"Hazel, what is going on? Is everything all right?" Raven asked half concerned, half annoyed.

At the same time, Skie started complaining. "Why would you bring her here? She's not going to help anything?"

"Calm down, both of you. Skylar, no complaining just yet. Rave, sit down. I need to explain some things."

Raven sat down on the couch. Skie groaned and moved away from her sister. Both looked at Hazel.

"Alright. Now, Raven, there has been a bit of trouble involving Skie."

Raven cut in. "What did you do?" She glared at her sister.

"I'm getting to that. May I continue?" Raven rolled her eyes. "Thanks. Anyway, before you get any more agitated, she was provoked."

"Let me guess, Madi?"

Hazel nodded.

"I'm gonna kill that bitch."

Hazel rolled her eyes. "Again, I'm getting to that. Now, Skie pushed Madi away from her, causing her to fall down. Mrs. Daniels appeared on scene, causing Skie to have a mild panic attack. I was called and sent after her, walking in on the effects of said panic attack. This is where we come to the main point."

Raven glared. "Fighting again?"

Skie glared right back. "Self defense."

"Tell that to Dad."

"Do I need to separate you two more than you have already separated yourselves?" Hazel sounded mildly annoyed.

"Sorry." Skie muttered. Raven just rolled her eyes again.

"Right. Main point. When I got to Skie, she was expressing her views on Maddison to Danielle, in, shall we say, rather unfit language for an eleven year old?"

Raven glared at Skie, who looked away.

"I would hazard to say that it was language unfit even for, well, a teenager."

"Skylar."

Skie glared and jumped up, stomping her foot. "This is so stupid! You use worse language all the time, Raven. In fact, I learned it from you! And I don't care if I'm in trouble! I wish...I wish you got in trouble too! I wish you got it just as bad as I'm about to! I'd watch and I'd enjoy it!"

Hazel smirked to herself. Just you wait. Noticing that Raven looked about ready to kill her little sister, she decided to step back and intervene. "Now, I think we all need time to calm down. Raven, go." She pointed at the side room.

Raven glared and moved to go. "This conversation is not over!" She slammed the door.

Hazel outwardly smirked. "No, it certainly isn't."

Skie flopped back on the couch and glared. "Are you trying to torture me?"

"Certainly not. She's mad because she knows that you're right, that I'm evil, and that I just might think about it."

Skie looked confused. "What?"

"You will see. However, I think it would be best if we took care of your punishment now, while she is calming herself."

Skie sighed. "This is so unfair. How come she gets away with everything."

Hazel shrugged. "Who knows when the winds may change? As for now, let us get this over with. Stand up."

Skie sighed again but stood up. Hazel went over to a drawer and pulled out a large wooden hairbrush. She then returned to the couch and sat down.

"Come here."
