I am the youngest child of the Feathers family, Lucian Feathers. I have an older brother, Aaron Feathers, and an older sister, Allison Feathers. My parents are the current heads of the Feathers Family, my father is Jake Feathers and my mother is Esme Feathers. Even as the youngest, I was not allowed to slack off, not one bit. My parents were very careful, and they realized they might lose their older children, so they made sure to raise me as they had with my older siblings. My family was kind to me, they expected a lot out me, of course, but they were kind about it, and I was grateful. I had a bit of trouble learning as a child. When I started to go to school, I had so much trouble learning, my parents had my siblings tutor me for three years before I managed to learn on my own, and even then, they still had to help me. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzLXQCkyHL

"Lucian," Allison would smile kindly as she taught me English. "The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection." Lucian copied what his elder sister told him word for word. She hugged him as he continued to do his work, impressed by his penmanship. "Your handwriting has gotten better, Luci."788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08mz63KL4d

"Because brother forced me to practice it until he liked it," I muttered, sighing as I remembered the torture. Allison chuckled softly.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTE795E6P8

"He loves his penmanship and calligraphy, after all. Do you want to practice your violin today? Or leave it for tomorrow?" My sister took my pen away from be and set it aside as she pulled my attention away from English and towards music. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fHhbTzCE

"I want to read for the rest of today," I had responded truthfully. My elder sister nodded her head.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWQGIVls2V

"Alright, then tomorrow it is. I'll call you down for dinner. Aaron might drop by to check on you after he's done writing his calligraphy, so be sure to have a small chat with him," Allison stood up properly, since she bent forward to hug me and help me. She gently patted my head, her gaze filled with love before she left my room. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yZLM7dOk6

I was reading The Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Love when my brother came into my room. He walked up to me and set his hand onto my shoulder as he looked at the book. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF80AKrCOC

"This book, I remember it. It's Ali's favorite, isn't it?" Aaron commented, his voice barely a murmur. I nodded my head and flipped to the next page. "Ah, that's the last chapter, it's pretty emotional." 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRMhbRz1SO

"You're right. The last chapter is the most meaningful one and a very painful one. Do you want to read my favorite book after you're done with this one? It's a bit harder, but it'll help you with your English and French studies. It's translated into French, so you can learn French while reading it." 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iamr6GE7y

"What's it called?" I flipped the page. 'The messiah, filled with grief and feeling betrayed, walked up the stairs to reach the top of the tower. As she arrived to the alter, she had finally saw something. Nine skeletons. All of her friends.' 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2wWSDW5a

"The Butterfly and Flower and Spider," Aaron replied, and stopped talking after he saw what part of the book I was on. My heart cracked as I continued to read the story.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zjP725dkZ

"Why is this story sister's favorite?" I asked, wondering why such an angst story was Allison's favorite. My brother just looked at the wall. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jFfcEOnDt

My brother's eyes gleamed with sadness, "That's not something I should tell you. When you're an adult, then your sister will tell you herself." I was confused on why he didn't tell me that day, but I had found out a few years later, and I cannot forget the reason why my sister loved the book more than anything in the world. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRg0xB526A

My brother and I talked. It was meaningless, but it was a time I didn't want to end. I was able to see many emotions in his eyes. He told me many things, may it been about History, or Literature, or plain nonsense, it was a beautiful moment. He cradled me in his arms, like he did when I was four, though it was a bit awkward because I was much bigger than before. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tgjBQR2FK

Allison came into my room to tell my brother and me that dinner was ready. Our parents were present, which was rare, as they were busy with work most of the time. It was a wonderful time, that night, dinner was filled with smiles and laughter, something very rare, almost sacred even. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPLU3Nf2Ik

"You'll be meeting your personal butler tomorrow evening, after you're done with your lessons from your siblings. I felt like it was time to give you a companion, and Wes is retiring soon, so I thought I'd give him some more free time before he left," Father said. The old butler next to him chuckled, and thanked him. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZFAgb6FOU

That night, I had a dream of my sister crying at a cemetery, her usual sweet smile gone as she stared at the graves in front of her. She was dressed in all black, and looked like a weeping angel. I also saw my brother standing, looking down at my sister with a face filled with grief. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX2UzSOg4Q

I woke up with tears stained on my face. I rushed to my sister's room and crawled into chest as I continued to weep that morning. She was surprised, but let me cry until I had once again fallen asleep. She petted my head and murmured words filled with warmth and love. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bPTC7I5sl

"Lucian, don't forget, no matter what, I will love you. Everyone in this mansion adores you. Never forget that. You can dream of us betraying you, you can think that our actions are filled with hatred, you can believe we would leave you alone, but that is not true. The one truth is that we love you. We love you. I love you." 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzuKodmLkF
