New family

I was walking out of an alleyway and going home hopefully I could not get in any problems with my uncle because I just had a fight and the people I fought were at the alleyway half dead from what I did but the thing is that they all ganged up on me but even then, they lost due to my awareness and high sensory skills so they couldn't really win. When I got to my uncle's house I saw there was a police car outside. A cop was heading near me then he said "are you Orion Dyers?"

"Yes I'm Orion Dyers, is everything okay?" I replied a little suspicious.

"well your uncle is being sent to jail for drug dealing, and murder so I'm hear to pick you up and take you to your new foster family" the man replied and then I only nodded and we went over to the police car. ‘This ought to be good’ I thought to myself because I wanted to see what my so-called new family is like.

When we got in the car and he started driving I didn’t expect anything much like small talk so I just looked out the window and was going to wait and see what game I was going to be thrown in and had to play.

The world isn’t nice like people expect, it's a game that's controlled by people who have power and aren’t scared to use it. You have to play smart and use all you can so you can win and then crush the people with the power and once you do that you think you're free. If only, then there is the next game and next till you get away from their eyes which is nearly impossible.

“Hey kid, do you want any snacks? It will be a long drive?” He asked me to which I denied the offer and kept looking outside. I was a bit confused now because I thought my new family was close by, so that meant they wouldn’t have ever dealt with anyone from this side of the city.

This was trouble because no one would have a reason to take in a troubled kid without a reason but I didn’t care what they thought I just had to wait and see. After an hour of the drive a problem came up one black car blocked our way and then two guys came out, and they were holding weapons so this meant real trouble.

“Wait here” said the policeman while he went out to deal with them but I didn’t listen and got out as well. Then those two started to run toward us with their weapons but I dealt with one while he dealt with the other.

He was sharp in his skills but so was I, I just dodged left and right not even scared of him, only bored. I peaked to see if the other guy was having trouble which he was, ‘better help him out’

I started by aiming at his legs which then caused him to slow down to which I gave him a square punch to his chin and that knocked him out, making him not able to get up. I then ran up and gave the guy a high kick to his chin which knocked him out easily.

“Let’s go” I told him to which he nodded but called in what happened so people could clean it up and arrest them.

After an hour's drive we arrived at the house where I left the car and he drove off, ‘aren’t you supposed to come with, you asshole?’

I just walked up and rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer which they didn’t, ‘this is going great’, I thought.

I rang the doorbell again and this time someone answered it was a male around the age of forty, he had black hair and silver eyes but seemed to have a strong build, to which I could see even though he wore a suit, “oh you must be Orion, right?”

“Yes sir I’m Orion dyers” I said in a serious tone, “come on there's no reason to be stiff and serious, be yourself and call me dad we are family.”

He then let me in and we walked inside but I saw a lady that seemed to be in her late thirties and had purple hair and red eyes but had a loving smile on her face, “Oh you must be Orion nice to finally meet you.”

She ran up and hugged me but I dodged it and she was a little surprised at what I did, “I don’t do hugs sorry.”

She pouted a little but understood me from where I came from so she just offered a handshake which I took, “may I know your names?”

“Daniel Weber but call me dad” said Mr Weber and then, “Lucy Weber but call me mom.”

“Alright then but is it possible I learn to call you that slowly? It might be hard for me at first so I might call you mr and miss Weber by nature.” I told them, which they understood but seemed a little sad, “just give me some time for all I ask.”

“Alright. Also let me show you your room and also you have to meet your siblings later, they are currently at school so they will be back in a couple of hours okay.” He said that I nodded to him but that might be a problem because I never had a good relationship with anyone in my age group.

He showed me my room which was a good size, it had a computer and a desk with a decent size bed for me, “I know this might be a little small but we are going to be making this room a bit bigger for you.”

“It’s alright beside it's the first time I ever had a room and this might be perfect for me.” I told him that he looked at me with a sceptical look, “what do you mean?”

“I always slept on the floor or had to go to the library to use a computer so this might be perfect for me.” I told him which he now understood but was a bit sad about it but I didn’t care if he pitted me or just felt bad for me, “let me show you your new clothes.”

