"Granny?" Six-year-old Lizzy watched her grandma in awe bringing out a golden necklace with a diamond crested pendant from her drawl.
"This" her grandma traced the pendant with her fingers "Is a gift from your ancestors, passed down from generation to generation" She gave it to her.
"Wow, why didn't you give it to Dad?" She asked not taking her eyes off the diamond.
"He…, He didn't want it Luv, now it's yours" She rubbed her granddaughter's cheek.
Lizzy finally looked up at her Granny's face, She saw her eyes change colour from warm ocean blue to green for a brief second but it happened so fast. "All yours" Her grandma whispered
"This is a secret okay" Her granny pulled out her pinkie and she happily intertwined it "Our little secret," she said.

"Ma'am"
Lizzy woke up with a slight headache and the first person she saw was a body-built man with a suit on.
"We've arrived ma'am" he curtly said before walking away.
Anxious, she said"I can't believe I'm back" She stood up grabbed her novel, and walked to the entrance, The sun shone brightly she had to use her palm to block the light.
Her luggage was already being put in the boot of another car, so she walked down the stairs.
"If it isn't Elizabeth Quin, my oh my you've grown much" A man leaning on the car said with a strong British accent, he removed his shades and Lizzy recognized him.
"Charles?"She said and ran into the open arms of her older brother. She pulled away."It's been so long "
"Three years Liz, Three years" There is only one person who called her Liz and it was her dear brother.
He used his hand to rake his curly brunette hair "And my you look so different, so, feminine"
She put her arms on her waist with a raised brow "Feminine?"
His smile widened, he missed her "Let's get going then, You don't want to keep the others waiting"
She froze "Others?"
"You know Mum, Dad, Richard, his wife, and kids" he shrugged "Basically everyone"
"Everyone" she whispered, she suddenly felt nervous again, this was happening, after running away from home she was finally going back to face them all.
"Come on let's go" he grabbed her hand, opened the passenger door for her, and shoved her inside.
He entered and started the car "Are they all happy to see me?"
"Everyone is, except Richard" He drove out of the hangar.
"He's still angry?"
"Angry?" he scoffed "He's furious"
"Geez it's been three years" She shifted uncomfortably
Charles looked at you with all sincerity in his forest green shaded eyes "For someone who loved you so much of course he'll be mad"
"I didn't mean to" she mumbled and looked out the window, but deep down she knew that she meant to run away, to break free.
"Hey, no negative feelings on your arrival, Dad asked me to pick you up on your arrival for a reason"
