Family of the Sunflower

Ever since Alektrona watched a movie about faeries, she always believed in supernaturals. When people told her there are no such things as supernatural, she always replied, "If there are no such things as supernaturals, where did the myths and legends come from? Imagination? Hallucination? I don't know! But I would love to know and meet one," She says it with a bright smile but, once she meets their confused gaze, she looks back at them with the same confusion as them. "I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who believes in spirits and faeries... right...? " And look at them expectation in her eyes. Her answer makes others fall speechless apart from her grandmother, who loves Greek mythology. Although Alek believes in the existence of supernaturals, she's never encountered one. God knows how many books she's read about Supernaturals. Alek talked to everything she sees and asks them, "When will you guys finally show up to me and start a conversation? I wouldn't tell anybody! I just want to meet you guys so that I couldn't die happily. So I'll be here, waiting for you guys to show up and talk to me." *********** Alek sneakily entered the room and was greeted by a boy facing toward the window opposite the door that she just entered. She thought he was Kai. She prepared to scare him. But before she tried to do anything, he snapped his neck to where she was standing. She was caught off guard. But what she saw next was enough for her brain to stop functioning. "What the..." Alek could not continue. The boy looked like her dead brother, Aether. *********** "They are not friendly, especially the Shiwasu." Astraea told her niece. "If you can't prove that you are able to replace her, then we are all doomed." Everyone was listening to her with serious faces, even the youngest looked like she knew that would be the end. "I will prove it." Alek spoke with determination in her eyes. ------------------ This is the story about shape-shifters and some parts are written in Japanese in roman alphabet as this book contains a little bit of Japanese culture and tradition. Actually this is my first time writing a novel and I really do hope you will enjoy it. I DO NOT OWN THE COVER Credit to the owner!!

Muscle chef🍴👨‍🍳💪: I thought of the same thing

The world's shortest bookworm📚🐛🌻: Why would you think that?

Sassy Rapunzel🕺💅💆‍♀️: No, we are not, in fact

Muscle chef🍴👨‍🍳💪: fine. let me answer it

Muscle chef🍴👨‍🍳💪: no. everything is very normal. everything and everyone except you, Alek

The world's shortest bookworm📚🐛🌻: I was always abnormal.

The world's shortest bookworm📚🐛🌻: That wasn't the point but okay.

The world's shortest bookworm📚🐛🌻: How about you, Mel? Anything weird?

Sassy Rapunzel🕺💅💆‍♀️: I'm going to say the same thing with Alec.

Sassy Rapunzel🕺💅💆‍♀️: Did you expect something to happen?

Sassy Rapunzel🕺💅💆‍♀️: If this is about the tattoo, we are sorry

Muscle chef🍴👨‍🍳💪: we didn't mean to see it

The world's shortest bookworm📚🐛🌻: This is NOT about the TATTOO!

Sassy Rapunzel🕺💅💆‍♀️: Then what is it about?

Alek🌻🦁: Doing good. How about you?

Castor🤡🐍: me too. we just finished our work.

Alek🌻🦁: What were you two doing?

Castor🤡🐍: patrol around the perimeter of the territory.

Alek🌻🦁: Do you guys do that every night?

Castor🤡🐍: yes, but at different times of the day.

Castor🤡🐍: like today, I and Rin are supposed to patrol from 6pm-midnight.

Castor🤡🐍: one round trip takes about an hour.

Castor🤡🐍: we do this every two hours

Alek🌻🦁: That must be tiring

Castor🤡🐍: it is.

Castor🤡🐍: that's why we go in pairs.

Alek🌻🦁: Where's Rin, though?

Alek🌻🦁: I thought he was online...

Castor🤡🐍: dunno.

Castor🤡🐍: I'm in my room.

Castor🤡🐍: lemme check.

Castor🤡🐍: he was with pops.

Castor🤡🐍: probably being lectured.

Castor🤡🐍: gonna be long.

Alek🌻🦁: Got it.

Castor🤡🐍: so, what did you want to ask us?

Castor🤡🐍: is it related to the tattoo thingy you asked about earlier?

Alek🌻🦁: Kinder.

Alek🌻🦁: When will you guys return here?

Alek🌻🦁: To our house, I mean.

Castor🤡🐍: maybe tomorrow.

Castor🤡🐍: not sure.

Castor🤡🐍: is it a matter that you don't wanna discuss in the text?

Alek🌻🦁: Exactly.

Alek🌻🦁: Surprisingly, you are understanding.

Castor🤡🐍: "Surprisingly" *laughs*

Alek🌻🦁: Did I offend you?

Castor🤡🐍: nah.

Castor🤡🐍: just found it funny.

Castor🤡🐍: maybe we can't come back.

Castor🤡🐍: as in sleep there for a night.

Castor🤡🐍: but we can come when we don't have duties.

Alek🌻🦁: When would that be?

Castor🤡🐍: depends.

Castor🤡🐍: when we finish our shift today, we're gonna be free, but I think you'd be sleeping, so definitely not tonight.

Alek🌻🦁: No, I can stay awake until then.

Castor🤡🐍: I know you can, but the problem lies in our parents.

Alek🌻🦁: ??

Castor🤡🐍: they are supernaturals, Alek.

Alek🌻🦁:?

Castor🤡🐍: they have super hearing.

Castor🤡🐍: especially Kai.

Castor🤡🐍: everyone's gonna wake up if you sneak out of the house when everything's loud at night.

Castor🤡🐍: plus, you don't know how to make no noise when moving since we were kids.

Castor🤡🐍: you know if they do wake up, they're gonna question us.

Alek🌻🦁: Then maybe I can go there.

Castor🤡🐍: you mean to the watch tower?

Alek🌻🦁: Yes.

Castor🤡🐍: ...

Castor🤡🐍: do you even know where it is located?

Alek🌻🦁: ...

Castor🤡🐍: not to tell mention there are hundreds of watch towers...

Alek🌻🦁: ...

Alek🌻🦁: Shoot...

Alek🌻🦁: You guide me then.

Castor🤡🐍: I'm not good.

Castor🤡🐍: ask Rin.

Alek🌻🦁: He ain't here.

Castor🤡🐍: ...

Alek🌻🦁: ...

Castor🤡🐍: ....

Alek🌻🦁: .....

Castor🤡🐍: ...
