Playing on the quietened radio was a plenty of Christmas songs, I hold my hands together as sit in the car looking down.
'I think Evelynn is a cousin but acts more like a sister to Etty...'
"Mom, I think she's broken?" Lupus says trying to look into my eyes.
I look up with a frown and a tear rolling down my face.
*SCREECH*
The car slams to a holt.
"Oh god are you okay?" The woman Evelynn says looking back. Etty turns back with a straight face.
"What's up Emaline?" She asks.
I sniffle and wipe my barely moist eyes.
"It's just.. my mom doesn't let me meet lots of knew people.. so I don't know what to do." I say stuttering.
Etty and Evelynn look at each other with frowns. A sniffle comes from next to me as Lupus looks like he's about to cry.
Etty looks so sad. "Godammit Lupus, Give me her a hug!"
He jumps around me holds me tight.
'I could almost feel the kinship between the hug, it certainly made me feel a lot better.'
I hug him back and they both watch. Evelynn's face lights up with a smile.
"What's he like?" I ask him.
"Huh?" They both turn as she begins driving again.
"My Dad..?" Lupus releases me from my hug.
"Oh Desmond, he's been better." Evelynn speaks up.
"He's like a more normal Etty." As she says that she's met with prod from Etnea.
"Ouch! I'm driving Etty."
Etty folds her arms. "You know that's not true!"
"He's not as he used to be but I promise you Emaline, he's awesome." She smiles and looks into the mirror.
She then tenses her jaw and she drops her smile.
'Why did Evelynn answer? Wouldn't Etty know more about him?'
"Mom are we gonna wrap Emaline up?"
I look at him with horror filled eyes.
"You're gonna kill me?" I ask him.
He looks at me with a smile.
"I don't know? Are we-"
"No we're not gonna kill her- Emaline are you okay?" Evelynn pipes through.
I scratch my head and nod.
"I'm fine, why?"
Etty and Evelynn look at each other again, this time with a more sincere look.
*RING*
*RING*
"Huh?! Oh no!" Etty scrambles and rushes for her phone.
"No Lupus you don't have to wrap up every present, oh shit it's Shiro!" She looks at the phone.
"Oh shit! You're dead!" Lupus chuckles.
"LUPUS!" She answers and puts it on speaker.
"Hello this is Etnea Melodis." In a serious voice.
"Etty.. where are you?" He asks with a scary voice.
I duck down to Lupus. "He sounds mean and mad?"
He taps my shoulder and pulls a pouty face. "That's Mr Shiro."
