A Normal Life
Author's note: So have I confused you with all the names? I thought so. Here, I'll make it easy for you. Arella –Her "mother" Troy (the guy at the piano) – Her "father" Becky (the little girl) – Her "cousin" Brian (the guy with the guitar) – Her "cousin" (Becky's brother)
Now you're all up to speed, just in case you were confused. Here's a fun fact: the name "Arella" means "Angel", so in the comic books, Raven's mother was an "Angel" and her father was a demon. Are the answers to all the questions coming in this chapter? You'll have to read and find out...

Chapter 6 – "Pancakes and Mishaps"
After opening the presents, Raven's "father" made pancakes. They were delicious. At breakfast, Raven realized why her "mother" had said that she was hiding from Becky. While Becky had seemed really sweet before, her enthusiasm was really tiring. The little girl kept talking and talking and talking. Raven was sure that the little girl was going to suffocate because it didn't seem like she ever paused to take a breath. Becky talked about anything, and everything. First she talked about how much she loved her dollhouse, then she told Raven all about her dolls. After telling Raven all about her dolls, she commenced in telling her all about her favorite cartoons, and why they were her favorites. Raven had been zoning out for a while, but the little girl caught her attention when she mentioned the family's yearly trip to the park. "What did you say?" Raven asked.
"I said that I can't wait until we go to the park, and go ice skating. You promised to teach me how to skate this year remember?" Becky said
"Yeah, yeah. I remember." Raven said, a little worried. She didn't know how to ice skate, how was she supposed to teach someone else? 'Well, I suppose I can always levitate close to the ice to make it look like I'm skating.' She thought.
"While we're there, we've got to get our picture made in front of the skating angels statue." Becky said stuffing pancakes into her mouth.
"Why?" Raven asked
The little blonde girl stopped chewing and looked at her. Suddenly, her face looked a little hurt. Then she said, "Well, we get our picture there every year...I just thought that we'd get it done again."
Raven realized she messed up. "Oh, yeah, sorry. I guess I forgot for a second there, yeah, I can't wait either." She said hurriedly, in hopes to make up for her obvious mistake. The words instantly made the little girl's face change back to a smile. 'That was close. I've got to be careful. I don't know these people, they're not my family...no matter how much I wish they were.' Raven thought.
