  Brown...

  "She's the person who I told you about!" I heard Kiran say.

  "I see..." The taller version of Kiran turned around to face me entirely

  'He looks quite muscular...' I thought to myself as I scanned his figure.

  "Thank you miss for helping this brother of mine. I hope he hasn't troubled you too much and please forgive his language." The taller version of Kiran did a slight bow to show his appreciatetion.

  'Quite staring like an idiot! Reply him 'It was no problem!''

  "It was no problem!" I said smiling even though there was no way he could see it since my face was completely covered.

  "If you forgive me I think me and kir have to go home now." The taller version of Kiran left as it was his turn to check out all his items.

  'I guess he likes apples...' His basket had quite a few extra apples then what most normal people would buy...

  'Athanasia! Move it! Your getting late!' my second voice screamed at me as I checked out.

  'Shit!' I cursed in my head as I ran into a dead sprint back home.

  'Today is just not my day...' It started raining...

  Not like a little drizzle...

  But like someone just poured a bucket of water over you continuously.

  'So... Tired....' I basically dragged myself back home as I stood outside for awhile dripping wet and panting like mad.

  'Go in through the back, Don't get the front dirty.' My second voice told me as I made my way to the back of the house with my clothes sticking on me.

  I opened the back door with the key as I tried to sneak my way back up without getting noticed.

  "Athanasia! Look what you've done!" I heard the voice that I least wanted to hear scream.

  'Turn around, don't argue, bow down and apologize.' My second voice said which I wanted to rebut but...

  I've learnt better...

  "I'm so sorry Father!" I turned around and bowed down to him.

  I saw how his expression twitched as if getting even more pissed.

  "Sorry!?! Sorry!?! You create this mess and all you can do is say sorry!?!" Father yelled.

  'I sincerely apologize father... Please let me go up and change before I get the floor more wet, I promise you after that I'll clean up the mess.'

  "I sincerely apologize father... Please let me go up and change before I get the floor more wet, I promise you after that I'll clean up the mess." I said wanted to leave.

  "You don't sound sorry at all." Father said.

  'Just keep your head down and don't argue.'

  "Sissy! Your back!" I heard a voice say.

  "Sissy... Your all wet! Come on! Let's get you changed!" Amaranth took my wrist and dragged me upstairs not giving father any time to object.

  "Thank you Mara..." I said softly.

  'Ill be saved from his wrath as long as Mara is with me since he doesn't flare infront of Mara.'
