THE UNKNOWN

[The Condescension]

Diamond smiled a bit and nodded. "Alright, I'll get changed and watch for the cab while you take care of that one." She said as she went upstairs, never actually being to Apollos house but she didn't mind it in the slightest just wanting to talk to Vera. She hurried up and changed, getting Verena and Austin in their car seats without waking them grabbing few things of theirs before waiting at the door for the cab. Once the cab came and they all got in, the Cab got their fairly quickly not too much of traffic was going on.


Vera was sitting on Apollos couch holding a little sleeping Sapphire, Nicolas's car not being there so he had gone to work trusting Adrian to keep Apollo and Dedrich in line. Delilah and Apollo was on the love seat, Delilah being asleep against him while Apollo had a cat snuggled close to him being asleep as well. Apollo actually being dressed unlike the other times she had hung around there, Adrian sitting next to Vera looking bored out of his mind. Dedrich not being anywhere in sight, presumably in his room upstairs.

"I don't want to go there." Clarissa said, her face had a massive scowl as she get inside the cab. Before going out, she left the pups inside their boxes to prevent them from roaming around. Sage was in her arms amd the sleeping babies were beside her while Diamond was up front.


The cab stopped in front of the familiar looking house. It's been ages since she was ever been there. She still doesn't want to go back but they need to. Clarissa tried for the door and she wasn't surprised that it wasn't lock. However, she was surprised seeing how many people were there in their living room. It was her first time seeing the living room so crowded. She was holding the bags of the kids while Diamond carried the two babies. She led her in and Clarissa closed the door. "Hey, how's Sapphire?" Clarissa greeted at Vera, before she sat beside Adrian and giving him a light kiss on his cheek. Sage was still in her arms and she doesn't have any inclination of letting her go. Clarissa completely ignored the goodlooking pedophile and his sleeping jailbait.

 

[The Condescension]

"She's alright, they gave her some antibiotics and sense it isn't that bad it shouldn't be getting any worse. She'll have her cough for a while though, it really is painful to listen to." Vera said rubbing Sapphires back softly while the little girl slept cuddled up against her mothers shoulder. Vera didn't notice Diamond on purpose, just how Clarissa was ignoring the sleeping girl and greek god being like the actual Apollo he had many wives and was probably going to have just as many kids. She watched as Diamond sat the two kids in their car seats who were sleeping soundly sitting down in a spare chair by herself staring directly at Vera with no hesitation, Vera ignoring her.

 

[diwa]

"That's good to know." Clarissa smiled at her. "The two seems fine. No coughs and all. But Verena and Austin both woke up the same time. Nearly drive me nuts when the girl wailed." She chuckled, absently patting Sage's leg lightly. But the little girl had another propect. Once she saw the furry little thing in Apollo's arms, her eyes never left them. It wasn't Pudding, the little girl knew that but she was curious as to what is it and probably wanting to give it some warm hugs just like what she did with Wrinkles. "You'll need help with the three, you still can't have these two near her... I think it was safe when they were back in the house."

 

[The Condescension]

"I'm fine, Clarissa. Besides these are his kids to you know, he wanted to know what they looked like and Nicolas will be back when he gets off work. I'm fine with him seeing his kids." Vera said, looking over at Apollo who was staring back at Sage noticing the little girl taken notice to his cat. Apollo got off the couch, moving the girl slowly so she wouldn't wake up and was laying down on the couch and left the room coming back after a minute with a kitten that was a light grey color being soft and fluffy, handing it to Sage who happily took it from him.


"It's declawed, the other one has a temper so I wouldn't let her mess with that one. That one and the other one thats ginger and white are declawed. That black one over there isn't." He said to Clarissa as he just went upstairs, hoping the woman would freak the fuck out over his kind gesture to her daughter, Adrian not having an issue with it though he wasn't as pissy towards Apollo as Clarissa was. The black cat Apollo was petting jumping off the arm of the couch onto the sleeping school girl, waking her up in an instant and just laid there pouting at the cat clearly being half asleep, the cat just stared back at her.

 

[diwa]

Clarissa just looked at Vera with her dead ehes, as if wanting to remind the ex-stripper that he tried to kill them by tricking her into having sex then shove some pills inside her. "I know Nicolas won't mind, but let the man rest." Clarissa said but knowing Nicolas he'd rather stay up and look out for his grand kids. "Don't you want Diamond's help?" She thought that Apollo walked out, getting bored or whatever runs in his head but then came back with a kitten and handed it to the little girl. Sage took the kitten gingerly and looked at it, she look at Clarissa for any reassurance. Clarissa picked the kitten up and let it sat on Sages lap. She did appreciate Apollo's concern but didn't even bother to say thank you. Her not screeching at him is good as thank you.


