Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Miziki turned the knob into the dorm room, she dashed inside, and threw her scarf and coat onto the floor. She didn't mind the dorm being a little messy, where as Eloise would throw a fit if a measly glove was on the floor. Oh, that's right. We have to share a dorm with her now. She could remember when Lucien and herself lived in different dorm rooms. She could do whatever she wanted, when she wanted and the way she wanted it, no questions asked. But now that Eloise had left the middle school and entered this school, Lucien's brilliant idea was a move into a family dorm. Miziki wasn't thrilled of the idea of living with her younger siblings again, but there was honestly, nothing she could do about it.
She plopped herself onto the couch, annoyed by the change in weather. She desperately hated the cold, it got in the way with her sports. On the corner of the coffee table she spotted a stack of letters. With an annoyed groan she leaned over and snatched the pile. One by one, she read the letters, repeating "Junk, junk, junk, junk..." until she reached the last envelope. It was stamped 'urgent' and had a golden seal, sealing the letter shut. Miziki pealed off the seal and scanned the letter.
Dear Miziki, Lucien and Eloise Anarchy
It pains us all to say that we have found your mother, Miss Justine Anarchy and your aunt, Eva's fiancee, Allen Lorraine, dead on the evening of October 18th, 2012. The death was unidentified, but the bodies were found in a restaurant in Nice, France with burn markings all over. I am sorry for this inconvenience, and I will call soon.
From, Uncle Alois.
Miziki had no idea what to say. The first thing that she noticed was that she died about a month ago, and nobody told them until now. She slammed the note down onto the table with tears flowing down her face. "UNIDENTIFIED DEATH? HOW COULD THIS...WHY COULD THIS..." She could hardly even speak. She hoped it was a sick joke Uncle Alois was pulling.

The knock on the door almost made Miziki want to scream. WHO THE HELL COULD BE KNOCKING ON-...oh wait. You invited that Xeven girl over. This is all your fault, Miziki. She quickly wiped her tears away from her face and gave one final glance at the note before plopping it on top of one of the couch cushions. I can't tell Lucien or Eloise...not yet...they'll just think she's on another business trip, right? I'll hide the letter from them! I'll wait for Uncle Alois to call, and I'll just say I never got the letter! But Miziki wasn't sure exactly when he would call. Knowing Alois, I could be another month from now.

She got up from the couch and walked towards the door. Stay strong, Mizi. Don't burst into hysterics, she'll think your nuts. Miziki slowly opened the door and put on a fake smile. "Ehe, hey Xeven. Come in."

Miziki let out a genuine laugh. "Haha, you should of! What did it look like? I'm pretty sure I know everyone in the school by now." She kept her eyes away from the deceiving note that laid on the couch, but it felt as if it was taunting her slowly. "That's family dorms for you. We just moved into this one a few months ago, now that my sister is joining the school." Miziki explained as she made her way into the kitchen.

Miziki rolled her eyes. "No it isn't. My brother, Lucien, seems like he comes from another planet. He's such a freakin' creep. He just sits alone in his room all the time. And Eloise, she's so annoying with her telepathic powers. And don't get me started with that damn cat of hers..." Miziki groaned as she opened up the fridge. She ignored that fact that Eloise was probably the one Xeven ran into. "You want anything to eat?" she asked. It was hard trying to get the letter off of her mind.

Miziki left the fridge open and walked away. "Help yourself." said Miziki has she sat back down on the couch. All of a sudden Lucien bursted through the door and threw his coat on the rack. "Hey Miziki!" he cheered. Miziki rolled her eyes. "Sup one eye." The teen snickered as Lucien rolled his eyes and headed to the kitchen. "Eh, who's your friend?" he asked, a bit nervous.

Lucien laughed nervously as Xeven started to speak to him. His face went a little red. He wasn't use to talking to girls, except for his sisters."Ehe..yeah.." he mumbled to himself as he poked his head inside the fridge and grabbed himself a piece of cake. "You know, your going to get fat if you keep eating sweets all the time." Miziki warned. "I've been eating sweets all my life, and I'm still lighter than you and Eloise..." he muttered under his breath. Lucien always had an obsession for sweets since he was little. He gave a small smile to Xeven as he started to walk to the couch. "Any mail, today?" he asked as he sat down in a dining room chair and started to eat. Miziki was silent as she hid the note under the couch cushion when Lucien wasn't looking. "Nothing but junk." she lied.

Lucien looked up from his cake to Xeven. "I'm a sophomore, sixteen and a demon. I like drawing and..." His face started to get even more red. "What about you?" he asked, curious about the girl. Miziki, anxious, dashed into her bedroom, grabbed her cellphone, and started to dial Alois' number.

"Hello?"
"Uncle Alois, this is Miziki..."
".......Miziki? Did you-"
"Yes, I got the letter. Is this a joke?"
She heard Alois sigh.
"I wish this was a joke, Miziki. But we can't seem to piece everything together."
Miziki slammed her fist down on her dresser. Alois heard the slam and shuddered. He knew his niece was the violent type.
"Tell me everything you know."
"Eva, Justine, Xia, Allen and myself were in Nice, France two months ago. Three days after our arrival, Justine - your mother, and Allen, Eva's fiancee went missing. Then, on October 18th, on the news, we heard that two bodies were found in the middle of La Rose Rouge, a restaurant in Nice. They were your mother, and Allen."
Miziki was silent for a moment. Then, something occurred to her.
"Isn't that the same restaurant where Dad was found dead?"
All of a sudden, she heard someone calling for Alois in the background. It was Xia, his wife.
"I have to go, Miziki. Goodbye."
