Find Me Where the Wild Things Are

Untitled Part 1

"EVA GIVE IT BACK!!!!!" 

"What?"

"I KNOW YOU STOLE IT!" James jumped onto Eva's bed and tackled her, "GIVE IT BACK!"

"I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING, YOU ARROGANT TOE-RAG!"

"YOU CAN'T CALL ME THAT! GIVE IT BACK!"

"I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING!" Eva cried, "GET OFF ME!"

"GIVE IT BACK!"

"FOR THE LAST TIME! I DIDN'T TAKE IT!!!"

"YES YOU DID!! NO ONE ELSE WAS HERE EXCEPT US!!!"

"YOU'RE JUST BEING STUPID!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!!!"

"BUT YOU KNEW IT WOULD MAKE ME MAD!!!"

"EXACTLY WHY I WOULDN'T TAKE--"

"Just what exactly is going on here?"

Both children froze and turned to see their father and mother looking at them sternly.

"Eva stole my picture!"

"No, I didn't! You LOST it! I would never touch that picture. Your saliva is all over it."

"Eva!"

"It's true, he drools over Li--"

"Eva!!!"

"Sorry, mum." No ounce of regret was heard in her voice, though.

Her father sighed, "Eva, do you know where this picture is?"

"No, sir."

"When did you last see it?"

"When James came into my room with it and ranted to me about Lily."

"Which time?"

"Two days ago."

"When did you find out it was missing, James?"

"This morning."

"Innocent until proven guilty, James. How about you check your pockets?"

James' face flushed as he felt the picture in his back pocket.

"Alright, then. You two packed?"

Both children nodded.

"Well then, pop on downstairs, try to eat breakfast without killing each other, and we'll get to the station."

"Yes, mum." They said in unison.

They got halfway down the stairs before Eva said something snarky about James' memory, and by the time they reached the bottom, they were yelling again.

"I AM NOT STUPID!!!"

They boarded the train, after their mother smothered them with hugs and kisses, and James immediately separated from his sister, and strutted off to find his friends.

Eva stood by herself, confused as to where to go. Normally, she would've followed James, and stayed with him, but with his current attitude towards her, she felt like she would be better off without his company.

She looked to the left, and to the right, and decided on right. She skipped all the compartments that were clearly full, and opened the door to a not quite full one.

"Hello."

There were four people already inside, three girls, and a boy. The familiar looking red-headed girl was reading a book, the blonde was playing with a kitten, and the black-haired girl and the boy were talking together quietly. Or, well, that's what they were doing, now they were looking at Eva.
