Dear journal,
I am never calling anyone bossy again.
It gets me hit. That's right, me. Mom was surprised, but seemed even more surprised when I explained that I hadn't fought back. Was I supposed to? Is that how fights are? I don't know. I didn't want to hurt 'Zuba...and I was frozen. I was honestly frightened. I don't know what happened. I was walking down the sidewalk towards home..and then she showed up, demanding to know what I'd been saying.
So I told her, journal. Don't think I'm stupid or anything, though I probably am... I did try to cover it up, and pretend I hadn't said it. I really hadn't wanted her to get mad at me. But...
All I said was that Adhara had been bossy when I last saw her. She really had been. She kept telling Aludra what to do and I ended up babysitting Adelle. I wasn't lying or anything.. It wasn't like Adhara hadn't been bossy, and hadn't stolen 'Zuba from me.
She hit me. More than once. I don't remember much more of the fight. Mom said she found me unconcious, and I remember waking up on the couch, and seeing 'Zuba's mom. I asked her to tell 'Zuba I was sorry.
My head hurt so bad, journal. Mom said I must have fallen and hit the cement. 'Zuba's mom said something about her missing.. she asked me what happened. I couldn't say much then. Mom said I had a concussion, and that's why my speech was all messed up.
I can say it better, now.
I called Adhara bossy. 'Zuba got mad, madder than I've ever seen her. It frightened me. Josh has been teasing me because I got beat up by a girl.
She's not just any girl, journal. She's my best friend. I love her, even after what she did. Even if my eyes never go back to the color they were--I'll still be her friend.
I hope she's alright.
~Vinny

Journal,
Ben here, on cause of Thali raging out of control. I wish you had eyes to see her, it is quite a sight--though one I would prefer not to see. You see, Vinny was attacked. Yes. Attacked. In Barton, the supposedly peaceful town on this planet we call home. We don't know who did it exactly, though Thali seems to have guessed. Vincent said something about calling someone bossy, and 'Zuba getting mad when he first woke up.
Why calling someone bossy would be cause of a fight, I don't know. He was knocked out when Thali found him, she thought he was dead until she realized he was breathing. She was calm until we took him to the hospital. When he kept asking us to apologize to 'Zuba.
Oh, I pity that girl if she is the one who did it. Though... as long as Thali doesn't see her for a while, I think she'll be safe. Thali doesn't stay made for long, usually. Last time she was, it lasted around five minutes. Long enough for her to practically pull my bookshelf down. She tried. Good thing I had it bolted to the floor. When you're married to an elf, you take precautions.
Anyway, back to Vincent. He still looks pretty bad. Scratches on his face and dark purple bruises around his eyes. He won't let Risa do anything about them--he says he deserves it.
But as Thali says, what could our baby have done to deserve this? Whoever did this to him had a clear advantage, even if he tried fighting back. I don't believe he did. He really isn't the type... I always thought Joshua would be the first to get into a fight. You know... the princely thing. He would fight for a noble cause... But Vinny? Fighting? He's much too sweet.
I think rather that he was frightened, and tried to escape. He wouldn't have fought back, especially if it was 'Zuba. We've known for a long time that he had a soft spot for her, even if he didn't.
Yes journal, our Vinny was in love. His heart has been crushed, perhaps causing more pain than the fight did.
I'm sounding like Thali. That always happens when I write in here.
Before I start sounding any more like a certain elf,
~Ben

Journal,
So I have four new cousins. Well, they aren't really my cousins, them actually being my mother's friend's children, but mom insists we call them that. Their names are Devin, Howl, Milo and Loki. Joshua and I went to the store to buy Devin a present before he was born. A teddy bear; we were actually supposed to buy him two presents, one from each of us... But Josh wanted to get ice cream. Okay, I did too, I admit it. And so did Sammi and Reiya; of course, they wanted every toy in the store.
Of course, I did too. But don't tell anyone! I can't help my greedy nature. While we were at the store, we met a little girl almost as greedy as I am. Well, maybe even more. She wasn't from Seven Of Seven, I think she was from the same place that made Mom so angry--see. Sammi and Reiya might have been normal half-elves if they hadn't been touched by magic. But Mom was having complications, and I don't think she would have been okay if the Azoulais hadn't stepped in.
Anyway, back to why I'm writing in you. My cousins. I haven't had the chance to actually meet any of them; but Josh says Devin's really sweet. Devin apparently looks almost exactly like Uncle Zee, but doesn't act anything like him. I wonder... I'll write more when I see him.
Howl's a mystery to all of us, though the name seems vaguely familar. I think Uncle Zee named him after a book character, or something. As for Loki and Milo, I'm not exactly sure I want to meet them. Aunt Risa is too generous, it makes my greedy side come out. It's really hard being a child of greed and humility. Because even though you really want something, you always feel like you aren't good enough.

