Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 22: please let me

         I groaned in my sleep and rolled around the soft bed I slept in. I knew it was time to wake up but I was feeling lazy to do so. If anything, I'm wishing that morning hadn't come at all.

         "Big sister! Wake up! It's already nine you know?!" I heard my brothers shout and I groaned.

         "Five more minutes." I grumbled and covered my head with my pillow.

          "Geeeez big sister, the first ranker isn't a patient one you know? Wake up already before he looses his patience. Anyway, where did you and Ryouta go off to Yesterday?" I grimaced. I hate it when he scolds me. He's not my mother ya know?

        But back to the topic, who went where?

       Oh yeah, Ryouta and I visited the orphanage and Mother Hayne but we were chased by armed men instead----

         I suddenly sat up and groaned, all the memories of yesterday night's events rushing to my head as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I saw myself staring through the hole of my hands with a frown on my face.

         But the last thing I remember, we passed out by the lake? Did the others find us there and rescued us?

        Oh gosh, we're sure to receive a lot of scolding again today. But I'm more worried about the condition of the other children at the orphanage and Mother Hayne. Damn those sickos.

       "Yeah, yeah, I'll explain later, let me fix myself first and I'll come down after a bit." I grumbled and my brother just shrugged and went out of the door, locking it after him as he went and I lazily stood up.

        Heading to the bathroom, I yawned and stretched myself. I need to prepare myself for the worst don't I?

        I clenched my teeth as I shut the bathroom door close and I placed my hands on the sink. They better make sure that they don't do anything bad to Mother Hayne and the other children or hell will break free.

        I stared at my face in front of the mirror and my eyebrows raised as I saw my clothes, different from the clothes I wore yesterday.

       I was sure I wore blue shirts instead of a tribal one. I looked down and saw that my jeans were replaced by shorts....

       Who the heck changed my clothes?!

         "Hahaha, your little bit turned to half an hour sister, check the time sometimes 'kay?" I sarcastically told my sister as she descended the stairs and took her seat around the table full of food.

         She just rolled her eyes at me and filled her plate with food as Violet asked Leo.

        "Is Ryouta not awake yet?" she asked the latter as she stuffed her mouth with a spoonful of food.

     "That's what I'm so worried about. He usually wakes up within a second when you shout food and something like that but this morning, he was fast asleep and snoring loudly. He wouldn't wake up." Leo said with a frown and I chuckled.

       Even in his sleep, with the word food... That's enough to wake him up? What a real glutton.

        "That's probably because of the tranquilizer drug." Muriel spoke up non-chantly and I raised an eyebrow. 

        "Transhwilizer whatsh?" I made a disgusted face and so did the others as Rex glared at the red-head who was busily eating.

        "Don't talk with your mouth full Alfreed, it's disgusting." the second ranker said in a tone of displeasure as the red-head rolled her eyes in their sockets, her cheeks puffed with food like a squirrel's.
