Secrets and Lies

My Family

Fawn's POV
"So you finally called up dad and they're call coming to visit us for the whole summer?! Cool!" I say to mom at breakfast.

"Yeah. But remeber, they don't know you exist, so I want to surprise them. Don't worry. Your brother and other boy cousin will stay together while your girl cousin will stay in her own room and I guess I will share a room with your father." Mom says, staring out the window. Suddenly, two cars start coming up the driveway.

"Show time. Remeber, I want you to ride Star in the ring on the left side of the driveway. Ride bareback if you want, but stay safe." Mom says and walks over to the front door. I run out the back door and whistle for Star. He comes running up to me and I hop into him bareback and without a saddle. I carefully walk him to the trees right before the front of the house. I see my mom with five adults and three kids: two boys and a girl.

"Come on Star. Let's show 'um what we can do." I whisper to my horse and we set off at a canter. I give a whoop and we easily hop over the fence and into the ring. I make sure all eyes are on us before I usher Star into a gallop. Then, I easily stand up on his back while he is at a Gallop and then slide back into a sitting position and we pop over a few jumps before hopping over the fence we came over. I hop off of Star and feed him an apple from a nearby apple tree before he trots off. I brush the little bit of hair and dirt off me and walk around to the back of the house. I know that mom was a girly girl before she left, but she's far from one now. I have on a pair of dark skinny jeans on with black ankle boots and a purple tank top with a cropped black leather jacket with sleeves that end at my elbows.

"So now that you're here, we can start filling in the twelve year gap. Let's go out onto the patio. The kids can play around while we talk." I hear mom say. Then I hear the kitchen door open and I catch a good look at the man who is next to my mom. He has darker orange- redish hair and red eyes. He has a red t-shirt and black jeans with black sneakers.

"Umm. Miss. There's kinda a beast..." A girls voice says. She has a light blue dress and white shoes and long blonde hair that reached her mid back. I see Star is nosing his way through the grass. Great. My stupid horse thought it would be a great idea to jump the back fence.

"Uggggh. FAWN!" I hear my mom's call and cautiously walk through the side gate. She gestures to my beautiful beast and I can tell she's trying hard not to laugh as the blonde girl around my age is cowering behind a woman who is probably her mother. I shoot mom a "are you serious. I'm related to her" look and that causes mom to start laughing. I chuckle and that gets me a glare from the girl and the two guys that look my age.

"Well... Uh... Why are you laughing at my daughter." The blond's mother asks mom, kind of fiercely.

"Fawn. Please explain to your horse that the backyard is off limits." Mom says as she tries to collect herself. I walk over and hop onto Star and easily steer him over to the gate. I jump down, open the gate, and slap his rear, sending him galloping away to join the herd of our farm.

"Anyway. Your probably wondering who this is."Mom says, gesturing to me as I walk up beside her. All eight nod. "This is Fawn. I didn't just have a son, I also had a daughter." Mom says and I smirk when everyone stares at me. The orange haired man looks from Mom to me and to the boy with orange hair with slightly darker streaks. The blonde woman passed out and the raven haired woman has no expression. The other two males are trying to calm down the orange haired one.

"Oh. We should carry Bubbles inside." The blonde man says and picks up the woman I assume is his wife. So they must be Uncle Boomer and Aunt Bubbles.

"Let's get you all settled." Mom says and takes them to their rooms. Uncle Boomer and his daughter stay with Aunt bubbles while the rest come with us to the family room wich holds our large flat screen.

"Where's the remote? I wanna see how good this TV is." Uncle Butch says excitedly.

"Status:On" I say into the ring on my finger. The TV is a magic TV, set to my command.

"Woah." The three adults and two boys say as the TV turns on.
"And now, here's our winner from last year's charity talent show. You know her. You love her. You can't beat her. Here is some clips from last year's competion. Right after the break." The TV announcer says.