Dear Journal,
Vinny here. Mom insists that I haven't been updating you enough. She's also promised not to read it. I wonder why, she never said anything about not reading you before. I think it's because I'm getting old enough that she doesn't have to make sure I'm writing about good things. Or maybe it's because she trusts me--I don't know.
Anyway, to update you. Aludra's been acting really weird towards me lately. It's kinda creeping me out, to be honest with you. I never know what to do. I asked my mom about it, and she just went pale, and told me that Aludra wasn't allowed in the house anymore. I wonder why. He was nice when they met, but Mom did seem to like to tease him. Dad said something about teenagers just expressing themselves, when she told him about it. I heard them arguing. Mom called him something I can't repeat.
And well, you know Dad. After he's been insulted once or twice, he tends to agree with Mom. Then, later, when mom was at the store, he had a 'talk' with me.
He told me that Aludra likes me. More than a friend, I mean... like how I like 'Zuba. He said this was why Mom was so upset. He said Mom is very conservative, which makes since, seeing as she's an elf. He also said that I shouldn't let Aludra touch me. He says it's unacceptable behavior and that if Aludra wants to be my friend, he'll understand that when I tell him.
But you know journal? I don't think I will tell him. I don't want to be mean, and he gets hurt a lot. What if he got hurt after I told him that he's not allowed to touch me? I'd feel bad. It'd be like it was my fault. I really wouldn't like that.
Oh! On a happier note, well, more of an awkward one, really... Josh convinced me to call Ebony and ask her out. You know, that pretty girl who babysat us once. She's really nice. And pretty. And... Well. I think I might like her like I liked 'Zuba. Josh says it's normal to like girls, but not when they beat you up. So maybe I should stop liking 'Zuba as much as I do?
...I don't know journal. I really do love 'Zuba. She's my best friend. I don't know if I could like anyone as much as I do her.

Dear Journal,
It's been a while since I've actually written in you. I think Ben's done the last few entries. Speaking of Ben, he's currently out with the girls. He decided it was time for a Father-Daughter day. Though neither Samantha or Reiya seemed too pleased about it. They went to the park for a picnic. They're lucky I packed the lunch, though... Ben can't cook. Well. Unless you count pasta. He makes a pretty good pasta.
So Vincent's been acting uncomfortable for the past few days. Who could blame him? He's growing up so quickly. His voice started changing this week, and he panicked. It made him even more self-concious than ever, if that's possible. Joshua's been trying to cheer him up.
Well, that's what Ben and I thought Josh was doing, until we found out he pressured Vinny into going on a date with a former babysitter. Apparently Josh told him that everyone his age had gone on a date already--which is ironic, since Joshua hasn't gone on one himself. I think Josh is secretly trying to cheer his brother up after 'Zuba, but I could be wrong.
He's still pretty bent up about that, unfortunately. I wish he'd get over it. They're related! It never would have worked out! Though, I do wish 'Zuba had kept her hands to herself. I'm still irked. I know she ran away afterward, and was upset about it for a long time, but that still doesn't make it right. I don't think I'll ever really forgive her.
And even if I do forgive her for hurting Vincent, I don't know if I could forgive her for well... We have a theory that Vinny was in love with her, and that was why he was so jealous when he learned about Adhara. Or it might have been the possessive trait he seems to have with all his friends. I think it was love. Oh well. He and Ebony make a cute couple as well.
I hope it lasts. She'll be a good healer for Vinny's heart.
--Thali
