CHAPTER 7: Breakfast.
Amber sighed, she would never know why Zetes would always bring out a blade when awoken. Flora was staying still the blade of a small dagger at her throat.
“ Zetes it's safe. For dear god I think you scared this girl half to death.”
Zetes blinked. The dagger disappearing as quick as it appeared. He lay on the bed then he spoke to flora for the first time since his arrival.
“ I am sorry about my stupidity.”
Amber could not help but smile. “ flora i think you should go let your sister in.”
“um.... yeah right.”
the girl left and amber could not help but feel sorry for her.
“ you should really check that”
“ I truly am sorry but it is very hard for me to feel safe.”
amber sighed she was sitting on the bed. She looked at the downcast eyes of Zetes and could not help but let a small sigh escape her lips.
“ what will we do with you?” Zetes looked at her with questioning eyes. “ you don't feel safe even knowing we are here, I don't want to sound over confident but I think we are better then most of the sons.”
“ in truth I think that might be so. but there are things that non of you are prepared to fight. Those robots where the beginning.”
“why do you say that?”
“ I say that because I have fought those robots before. My brother made them for me to train. They let out electric shocks whenever they where touched. This helped me to focus more on destroying them then on trying combos.”
amber did not know what to say. It was very rare that Zetes spoke of his life before joining the organization In truth it seemed that only the one called mother knew why he joined.
“ but then again maybe I am just being paranoid?”
“that may be but you have to trust that Pandora, Freya, and I would do anything we can to protect you.” Zetes smiled in that way that only he seemed to be able to and fell asleep.
“ that was very beautiful.” amber turned around and saw Freya with a kind smile on her face. “ so how long have you liked him?”
“ am I that obvious?”
“ no you are not. Booth Pandora and me feel that way, we can't help it. Doesn't it feel so nice when he lets you in?”
“ it does but why?”
“ I do not know all I know is that we are the only ones that have ever met one of the son's or been in contact this long with them. Makes you wonder how they are like.”
ambers eyes glazed over as if going into some unpleasant memory.
“ they are pigs.”
“ breakfast.” Pandora's voice interrupted the moment leaving Freya to wonder what amber had seen while they walked down.

Breakfast was enjoyable except for the set of eyes he could feel festering on him.
“ okay mom ask it.”
“ what?” marks mother asked innocently.
“ you want to know why our guests daughter.” he motioned to veronica like a gentlemen. she blinked as she stopped eating her pancake. “ was held on the ground by two sais that one of the maids brought out of her apron and then left.”
“ okay then explain.” veronica's mother eyes bulged when she heard what had happened.
“ mom it was Pandora” marks father could not help but laugh as he heard this. His mother just sighed and went back to talking with her old friend.
“ so she is back from Egypt?” marks father whispered to him.
“ yep and she brought the guy she likes.”
“ oh whats his name again?”
“ oh his name is ze-” he was interrupted by the phone ringing his father went to answer it. Mark shook his head and continued eating happy that his mom was satisfied with his answer. Mark could not help but think about the times when he saw flora's sister. she was intriguing to him. she thought him many different school's of fighting and helped him get closer to her sister who he coveted at moments but at other moments felt she was not worth the troubles.
“ she was in Egypt?”
“ yeah she is part of some sort of Eco program they go to different places and protest and stuff. Tough I think its a waist of her talents.”
“ so you don't care about our environment?”
“ its not that its just that to be serious the only reason we need it is to survive longer but if we had focused the last 50 or so years in space exploration or survival in extreme places we would not need to save the planet as much as we need to know.” he said matter of factly
“ oh yeah but what about the world that gave birth to our kind? Would you just let mother earth die?”
“ mother earth would not care about what we do, with the coming ice age evolution will take a step forward. And we might survive.. plus if not this, or our bombs then an asteroid might hit us, and if not that the sun will engulf us, and if not that our whole galaxy will be swallowed up by a bigger galaxy.”
He smiled he knew he had her beat. There was no come back to that.
“ and just because we are doomed we are to stop caring? What about the future of the kids? Do they not deserve to see beauty before they die?”
He could not believe it she had played the shame card.. or at least he believed that was the shame card. Either way he knew she had won this argument so he just laughed lightly acknowledging her victory before digging in to his breakfast.
A left kick came near his head it was a simple thing to avoid it but he chose to let it land grabbing the leg with his left hand as he stepped into Floras guard zone his palm lightly grassing her stomach.
“ never let your guard down. Especially during kicks.”
“ but I hurt you”
The other girls just laughed at her answer.
“ no you did not. Learn this if nothing else when facing an opponent who believes he is going to lose he is willing to allow himself to get hit in order to strike at his opponent. Think about it this way the cheetah lets himself get seen before he chases. Fear is a great equalizer if you fear your opponent is unefected by your moves then that will give him strength over you.”
Zetes let go of her and bowed lightly. As he felt his phone vibrate he picked it up.
“ hello?. Hey, yeah I remember I will be there shortly.”
he bowed to the girls before he left the house.
Flora looked at her sister. “Is he the one that thought you?”
“ nope little sis. he is the one that sharpened my skills. He does not truly know a single style he kinda just does what seems the best move at the moment.”
Flora was confused by this statement. She made it sound like he was some sort of fighting virtuoso.
