Without warning, Justin picks me up before throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of flour.
"Oof!"
My silver eyes widen in surprise as I brace my hands against his back.
"Put me down you-"
"Sexy hunk of a man?"
Justin interrupts causing my eyes to narrow in annoyance.
Is he serious?
"More like an egotistical boy."
"Ouch!"
Justin remarks in mock hurt as he makes his way toward the doors of the mansion.
"Justin!"
I warn as I squirm and kick my legs.
"Raya-"
"Put me down!"
I yell as he walks into the house with James following after.
This is ridiculous!
"Justin?"
A motherly voice asks.
"Hey, mom."
Mom?!
"Justin, put me down this instant!"
I yell as I pound my fists against his back in anger.
"No, I'm good."
"Justin, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Moore asks with her voice laced with confusion.
"Well, my girl here wouldn't get out of the truck so I decided to carry her out."
Justin explains with a small shrug.
Your girl?
"I am not-oof!"
Justin shifts me on his shoulder causing a sound of uncomfort to escape my lips.
"Justin!"
I growl out in anger before reaching down to pinch Justin's side causing him to yelp.
"Raya! Don't-ow! Stop-ouch!"
"Now put me down."
I threaten and suddenly my feet hit the ground.
I lift my gaze to meet Justin's piercing gaze to see thay his face is only inches away. Justin looks down at me with amusement as a smirk pulls at his lips.
"I...um..."
Before I can form a complete sentence, Justin spins me around to face Mrs. Moore.
She looks to be in her mid thirties with fair skin and a very slender physique. She has long dark brown hair that falls in tight curls over her shoulders. She has kind ocean blue eyes and a sweet smile that pulls at her lips. She wears a red flannel over a black tank top, a pair of blue jeans and finally brown leather boots.
"Uh, hello?"
I mumble take a step back as I give a small wave.
"Hello, I'm Rebecca Moore."
Mrs. Moore says as she holds out a hand which I quickly take with a small smile.
"Raya Silver, nice to meet you."
"And you as well, dear."
Mrs. Moore states before shifting her gaze to her son.
"So, has Justin been behaving well?"
She asks glancing at me with her blue eyes and I smirk.
"Not at all."
I answer causing Justin to glare down at me in annoyance.
"Thanks alot, Rae."
He mutters causing me to raise an eyebrow.
Rae? Seriously?
"Rae?"
I ask causing him to nod.
"Yup."
"No, that is a horrible nickname."
I state causing his eyes to light up in amusement.
"How about babe then?"
I scowl before reaching over and roughly pinching his arm.
"Ouch!"
Justin yelps in pain causing Mrs. Moore to laugh.
"Do you both go to the same school?"
Mrs. Moore asks as she wipes down the counters and I nod.
"Yes, but I haven't been attending very long."
I answer causing Mrs. Moore to look up at me in curiousity.
"Really? Did you just move here?"
She asks and I nod.
"Yeah, just a few days ago actually."
  "So, where did you move from?"
"Um, I'm more of a traveller so nowhere in particular."
I shrug as I shift my gaze around the room to take in the decor.
It's not like I can tell the truth...
"That sounds fun, would you like to stay for dinner?"
Mrs. Moore asks looking up to meet my gaze.
"Oh, no thank yo-"
"She would love to!"
Justin interrupts as he wraps his arm around my shoulders.
"Justin-"
"What babe?"
He asks and I elbow him in the ribs causing him to double over in pain.
"I already told you that I need to get James home."
I state glancing over at my brother who gives a small smile.
"But-"
"No buts!"
I interrupt causing him to scowl before turning his attention to James.
"Hey, you hungry?"
Justin asks causing James to nod.
"Yeah!"
I swear it's like these two are working together to drive me insane!
"James!"
"What?"
James asks looking up at me with his innocent gray eyes, but I know better.
"I'll add two more plates to the table!"
Mrs. Moore says as she pulls down two more plates from the shelf along with some more cutlery.
"You really don't have to-"
"But I do, I would like to meet Justin's friends-especially the girl friends."
Mrs. Moore says with a wink causing my face to flush red from embarrassment.
"No, we're not-"
"I'm just joking, dear."
Mrs. Moore laughs and I frown.
That's not a very funny joke....
"Raya? Do you and James like spaghetti?"
Mrs. Moore asks as she lifts her gaze to meet mine.
