It was a ordinary morning for the Midfords , the same breakfast , the same faces. Elizabeth was quite tired and no one asked her why she had come home so late, it was already known and it was better nit to talk about that sort of things at the breakfast where everybody should be happy and peaceful. However, Edward was a little bit cranky and he didn't eat anything. peaceful. However, Edward was a little bit cranky and he didn't eat anything. He was worried and had his own hypothesis about what was happening with Elizabeth. Sine he had seen his sister and Ciel Phantomhive so close he started thinking about it. Elizabeth can't afford to be distracted , a wrong step and she could be hurt...or even more. Despite this , only Edward was concerned because his sister was happy , or his was her first apparencce. Beside this Ciel didn't know anything about Elizabeth's works and if he would find out everything would be even more complicated.

'What's up , Ed? You're so concentrated , you didn't eat anything. Is everything alright?' Asked Lizzie.

Edward calmed down when he had heard his little sister's voice.

'I am not hungry.'

Edward gasped , he suddenly had a brilliant idea .

'Elizabeth would you mind coming riding with me today?'

Thanks God . After he had seen me and Ciel ... I thought my beloved brother is mad and hates me but I was wrong. He wants to have some time with me . I didn't lose my brother...and for this ... I am grateful.

'It's a great idea , big brother. I don't want to eat either. I will dress in something else , quickly , very quickly. See you in 10 minutes.'

Elizabeth left and Francis moved her sight on her son. She took a deep breath , she should've been happy-her kids were finally doing something together. In the last month they had had lots of arguments , clamis and blames. For a time she believed that Midford family was slowly falling down. Even Edward's propose should be encouragement she had her doubts. It was her son she was talking about and for Edward , Lizzie was the most important. Francis remembered the day when Edward had seen his little sister for the first time.

I am going to have a little sister. I will be the perfect big brother and protect my sister no matter what will happen. Because I am elder and stronger , the strongest must protect the ones they love.

During nine months, Edward said those words everyday and joy could be seen in his eyes. When Elizabeth came in the masion for the first time Edward was inpatient.

My sister...is an angel. Angels don't make mistakes and they always know what's good amd what's bad. But this angel still neess a bigger brother.

Why? Asked Mrs Midford that day.

Because one day even this angel will lost her way and I will be the flame which will guide her through the darkness.

That words... that Edward. Who has ever thought that a child could see in future and be so wise ?

'Edward is very beautiful from your part to have some time with your little sister. Riding in a very good idea , but please be carul. I do not want any kind of accident or injury. ' tell Francis.

Her son sipped the tea and put the cup on the table. He was really serious and his parents were silence waiting for their son to tell the first word.

'Mom , I'm not going to have fun. I'll give her a lesson. Elizabeth misses something very important and it's the time for her to remember something. Perhaps she'll be mad on me , but I am not anyone , I am her brother. I have my duties as well.

There was no need for other words. Francis understood everything and in her heart felt that the lesson would hurt but some evils are necessary for a person who was no longer with her legs on the ground.

Spirit and Frau was two beautiful horses , Arabian species , bought as presents when the youngest member of the Midford family was 16 years old. Spirit was a vicious horse until Lizzie learned him what was his place. Now , they are friends and in many missions , Spirit had saved her life. No car could be faster than Spirit. His name was a prove : a free spirit , fast and wild as its master. On the other hand , Frau was a wiser horse . Not so stubborn and not so wild , but he had the same speed and devotetness. The horses were walking slowly , lazily we could tell. Meanwhile , Elizabeth was admiring the landscape with the same joy as a little child wondering for every butterfly or birds seen. Edward was sometimes looking at her from the corner of his eye. He was wondering as well how can a person who had seen and done so many whicked things could have such an innocent mind. However , he wasn't there to put nonsense questions , he was there to help his sister in every way he could.

It's the time.

Edward sued Elizabeth moves and reactions and suddenly spurred. Frau started running as fast as it could. Elizabeth blinked being unable to understand the situation. She wanted to yelled , but Edward was too far so she had no choice less then following her brother.

Spirit was running fast , but the advantage of Frau was too big. Lizzy was confused and in a moment she lost Edward.

