The Girl With No Name (VERY SLOW UPDATES)

Look at Me!

Neva waited for her mother to look up, she waited for her mother to care, but her mom was too busy glaring daggers at Xander! Neva was getting a little annoyed, and after she had finally had enough, she screamed. "Gosh Mom, you care more about this petty rivalry than your own children, isn't that right?" Alpha's head snapped up at the stinging comment, and she looked at her daughter straight in the eyes, her own eyes were filled with anger and contempt. "He needs to pay for all that he has done to us!" Neva frowned at the way her mother was letting her personality be transformed by this traitor.

Neva walked over to her mother slowly, her hand outstretched, her mind flooded with worry about her mother's temper and what she was planning to do to Xander. Sure, Xander wasn't Neva's favorite person in the world, but that didn't mean he needed her mother to go all stone cold assassin on him. Neva began to calm down as her mother leaned towards her touch. Neva could feel Alpha calming down, abd she relaxd significantly. Her mother was still in control, and Neva thanked her lucky stars that MG had not yet taken the reigns.

They sat there for awhile, nobody said anything, the silence was so thick that you could hear a pin drop. Neva understood her mother, she understood the animosity that she felt towards Xander. Neva herself harbored some anger towards him, but she refused to allow her morals to be warped by a worthless traitor. Neva withdrew her hand from her mother's shoulder and sighed. That was one of many crises averted.

1 hour later.........

Neva did not understand how they all came to be sitting around the table eating bacon, but here they were. It was a bit like a standoff, like the ones that sheriff's would have with outlaws. Both were waiting for the others to make the first move.

She dreaded the moment that came next. Xander  stood up on his feet and sighed, saying that he was going to excuse himself and his son, emitting a growl from Alpha. Jace chuckled and Neva grimaced, really? He was going to laugh at his father's misfortune? He had just been reunited with the woman that had once loved him, and now his son was laughing at him too? Neva couldn't help the pang of pity that ran through her at that moment and she sighed. Looking over at Alpha, Neva saw the wheels in her mom's head turning, and she noticed the change when a smile spread onto her mother's face. "How about you stay for a while Xander, and tell us about your family? What did you do while we fought to survive?" Alpha's sickly sweet voice made Neva cringe, and Xander was about to respond when Nova walked in.

"Neva!!!! Kai stole my food!!!" Kai trailed behind Nova, whining, "What was I supposed to do? There was perfectly good bacon,  just screaming for someone to eat it! It isn't my fault that you left the bacon sitting there all alone!

"I was in the bathroom!"

"That is no excuse for neglect Nova!"

"You know wha-"

"Guys", Neva hissed at the bickering sisters, "shut up!"

"But Mom!!" The sisters taunted,  and Neva was positive that Jace's eyes had momentarily gone black. She shook the thought away quickly and frowned.  "I am only 2 (according to humans)  years older than you!"

"Lies!" The girls sang in unison and Neva groaned.

"Can't you just settle this like you normally do?" Neva pulled at her hair trying to retain any strand of sanity she still possessed. Realizing that she shouldn't have said anything,  Neva winced.  The sisters looked at eachother in their secretive and mischevious manner, finally voicing their thoughts, the girls shouted, "21!" And fled from the room to the park to play basketball.

Finally in peace,  the room melted back into silence,  ending with Xander walking out,  Jace trailing behind,  glancing back at Neva,  he flashed a tentative smile, "See you at school?"

He left without her answer.

Hey y'all!
I am SO sorry for the wait and the crappy update,  it is hard to continue this when my style has evolved so much.  I will most likely be publishing some fillers while I work on the important chapter. Thanks for those who are bearing with me!