He then went to the closet and opened it and showed a mountain of clothes, more than enough for me, maybe a little but I just nodded but I also picked up some clothes to change from my old rags, “I’ll change my clothes and come downstairs.”

He nodded and left me but I didn’t know what to choose so I just looked at what I had and picked up some normal stuff like a normal white t-shirt and black pants with white socks, ‘I need to take a shower first.’

I looked around in my room and saw a shower so I went in and got in the bath and slowly washed myself but one thing that I couldn’t look away from is my scars from the streets, as they say, ‘you can’t run from that place’.’

I finished bathing and got out with my new clothes after ten minutes and I went downstairs, “sorry I took a long time, I took a shower.”

“Don’t worry about it, beside you look amazing in the clothes I picked out” said Miss Weber to which I nodded and sat down on the table and Miss Weber put food on the table which I ate because I was hungry. I finished the food after fifteen minutes but I wanted to know something, “can I ask why you adopted me even though you have two kids?”

Mr Weber then got a little flustered and didn’t say anything but Miss Weber said, “because my dear husband always wanted a son and he never had one, that's why.”

“Lucy?! I thought we weren’t going to tell him that” he shouted in embarrassment, “but, don’t feel like you're a replacement for a son, I know it might be a little painful for you, so sorry.”

“Don’t worry besides I’m just happy I have a place to stay” I told him to which he nodded slowly but then his phone started to ring, “sorry I need to take this.”

He left the room which I was left with Miss Weber and it was kinda because of the silence. “What are my new sisters like?”

“They are a unique bunch you can say.” She started, “they might be a little problematic at the start but they will bond with you.”

I thought of them alright but it seemed they might cause some trouble so I need to be on my feet, “alright I’ll keep that in mind.”

She then got a phone call to which she took it and I was left alone in the room, ‘this is boring.’ I was in this big house by myself not knowing what to do, so I went throughout to see what this place was like.

I went to the living room and saw photos and paintings and they had a big tv which I was a little surprised but this was normal for them but not me. I then went to my room to see what I had on my computer which wasn’t much, I just went through the files to see if there was anything noteworthy but it was only games, ‘they must have thought I was that type of person.’

I did play games but not much, only a tiny amount because I never found it fun or difficult. It was really easy for me. But I needed to check something so I went to the stock market to see how I was doing.

I saw that I was gaining profit of $248 and but still was going up and down but I checked what I could sell and buy which I found three companies and bought a well amount from them, I needed to make a fake ID to get a stock account but it was helping me make money even though I could take it out yet. Maybe I could ask them if I could get a bank account to put my profits.

“Hey Orion, want to go out so I can show you the neighbourhood?” Asked my father but he was outside the door and didn’t come in. So I went to the door and open3 and said, “that will be helpful.”

“Alright let’s go” he said as we went outside and in his car, a nice Range Rover and we went through the neighbourhood as he explained who lived where.

“Are they friends of yours?” I asked him to which he replied, “not all of them but there is one family which is, the Anderson’s. You might like them, they are really friendly.”

I just nodded and looked around the to see the houses, ‘everything look so expensive’

“I know this might be a little much to adapt to so take your time” he told me to which I nodded to him. I also remembered my teacher who taught me how to fight for 12 years and he also taught me studying and even how people act when in certain situations . If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have been able to learn anything or even act rastional. I haven’t heard from him for over four years but I hoped he was okay.

Mr Weber then drove through the entire area showing me the easy ways to go around and after which we returned back and I asked him, “mr Weber can I have a bank account if you don’t mind?”

“Oh we already made one for you so you don’t need to ask.” He said to which I felt relived I could get an account and get what I earned from my stocks. We then entered the house and I just saw My new phone and a card next to it thinking it my bank card. ‘Being rich is completely different.’

Money in life is important and it can even cause you to change the odds in a game so this can help me in the future I just need to spend it carefully. This isn't my money so I have no right to spend it how I please. Even though I was born in the worst side I knew boundaries well enough so I had to respect what I was given.
