"Hey wake up!" I feel someone shake me.
"Ah what's going on?!" I cry out as I jump up.
"Wow! Nothing I was just telling you we're here." He tells me.
I rub my eyes and look out the window to see an ocean of white snow, it goes on forever.
"Where again?" I ask him.
"Aunt Avery's.." he raises his eyebrow.
"Aunt? Second aunt?" He looks at me with a puzzled look.
"Aunt Avery's? Is it my aunt?" Etty tuts.
"She's everyone's aunt, Emaline!" She yells.
I jump.
"Evelynn's actual aunt." Lupus informs.
I look at him and nod in understanding.
"So Evelynn isn't your cousin?"
Evelynn chuckles and Etty sighs.
"Oh you're actually slow, huh?" Lupus smiles.
"My mom said I learn things in my own way!" I slam my fists to my palm.
They all hum, I tilt my head In confusion.
————
Evelynn parks the car in the large snow covered drive.
"You think anyone's here yet?" Evelynn asks.
Etty scoffs. "Ahahah.. Nope."
"It wouldn't be convenient." Lupus tells me.
"For what?"
He just shrugs.
"So she lives in this big house by herself? That's sad.." I say looking out the window.
"No not always, Emaline. Etty usually freeloads here." Evelynn slaps Etty's leg.
"Ouch! So do you asshole. Anyways she offers me and I don't think I'm ready to have my own home yet." She pouts.
"You're nearly 30! And you've got a kid-"
"Lupus doesn't mind. Lupus doesn't mind, do you?"
"No I don't mind." Lupus bites his nails.
"See, he's fine with it. As am I." They look at each other with smug looks, Evelynn opens the car door puts her middle finger up.
"Oh god is that a fake arm?!"
"Yeah forgot to mention that in the last one..."
...
"Alright everyone let's go." We all exit and walk up to the door.
Evelynn walks in.
"Merry Christmas!" Etty yells out.
The house is huge and magnificent, but empty and quiet. The architecture is so beautiful.
A man walks out from the back and into the room we enter.
He looks like Evelynn.
I point at him.
"Brother-"
"Cousin.. 2nd cousin?" Lupus corrects me.
"Ahhhh okay."
"August." Evelynn smiles as he smiles.
Etty turns to Evelynn.
"This guy fly here himself, swear to god you just got off the phone to him." She looks confused.
