"Calling me mom would be too much… how about aunty…" Joan felt everything in her body stop. That was soo enough.
An expected hug landed on Natalie and she couldn't help but hug her back. She had sent someone to investigate about the young girl and the results were not pleasing.
"You've suffered soo much." Natalie pulled back to looked at her teary small face and smiled, "Don't cry aunty will take care of you and fill the gap of a parent, ok?" Joan looked at her and couldn't stop crying it was long since she felt the warmth of someone grown up to scold her and be proud of her.
"Thanks…" her small hand rubbed her red nose. "It means a lot." While the two were enjoying their mom and daughter, someone else was pulling and plucking her hair silently, this was the last thing she expected from this leech.
How dare she, first she leaves in their house and she takes her mom too… unbelievable she must pay.
"Well I'm sorry but I have to stop this," Her soft voice rang in the leaving room, "I can't watch this anymore… Aren't you ashamed, you are taking everything?" The two looked at her and shook their head. She was such a child.
"She's taking nothing you silly girl," her mom couldn't help but hold her head. Them being in the Well's family they received everything except brains.
"Come here you spoiled child and join us." After the emotional meeting was over Joan went to her room to pack. She walked in the beautiful room that she couldn't get enough of, this was pure paradise.
The big golden oval windows and the dancing curtains agreed with her, jumping on the king size bed she landed softly and bounced up a little and enjoyed the ceiling view. She had stuck some glowing stars on the wall and ceiling that glowed at night making her own world.
"I need to stop admiring and drooling on expensive things that I can't afford in a lifetime… I've got a life to build…"
In the leaving room Natalie and crystal sat laughing; Natalie was busy drinking her fav wine while crystal was busy stuffing herself with cake.
"You'll get fat and be useless," Natalie spat pushing the left cake off the table and the calories went flying on the clean white tiles.
"Mom… that's not fair," tears clouded her small big eyes. She stood and picked the cake and sat down far away from her mom.
"Quit acting like a child and be useful for once." It was true she envied every mother that had bight kids. Crystal was old enough to be someone's wife but she behaved like a high school child.
"What you are complaining now and a minute ago you were worshiping that stupid girl," She scoffed human had serious problem. "How can she be useful she knows nothing about this world?" Natalie glared at her daughter urging her to keep her mouth shut.
"What? You thought I wouldn't know that you wanted to use her into stealing that document." Crystal laughed loudly and took a bite of the last piece of cake. "You surly under estimated me woman… I let you see what I want you to see."
Crystal wore her fury slippers and walked towards her mom and enjoyed her shocked expression, this always made her day,
"How did you know?" Natalie did not understand how this clueless child knew her plan.
"Mom… I know a lot and every of your secret…" A whisper flew in Natalie's ears. A smile found its way on crystals face she won this time round.
