Whisper to clouds

Chapter 3 - Family Reunion.

Charlotte was still weak, but she was slowly recovering. Charlotte had to attend a reunion with her family, including Emma, but she hadn't seen Sophia in a long time, Sophia was also a cousin. Sophia was also an only child, Sophia liked to mock Emma. Emma didn't much appreciate it, so they would fight a lot. Charlotte was neutral, she had good relationships with both Sophia and Emma. The reunion was held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Charlotte didn't like flying on airplanes, it made her anxious and gave her an uneasy time. The first time Charlotte got on a plane, she started to cry, but she got over that stage pretty quickly, as she grew up.

"I don't like flying on airplanes." Charlotte admitted Emma looked at her, "Really? Are you that scared of flying?" Emma said, "Yeah obviously, it makes me uncomfortable sitting on an airplane for a long time." Charlotte said. Emma started to look out the window. "I've never been to Las Vegas," Emma said, her reflection was on the window, and her eyes were darting everywhere trying to see everything. "I've seen it a thousand times already, and it doesn't seem that cool to me anymore." Charlotte scoffed, she didn't like being in Las Vegas due to Sophia and Emma's relationship, plus drama was about to be brewed like a kettle of tea. If the tea spills from the kettle, it's all over for the three of them. Charlotte had to maintain Emma and Sophia under control, making sure both of them don't make a fool of themselves.

"Don't fight with Sophia, don't give the impression of being a fool." Charlotte said she already knew what Emma was going to say: "I'm not, I promise, I won't make a fool of myself." Charlotte didn't want to snap at Emma, but she wanted Emma not to lie about it. Because when she said, "I'm not, I promise, I won't make a fool of myself." It meant that Emma would surely cause trouble, causing trouble for Sophia and herself. Charlotte just sat there in silence and didn't say a word. "What happened to you," Emma said, "Don't know what you're talking about," Charlotte said. "Ya know, the whole thing with you getting a fever." Emma said, Charlotte looked at her, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell Sophia." Charlotte said, "Got it." Emma said, "Are you sure?" Charlotte asked she was suspicious about Emma, "I won't tell Sophia, I promise." Emma said, she smiled brightly towards Charlotte.

Charlotte started to tell her about the strange dream she had. "That happened?" Emma said, "That happened." Charlotte said she got her phone out and checked the forum post. She got some comments about her post, all of the arrows were accurate, even though they may not be aligned. Others started to try it and started to post it on the forum. It did turn out as Charlotte had predicted, three arrows, not aligned, it might be a win for her.

Charlotte had posted it as anonymous, she didn't have an ID number. Charlotte didn't feel the need to have an ID number like the others.

Charlotte then put her phone away, she wanted to return home and sleep all day without having to worry about Sophia or Emma. Charlotte started to see the house of Sophia, she dreaded being there. "Haven't seen this place in forever," Emma said, Charlotte looked out the window, they were already there in a span of a few minutes. "I've seen it a thousand times, it's just an old manor, or whatever you can call it," Charlotte said.

Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt, and Emma followed. Charlotte opened the door of the car and got out, and Emma followed Charlotte. "This reunion is going to be boring," Charlotte said, she didn't want to be there, "I get it, you don't want to be here." Emma said, Charlotte turned to face Emma, "And I'm guessing you don't either." Charlotte replied, "Yep, I don't." Emma said, she gave a smile to Charlotte. Charlotte then turned to face the manor, "This is such a drag." Charlotte remarked.

"Welcome," a voice came out of nowhere, Emma got startled, and Charlotte stared into the eyes of the tall woman. The woman looked blonde, fair-skinned, and had blue eyes. A man walked and stood right by his wife's side, "That's them?" Emma asked, "Yep that's them." Charlotte sighed, Sophia, came out running. She ran to Charlotte and Emma, Sophia hugged Charlotte, and Sophia squeezed Charlotte into the grip of her hug. "Get off." Charlotte said firmly, Sophia let go of Charlotte.
