***TRIGGER WARNING!!!***
***MAKE SURE YOU READ BOOK 1***
Just as things started to get better, the gang is hit with bad luck, misfortune, and jinxes. How much more can they take? What secrets is Athena hiding? When will the zombie apocalypse be over...
Giggling like crazy, I shake the present Scrooge McDuck got me.
"Careful, lass!" Scrooge warns. "It'll break if ye do that!"
OOHH! It's fragileeee!
I nod and slowly rip the wrapping paper off the box. I use my long fingers to cut the tape from the box, and chuck the Styrofoam, revealing a crystal with flowers inside, glowing blue, like the shade of my not-right-now, blue eyes.

I stare at the gift in my hands, jaw dropping to the floor. Everyone looks at the gift in my hands.
"H- How much was this..?" I ask, breathlessly.
Scrooge smiles. "Lass, I'm the richest duck in the world. I don't worry about the price of some glass if it's for ma family."
"No seriously." Louie interrupts. "How much of my inheritance did you spend on that?"
I wish I could say he was joking, but he's not.
Scrooge uses his cane and thwacks Louie's head. "It's not your inheritance yet, Louie. I'm not dead yet."
I look up at Scrooge McDuck, realizing what he called me. "Family"....
"F- Family?" I choke out, feeling sad and happy at the same time...
My parents are dead. My family is broken apart... will that happen to these guys if I "join"?
Yet, I'm happy cuz,
FUCKING SCROOGE MCDUCK CALLED ME FAMILY!!! AND BOUGHT ME THIS!!
"Yes, lass. Family." Scrooge smiles at me.
"Now open my gift, Zehra!!" Dewey urges and I take the little box. Ripping off the Santa Clause themed wrapping paper, I smile widely, not sure what it's going to be.
I hope it's not a expensive gift. If it is, I swear to God I'll return it.
I open the blue box and see little heart shaped papers inside. Each one has different writing. I look up to Dewey and see him biting his lower lip.
"What's this??" I ask, taking a piece of paper and showing it to everyone.
Dewey laughs. "It's 100 things I love about you." He says calmly and I feel butterflies in my stomach.
"Aww~" The family says and I swear, my face could not get anymore red.
I flip the paper over, starting to read, but Dewey snatches it from my hand. "Read it tonight." He says huskily, making me have to look away, and when I do, I stop at the girls, mouths wide open. Lena wiggles her eyebrows at me.
