Fnia TFS: Blaze

4: A New Start (short)

Evan POV: (about a month [giveortake] from the massacre)

"And done" I said with a satisfying grunt whilst giving the last swing of a hammer to a nail. For about three weeks the nightmares and I had been rebuilding my family's old farmhouse, with some help from willow, Henry, and ballora of course.
From my grandparents, to my mother, and now to me...
I gave a sigh as I took a few steps back from the wall, and then turned to look at ballora who was also here because I'll be damned if I'm going to not let her get to see this moment, it had in fact been her home before she became ballora.

"I never actually thought I'd see it in this good of a condition ever again"
My moth- er- ballora, had said.
"And here comes the memories"

I hugged her in that way you would when next to someone that the author is too stupid to figure out.

*hruh hhemm, take two*

I stood next to ballora and smiled with a hint of pride. "So, should we go inside?" I asked, everyone gave they're own form of a yes and we walked inside...oh yeah I forgot to mention, EVERYONE was here, willow, Henry, the girls, ballora, the nightmares...even willow's brother/my old employer fritz was here.

"Wow, it's kinda nice to get to see a place you got to grow up in Evan...even if, well, you know."
Bonnie stated, a few bad memories popped up in my head, but went away quickly. "Sorry." Bonnie's face looked sad a bit...which in all honesty, kinda made her cuter, but don't tell her I said so.

"It's alright, it is kinda nice to be here again...if only things turned out a little differently though." I said, then chuckled "you know...as much as it sucked and might currently sound wrong, I'm kinda glad things turned out to how they are now... don't get me wrong, what my father did was wrong...but..." I trailed off, everyone was staring, which was a bad sign I presumed..."Yeah shutting up now."

But everyone kept staring, and after a few seconds I realized, they weren't staring at me, but more at something... behind me?.
Footsteps sounded behind me, and then a hand on my shoulder...which made me turn to look up.

And then my face turned a parade of emotions from confusion...to realization at who I now recognized...
"Hello Evan" a voice I knew clearly said to me. "It's been awhile."

(So this is a short one, but there will be another out this week to make up for one: how short this is. And two: how late it is, anyway I'm gonna go and let you peeps do your own thing while hopefully having a good day/night/wheneveritisforyou)
