Chapter 50: Grandma's House

Morgan's POV

My eyes filled with tears as my aunt pulled me closer. "She died for me?" I asked.

"It was the only way to let you grow up. I remember looking at your pre-Mephisto body. You were so small. You couldn't live your life in the hospital only to die a month later."

"Ok? How does that help? It doesn't. Did you see the look on his face." I got up and tapped the screen. "He's depressed. He's miserable. He's devastated and it was all my fault."

"But did you see the way he looked at you? He smiled immediately. He doesn't blame you for any of this. He even said it." My aunt snapped. "Morgan your parents loved you. They sacrificed themselves for you."

I sat back down and curled him away from my Aunt. I missed my dad. But I miss my family, my mother is gone as well as my father.

"Come here." My aunt said pulling me towards her again. She lifted and put me on her lap. I hugged her waist.

"Can we just go home..." I mumbled.

"Do you want to take anything from here?" My aunt asked.

I ran upstairs to pull blankets off my bed, to take stuffed animals, pictures, my dad's old sweaters and tee-shirts. Riley looked at the handful of stuff I had. She smiled "I'll rent a moving truck later" she helped me put down the stuff.

Aunt Riley opened the door of her house to find the males absent. She started to call for my uncle and cousins. My uncle came from the basement and immediately swept me off my feet. "My darling niece." He gave me a bear hug and I squirmed to get out.

"Even though I heard so much about her... Is there anyone that was really close to her? What about my grandma?" I asked.

My aunt and uncle exchanged concerning glances. "No." They both said.

I widened my eyes in surprise then showed my visible anger. "Why not? No one talks about her. I want to see her."

"Morgan. I was under strict rule by both of your parents to never let you see her. The only rule Marcus gave me." My aunt folded her arms. I opened my mouth to protest. "That's final. You aren't going whether you like it or not."

I narrowed my eyes. "You are not my mother." I snarled through my teeth stomping upstairs.

"If I catch you out of the house anytime tonight, trust me little girl. You'll WISH you still had the ability to stomp." She snapped.

It's funny how she thought she is going to stop me from leaving when I have the best cousins in the world.

I eyed the twins constantly during dinner. Russell caught on quickly but Reed was the more dense one of the two so it took him a minute. I looked at my Uncle. "May I be excused?" I smiled.

"Of course honey." He said trying not to look at his wife.

I smiled and put away my dishes. I shot the boys one more look and went into my room. Shortly after I was met by the twins. They were mini versions of my uncle with maybe a few features of their mother.

"What do you want?" Russell folded his arms.

"I need to go to my.... friends house. I need a diversion."

"We could put the house on lockdown and accidentally break the control panel. It takes them a while to figure out which cable goes where." Reed mumbled.

"Thats too ultimate. If we do that too many times. They will fix the control panel in no time."

"But you can do it right? After I leave." I smiled.
