MATT POV 

 I can't believe it's midnight already... how long was I gone?! 

She's gonna be so worried... 

 Slowly opening the door, I make my way inside, only to be stopped when I see Zehra step in front of me from a corner. Great. She's up.

 "Where. Have. You. Been?" She asks, eyes glowing. 

 "... Out." I answer, not backing down from our staring contest. 

"Where?" She demands, narrowing her eyes. 

 Alright... she's mad. 

 "Zeza, I'm 14. I can take care of myself." 

She clenches her teeth and I study her face. 

 She has bags under her eyes and looks like she hasn't slept. I notice her now-blue-eyes are a little red, probably from crying. 

 "Answer the question!" She pleads. 

 "I- I went for a stroll... to clear my head and calm down." It's not a lie! I did do that, but then decided to go to Emma.

She shakes her head, and turns around, walking up the stairs. She knows I'm lying, but doesn't give a damn.

I watch her stop and look back at me, hand on the railing. "Just be a good little brother and go to bed, okay? This has already been a stressful time, and to make it worse, you've almost been killed AND are lying to me."

I feel guilt creep up on me. 

"Best Christmas Eve ever..." She says sarcastically, and walks up all the way, until I correct her.

"It's actually Christmas now, sis." She whines and disappears from sight.

I hear footsteps behind me and get in a defensive position, but calm down once I see it's just Louie.

He steps out from the kitchen, holding a cup, probably of milk.

"She was really worried for you, you know." Louie says quietly as he walks up to me.

I roll my eyes. "What do you care?" I ask, sneering. I really don't need someone to talk to me about this, especially not Louie.

"I care because you are the reason for the whole mess with Emma." I flinch at the name, but start to get hot as images of what she did flash through my mind.

"What mess?" I ask, my voice cracking a little.

This doesn't go unnoticed by Louie. He studies my reaction to the mention of Emma, then continues, smirking while talking. "She wants to know who killed her brother... And kill them."

I freeze.

I did...

I killed Liam.

We all know it... except Emma.

She'll kill me if she finds ou-

Wait...

I chuckle. 

'You bitch...' I think.

"You gonna turn me in?" I ask, smiling and raising an eyebrow. 

Louie shrugs. "Maybe. Depends on how much you hurt Athena." He says, loosing his smirk. 

OK, can someone please tell me what happened to Athena?! She almost killed me a few hours ago, and now everyone hates ME.

I narrow my eyes. "I'll be sure to keep my distance, then." And walk up to the room us boys share.

ZEHRA POV

I can't sleep. So much has happened.

My sister-
*Step sister
-shot at my brother! Dewey saved him, BUT STILL!

My 15 year old sister is PREGNANT with her rapist's baby... 

Emma's back, and all over my baby brother. 

My parents, real and step, are dead. I'm an orphan.

I have powers, which I still need to do a better job at controlling.

I got a puppy named Turbo, who needs to get vaccinations and such. 

My sister is part demon. 

My rapist, and friend, is dead...

Most of my coworkers are dead...

Zombies keep coming from underground, making more zombies... 

Athena's trying the kill most of them, and return them to their human selves, but it's a slow process, and I don't think it'll be good for us...

McDuck manor EXPLODED and no one talks about it! 

No ones talking about anything! They just expect that everything will be okay, but it won't! I know it won't! 

Life is not some fairytale, where good always wins. 

I toss and turn in the sleeping bag, trying to shake my thoughts, but I can't. I need to talk to someone... I need to talk to Dewey.

DEWEY POV

"Dewey!" The crowd cheers. "Dewey! Dewey! Dewey! Yay!! DJ DAFT DUCK!"

I get on the stage and put on my helmet, making people cheer even loude-

"DEWEY...!" I  wake up when I hear Zehra whispering my name.

Her hazel eyes seem like they shine as bright as a night light. "Yes~" I whisper sing, making sure not to wake the other guys.

Zehra doesn't smile.... Something's up.

"Can we talk? I need to get my mind off things..." She whispers. 

I nod.

--LATER--

"So... yeah!" Zehra finally, smiles.

We sit on the couc- No. Zehra sits on the sofa. 

I lay with one leg on it, the other limp off of it. My arms are spread wide along side the sofa backrest.

"Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest." I say, and Zehra comes from in between my legs, laying her head on my chest. 

"Yeah..." She says tiredly. "I love you..!" Zehra says before her breathing slows, and I realize she's sleeping.

"I love you, too. And merry Christmas..." I whisper, while kissing the top of her head before I drift to sleep, too.

--MORNING--

"WHY GOOD MORNING LOVEBIRDS!!!" I wake up, startled at Lena's voice.

Zehra groans and tries to hide in my chest. "Webby..!!!" Her yell muffles from my shirt.

"Pink is outside playing with Turbo... so I can tease you two till she comes back..." Lena says evilly. She sits crossing her legs and places her elbows on her legs, and her head on her hand, watching us.

"Why do you enjoy this?" I ask, still tired and I hug Zehra tighter, intertwining our legs.

"Because I do." She answers, and I can hear the grin.

I hear Violet mumbling and walking towards us.

"Wait! No- Vi!!" Lena whines as Violet pulls her away from us. 

I sigh and close my eyes, slowly going back to sleep-

"You kids really do need to wake up, though." Scrooge says, interrupting my beauty rest.

EXCUSE! EXCUSE! COME TO MEEEE!!

"But we're tired!!" I defend, and I feel Zehra chuckle. 

"BUT IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!" Ty says, making it hard for me to argue.
