The Inside Story

Sibling Quarrels

Carmine gulped before she swiftly stood.
"Hi uh Red." She whispered nervously.
"Wow Red who would've thought that Carmine was your sister." Henry exclaimed happily.
"Um half sister actually and thanks but I'm going to say hi to Granny then Robin then I'm gone." Carmine told her sister bluntly.

"Uh like heck you're , if you think I'm going to let you run off by yourself then you're sadly mistaken." Red spat and Carmine put her hands on her hips.
"This isn't your problem so but out Red!" She hissed and Red scowled.

"It is my problem because your my sister!" Red yelled and before Carmine could counter back Emma grabbed her arm and gently led her to the kitchen.
"Carmine you can't fight back because family is annoyingly overbearing,and they tend to always win the fight anyway because there's more of them." Emma told her.

"Oh and what do you suggest I do?" Carmine asked arms folded in a huff.
"You pretend to agree with them then do it anyway." Emma explained making Carmine laugh loudly.
"Oh Emma you're so crazy!" She whispered shaking her head.

At that moment the door opened and Granny, Robin and Regina rushed into the room.
"I knew you were her,I just knew it." Granny exclaimed and Carmine smiled and Granny then wrapped her in a tight bearhug.

Robin then slowly stepped forward looking nervous.
"So it's true you're my daughter?" He asked and Carmine broke out of Granny's hug and nodded.

"Yes I am." She whispered, looking down.
"Okay Carmine you said hi are you going to leave still?" Red asked bitterly making Carmine cringe.
"Oh wow thanks for ruining the moment. And yes I am, you can't stop me!!" She hissed and she turned to go,but Robin grabbed her arm.

"Whoah there ,you can't leave Carmine." Robin whispered then Granny slamed the door.
Carmine looked to Emma who mouthed the words
"Out numbered play along."

Sighing heavily she walked past them and looked only at Snow.
"May I use your bathroom ,Emma's mother." You could tell she was trying to hold her temper in so Snow just nodded quickly.

~~~~~~10minutes later~~~~~~

"She's been in there for ten minutes, what could she possiblely be doing?" Red asked angrily.

"No offense Red, Granny, Robin,Regina,mom,dad,but um for a foster kid that's the oldest trick in the book." Emma explained making them all stare at her confused, well save Regina.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked.

"I mean she slipped out the window and probably took my advice." Emma told them and this got Snow and David's attention.
"Oh what was your advice Emma?" Snow asked and Emma cringed.
"Does it really matter ?" She asked trying to get up but Snow pushed her back down.
"I think it does now talk!" Snow comanded firmly.

"Alright I may have told her that family outnumbers you so just pretend to go with what they say then do it anyway." Emma mumbled.
"Emma Ruth I am surprised at you!" Snow hissed then someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it!" Henry offered." Carmine you look awful what happened?" Henry asked taking a step back.
"They're here, they blew up my motorcycle and I had just enough time to move." Carmine explained to him.

"Carmine get in here now!" Granny comanded and she sat her on the couch.
"Tell us who's here." Red commanded.
"No." Carmine whispered.
" I wasn't asking ! Now start talking."
"Fine it's the big bad wolf and Madame Medusa."