"Oh, I really should be going. Besides, I wouldn't want to intrude."
"Believe me, dear. It really isn't any trouble."
Mrs. Moore waves her hand dismissively and I glance at James.
He seems to want to stay...
"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt-"
"Great! We're going downstairs!"
Justin states as he grabs hold of my wrist.
"Okay, I'll call down when dinner is ready."
Mrs. Moore states as Justin leads James and I down stairs into a large game room.
The walls are painted a light gray with a dark gray carpet. There is a large couch resting on the center of the room as it faces a massive tv hanging on the wall. A wooden coffee table rests in front of the couch with several coasters scattered on top of its surface. Several shelves full of movies and video games line the walls on either side of a long and narrow table that holds several game consoles.
"Whoa..."
That's a lot of games...
My gaze then shifts to the pictures lining the walls.
"This is where my dad and I hang out in our spare time."
Justin says with a small smile before making his way over to the shelf full of games.
"I'm assuming no violent games with James in the room?"
Justin asks causing James's eyes to narrow.
"Hey, I can play any video games th-"
"James."
I warn giving my little brother a small glare. James crosses his arms as a scowl pulls at his lips.
"No drugs, alcohol, blood, nudity or language."
I state causing James to roll his eyes.
I know that he's grown up around most of this stuff, but he asked for normal....this is normal.
"Your parents strict?"
Justin asks causing James to shake his head 'no'.
"No, dad doesn't really mind. It's just Raya even though she knows that I-"
"Nap time!"
I interrupt glancing at James.
Don't give anything away...
"Okay, listen to your sister."
Justin states as he hands James a fuzzy blanket.
James is quick to bury himself in the covers before letting out a small yawn as he closes his eyes.
"Have you ever played Call of Duty?"
Justin asks as he holds up a game case.
"No, I haven't."
I answer with a small shake of my head.
I don't think I've ever even heard of it...
"Well, there is violence, but since James is almost asleep is it okay if we play?"
Justin asks and I glance over at James to see that he is indeed about to fall asleep.
"Sure."
I agree causing him to smile as he sets up the game and hands me a controller.
"Okay, so how do I play?"
I ask looking down at the strange controller and all of its weird buttons.
I've only ever played on a Wii...
Justin goes over all of the rules before finally pressing the 'play' button.
My eyes scan over the screen as I take in all of the buildings surrounding my little character.
"So, are we on teams?"
I ask noticing the group of people around me.
"Yeah, so don't shoot me, okay?"
"Then who do I shoot? There's no one here..."
I mutter letting my eyes scan over the building in search of any life.
This is all to familiar...
"There will be, look at your map on the bottom of your screen. The red dots are your enemies, shoot them."
I frown as my eyes scan over my map to see green arrows, but no red dots.
Is he color blind?
"I think you're crazy..."
I mutter under my breath as I begin walking forward.
Without warning, the sound of gunshots fills my ears causing my eyes to narrow.
I'm being shot at!
"Oh, heck no."
A small smirk pulls at my lips as I dive behind a car.
My eyes scan over the screen as I take in every detail to decide the best course of action.
I glance over the roof of the car to see that two enemies are shooting at me.
"Shoot!"
I exclaim as I shoot both of them in the face with ease.
"You're violent..."
Justin mutters, his voice laced with surprise as I run around searching for more enemies to shoot.
"Mwahahahaa!"
I laugh having already destroyed ten men.
"Oh, what have I done?"
Justin mumbles quietly under his breath and I smile.
"This is awesome! I'm coming over every night to play Call Of Duty."
I remark as I grab some ammunition for my gun.
I don't want to buy a new gun.
I like the one I have.
"Okay, what's next?"
I ask looking around in confusion.
It's been rather quiet...
"Dogs."
Justin answers with a frown and I glance over in confusion.
Dogs?
"What?"
I ask just as the sound of gunshots and barking fills my ears.
I glance over to see a rather adorable dog running towards me as it barks.
How cute!
"Awe, do I get a dog?"
I ask with excitment.
How cool would it be to have a fierce dog fighting along side me.
"What?! No! Shoot it! Shoot the dog!"
Justin exclaims causing my eyes to narrow in confusion.
What?
"I have to shoot the dogs?!"
I ask as I run up the stairs in an effort to get away from the situation.
Is he serious?
"Yes, they'll eat off your face."
He answers causing me to frown.
"I'm not killing an innocent dog."