'Stop! Spirit wait! '

The horse listen to its master and stopped. Lizzy looked around but there was no sign of Edward.

'Wait a second here , Spirit . I must find Edward. ' she said and went to find her brother.

'Edward!' She yelled. No answer. She screamed his name again and again and again.

Something like this had happened in the past , one day she and Edward had wanted to go to see their grandmother. Everybody was busy , so the two children had thought that was better if they had gone at grandmother by themselves . One the way , Elizabeth got lost. She had called Edward but he hadn't answered and she started crying. Elizabeth felt like she was abandoned by everyone. Now , t was te same situation. She got lost once again , Edward was too far from her . She couldn't reach him , Edward was...too far away.

'Please , Edward... come back!' She started crying loudly. 'Don't leave me here...I don't want to be alone. Don't leave me!'

Her heart was painful , she felt lonely. Edward was letting her down and he was her beother. For a while she was feeling she couldn't have trust in anyone. But Edward wasn't anyone.

'I am here Elizabeth!' Said he and showed up. Lizzie was very happy and ran to hug her brother. However , Edward was still serious and didn't mind his sister initiative.

'What did you do? You let my here alone , it's not very nice and kindly uncomfortable. ' reproved Elizabeth.

Edward was tortured by remorse for a few moments , but he had to continue.

'So , you felt bad and you thought I hate you and I let you down? '

Elizabeth was confused.

'Yes , I felt really bad , but now everything is great. Let's go home , it's late!'

Edward laughed.

'You didn't realise , did you? Elizabeth I love you and you'll always be my little sister , but this isn't an excuse. I know you are in a difficult part of your life.'

'EDWARD! ' said Lizzie anxiously. ' We don't need to have this conversation now. And don't worry , I have everything under my control. '

'That's the problem , Lizzy. You've never needed anyone. Even you are a child who hasn't seen the whole world you try to do everything on your own. Guess what my dear sister , you have a family who's waiting for seven years for you to ask for help. I , Mom , Dad , we are all feeling useless in your world. Don't forget , before Elizabeth you are a Midford.'

'Shut up! 'Screamed she. ' Edward if you will be on the edge of a cliff you'll ask me to jump? Of course not , you love me. How can I ask you for help if this mean venturing your life? It would be selfish and I'm not selfish. I love my family more than me.'

Edward mounted on the horseback.

'Lizzy , since have you forgotten what a family is?'

Two hours later , Elizabeth was in her room thinking what had happened between she and Edward. Her brother hadn't addressed any word to her sice they came back.

Edward can't be right. I love my family and I want them to be safe. My life isn't easy... One day Gran asked me to spell Family.

F

A

M

I

L

Y

He told me that family will never let you down and this thing is proved by the spelling. It don't have any sense but zi forgot , my grandfather wanted to be a hero and sacrificed himself. He wasn't the most intelligence person. He was crazy...F.A.M.I.L.Y... there's no secret here.

Elizabeth gasped.

Wait a second! F.A.M.I.L.Y ...I.L.Y . I love you. Elizabeth God is in the family.

Edward was writing something but his mind was in other side of the world. Perhaps he had been to harsh , Elizabeth was still a child so she wanted her life to be as interesting as in the novels she had read.

Someone entered the room , although Edward wasn't turned back he had already known who was there. He was surprised when a mysterious owl necklace fall in front of his eyes. He rose his eyes and saw Elizabeth.

'Ok! This is the only clue I have. I think there's a society which really wants to disturb the things between England and France. I thought this was their symbol but a few days ago I met a guy with the same necklace who had talked really passionately about hoy the owl symbolises the knowledge. So...do you want to help me?' Asked she.

'Elizabeth...' said Edward seriously.

'Don't make me feel even worse. I understood , I was selfish and I have forgotten that I am never alone when my family is near me. Gran told me that family ends in I love you , that means that when we are together we are unstoppable. '

'Wait , Elizabeth. '

'And I know that both of us have seen the future in other forms and shapes and this is not the life we wanted but we will survive. ' interrupted Elizabeth.

'Lizzy! ' scremed Edward. 'I've seen this necklace before.'

'And I never say you can't help me but... Wait... WHAT?'

Too short...I know. Sorry. School is one of the culprits. I promise that next one will be better.
