*Clara's pov*
I sit in my room as i play on my game console,i then hear a knock on my door
"come in" i say.
"honey ever since you came home for holiday from college,all you have been doing is playing games, don't you want to spend time away from your computer" my mom says to me as she enters my room.
"mom if this is about me following you guys to my aunt's house i'm not going" i said firmly
"I really don't understand why you don't like your aunt,and you know it's our family tradition to have a family gathering at her house every year" my mom replies.
"mom don't act like you don't know the reason i'm not going,she is literally a witch" i say out of anger.
"come on now don't talk about your aunt like that, i know she made some mistakes in the past but she has changed and we forgave her" she says.
i never really understood why my parents were so quick to forgive her,she used dark things on them just for money and i was not comfortable with that.
"mom why should we associate ourselves with some one who tried to steal dads properties using dark magic,mind you dad is her brother if she can do that to her own family imagine what she would do next" i reply her
"That is enough Clara ,that was four years ago and me and your dad has forgiven her,so you are going to show some respect to her and you are going to the family gathering whether you like it or not".
"fine I'll go,but don't expect me to be nice to her" i say out of annoyance.
As she leaves my room i get back to my favourite game that i was playing before my mom decided to spoil my mood this evening,love and Deepspace.
*****************************
The next day we were on our way to my aunts house,which is very long drive from where we live. After the long worthless journey we finally arrived,me and my family were greeted and welcomed by my aunt Shysie.
"oh how i have missed you all it's great to finally see you all after so long" she says has she hugs my mom and dad.
"why would anyone want to see you after what you did to us" i mumble to myself.
"oh my God my nieces and nephews,you guys have grown so much" she says as she hugs me,my brother and my sister,yes i have siblings my older sister China and my younger brother Caleb.
Time goes by fast has we are on the dining table,hopefully she hasn't talked or asked me any question,but just when things were getting good she calls my name.
"oh Clara,how has school been going,sorry i was not able to check up on you all this while" me and my sister give each other an irritated look as we are irritated at the fact that she is trying to act like she is trying to be nice,my mum then gives me a look directing me to answer her.
"it's fine i guess" i reply
"oh that's nice which university are you attending..."
before she completes that sentence,i stand up and excuse my self to use the restroom.
As i make my way through the upstairs hallway to find the restroom i then say to myself "she really thinks I'll tell her the name of my university so she could use one of her dumb black magic tricks on me,and why is her new house so large i even forgot to ask where the restroom is,now i don't know where i am heading".
As i start making my way downstairs i see a suspicious room,me being a curious person why not check out the room.
I open the door and its was pitch black,i turn on the light and to my surprise i see artifacts as in black magic materials
"so after all that happened she is still doing this shit" i mumble to my self.
"wow they are so many weird things in here." i say as i see a black looking crystal orb that catches my eyes,again me being curious person i took it.
"this is really pretty,aunt Shysie won't mind if i borrow this for a while." i put it in the pocket of my jacket.
" Clara come downstairs we are getting ready to leave."
"okay mom I'll be there in a minute" i hurriedly leave the strange room.
"Clara what were you doing up stairs for so long."
"aunt Shysie your house is so big it was hard for me to locate the restroom."
"it took you one hour to find the restroom" i glare at China as she tries to make things more complicated than they were already.
I was seriously trying to understand why China was doing that but i was glad no one payed attention to her,me and China never get along to well because of our age gap but four years apart was not suppose to be the reason for us not to get along that well,the only times me and China get along was when we came together to hate on someone which i did infact enjoy doing at least it was a way of bonding with my elder sis i guess.
"Okay shysie we wll be on our way now thank you for having us" my mom said singnaling us to start leaving.
After the long annoying drive back home we finally arrived around eight pm. i got out of the car and headed upstairs , i was so exhausted i just wanted to play games and go to sleep. when i was done freshining up i went straight to my system to play my favourite game love and deepspace , my favourite character in the game is sylus although it was just a fictional character he was designed very well you could say he was designed by a woman he hand burnt gray hair , a tall figure with a broad chest and abs with dark red eyes if he existed i real life i would not think twice to get on my knees for him and allow him play with me. "arghhh" i let out a frustrated groan as i found my self simping over a fictional character yet again maybe that was the reason why me and raph always had issues,i am too caught up in my own world.
I left my desk after i was done with my system as i jumped on my bed i felt something stiff hit my abdomen,i put my hand into the pocket of the clothes i wore out and brought out the crystal orb i took from my aunts place.
"why did i take this again" i said to myself as i placed it on my desk and went back to sleep.
****************************************
It was early morning and the light was shining through my curtain as i was too lazy to close it properly.
Few minutes of me being completely lazy and my mom barges into my room saying i should freshen up and come downstairs to have breakfast,when i got up i could not help but notice that the weird looking orb i took from my aunts place is right next to me on my bed, "didn't i place this on my desk how did it get here" i say to myself out of confusion. I make my way to the rest room,as i take a shower i briefly remember that my university would bre resuming soon and i would have to start my job and internship very soon,on the bright side atleast I'll be graduating soon.
