After a month or so, Emma felt like she finally got the gist of how things were run around here. Thank god for the fact that she had to deal with a lot of siblings before all this shit, otherwise she had a feeling that things would have turned out a lot more differently... and violently.
Fucking hell, she thought that she was about to sock that one kid.
Amy apparently was not as crazy as she thought she was.
She was insane.
Currently right now Emma was hiding from both her and Dennis (Who thank god wasn't as nuts as she was, just whipped to hell and back.) In a bush next to a tree while praying to God that either of them wouldn't drag her into one of their pranks again. She was still finding thorns in her clothes.
Never again. Oh god never again.
Feeling something smooth move across her neck, she froze. Slowly Emma turned her head and paused.
Oh its just a snake...
OH GOD ITS A SNAKE.
"..."
"..."
Without missing a beat, she took the small reptile and left to place it in a different bush. There could only be one and she had already called dibs. Unfortunately for her what she didn't account for was running into another orphan who instead of running at the sight of the animal simply chose to stare intensively a them both.
The dark haired boy didn't move for a while and from the vibes that she was getting, he was not a happy camper.
Taking note of his intense look to the snake, Emma offered it and the boy paused. After a while he took the reptile and watched as the girl, without a word hid back into her poorly constructed hidey hole.
This continued on for a few weeks before she found out that his name was Tom Marvolo Riddle and she wondered where she's heard that name before.
