness. I shoulder and press my back against the wall even though she’s gone.
Then stifle a gasp.
The shadows around me are moving, shifting, swirling, dancing away. My strange eyes are trying to link the raven haired girl with this. Her fingers are barely twitching, eyes squeezed shut. She couldn’t be… it’s just my stupid eyes and mind telling me this, but the shadows appear to move around her, following her command. I shake my head, ignoring as they slide out the door.
It’s freezing in this corner, but like always temperature or pain doesn’t affect me much. Besides, I’m too focused on sorting out what’s real and what isn’t.
A woman’s scream sounds outside, sending the hair on my neck prickling. The Raven girl smiles.
I slip back into my chair. Whatever just happened, I don’t care to know.

@godlyfantasy12. Ohhh, I love it. XD Also…yeah…they’re gonna leave…but I’m gonna add a bit to that too…hehe… 😉 @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. @keilah-h. @wilder-w.
Leo
Shadows surrounded Frida, Annalise, Steffi, Adolphus, and Dietrich.
Frida screamed and ran to the car, Annalise and Steffi right behind her, though Leo couldn’t really see.
Where had the shadows come from?
The car drove away with a lurch forward, leaving them behind.
Leo coughed from the dust it had kicked up, before turning to his brothers and cousin with a slight smile. “Well…I guess that means we’re staying.”
Wolfgang grinned brightly. “YAY!”
Footsteps sounded, and Leo turned.
Frida had left Dietrich behind.
Leo blinked. Once, twice, three times.
Dietrich sighed quietly, running a hand through his black locks. “You guys can finish up your club…I’ll…wait at a table or something if I can find one…”
Leo nodded, going to get his brothers and cousin and head back inside, but Joshua walked over to Dietrich.
“Hey, Dietrich, why don’t you come inside? I mean, sure, you missed most of it, but you can still come in.”
“No…no…I’m not coming inside…I don’t belong here…I never should have come…”
“Come on, Dietrich, maybe it will help you. Maybe you can make better friends.”
Dietrich’s eyes closed and he bit his lip.
Joshua smiled softly and grabbed Dietrich’s hand with his uninjured one. “Come on…you can come in…come on.”
“No…I-I shouldn’t.”
“It’s okay….whatever you did before…you can stop doing that now and we’ll welcome you in.”
“No…I-I don’t deserve that.”
“None of us do. That’s what makes forgiveness so beautiful. Come on, Dietrich, join us for whatever time we have left.”
Dietrich’s eyes slowly opened, just as Wolfgang and Reuben also walked over, grabbing his other arm and hand.
Wolfgang smiled brightly. “Yeah…Joshua’s right! Just like Winton said, it’s how we finish that matters, not how we start!”
Reuben smiled softly. “And also like he said, what’s behind us doesn’t define us.”
Leo slowly walked over, putting a hand on Dietrich’s arm. He slowly nodded. “…They’re right, Dietrich…come on…come with us.”
Jakob had disappeared, but that was okay.
Jakob could come around later.
Leo smiled softly. “Come on.”
And, slowly, Dietrich nodded.
They walked back inside, Dietrich right beside them.
Y’ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! I AM THE HAPPIEST AUTHOR ALIVE RIGHT NOWWWWW!!!!!!! <33333
@freedomwriter76 AHHHHH!!! But oh boy…how is Jakob gonna take this?!? @elishavet-pidyon @koshka
Arabella
The door opened again…
Everyone stared, Ara’s heart beat rapidly, wondering what awaited.
But all that stood in the doorway was.
The brothers.
Leo, Wolfgang, Joshua, Reuben!
Jakob was…now where to be seen…which made her a bit nervous…but neither was their mother, or Adolphus, or…
Her eyes widened at the sight of Dietrich, his tall form entering from behind. He rubbed on arm, face pale, looking more…out of place then even November.
Ara gasped. The room tensed. Paxton flinched, shrinking into his chair.
Nyx hissed.
“What’s he doing here?” His tails flicked, ears twitching. Grimm placed a protective arm over him. Wether to keep him from getting up, or Dietrich from injuring him was…to be seen.
“Dietrich is…going to join us,” Joshua said.
Everyone stared, mouths wide.
“You’re kidding!” Nyx growled, jumping up, ignoring Grimm’s arm. The black haired girl raised a brow, crossing her arms and legs again. “Seriously?” He clutched his ribs, glaring at the tall young man, obviously remembering what had happened on his first day of school.
Dietrich rubbed the back of his neck, looking away. He looked…honestly ashamed.
Ara tilted her head, pursing her lips, narrowing her eyes to study him.
Was he…really sincere?
He’d…been such a bully for…years.
An abuser. Hurting everyone he came across.
But…did Ara really have room to…judge him? Or not allow him to join them?
She sighed, gripping Paxton’s hand gently.
The boy had gone deathly pale, shivering like a leaf.
No…she…she didn’t…
But…she would make sure that while he was here, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.
“Everyone deserves a chance,” Winton spoke up, addressing everyone, including Nyx, who still stood, nose and ears twitching.
“What?!” Nyx growled.
“Nyx…” Jocelyn spoke. He continued to glare at Dietrich as he huffed and slowly sat back down, returning to his formerly surly disposition.
The brothers made their way to their seats, Dietrich grabbing a new one.