"You do know she could squeeze this thing unknowingly," Clarissa said quietly, her eyes was still at Sage who squealed with delight and put her lips on the kitty's head, giving it a kiss. Clarissa looked at Adrian and smiled, "She gave a warm hug to Wrinkles, I thought I was gonna mop some entrails. But no worries, no harm done. He's all good." She reassured the baby daddy but didn't mention anything about what she did to the other pup. Sage was hugging and petting the kitty but her hands were a little heavy, Clarissa took control of her arms and taught her how to pet it. "Soft kitty, warm kitty..."


She whispered at Sage, the little girl was smiling and had some fur on her lip.

 

[The Condescension]

Apollo stayed upstairs knowing that he unwelcome amongst that group and knew that his girlfriend was as well, but he knew she didn't know if so he'd have to come back down and they two would disappear somewhere else in the house. "Well thats good to know neither of my puppies are dead." Adrian laughed as he leaned over, brushing the fur off the little girls lips. "Hopefully she doesn't hurt Apollos kitten, he'd lose his shit I promise you that. I'm surprised he even let her mess around with it to begin with."


"I don't want any help from Diamond, I'm done with her. She's abusive and I want nothing to do with it. I'm sure if Apollo hit me the way she did you'd have his head on a spike. You don't care if she hurts me or not, I fucking do though good god." Vera huffed, Diamond just stared her sadly, a bit angry what she said but she knew it was true. She had the girl twice in less than 24 hours having no excuse for the second time either.


Dedrich came downstairs having no idea anyone was there in the slightest it being clear he had just woken up and was shirtless, having on plaid PJ pants and was good looking like all of the Achers. He looked at the living room full of people not knowing Delilah, Vera, the three kids, Sage, and Diamond in the slightest. He just went to kitchen and got himself a bagel, overhearing what Vera had said to Diamond. "Let her go, uh... the one with black hair I don't know your name. If she wants you back someday you'll get her back I'm sure but as of now I can easily tell she wants to wring your neck." He said to Diamond as stood there eating his bagel, Diamond was just silent as he just stared back at him with a weird look finding it a bit rude he just gave her advice like that. Adrian stared at his brother, it being the first time he had seen him since he was put in jail and still hated him for him being almost killed.

 

[diwa]

"Yes, they're fine. They're fine." Clarissa reassured and was grateful for Diamond on not bringing up the biting. "He gave it to Sage. He personally give it to her, and I did warn her so if this little thing gets killed, it's not my fault." The little girl was still petting the kitty gingerly just like how she was taught..


Clarissa just sighed, not certain on how to get Diamond back on her good graces, she knew it might happen but it was worth the try.


She could handle Apollo, it wasn't her baby nor her family that he threaten to kill. She could yell at him and still be okay with it but then Dedrich came along, Dedrich who tried to kill her baby daddy loads of times. Dedrich who killed their classmate in front of her. And Dedrich who tried to attack her but thanks to baby daddy and classmates, he was unsuccessful. Apart from Apollo, Dedrich was the other reason as to why she hated going to the house but there he was. Standing shirtless and charming like a psychopath. He still had this bad boy aura in him that makes him so damn good looking. Instead of reacting, she focus herself on Sage and Sage's little toy. Afraid that she might go berserk at Dedrich and bite his head off.

 

[The Condescension]

Delilah looked at everyone, clearly beyond confused and wanted to go back to sleep but the mean cat on top of her was staring her down like it was ready to attack her face. She wasn't afraid just not wanting to sleep while getting that look. She grabbed the cat, sitting on the floor and as soon as she did the evil thing hissed at her before jumping back up on top of her sitting on her boobs. She was clearly a bit freaked out and didn't know how to handle situation. Dedrich turned his attention away from Diamond, watching that cat. "I fucking hate that thing, I want to burn in hell. Apollo likes the damn thing for some reason." He said watching the girl as she tried to get it off again but it had its nail dug into her school shirt and wasnt about to let thing thing rip her shirt so she lowered it back down letting it sit there but was annoyed with it. Apollo clearly not lying when he said that cat would not work out with Sage.


Vera looked at Dedrich and back at Clarissa thinking for a moment. "Hey is that brother you told me to avoid at all cost and he's a dick?" She asked not caring if he was there or not.


"Yes." Dedrich answered her question for Clarissa. "Unless I have a brother I don't know about and she does."

 

[diwa]

Clarissa smirked at Delilah, seeing her all tied up with the cat like it was the boss of her. She was grateful for him not giving it to Sage or Adrian would most definitely flay Apollo alive and shove the cat so far up his ass for hurting Sage. The jailbait was completely being ignored by everyone, and totally bot caring about her demise. Clarissa could understand Dedrich. She too if she's still living in their house, she'll probably put the cat on the basement and lock her there everytime his master isn't around.


