I finally saw the red and white light house. We were there! I saw Daniel, Phoenix, Jon with Dad waving at us.
"HEY GUYS!" Velvet said. Me and her turned to Mom.
"How long..?" I said.
"Oh Lucas," she said, "a week, I guess."
"Thank you Mom! " I and Phoenix said.
"You are the best!" I added. Randomly, the light house flickered. It flicked again and again. It. Was. Morse. Code. I took out my morse code book.
It flickered again. "T" it said. It flickered 5 more times then another 5 times . Then it started flickering uncontrollablely. "H, I, S, I, S, N,O, T, Y, O, U, R, F, A, M, I, L, Y, A, N ,Y, M ,O, R, E." I was shook. It said, "This is not your family anymore."

What did it mean by that? I thought. We finally arrived on shore to see Dan, Nix, Jon and Dad.
"Hi y'all!" Velvet said, loud as ever, "We finally are here!  Did y'all miss us? Huh?"
"Yes," Dad said, "come in side."  Velvet looked at me.
"The hell? They're so dead?!"
"Yeah.." I said, remembering the light house morse code message. Does it have something to do with that? I thought.
"Come on kids, lets go in side!" Mom said forcibly pushing us inside the small, cottage like house next to the light house.
"So," Jonathon said, "how is your time here so far? Fun?" they asked us.
"Weird." we both said.

"Weird? Why is that?" Mom said.
"They have been acting.. strange? " Velvet said. I looked at her, fuming.
"Why did you tell them?" I said.
"You think we are the weird ones? We have ,uh, missed you so much, we have no joy. Lets hope you can put it back," Nix, short for Phoenix, said.
"I think we are done, right Velvet?" I rushly muttered.
"Hell no?!" she hissed, like a snake.
"No dessert?" Dan, short for Daniel, said, " oh my, yous are really different, but go on. "
"Thanks, Dan." I said, pushing Velvet with me. I ran to my old room with Velvet.

"I am deeply sorry for their behaviour they jus-" Mom got cut off.
Dad opened his mouth and showed it to Mom. She smiled and sat down.

"I needed a host. Thank you Artemis, demon of hypnosis."

"Really made me skip dessert?" Velvet screamed.

"Yes, I said, "they aren't our family anymore."
"You know this how?" Velvet hissed at me again.
"When I was on the boat with you and Mom the light house started flickering morse code. It ended up saying that they aren't our family anymore."

"Normally, I wouldn't believe you," Velvet declared, "but that does make a lot of sense. The demon like action like staring lifelessly in to my soul. what if they are possessed? Nah sorry, I am reaching."

"You arent." I said, "what if they were possessed. A priest to do and exorcism?"
"Hell no, " Velvet smirked, "you wanna be just like the exorsist movie? Where they float and throw up on you?"

"Still worth getting our family back. Ever since Mom and Dad had gotten divorced, Mom's been a, sorry not sorry, bitch." I said.

"Agreed." Velvet murmured.

"So, we could hire a priest and help Mom and Dad fall in love again and we can live a normal life aga-."
Mom barged in.

"We'll be staying for a month or two," She quickly shut the door. Holy shi- I said in in my mind. Me and Velvet looked at eachother.
"Oh no," we both said.
