Carmen was scowling at her sister.
'I don't want to talk to you.' She just growled.
Lyra sighed. 'Look- why do you hate me so much?' Carmen laughed.
'Oh! You only killed my mom!'
Lyra groaned. 'Look- I didn't! It wasn't me! It was Samyaza!' Carmen sneered.
'Yeah... I believe you (!)'
Lyra sighed. 'Look sister- I'm more sorry than you will ever believe...' Carmen looked up to see tears in her younger sisters chocolate brown eyes.
'But you still did It all...' she whispered, tears forming in her own. Lyra sniffed, then, without warning, threw her arms around her older sibling.
'I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!' she sobbed into her shoulder. Carmen just stood there... then put her arms around the girls shoulders.
'I'm sorry for the way I've been acting too...' she said quietly into Lyra's hair.
Gabriel sighed, sitting next to Sarah on the garden bench.
'You think they're gonna fight?' she sighed. Gabriel looked at her, eyes morose. 'I certainly hope not.'
Sarah sighed and put her head on his shoulder. 'I'm sorry.'
Gabriel frowned and looked at her. 'What the heck for?' Sarah shrugged. 'Making you think I didn't love you anymore.' Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
'And do you?'
Sarah laughed. 'Of course I do idiot!' Gabriel grinned. 'Well... that's a load of my mind (!)' Sarah rolled her eyes.
Boy did they bicker like an old married couple sometimes.
Jasper was sat next to Bianca on the hill.
'Family eh?' he just said with a laugh. Bianca laughed too.
'Agreed.' She looked sad. Jasper frowned, then realized.
'You miss your dad?'
Bianca nodded, and then sighed. 'Mom too... she died a few years ago.' She shrugged. 'Heart attack out of the blue.'
Jasper groaned. 'Sorry.' Bianca laughed slightly. 'Ah don't worry about it- Its been years now...' she looked sad again. 'Both of them...'
He put an arm around her shoulder. 'Hey- look at the bright side; you've got us?' Bianca smiled.
'Thank you- you're a nice guy.' She laughed. Jasper laughed now. 'It's not often someone says that to me!' Bianca frowned. 'Why?'
Jasper shrugged. 'Let's just say I'm a lot like my daddy.'
Bianca laughed and shook her head. 'Oh- now I understand!'
Jasper chuckled, and then asked. 'Are you sticking around for Christmas? Knowing the family... its gonna be epic.'
Bianca sighed, and then smiled.
'Sure.'
Carmen and Lyra went out into the garden to try and find where the others had vanished to- well, here was two of them.
'Eurgh! Get a room!' Carmen scowled at Gabriel and Sarah.
Gabriel smirked. 'Can we really-?' Lyra sighed and rolled her eyes; it was so typical Gabriel.
He smirked again and stood up. ' Are you girls finally talking again?'
Lyra sighed, and Carmen nodded.
Gabriel grinned. 'Finally!' the girls rolled their eyes.
Yet again, typical.
Once everyone had arrived back in the house, the little Christmas Eve "party" began...
But the night was just beginning... a storm was brewing...
