We sit around as Avery looks through some food menus.
It's so awkward they all know each other like family, I feel like a stranger here! From what I can deduct is that they aren't the usual family. Looking around my eyes turn to George, from what my mum Describes my Dad as he just doesn't seem like a child of his he raised... what's this Enid like I wonder.?
*CREEK*
The door opens again... this is him... THIS TIME ITS GOTTA BE HIM!
"Avery?" A man shouts down the hallway.
My face turns red knowing I'm about to see him for the first time right now! Although he sounds quite young... but the person who walks around that corner is my father-
he enters the room putting him jacket down. "Avery.. why's everyone in the kitchen?"
That's not my dad...
"August!" Everyone waves.
"Afternoon, all. Avery that snows really starting to pile up outside... how's Desmond and Mitchell going to get down the drive?" He asks Avery.
"I'm sure they'll be fine.." she waves him off as she continues looking through the menus.
August? He's...
Etty rises. "Oh! August..." she runs around and grabs me.
"This is my sister, Emaline!" She smiles.
August looks into my eyes. "Your Desmonds daughter?"
He chuckles..
"I'm august and I'm the cousin of Avery.." he tells me.
I smile at him. " oh.."
'He looks young enough to be Evelynn's cousin!!'
His eyes move away from me and he opens his mouth. "Well I'm going to get the presents from the car, Nice to meet you Emaline."
He looks back at me, he's handsome!
Suddenly, he slams his hand on the table and points to George. "Alright short stuff help me with these gifts!"
George doesn't change his expression. "But it's cold and I've already carried my gifts in.."
"Quite Frankly George i don't care, get your body moving!" He raises his voice.
George stands and walks around the table into the hallway. August nods and follows him.

We move into the living room with the tree and fire, it's so cozy and Avery even put the radio on letting Christmas chants roam free.
Athena and Avery give up looking for place to eat and begin setting the presents out for tomorrow.

August walks over and sits next to me.
"So Emaline, your here to see your old man?" He asks.
"Oh.. yeah.. it's a bit more complicated than just coming to meet him, I was actually coming to take him home but that's before I heard about this Enid.." I explain.
He chuckles. "Well this Enid isn't going to pleased to meet you.."
My eyes curl.
"Is she mean? Or scary?" I quiver.
"I've met her a few times, in a Normal environment she seems like a normal but some what childish woman.. but when it comes to Desmond... her crimson eyes pierce the room and her face turns to death incarnate and she sucks the soul-"
"That's enough of that!" Evelynn comes over and sits next to me.
"Enid isn't like that she's kind and sympathetic! A true incarnation of love and protection.." Evelynn smiles and holds her hands to her face.
