THERE ARE ONLY THREE TYPES of relationships in the animal kingdom

THERE ARE ONLY THREE TYPES of relationships in the animal kingdom. The first is commensalism. One example... fish finding hiding spots in coral reefs. Fish profit, but life for the coral doesn't change. Then, there's mutualism... a relationship where both animals benefit from each other. The tricky thing about animals is you don't always know what kind of relationship you're in. Which brings the twins to relationship number three. The parasitic.

The Routledge twins couldn't quite believe the fact that they would be living on Figure Eight, never mind the fact they would be living with the Cameron's in their fancy ass house. Brooklyn was more than thankful that Ward Cameron had chosen to be their guardian as was John B. It just felt a little strange to be heading to the other side of the island instead of to their Château on the cut.

The twins sat in the back of Ward Cameron's car with Sarah at the front with her father driving. Their eyes were peeled to the house as they drove into the garage. Brooklyn still couldn't believe it even when she stepped into the house.

"Welcome home, kids." Ward smiled at the two who gazed around the perfectly painted kitchen.

"This kitchen is bigger than the Château." Brooklyn whispered, clutching to her backpack as she followed Sarah into the living room.

Sarah showed Brooklyn to her room which was right next to John B's. "This is your room."

"Holy shit." Brooklyn whispered, chucking her bag down on the ground and falling back on the bed. "Wow, this bed is the comfiest thing in the world." She stretched her body out across the bed, digging her nails into the sheets.

"A little heads up..." Brooklyn sat up on the bed. "If you plan on bringing JJ back here, please don't make too much noise."

"Shut up." Brooklyn laughed.

"My dad has already warned me and John B to stay out of each other's rooms so..." She walked over to Brooklyn. "If you need me then I will be right upstairs, okay?" Brooklyn nodded. "And your brother is next door."

"Hey, Sarah, can I speak with Brooklyn, please?" The two girls looked over at Ward Cameron who stood by the door.

"Of course." Sarah smiled at Brooklyn before walking off. "Be nice to her."

Ward stepped into her room. "Uh, Brooklyn, I have to ask." He let out a small sigh. "I warned your brother about Sarah being in his room and-."

"I will not have a boy here, don't worry." She chuckled, seeing Ward's face almost relieved.

"Also..." He walked over to the girl. "Sarah got a map from my office and said it was for John B. I have to ask... You and your brother aren't chasin' after pots of gold like your old man, are you, Brooklyn?"
