Hiding in Plain Sight (Slowly Updating)

Baby Bear sized Hugs

     After we are all in the house I yell out to Erik, "Papa bear, did you remember to call the electric company or are we having a slumber party by candlelight? Also did you finish putting my frame together for my bed.  I'm sure Jess will help me decorate while you boys do whatever you boys do until its time for me to cook." 

     Erik yells back, "Yeah, power should already be on. I will explain later what happened and of course I remembered to put your bed frame together. Do you honestly think I want to share a room with you again, we shared a womb that was enough sibling bonding for a lifetime."  I know he's only joking so I don't get upset.

      I grab Jess's hand and start pulling her up the stairs to my room.  I hear the boys laughing and shouting to shoot and to switch weapons and various other odd things so I assume the power is definitely on and Erik is showing off our hidden game room.  The parentals didn't mention this room when they told us to unpack so Erik claimed it.

     Jess and I finally make it to my room.  I look both ways and quickly shoved her in the room slamming the door behind me.  I quickly locked it and looked evilly at Jess rubbing my hands together.  "Feel like having fun!"  I motion with my hand and watch her eyes widen as the box I'm indicating starts to open and the books start to place themselves on the shelves of my bookcase.  Jess squeals in delight watching my boxes unpack themselves. "Ok now that the work's  done what color do you think I should paint my walls, this color is doing nothing for me. Anything you think may make my room better just let me know."  I hear the door knob jiggle as someone is trying to get in.  "Trouble, why are you locking yourself in your room?  I am now going to playfully threaten to tell Kota that you are holding his precious sister hostage unless you open the door."  I can almost see the smile on his face.

      I unlock the door with a flick of my hand from across the room.  Jess was right beside me as we just stare at the wall in front of us.  Gabriel opens the door and catches his breathe.  "How did you unlock the door?  Did you use an ability for speed or something?"

     "Or something, now help us try to figure out what color to paint my bedroom walls.  I just hate this plain white, maybe it will look better with pink stripes."  I walk to the wall touch it then step back to look at the walls.  Every wall has alternating bright pink and soft pink stripes.  Hmmm.

     "Let me guess this is an or something too?" Gabriel chuckles beside me.  I giggled as well.  "What cha think should it be different, I can do wallpaper instead, if you think that would look better."

     Gabriel turns his head to the side looks around the room and instantly says, "That wall a cream shade, the rest of the walls the lighter shade of pink from the stripes.  You need a different carpet this is hideous.  Something plush and in a cream color as well, your comforter set sucks, no offense.  You need accessories stat basically."

     "Please, don't hold back.  You said this wall cream the rest pale pink, okay easily fixed.  Carpet plush and cream, tell me what accessories I need Meanie.  How can I change it if you don't tell me what I need?" When I turn back to him his eyes were wide and his mouth was formed into a cute o shape. Oops I forgot I already used that ability and I know its not one I got from them. "I know I can trust you now Meanie, my abilities don't need to be recharged. Once I have it, I always have it.  Please don't tell the rest of them I'm scared of what they will do to me.  I swear I'm not dangerous.  I usually don't leave the house except to go to school.  The Chinese restaurant was my first time at an actual place to eat other than bring in my room. I just fealt freedom for the first time and wanted out of the house.  Please as a bribe of sorts for your silence I can do something to help you if you trust me that is."

     "What can you do to me trouble or am I scared to know?"  Gabriel looked relaxed now.  Not at all what I had suspected.

     "Well, I noticed you can change other people's appearance but not your own.  This is the scary ability that Mr Blackbourne must never   know about, I can modify your ability.  I can fix it where you can change yourself too, almost as if your ability evolved.  You will still be able to modify others.  So will you let me because I try not to use any ability on another person without their permission.  If we really wanna be playful I can give you another different ability temporarily.  Which is basically how we can mind speak, I keep refreshing that ability in who I wish to speak with.  I haven't told the others but you basically can speak with who ever you want in their mind now too same as me.  But if I don't refresh it you will lose it. You aren't reacting here Meanie please react." I know I'm putting myself out there but in my heart I know I can trust him.

     I stand there pleading with my eyes, when Gabriel yet once again surprises me.  He protectively wraps his arms around me placing his head beside mine as he whispers in my ear, "Don't forget I promised to protect you from anything or anyone that can hurt you, my brothers included.  I promise you I will die trying to keep you safe if I have to.  And you can do whatever you want to me. Whenever you want to."  Even when Erik would hug me I have never fealt this safe before.  I close my eyes and just let him hold me as I take every ounce of warmth he is sharing.  I could so develop feelings for him, if I let my guards down enough. As he's holding me I manipulate his ability tweaking it to how I wanted, he now can modify himself as well.

     "Sang get your skinny little ass down here now, I'm getting hungry." Erik's voice boomed through the house.  I feel Gabriel shaking in my arms, but when I look up at him he's laughing. 

     "Well I guess that ends this love fest we are having right now. I get to sleep with you two in here tonight, ok?"   Oh no, and so it starts.  I don't confirm or deny his request.  I grab Jess's hand and swing it casually as we walk down the stairs toward the kitchen.  I wonder who tries next for my floor.

This is unedited.  I intended to do the whole night's actions but Sang managed to side track me again. I will try to finish the scene tonight and post some time tomorrow.  Please let me know of any mistakes you may find so I can fix them. Also who's Pov would everyone like to hear from next.   Love y'all. <3 B