"Then it's going to kill you and it's a computer."
Justin states causing my eyes to narrow.
"Well-"
Suddenly a dog tackles my little character to the ground and begins to bite me.
"Crap!"
I yelp unsure as to what I should do.
Justin shoots the dog and I frown in disappointment.
"Man, that dog was vicious!"
"I told you so."
"No, you didn't!"
"Yes, I-"
'Ring!'
'Ring!'
'Ri-'
"Hello?"
I ask as I answer my phone before continuing to shoot the bad guys.
"Lalalalaaa."
Jo sings loudly into the phone.
"What are you doing?"
I ask causing her to giggle.
"I drank coffee!"
Of course she did...
"I can tell, where are you?"
I ask before hearing a loud thud.
"Oomph!"
"You okay?"
"I just fell off of the bed..."
Jo whines and I laugh.
  "No more coffee for you."
I state as I dart behind a car.
"What? No!"
She squeals causing me to drop my phone.
"Jeez! Would you stop screaming?"
I growl in annoyance after getting shot at.
My poor ears...
I set my phone in the coffee table before clicking the speaker button.
"So, what's up?"
I ask as my gaze scans over the screen.
"Oh, just watching my husband kill demons."
Jo sighs in a rather girly voice.
"Husband?"
"Dean Winchester."
She answers she answers with a sigh as if she's daydreaming about Dean.
"Hey, if Dean is anyone's husband he's mine since you already have a boyfriend."
I joke with a small smirk.
I notice Justin's muscles tense as if uncomfortable.
"Who?"
Jo asks with her voice laced with confusion.
"Nathan Ross."
I answer causing a sound of disbelief to escape her lips.
"Raya!"
I laugh out loud just as my little character is surrounded be bad guys.
"So, what's up?"
Jo asks in an effort to change the subject.
She already knows I'm right...
"I'm shooting a bunch of guys in their heads. There are dogs too and I didn't want to hurt them, but they're very viscious."
I mutter causing Jo to fall silent for a few moments before finally speaking up.
"Should I call the police?"
Police?
"No."
"Then would you care to explai-"
"Shoot!"
I yell as I shoot a jerk in the face.
How dare he attack me!
"Raya?!"
"What?"
"Please explain now, Raya."
"Video game."
I answer as I run around the area.
"Oh..."
She mumbles in realization.
"Yeah, it's awesome, but not as good as Zelda...I wish Zelda was a two player game as well, that'd be cool."
"Okay, weirdo."
Weird?
"How am I weird?"
What'd I do?
"We're all weird!"
She laughs causing me to chuckle.
Way to much coffee...
"Speaking of husbands, who do you have a crush on?"
Jo asks and I frown.
Coffee makes Joanna girly...
"Has anyone ever told you that coffee makes you act really girly and childish?"
I ask causing Jo to groan in annoyance.
"I know! Now who do you have a crush on?"
She repeats causing me to roll my eyes.
"Don't worry, Jo. I only think of Nathan as a brother."
I reassure before feeling Justin's arm brush against mine.
"Speaking of Nathan, do you think that he has ever dated Saiylor?"
Jo asks and I frown.
"I don't think so, but you could always ask him."
"No!"
Jo states completely disagreeing with my suggestion.
Well, fine then...
"Don't worry, Jo. Nathan and Saiylor don't and have never had any romantic feelings towards the other."
Justin answers causing Jo to squeal.
"Raya! Am I on speaker?!"
Jo demands and I hesitate.
"Maybe..."
"Raya!"
Justin and I both laugh at Jo's little outburst of embarrassment.
"Who else is there?"
"It's only Justin and I."
A sleeping James does not count...
"Justin? What are you doing with him this late in the evening?"
Jo demands and I frown sending Justin a small glare.
"He basically kidnapped me."
I mutter causing his eyes to narrow.
"No, I did not."
"Yes, you did!"
"No, I didn't!"
"You did to-"
"Guys!"
Jo yells in an effort to interupt us.
What?
"I'll let you guys carry on with your flirting-"
"Joanna!"
I growl as my eyes narrow in annoyance.
"Bye!"
The call suddenly ends as Jo hangs up and I frown.
That was not flirting.
That was more of arguing.
I glance over at Justin to see that he is rather close.
Much closer then before...
My cheeks tint pink from embarrassment as I look up at him with wide eyes.
Very close...
