I step out of the airport.

"Fall industries..." I walk to a taxi and wave it down, I knock on the window and he rolls it down.

"H-hello.. can I go to Fall industries?" I ask.

"Yeah I'll take you, get in." I smile and step in.

'Etnea Melodis... the way my Mom described him it seemed like he'd never have any other kids but me.'

I watch out the window as we enter the city centre, Christmas trees and lights. Rolling down the window I stick my head out with a joy.

"This is amazing!" I whisper.

"Fall Industries Food backs are down the street!" Someone yells with a sign.

Everyone seems happy but a sense of relief hangs over the city.

Stopping. "Alright this is it."

I pay him his due and get out looking at the building under construction, Fall Industries.

I step in and head to the desk.

"Excuse me Ma'am is Etnea Melodis here?" I ask.

"Who's asking?"

"Oh! I'm Emaline Melodis... I'm her sister." I tell her awkwardly.

She chuckles. "That sounds horrible. She's hear but she's working and Mr Fall said she isn't to be disturbed so she can't get distracted."

"Distracted? But I have to see her! Please Ma'am." I frown.

She sighs and looks behind me. "I can't give you access.. but he can."

She points and I turn to see a little kid walking around the lobby.

"That kid?" I ask.

"That's Little Lu.. when Shiros not here that kid runs everything pretty much. It's her son. Little bastard more like." She scoffs.

"Her son?"

I look over at him as he taps the fishes. He's got strange amber eyes and almost brown hair like it's a muddy blonde.

"I don't understand-"

"Lu! Come here a sec." She shouts over to him.

He gets closer and once he sees me he stops in his tracks, a face of shock and confusion one that was nothing more than scary.

Looking like he'd seen a murder he walks closer to me.

"Grandma?" He sniffs and steps back.

"You're not Grandma Enid.. are you?" He tugs my arm.

I pull away.

"Grandma! I don't look that old!" I cry.

"Lu stop terrorising her and take her to your mother for me, please." The receptionist tell him.

He hums.

"Shiro said I'm not allowed to disturb her." He taps his chin.

"Shiro? Shiro Fall?"

He looks at me with a curled eyebrow. "Uh yeah?"

My mouth goes into a o shape as I nod.

"But I guess I could take you to see her." He shrugs and begins walking.

Looking to the receptionist she rolls her eyes and nods. I follow the child which I assume to be my nephew?

"So you're mother what's she like?" I ask as we exit the elevator.

He begins laughing.

'Well if her sons anything to go off..'
