Family Matters

2

Raven was asleep in her bed after a sound of scratching can be heard her door along with giggling. She yawned getting out of her bed to open her door find Pubert acting happy to see her having het pick him up. Bang! Raven turned from the bullet hole where Pubert was to Drystan holding a pistol closing his door. "They'll learn to love like do." Said Raven seeing Pubert cooing. She walked to the nursery seeing Morticia and Grandmama standing near the crib with a chew hole at the bottom. "Heres your Lil Devil." Said Raven handing Pubert to Morticia. "I thought the children would go after him." Said Morticia taking him. "Drystan fired a shot at him but missed after i picked him up." Said Raven. "Jealously is a poison." Said Grandmama. "When it comes to Drystan. Yes. An extremely dangerous one." Said Raven. "Im going out to get some things. Do i need to pick up anything?" She asked. "No but seems like the color of your hair is starting to fade." Said Morticia seeing a bit of her honey blonde roots barely peeking. "Which is why im choosing to redye it." Said Raven. "I get mistaken as a twin with my sister." She says shuddering in disgust. Raven goes to her room to grab her beanie taking her purse turned and scream as Drystan stood in front of her. She didnt say anything getting of the house going to her bike but stopped when a knife was thrown close to her hitting two of her tires. "Drystan!" Raven yelled turning around looking to see him holding another knife twirling around slowly kin his hands before going to his car picking the lock and turned it on by hot wiring it driving out knowing this would make him mad for leaving without him i his car. Since they were together for almost a year Drystan has insisted on going to places with for their dates or her doing errands with him driving her. Raven told many times that she can just drive his car while he does his chores around the house but he refuses believing that someone will hit on her or worse like what happened to her with her parents and her sister. She went to the center fo town pulling into parking spot to the shop that she goes too many times walking inside. "Hi Raven. What can i get you?"s aid the man walking around the counter smiling to see her. "Where's your rabid guard dog?" said the man looking around. "Killing his baby brother like Wednesday and Pugsley. Jealousy." said Raven walking to the fabric aisle. She looked and the texture of each of the fabric that catches her eye when feeling the sense like someone was watching her.

Slowly side glancing to see a in the donation section quickly looking away turning to see the magazines before Raven went back to choosing her fabric to take home. "What are you looking for?" said the man. "The usual something in dark colors." said Rvane when they both heard a loud crash to the boy on top of the mannequin that was in pieces but wasnt broken. "Im sorry. It was a total accident. let put back where he was." said the boy picking up the legs only to have the stand to drop. "Here let me." said Raven helping him put the mannequin back together without a problem. "You really know how to do this huh?" said the boy. This isnt the first time someone did something like this. Im Raven." said Raven looking at him. "Michael or Mike. I just came into town with my mom." said Michael. "Welcome." said Raven. "Thanks. I'm still kind of lost here. You mind showing me around." said Mike. "I would say yes but no." said Raven. "Busy or do you have a boyfriend?" said Mike. "Both and my boyfriend wont hesitate to commit an actual murder." said Raven. "Excuse me? This some kind of joke." said Mike. "No. Her boyfriend is Drystan Addams. Very dangerous and incredibly horrifying like his family." said the man. "My words exactly." said Raven then walked away. "Wait a minute. He doesnt mind if i just hanged out with you. Ahhhh!" said Mike before seeing a snake appear on Ravens shoulder. "Its Drystan's pet and has another one-way bigger named Dehlia. We even have two black cats Diablo and Lilith. One has fangs and other with one eye." said Raven petting Lucifer. "Okay then i guess i better get going before i get a bite." said Mike as Lucifer hissed at him. Raven turned Lucifer head to her kissing his snout walking to the car knowing that Lucifer didnt get out in the car on his own going home with him. She pulled in hearing a chainsaw somewhere in the house and crashes. "How can you miss him?" said Wednesday. "Shut up. I know what im doing?!" said Drystan. "Pugsley! i got him." said Drystan. Raven walked out of the car going to the house hearing the sound of glass breaking looking to see Pubert coming down having her run in time to catch him. She blew out a breath of relief hearing Pubert cooing touching her hair and started petting Lucifer. "Drystan! Wednesday! Pugsley! My room. Now." said Raven going inside the house.

After an hour of trying to lecture those three over their attempts of killing Pubert but they keep making excuses saying they were having fun being around him. It was now Drystan and Raven alone with Lucifer slither to his master who looked at her carefully. "Who is he?!" said Drystan angrily. "No one and nothing happened when Lucifer showed on my shoulder which i know you out in the car on purpose." siad Raven. "Obviously. Did he die?" said Drystan. "NO!" said Raven. "Have i not given you fresh rats?" said Drystan looking at lucifer. ""Di need to barricade my door, window, and trap door?" said Raven. "You wouldnt dare." said Drystan. "I done it before when i was doing tutoring." said Raven hearing a knock. "What is going on here Death birds?" said Gomez after opening the door. "Someone let their snake into his car before i pick the lock and scared off a new boy who was talking to me at the shop." said Raven. "Talking sure?" said Drystan. "Drystan. Come." said Gomez. Drystan got up from Ravens bed following him with Raven slamming her door and moved her dresser. Raven went to her desk to stop hearing a monstrous meows turning to unblock her door letting Diablo and Lilith in her room jump on her bed getting comfortable. She went on her desk pulling out a voodoo like doll that was barely finished dressing it with the clothes she made wearing a weathered out red suit and pants with his head somewhat attached by a string. Drystan stopped in his Fathers office having a seat looking at him sitting across from him looking at him in slight disappointment. "Why must you make Ravens life difficult? We all know you both are meant to be ike me and your mother. What is the issue?" said Gomez. "Im not going to lose her to someone else. I was only making it clear to her and the idiots out there who think of having a chance with being anywhere close to her." said Drystan. "She not that kind of girl to just throw aside like a fresh dead body. Theres more isnt it." said Gomez looking at him. "I want to make it official, but we are still young." said Drystan looking nervous. "Why didnt you tell me? I wouldve approved of this." sad Gomez getting up from his chair. "I was thinking just you when i was your age. Dont hold back, my Vulture. She cant wait forever." said Gomez standing in front of him. "Which one should grab it from?" said Drystan as Gomez smiled proudly at him. His smile then dropped hearing crashes and explosions through the house knowing Wednesday and Pugsley was after Pubert again looking at Drystan who was already gone.