Clarissa looked at Dedrich then looked back at Vera. "Yeah, what he said. The one and only." She flashed her a sweet smile, she knew Dedrich doesn't care about her antagonizing him, and Clarissa doesn't mind doing it in front of him. "Apparently you can't avoid him, you're living here now, so you have to deal with him."

 

[The Condescension]

Dedrich rolled his eyes. "I'm in my room a lot she wont be seeing a lot of me, I only came out for breakfast I had no idea so many people where here either. Who are the three I don't know?" He asked, catching the attention of all three of the girls.


"I'm Vera, that one you talked to about me is Diamond and the ginger school girl is Delilah." Vera answered, watching the girl struggle with the cat in amusement trying not to laugh. Thinking to herself she'd help but she couldn't put down Sapphire.


Apollo came back down the steps to get his lolita. He stopped at the base of the stairs and looked at her. "Come one, lets go upstairs." He said watching her try to get the cat off again but was only hissed at and kept its claws dug into the poor girls shirt.


"I can't this cat will kill me, it's evil." She pouted, letting go of the cat letting it sit there. Apollo just laughed at the poor girl, even if he was in a relationship with her watching her struggle was hilarious. He went over to her and helped her get the cat off by pulling its nails out one by one the demon not being happy about it in the slightest hissing at both of them but didn't attack either one of them. Delilah sat up and got off the couch eyeing the cat as Apollo sat it back down, the thing leaping at her and the girl just ran for it not knowing where to go and climbed up onto the kitchen island without hesitation right past Dedrich who was just laughing his ass off at the poor girl. The cat trying to climb onto the island but had nothing for its claws to dig into so only sat on the ground hissing at the poor girl was just standing there in her socks on the island Adrian laughing at her too at this point along with Vera and Diamond.


"Oh come on you're so much bigger than it just smashed the damn thing with your foot." Diamond said while laughing.

 

[diwa]

Clarissa just rolled her eyes at Dedrich and focus on the little girl. As much as she hated Apollo, she doesn't want the poor kitty to die in the little girl's hands. She could see that little Sage is struggling with self control as she tries to pet the cat, if she was allowed, she knew Sage will give all her love to the kitten which means a tight hug and a possible biting and thus the end of the kitten's life. Adrian was right though, if the kitty perished in Sage's chubby little hands, Apollo will throw a bitch fit.


Apollo swooped in to claim his newest lady friend, Clarissa heard the girl complained and she could understand why, the cat was lounging on her and it was really mean looking. The cat's looks were nicer compared to its attitude when Delilah decided to make a run for it and Satan's tubby cat followed, hissing at her. It was fun seeing the girl all scared and agitated and Clarissa only felt bad a little since all of them are laughing. They are clearly, without a doubt, the worst older people Delilah should hang out with.


"She can't hurt that cat," Clarissa laughed, answering Diamond, "Aside form Apollo might hurt her, the cat will probably bite her off first." Delilah was truly scared which added to their amusement. "Oh for god sake, take that cat away, Apollo." Clarissa trying to keep a straight face, "Stop scaring her." But only to burst out laughing again when the cat hissed at the school girl.

 

[The Condescension]

Dedrich reached down, picking up the pissy little creature. The cat from hell flailing around and tried to get down out of his arms but Dedrich wouldn't let the little demon go in return he was bit and scratched out, Dedrich just giving Apollo the look of 'I'm going to throw this cat out the window.' He went over to the front door and opened it with out hesitation literally throwing the cat into the yard and slammed the door shut the cat as soon as it landed was going to run back into the house but instead was sitting on the porch clawing at the door. "Let it learn that it's bitchness means no home. So help me god if you let that thing back in I'm going break your neck." He said looking Apollo in the eye with scowl on his face going over to the sink to rinse the blood off his bleeding arm and hand where the cat scratched him.


Apollo rolled his eyes. "You know that thing doesn't care where you send when it's bad. It's not a dog it'll never learn." He admitted, basically calling the thing stupid which was more than true. He went over to the front door and opened it, picking up the cat who still looked pissed off but clearly enjoyed Apollo and only him so he wasn't attacked. Dedrich left the kitchen sink his arm still bleeding and opened the front door back up right after Apollo shut it and grabbed his hair dragging him outside and left him out there running back for the house and just about to shut the door but Apollo having dropped the cat to fight his brother only knocked him down with a fair amount of force it clearly sounding like it hurt a fuck ton.


