"No I don't. We stay in some abandoned house. It's only a matter of time before the police come and finds out about us." Sheryl was pretty sure she shouldn't have been telling this girl any of this, but for some reason she was. "But you can't tell anyone! They'll only send us back to the foster home. Nobody would believe us if we told them they were abusive."

"Don't worry, I won't." Callisto murmured, "I know how it feels to be abused." her eyes closed and she remembered for a moment. Her brother had tried to protect her, which only made her parents angrier. She watched in horror as they beat her brother cruelly. "Why don't you come stay with us?" she asked, biting her lower lip. "I mean, I know we just met and all, but I don't really think my parents would care at all. And it's just me and my brother, so there's nobody else who's going to try to hurt you or anything." she offered. "Yeah, I know my offer sounds insane and all, but if they catch you..."

Sheryl found she was actually starting to like the girl...well, almost. "We couldn't. I wouldn't care but my older brother...he isn't exactly the most trusting." Zavier was only 16, but he was the leader of the small group and anything he said, went.

Callisto rolled her eyes. "Let me talk to him. I doubt that he would rather stay in an abandoned house than live in a place where you guys are actually welcome..." her voice trailed off before she looked back to Sheryl, "You have another brother, right?" she asked, remembering Sheryl mentioning having more than one brother. "Maybe he'll agree, if he's more sensible."

Sheryl shook her head. "You can't talk to him, he won't listen. Zavier would rather do things on his own instead of taking help from others, he's always been stubborn like that." At Callisto's next question she shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, he's Zavier's twin." Sheryl laughed, shaking her head again. "Yeah, Sebastian would agree, but only if Zavier does. Bastian's a pushover who can't form his own opinion and do things on his own."

"Your brothers suck." she said, with a light smirk. "But still, I would like to talk to them. I don't understand why anybody in your situation would turn down an offer like this. Well, at least if the other option is living in a place they aren't welcome." Callisto thought for a moment about what she would do herself. "Say, your brothers aren't old enough to get a job? They take care of you, though, right?" she was almost sure that they were. However, how could they feed her or clothe her without any job? How would they get the money to take care of her? Callisto sighed.

Sheryl shrugged and ran a hand through her messy hair. "You can try to talk to him if you want, but I'm telling you he won't listen." At her next question, Sheryl shook her head. "They're only 16. Not old enough to get a job without parent consent, which we don't have. Right now we're living off the money we took from our foster parents when we ran away. Not sure what we'll do once that runs out."

"Eh. I want to talk to them, anyawy. I don't care if neither of them listen, I'll make them." She wasn't kidding, really. It would be better to live Callisto an her twin brother than to live all by thenselves in an abandoned house. What if the police got them? What would they do? "See? That's what I'm talking about. What are you going to do?" Callisto asked, with a sigh.

Sheryl stood then, sticking her hands in her back pockets. "Come on then. If you think you're so great at persuading people then by all means. It's not like my life could get any worse than it already is." Sheryl really had no idea why this girl thought she would have the ability to change her brother's mind, she happened to know Zavier was the most stubborn person ever. "I don't know. What we always do; survive."

Callisto shrugged and stood up herself. "Fine, let's go." she sighed. "That may be so. But can you really survive with no money for food and water? Unless your brothers are older by then..." Callisto sighed, staring up at the grey sky, which was once blue. "But, I could be wrong..." her voice trailed off. She didn't say anything for moments. "It looks like it's going to rain..." she murmured to herself.

Sheryl began leading the way back to her house, glancing at Callisto every few seconds. She shrugged in answer to her question. Truthfully Sheryl didn't know what they'd do once they ran out of money. They were careful to ration it and make it last, but it wouldn't last forever and she was sure it wouldn't last until Zavier and Bastian were old enough to work. "Zavier will probably steal food for us if that happens."

Callisto shrugged. "What good will that do? If you're caught, you're dead." she licked her lips. "And that will only cause more trouble for you all, wouldn't it?" Callisto wondered what she would do herself. "It'll only make everything worse." she continued following Sheryl. Hopefully Val won't worry... she hadn't told him where she had gone. He probably knew where he had gone, but the issue was that would follow her...

Sheryl shrugged, turning onto her street. She was right, stealing would definitely be too dangerous for them, but what other choice did they have? If they ran out of money, then they would have to turn to stealing. They couldn't risk going back to that foster home. she led Callisto to her front door, pushing it open. Bastian came bounding down the stairs soon after, a frown on his face. "Oh, Sheryl, it's just you." He breathed when he saw his sister. Sheryl nodded. "Where's Zavier?" "He's out buying food, we're running low." He turned to Callisto then. "Who's this?" "Some girl I met at the park. Her name's Callisto."

Callisto closed her eyes for moments, before opening them and looking around at Sheryl's abandoned home. "Nice place," she said, with a smirk. In spite of them about to discuss Sheryl and her brothers living with Callisto's family, Callisto certainly did not lose her dry sense of humor. When the door was opened, her eyes suddenly turned towards Sheryl's brother. So, it was Sebastian. "Some girl I met at the park. Her name's Callisto." Sheryl introduced her already. She sighed, not bothering to say 'nice to meet you' or offer her hand in a shake. She wanted to skip to the point, really, but Sebastian had said that Zavier was out buying food...and Sheryl had already told her that Sebastian only followed Zavier. Damn. Callisto bit her lower lip. Now, she had to wait for Zavier to come? How boring. She licked her lips. "Hm... So, that means, you're Sebastian, then?" she asked, looking him over. "Hmm... Can I call you Sebby?"

Sheryl snorted and Sebastian turned a bright red at Callisto's question, turning away to walk back up the stairs. "You...you can call me Bastian." He said before disappearing. Sheryl began laughing then, heading into the living room and motioning for Callisto to follow her. "Not only is Bastian a push-over, but he's super shy too. He'll be locked in his room all day now." She laughed, sitting on the old, musty couch that was planted right in the middle of the room. "Zaview shouldn't be gone too long. You can sit down if you'd like." Sheryl nodded towards one of the various boxes lying around the room.
