Family Ties

Chapter Four: Kinkirk
"Mom! We're home!" Ariel yelled, slamming the door behind her.
Melissa looked around the house. There was a picture above the fireplace. There was a picture with many people in it. She assumed this was Ariel and Andrea's family. There was a young woman, presumably around the age of 21, who was a spiting image of Andrea, next to a tall man with brown hair. There was a woman who could only be Ariel's mother, accompanied by a man who must have been her father, holding a baby Karrie and someone who looked like he could have been her twin. There was a young teenage girl next to a taller man and someone who looked to be his girlfriend. In the center were two people who must have been Ariel and Andrea's grandparents. But what really drew her attention, was the woman on the far right. She had beautiful blonde hair, and green eyes.
She tried to forget about her, but she just couldn't.
"Ariel," Melissa asked. "Who is that?" she pointed to the picture.
"Oh, that-um…" Ariel began.
"We don't really know." Andrea answered for her. "No one likes to talk about her much. That's our parents', my mom and Ariel's dad's, younger sister."
"But we do know that she ran away from the family when Karrie and Matt were eight years old." Ariel added.
"Matt?" Melissa asked.
"Karrie's twin brother." Andrea replied.
"Hey kids." came a voice, obviously Ariel's mom.
"Hey mom." Andrea said.
Ok. Melissa thought. So this is Andrea's mom.
"Hey Aunt Mary." Replied Ariel. "This is our new friend from school."
"Well," Mary said. "It certainly is nice to meet you…" she trailed off, not knowing Melissa's name.
"Melissa. Melissa Kinkirk." Melissa stated.
Oh my gosh! Mary thought. Is she-no-I couldn't ask-it would be way to forward-ah! I know!
"Oh, it's nice to meet you Melissa. I'm Andrea's mom-Mary Palmer. But you can call me Mary." She took a deep breath. "You aren't by any chance related to Ben Kinkirk, are you?" she asked.
"Um, yes, I am." Melissa replied. "He's my uncle."
Sorry to stop there-but I have never written a cliff-hanger ever, and it was just too tempting!
