He takes a seat on my bed.
"Frayhani, it was never meant for you to find out this way. Since the day I was put in charge of you all, I've always felt the need to make sure you all were protected." He starts.
"You guys' safety was always my main priority. No matter what. So I felt as if keeping you and Sophia Alice in the dark about us was best. But clearly it wasn't."
"It makes you guys an easy target, unprotected, and vulnerable." He says.
"And I'm sorry for that." He says looking into my eyes.
"How could you not tell us our family is involved in the mafia? How did this even happen?
"It all goes to our birth parents, Frankie. Each and every one of ours. Even Caleb and Brianne." He says.
Mom and dad?
"Who were those guys? I ask my voice barley above a whisper.
"The Spanish mafia. Allies of the mafia who wants to see us fail the most."
"What do they want with me?
"They want revenge, Frankie. They want to see each and everyone of our parents dead. " He says.
"Which also leads to other things. Francesca and Armani didn't abandon you. It wasn't their choice. Everyone in this house wasn't adopted at random like you think they were. It was all for you guys protection."
"What about yours? I ask him.
"Same as you guys. Except that Dylan, Tomas and I are now old enough to take on bigger responsibilities.
"Responsibilities? Like what."
"That's for another day." He simply responds.
"Are mom and dad really lawyers? I ask.
"No. They're with us." He says.
"I know you hate it when they're not around, but they are actually putting up a hell of a fight for your safety. All of ours.' He tells me.

I stayed quiet debating on asking my last question.
In all things honesty, I was scared to.
"Do you kill? What about innocent people?
He takes a long pause.
"I never harm innocent people." He simply says before getting up and closing the door behind him.
I sigh and check the time.
It was almost 11:30 pm.
Xander and I had been talking for a while.
I got out of bed and changed into my pajamas.
I grabbed my pillow and made my way into Sophia Alice's room.
She turned her head.
"I can't sleep alone tonight. I just can't." I shake my head.
She nods her head and pulls me into a hug.
"I can't either." She whispers.

For those well-versed in the genre, the story should seem familiar. However for those who are new, the culture and technical terms may be bit alien at first. I will possibly post a glossary explaining some of the details if necessary, but hopefully you will be able to explore and understand the world with me as I write about it.

The Humanity Initiative (discontinued)
Virtual gaming has been around for ages. Many live their entire lives online, not caring about what’s left of the real world. The few who do, fear nuclear annihilation. The risk of an unfortunate chain reaction is too large to ignore, but as of now, prevention is impossible. Humanity, in its biological form, would never survive as it is.

Recent VR technology has a potential candidate for that something.Farah Al Farzha never plays online, she loathes the very idea of it. She is in love with reality, and competitive fencing is her way to prove it. But when she reluctantly went online, she couldn’t exit, or at least a copy of her consciousness couldn’t.Human, but juridically speaking no more, Farah struggles in a game that would’ve been illegal. To her only consolation, the game is modeled after reality, a place foreign to the gaming brats around her. But what demands do the UN put on potential ‘human’ survivor candidates, and how will natural selection be replaced, when reality is no more? _______________________________________________________________________

Shard
Wherever you go, whether it be be a bustling metropolis or wild and untamed lands, sentients of every race and creed have some sort of belief in the supernatural. Every culture has stories of mighty beings, incomprehensible in both nature and noticeably, malice. Though many once wished for these stories to be true, they eventually lost much of the significance they once held; yet, the people who told the tales in the first place left them there as lessons. Vital lessons, and more importantly, warnings. Because even though humanity and it's allies had taken to the heavens and prospered like never before, their actions had caused sleeping dragons to stir. Across the universe, a bitter war between mortal and spiritual forces is being waged. Humanity now faces extinction, and if we don't play our cards right, extinction is all but certain. But even though their adversaries have veritable gods among them, humanity still has a few tricks up it's sleeve...