Instead of Apollo beating the shit out of him just got up, his cat just walking by back inside and sat in the living room floor, Dedrich got up off the ground his head bleeding and the side of his face being red where he hit the ground it clearly bruising. He grabbed Apollo by the back of his shirt and jumped onto his back, wrapping his legs around his brothers waist to hold him up as he used his left arm to start choking the poor sexy cat lover. Adrian and Vera just watching, Diamond being more focused on the evil cat and Delilah was just watching the two fight knowing there was nothing she could do. Apollo clearly not being able to breath, Dedrich actually not caring if he could breathe or not. Apollo trying to get the man off him ending up falling back onto the ground, Dedrich still clinging to the man who was turning red from lack of her air. With the two laying on the ground, Dedrich let go of his neck and suddenly twisted his head slamming his hand into the side of Apollos head behind his ear clearly hitting a pressure point and the man stopped moving either being dead or passed out. Dedrich got out of from underneath him and dragged him back outside into the front yard and grabbed the evil cat when he came back in, throwing it again and locked the two out.


"Did you kill him?" Adrian asked, clearly not wanting to step between the two and didn't.


"Eh, he's fine just passed out." Dedrich said calmly, helping Delilah off the counter the girl just looking horrifed as she said nothing and held her hand as he walked upstairs with the girl.


Diamond got up and looked at the three kids. "I'ma go get lunch, y'all have fun." She said as she just left shutting the front door behind her.

 

[diwa]

Clarissa just stared at Dedrich and Apollo's deathmatch. She actually thought that Dedrich wasn't gonna follow on his threat but then she realized it was Dedrich, he may sound sane and looked perfectly hot and normal, only he's not. He's still a freakin' psychopath. He was surprised that he could beat up Apollo, knowing him that had training along side with her baby daddy. Then again, she realize that it was Dedrich Acher, the hottest psychopath next to Norman Bates and Tate Langdon. Anything is possible to him.


When the blacksheep was strangling the cat boy, Clarissa badly wanted to nudge at Adrian and play a little betting game. Her money was on Dedrich of course, but then she thought that it may not be so appropriate, so she kept her mouth shut until the show was over.


And she was right! Dedrich beaten up poor Apollo and was dragged outside just like how Achilles drag Hector towards the city gates of Troy.


"That was fun," Clarissa whispered as she pulled the cat away from Sage's mouth. The ear was wet with her drool. "An easy money, I should've asked anyone for a bet." She grinned at Adrian. "Okay, now I have a question. And i'm asking this just out of curiosity Acher, I don't want you doing stupid stuff." She looked down again and pulled the cat's tail away from Sage's mouth. The kid was unstoppable, she tried to pry the cat away from her hands but Sage shriek so she let her have it. The little girl looked up and just started petting the cat with her tubby hands. "I can confidently say that you can beat up Apollo, and Dedrich can beat up the sucker too. But between Dedrich and you, who'll win in a fight?"

 

[The Condescension]

Adrian watched as Delilah was dragged upstairs knowing that Dedrich wasn't like that in the slightest and was probably doing it to piss Apollo off when he woke up. "I've never actually full on faugh- Well when we were younger but recently I haven't." He shrugged his shoulders watching as Sage messed with his brothers cat. "I don't know in all honesty, were he learned how to fight is beyond me. I guess he's stronger than he looks." He messed with Sage's hair as she played with the kitten. Vera just sat there watching cuddling Verena as the child slept, the other two sleeping in their car seats.

 

[diwa]

"You wonder where he learn fighting?" Sge looked at him incredulously. "Heck, he knows where to hire mercenaries, he dealt with drugs before and you're seriously still wondering? But he is good." Clarissa said quite amaze at what happened. "And Dedrich is a little... different and weird from what I remember. He's one emo twisted bitch before and now... I don't know. He's kinda socializing. Odd."

 

[The Condescension]

"My father has clearly been working on him, he probably just fights with my brother a lot. Just a silent agreement on the how the two get out their hatred for the world most likely. I know Apollo and as soon as he wakes up and finds Delilah around Dedrich someone is going to die." He snickered quietly at the thought, listening to the evil cat scratch at the front door. "Dedrich will most likely be killed, We all know that girl can't cheat or hurt a fly. Nice to see innocence for once to be honest. Bless her."

 

[diwa]

It wasn't hard for Clarissa to believe about what Adrian said. She could easily pocture Nicolas riling up Dedrich and Apollo. She found it sick and twisted but if that works for them just so they would not kill each other during sleep, who is she to argue with his methods. "I'll bet you ten bucks Apollo will get his ass kicked again." Clarissa said confidently, and it was the first time ever since she saw Dedrich that she trusted him on something. "And yes. Naive and innocent. How can she not be? she's in highschool. I seriously don't know what will happen to Delilah, but it is either she'll influence Apollo, which I highly think that there is a higher chance of having a unicorn as a pet than that happening, or Delilah will be wild and it's just another theme for a porno movie. "

 

[The Condescension]

"Honestly getting that girl undressed is something Apollo is going have to do over the course of so long. I know she said she's not going to a Christian school or anything but she most defiantly has the sex after marriage vibe." He snickered, the cat having no desire to stop and just had at it and the door. "Her changing Apollo just might be a bit more likely in my opinion. Or Apollo will give up be either happens."
