  From: Encantadiafan12: Nemesis, what if Nyoze and Gammon had a sweet little sister? And you got to meet her?

  (This will be in story format.)

  "You're back!" a small voice cried. There was the pound of footsteps, and a someone flung themself towards Nyoze. More footsteps followed, and Gammon and Lilith appeared, looking flustered.

  Lilith put a hand on the person's shoulder. A girl of about twelve stared at me with wide eyes. She had deep purple hair and lighter purple eyes. A flower crown consisting of purple and white flowers adorned her head. She wore a light purple dress with a white flower brooch.

  "Ah, sorry about her," Lilith said apologetically.

  Nyoze waved his hand. "It's fine." He met the girl's gaze. "Hello, Viola, this is Nemesis."

  The girl's eyes were wide. "Is she your girlfriend?" she asked.

  We both froze. My eyes shot towards his in a panic. Gammon broke the silence by laughing. "Yep! She sure is!" Nyoze and I glared at him.

  That made Viola happy. "Yay! I have a sister-in-law!"

  My entire body stiffened. My breathing slowed down. Nyoze reached out and squeezed my hand. "Lilith, why don't you take Viola and watch some cartoons? I'm sure they're on right now."

  Viola's babysitter smiled thinly. "I'm sure you would like tha-"

  "Can she come too?" Viola asked, pointing to me. This time, Gammon met my gaze.

  The silence was heavy, crushing almost. And then, "Sure, I'll watch with you two."

  With that, the three of us headed to the living room, leaving the brothers behind. The room was a mess, with toys and books scattered about. Was this girl twelve or two? Seriously, why was it such a mess?

  Lilith settled on the couch, and Viola messed with the television until a show came on. It featured a black and white cat dancing around. We watched until a different show came on. This one had a dog and a pretty girl.

  "Her name is Betty Boop, and that's Bimbo," Viola pointed out helpfully. I nodded, unsure of what to do. Lilith was no help; she was busy painting a picture.

  "Are you going to marry my brother?" Viola asked after some time. I wasn't sure how to answer. "Because I like you. I want you to be my sister-in-law." Her eyes weren't so playful and childish. They held an adult clarity. I shivered.

  "Well, I hope so. I really like him," I responded. That was enough of an answer.

  I suppose that Lilith was exhausted, for she fell asleep a while later. The shows continued, and I lost focus on them.

  What I didn't realize was that Viola had disappeared. I shot up, my eyes darting around for her. Lilith noticed my panic.

  "Gammon?" she called. He came running in. "Have you seen Viola?"

  He frowned. "She's in her room, didn't you see her? Wait, have you two been watching cartoons for the past two hours?"

  I felt a blush forming. "Yeah," I admitted. Gammon sighed and shook his head.

  "Nemesis, Lilith, you need to pay more attention to small children. They can do anything if they put their minds to it." This felt rehearsed, as if he gave to speech to Lilith often.

  The fourteen year old ducked her head. "Sorry," she mumbled.

  "I'll go see her," I said, standing up. Gammon nodded and vanished.

  I quickly made my way up the stairs, hoping that she was playing a game. What I saw when I pushed the door open was unexpected. Viola was sitting on her bed, weaving fake flowers together into a crown, similar to what she had on.

She saw me and smiled, springing up and running to me. "You're here!" Then, she gestured to the crown. "It's for you!" Viola lifted up the crown and placed it on my head.

My heart was about to explode. This girl had just met me, and now she had made me something.

"Thank you," I whispered.
