Inwhich the work of her parents weren't as succesful as everyone hoped.

This is, Alone
They stood on top of the hill for a minute in complete silence. Nefertiti at first contemplated asking Shane why he brought her up here, but decided on not. It was quite calm.
Nefertiti soaked in the scene in front of her. It was beautiful. It was dark and grassy. There was a road. There were snakes in the grass, and the sky was blood red and the road had suspicious bags the size of body's on it. And there is a dragon right next to her, by the tree. But, still. It was barely anything. She wondered if he-not Shane he-thought it was nice too. She made sure not to put the thoughts to words. In her mind, she means. If he had heard her, he didn't make a sign.
"Dammit, Neffy, I brought you up here so I could see you shriek like a little girl. Don't you see the dragon?" Nefertiti stared at her friend. He thought you'd be scared. She raised her eyebrows.
"Dragon...Oh, right. Nah. Already saw it." That explains it. I was wondering if you grew soft, the dragon wasn't doing anything.
I wanted to see what the boy was going to do. Pathetic. A dragon is nothing.
Nefertiti laughed when Shane told her how dumb his idea was, wishing his eyes hadn't melted out of their sockets. She loves looking at them and wondering what colors they were.
"But still, how could you not be scared of a dragon?" He asked her.
Nefertiti rolled her eyes. "Please. I'm a Kane. I've seen worse things than a dragon for ages."
Especially since I was ten, she added to herself.
Thank you. But you shouldn't lie. Your parents never let you do anything.
"Hey, let's go. Kay? I'm cold."
Shane frowned. "Kay. Where?"
"Uh… I dunno. I don't really feel like the campfire or anything, lets just go to your cabin."
Shane hesitated before agreeing and challenging Nefertiti to a race to his cabin.
She forced a laugh and started running, making herself grin the whole way. She ignored how she felt, knowing that Shane wants to hang out with her and just her. It was enough to have her heart jump and her grin almost be real. It'll just be them two.
No. It'll be us three.
Her grin disappeared and she slowed down. She told a questioning Shane she was going to go to bed instead.
The whole way there, she went through her memories. Of the days years ago that she'd sit in her room wishing her parents were home, or when her friends had left to visit family and she was alone. She hated being all alone, and would miss her friends and family to bits.
Gods. All I want is to be alone.
She could hear the god of Chaos snickering. Her old memories being swarmed with horrible visions.
If y'all are wondering, Nefertiti is Carter and Zia's daughter and Shane is Jason and Pipers.