@godlyfantasy12. Yea…I don’t know if he’ll take it the best…tbh.
Jakob
Jakob paced back and forth close to the building, fists clenched and at his sides.
He couldn’t forgive Dietrich for what he had done.
Wouldn’t.
“Hey.”
Jakob briskly turned on his heels to face his cousin. “Oh. Alec, I’m fine. Go on inside.”
“You don’t look fine. You look…well…angry.”
“Why wouldn’t I be!? Dietrich suddenly thinks that he belongs here!? He doesn’t! After what he’s done, I’ll never forgive him. Not in a trillion years.”
Alec raised an eyebrow. “Trillion? That’s a long time to hold onto something, Jakob…hey, don’t you remember what Uncle Himmler has talked about before?”
Jakob shrugged and began pacing again. “He talks about a lot of things.”
“You do remember that he said he used to be a bully in school, right? He was pressured to be one by his brothers, meaning my dad and your dad. But he was only a bully because he knew he had to be one to escape more pain…he was afraid. But eventually, he realized how wrong it was and stopped…and he’s not like that anymore. Don’t you think Dietrich can change too…?”
Jakob turned to face Alec, and against his own will, his fists relaxed. “It-it’s not the same.”
“It’s not any different. No different at all. Maybe talk to Dietrich. Figure out why he was a bully…don’t you think maybe, just maybe he was pressured to be one? Maybe by Adolphus or even by your stepmother, who is his birth mother?”
Jakob merely stared at Alec, and Alec smiled faintly. “Come on, Jakob, let’s go inside. And as soon as you get time, talk to him. Ask him. You can do it.”
Jakob sighed and playfully punched his cousin in the arm. “You know, you’re the most annoying person I know.”
Alec laughed, wrapping an arm around Jakob’s shoulders, and winked. “It’s my special talent.”
And they walked back inside the club.
Joshua
Joshua let out a deep sigh of relief.
Jakob was back inside, along with Alec.
Jakob sat down beside Leo, and Alec took his seat back beside Julius.
Joshua smiled, before glancing over at Dietrich, who sat beside him.
There was something in his eyes that Joshua had never seen him have.
Guilt. Regret. Shame.
He seemed very…out of place.
Uncomfortable.
Joshua leaned closer to him and whispered, “Hey, you don’t have to stay if you don’t want…I just thought you’d like to…”
Dietrich nodded slowly. “I…I kinda do…now that all of you convinced me…”
Joshua smiled softly. “Good. I think you’ll like it here.”
Reuben turned around to face them, since he was sitting on the floor along with Wolfgang, since it was where they wanted to sit, and smiled faintly. “…Does this mean you’re done being a bully…?” he asked softly.
“I think the bullies will kick you out.” Wolfgang said simply, also turning around.
Dietrich nodded, swallowing hard. “…I think they’ll do more than that…”

#ProtectSebI really want a scene later between Paxton and Dietrich because of what just happened between the two recently, maybe where he’s still a bit scared but Dietrich apologizes, reminding him a bit of Soren.
also…Nyx is definitely not going to trust Dietrich ANYTIME soon.

Corvina
“What are you doing?” Corvina hissed to the blonde.
Arthur was currently holding his scarf up to his face, obviously trying to look as though he were just waving it nonchalantly. But…he was failing miserably.
“Hiding.” He returned with painful laugh.
Corvina rolled her eyes, ripping the scarf from his hands, and pulling his neck in the process. He squeaked, grabbing his neck at having been choked.
Everyone turned at the sudden noise.
Arthur sat up straight, clearing his throat and then smiling as though nothing was wrong.
Everyone returned to their own thoughts.
He leaned over, “Why’d you do that?!”
“You looked like an idiot.”
“You just blew my cover.” He pouted. She raised a brow.
“What cover?”
He couldn’t argue. “Alright…fine.” He glanced anxiously at Dietrich, who…didn’t pay him the slightest attention.
“He doesn’t even know your here.” Corvina sighed, adjusting her leg, which was crossed over her knee.
“Not yet!” He hissed. “But when he does see me, he’ll tell Edrich, and Aramis That I’m coming here! You know what that means?”
“They’ll join us for cupcakes?”
Arthur pursed his lips. “No. Really, Cori, do try to keep up.”
Corvina glared at him, sticking her tongue into her cheek. She shook her head. “Stop worrying. Look at him. He’s obviously…not here for them.”
Arthur chanced a glance. “And how would you know that?”
“Because he’d be all cocky. Like he owns the world. Because that’s how they always act.”
Corvina watched as Dietrich fumbled with his shirt, glancing at his step-brothers and at others, looking entirely out of place, especially with his tall stature.
Corvina frowned, eyes furrowing.
“Then you don’t think he’s playing some sort of game?”
“No idea,” Corvina admitted, still watching him.
Their eyes met. Corvina’s graying blue staring into Dietrich’s dark ones. Seeing….
An all too familiar look.
She broke contact.
“I just…” Her mind wandered.
She too had done things that…she wasn’t proud of…things that some didn’t even know about.
Things that now, were nothing but rumors…
But, she still carried it with her…everywhere she went. The coldness. The darkness. The pain and regrets.
It changed the air. The feeling of the room. And the people in them.
Most didn’t want to be around her.
And those who did? Always wanted something.
Except…
She glanced at Arthur, who was looking at her with worried hazel eyes, hands on his knees.
“Yea…okay. I get it.” He sighed. “But…do you really trust him?”
Corvina snorted, crossing her arms. “You kidding? I don’t trust him at all! Trust has to be earned, and none of these people in here have earned it.”
Arthur leaned close, brows raised. He smirked, “Not even me?”
Corvina opened her mouth to answer but no words came out.
Arthur leaned back into his seat with a smile. “Ah, It’s okay, Cori. You don’t have to trust me. Just know that, I trust you.” Arthur turned his attention to the others, leaving his words echoing in Corvina’s head.
