The girl somehow became aware of the fact that everyone is staring at her.
She lifted up her head and looked first at the Raven Family and then at me. Then she said jokingly,
"What? Do I have something on my face or something?"
The Raven Family just kept on staring at her.
The girl just shook her head and signed.
Suddenly Twilight spoke, "Neaven?"
"And a good day to you too, Aunt Twilight," she replied.
Aunt???
Then the girl's gaze turned on me. Actually, on my ring.
Then she looked at me, and I saw a smile forming on her face.
"That's a beautiful ring you got there, Claidi. I'm glad that Argul remembered to gave it to you."
How did she know that the ring was meant for me? How did she even know about it?
Just then Fengrey Raven spoke. "You two must dine with us."
But Twilight objected, "No! Neaven is okay, but not him. He had disgraced us too much."
"So," Fengrey argued, "but he is still family."
"Not my family."
"You can't deny the fact that he is your son. He has your blood."
"So? I can disown him if I want."
"But you didn't."
"But I will."
"But you DIDN'T!" Fengrey shouted.
I think that both Twilight, and Winter was shocked at hearing Fengrey shout. That would explain why Twilight consented.
Grunin sat right next to Fengrey, and Neaven sat right next to me.
After that no one said a word about anything. I discovered that I wasn't very hungry after what has happened anyway. So I took the time to watch the girl very carefully. She ate perfectly like the rest of them, and from time to time I saw her looking at Argul.
Argul did the same thing.
I wanted to ask him what had happened between the girl and him. Were they boyfriends and girlfriends? If so, did he ever love her, and did she ever love him back? Why did their relationship end? I was about to say all that when –.
Argul spoke. I was surprised to hear the uncertainty in his voice, "Neaven?"
She looked up. First at Grunin and then at Argul.
"That is my name."
"But you are suppose to be dead."
DEAD? So is she a ghost or something?
"Hey Argul," Neaven said quietly.
"How?" was all Argul managed to say.
Neaven closed her eyes and quietly sighed.
I couldn't stand this anymore. I said, a bit too loud, "How did you know Argul? How did you meet each other? Were you guys once boyfriends and girlfriends? Did you guys ever go out?"
Neaven spit out the water that she just drank.
