Zavier gave a simple nod before turning and heading up the stairs to his room, Sheryl and Bastian following suit. After a few minutes Sheryl was the first one to come bounding down the stairs. Sebastian wasn't far behind and Zavier naturally was the slowest, walking slowly down the stairs. They didn't have much stuff, a duffel bag each pretty much. "Alright. Let's go." Zavier sighed lightly, opening the door and holding it open for Callisto to go out first, since she had to lead the way.

Callisto led the way to her house. It wasn't too far away, but it took at least thirty minutes or so. She stood in front of it, looking up at the windows to see if her brother was home or not - it would be a great idea to introduce him to Bastian, Zavier, and Sheryl - after all, they would be living with them from now on. The house was a moderate size. Nothing too fancy - they weren't rich enough to own a huge mansion. It was 'alright', being big. It had two stories and was painted beige. She watched as the light in the hallway upstairs flickered on. A figure moved past the window... her brother. Footsteps were heard on the stairs before a boy opened the door and stepped outside slowly. "Charlie!" he called his twin by her informal nickname. "You're back!" Ignace turned a friendly gaze on the three. "Erm. Nice to meet you. I'm Ignace Rousseau... but you can call me Val or Valentine." he stuck out his hand for a shake.

The three followed Callisto to her home in silence, and once they got there found they could do nothing but stare. Even if it wasn't big to most people, they'd never lived in a home this nice before, and so it was simply amazing to them. Even Zavier, who stood as nonchalantly as possible was a bit impressed. Sheryl and Bastian were open with their amazement. The three turned their attention as a boy walked out of the house and introduced himself. Zavier kept his hands in his pockets but said, "I'm Zaiver. That's my twin Sebastian and our sister Sheryl." Bastian shook Ignace's hand, smiling. "Nice to meet you." Sheryl didn't say anything, just gave a small smile and looked away.

Callisto leaned over to whisper in Ignace's ear, "They're going to be staying with us. No biggie." She ignored Ignace's questions and the two soon separated, staring back at the three. Ignace began to walk towards the front door, expecting them all to follow. "Here, erm, follow me. We have an extra bedroom and an unoccupied basement... which is pretty clean. Wherever you guys want to stay is alright. He held the door open for them all before Callisto began to run to the phone to tell mum that they were inviting some people to stay. She doubted that her mother would be angry, as she was a friendly and loving woman who loved children, and was very understanding.

"Sheryl you can take the room." Zavier said immediately, not waiting for an answer. "Me and Bastian will sleep in the basement." Sheryl looked up at Zavier nervously, even though she was excited to be moving into an actual home she'd never been separated from her brothers before and that was a bit scary. "O-okay."

Valentine went to lead the boys to the basement, while Callisto led Sheryl upstairs to the room where she would be saying. It was right next to her brother and hers room; their was even a door connecting the two. It was a simple room; the walls were the clean color of white and a queen bed was right smack-down in the middle of the room, covered with orange sheets and brown pillows. There was circular window to the left of the bed, which took up most of the wall. Photographs of leaves and trees were nailed to right wall. Callisto geustered to it all. "I'm guessing you don't have much of a wardrobe, no worries, you can borrow some of my clothes." She wondered since when was she offering her clothes to the needy and offering her own home? No idea. But Sheryl and her brothers had been through nearly the same thing as Callisto and Valentine, so she knew how hard it was.

"O-oh, thanks." Sheryl bit her lip, looking around the room in awe. She hadn't ever slept in a room this nice, and now it was hers. It was all a bit overwhelming. She glanced out the window, noticing that it was getting pretty late and looked over at Callisto, still biting her lip. "I-I think I might try to sleep now. I'll see you in the morning?" She waited for Callisto to leave before climbing into the bed, not bothering with changing clothes. She was asleep soon after.

The night went by pretty restfully for Sheryl, and when she woke she was very refreshed, feeling better than she had in a long time. That good feeling wouldn't last long though. When she went into the basement where her brother's were staying, it was to find them gone. None of the stuff they'd brought with them was there, and the bed didn't look like it'd been slept in at all. Sheryl felt panic bubbling in her stomach as she raced back up the stairs, looking all over the house with no sign of her brothers. After a while, she stood in the middle of the kitchen, tears filling her eyes.
