I moved away from the pond as my sister emerged from it using the granite round pool shape surrounding the pond to pull herself up. I had expected her to give me a weak glare and ask for help.

I couldn't hold in the low growl in my throat. I was pissed at Luke for putting her through such an emotional and physical shit storm and I was pissed at Chanz for bring it up so coldly. She had her lips pursed and eyes downcast. Out of all in the family Chanz is the one we would miss the least. Her temper and know it all attitude with a flimsy loyalty depending on the situation.

I burst out laughing. She let out a low growl. It came out more than a whimper if anything else. I sighed, we all dealt with our emotions differently.
