(Ria's POV)
When I saw Mum pale at the sight of the guy that Kane called his father, I wondered why.
Mum was never afraid of anyone. She was a toughie. She had four kids. She had to be.
There was me, Ria, aged eleven, and in the sixth grade at the local school, my sister, Fortuna, who was nine and in the fourth grade and my twin brothers, Brodie and Todd, who were seven and in the second grade. God knew they were terrors. But They are my family.
"Damon Darksheild." stammered my mother slightly. "Nice to see you again." she gripped my hand a little to tight.
"Ow! Mum!" I said. The man named Damon nodded slightly.
"Nice to see you too, Jamie. How have you been?"
"Fine, thankyou. How is Emma?"
"Great. SHe's great. Well, good bye."
"Good bye, Damon. Good bye Benny. Come on Ria, let's go home. Your father will be wondering where we got to."
SO I had to follow my mother briskly. I looked back and waved to Kane. He waved back.
***
WHen we got home, mum went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. I was startled. Mum only drank coffee when she was worried about something. I sat opposite her at the table.
"Mum, who was that guy?"
My mother sighed. "You remember how I told you about your Godmother, Emma SIlverblade?"
"Yeah?"
"And how I told you about the terrible wedding and how your uncle Boromir got really upset."
"Yeah. Don't tell me that guy was the one that Aunty Emma liked all along?"
"Yes, that was him. And Kane is her son, I was hoping you two would grow up together. But I was wrong." My mother got up and limped over to the bookshelf. She pulled down a photo album and showed me pictures of when she was at high school with Aunty EMma and Uncle Boromir. SHe sighed. "I never did like Damon. But it was EMma's choice."
My mother got up again and limped her way upstairs. She was going to go have a shower, I knew that. Her leg was permernantly bruised from a kick that Emma had given her that last day. Sometimes it troubled her, but at other times, she was as right as rain.
***
THat night, around the dinner table, Dad told us about the things he and great uncle Bilbo had been up to that day. Todd and Brodie stuffed peas up their nose and got told off. Fortuna kicked me under the table. Mum was tired, but she looked fine. I knew she had been thinking about Emma again. THere was a knock t the door.
"I'll get it!" I said and jumped up, running to the door. I opened it up and saw Kane standing there.
