I grab my duffel bag and step down from the public bus. I take a deep breath and prepare myself for Aunt Nina. Since before my parents death, I have been living in Washington D.C. with my little sister, Abigail, and brother, Aaron. As they walk side by side, I glance down at their gloomy, depressed faces.
"Cheer up guys. It'll get better, I promise." I say with a fake smile that doesn't reach my eyes. They solemnly nod and stop at the red door. I knock softly, and hear a shriek from inside. The door flies open and reveals a dirty blonde, blue eyed woman with a messy apron on.
"Hello? Are you Aunt Nina?" I asked not quite sure this is the right aunt I remembered. Suddenly, she spread her arms open and engulfed me in a hug. "Luci!!!!! How I've missed you!" She shouted as she squeezed the life out of me. I managed a small weak pat on the back. When she let me go I took a long deep breath, and almost choked. I then stood up straight and introduced my smaller siblings.
"Aunt Nina, this is Abigail and Aaron. Their -" I got cut off by her hugged them too and screaming "Their twins!! So cute!!!!" I chuckled awkwardly.
My aunt Nina was 38, but she looked no older than 25. She had her face and body well kept by excersizing and eating well.
"Well, come inside then children. I wouldn't want you catching a cold, now." She ushered us into the cozy house. Two small dogs attacked Abigail and Aaron in licks. The twins were giggling and enjoying their time with the pups.
"I got them both for you! The girl belongs to Abigail, and the boy belongs to Aaron. You'll have to have them of course." Nina announced with a wide smile on her face. The twins looked at each other and traded dogs. "Anna!" Abigail exclaimed. "Luke!" They were both giddy and began playing with the dogs in the middle of the den.
"Lucielle... I know how bad you felt about your parents. And I know you love cats so..." She trailed off, a snow white cat appearing in her arms. "Wow... S-She's beautiful..." I commented and took her in my arms stroking her soft fluffy fur. "Thanks Aunt Nina." She just nodded her head and clapped her hands. "Let me show you guys to your rooms. There up stairs." She began walking up and we followed.
Taking a right, down the hall was a half pink, half blue door. "In this room both of you will be staying. I suppose, when you're older, you can both get seperate rooms. But until then, you'll be sharing. Is that alright?" She said a hint of nervousness barely audible in her voice, as if she wasn't sure they would want to share a room.
They both nodded excitedly and opened the door. Aunt Nina released a breath, and led me to my room which was at the end of the hall. "Here you are. By the way I own a bakery down the street to your high school, if you would like you could work there. Just come by anytime you want." I nodded and she smiled as she closed the door leaving me alone with my cat in my room.
I took in the room along with its furniture. The carpet was white, and the walls were a light violet. The bed was queen sized covered in a soft purple duvet, and matching pillows. There was a desk with a laptop and some books in the corner. And near my bed was a cat play ground thingy, which I suppose is for the cat.
Talking about the cat, I looked at it purring in my arms. "What should we name you little one?" I asked her as I lifted her up into the air. She meowed and I laughed. "How 'bout... Snowball?" As if to say yes she purred into my cheek. I giggled and continued scratching Behind her ears.
It was getting late as I finished organizing my closet and drawers, so I decided to take a shower. I stepped into the shower and just stood under the warm water. When I was finished I walked to my room in a towel and got dressed in my PJ's.
I covered the duvet over my body and went to sleep immediately.
