What Happens Next

Family

Holy shit. Mrs. Kylith, you scared the living daylights out of me.

Nice to see you too, Fernanda, and how many times do I need to tell you that you can call me Serena now?

Sorry, Serena, nice to see you too. Serena got up and walked over to hug Fernanda. From the stories of Serena, the town has heard, made up, or know for a fact are true, were put behind Fernanda, when she first met her.

~Flashback

It had been one year since they beat Leopold and moved into the mansion. Fernanda quit from being a teacher and got job as a police officer about two months ago, and is now happy as ever. Fernanda was on her way home, when she got a text from Elle.

Elle: Get home now.

Fernanda: Uh oh. What did I do now?

Elle: Nothing just get home.

Fernanda walked into the house.

Elle?

Wow, you got here quick.

Well you did tell me to hurry up. And I was already on my way home. Why does it smell like an Italian restaurant in here?

Oh...

Whats on your mind? You only cook like this when youre worried.

Its my parents anniversary, and every year I have gone there

So what are you so nervous about?

Its my first time seeing them since the Toby thing, and I havent told them yet.

Oh

Yea, oh. But thats not all. My mother is the one who set us up.

You have got to be kidding me.

Nope. I dont know what to do.

Ill go with you.

What?

Come on. It be fun; Ill be able to meet the famous Mills family that I hear so much about. And if times get rough then I will be there for you.

Elle calmed down so much you could see it in her eyes, Thank you.

When are we leaving?

We are leaving tomorrow, we are staying a week.

Ok, well I am going to pack, and you are going to pack some of that food up, so we can give some to our neighbors, and parents. Ok?

Ok. Elle smiled and gave one last hug to Fernanda. Fernanda hugged her back instantly, and kissed the crown of her head. She left Regina for the kitchen stuff and packed for the week to come.

It was Friday, and they were almost at Serenas mansion. They were driving up Sugar Hill road and Fernanda was looking through the window at the forest rushing by. When they arrived Frenda kept her head down.

Fernanda, and Elle walked up to her parents and sister. Daddy, Mother, Endra, this is

Endra Jay Elenor? Fernanda asked interrupting Elle.

How do you know my maiden name?

My name is Fernanda, Fernanda Seren. Fernanda finally picked her head up.

Flash?!

Hey. Fernanda hugged her tight. Then pushed away. Wait I am supposed to be mad at you. She pushed her away with such force she fell. How could you leave me like that? You knew what I was going through, yet you still left me. You left me like everyone else did. Like I was a doll you lost interest in, and threw away. You left me on the side of the road, because the bigger kids had a better chance in getting away. You raised me until fifth grade, right after Lona left me, then you left? I think that was worse than finding out I was left on the side of the road, by the forest, at least Kendall was kind enough to bring me to shelter. You were my big sister, like mother figure. You taught me to walk, talk and read. You taught me how to put on clothes correctly. Then you left me. Someone found me, and brought me back to Mrs. Jayden. And guess where she put me?! Fernanda stopped and looked at her. Endra looked down with tears in her eyes No, really guess.
