[2 days later]
On the way Demon and Aster told her to be nice and her aunt was looking forward to her visit.
"Just give him a death glare, and if he is provoking you just come to me or go to your aunt."
'Can I go to the both of you?'
"That's even better." Aster chimed in.
'Why?'
"Because if you do that, you get to see something nice."
'Oh… then I do that.'
"But sister are you really alright doing this? I mean if it's too much and you run away, you can get even more stressed because the surroundings are very different from our place."
She gave something to her father and brother.
"What is this sister?"
'It has my scent on it so even if you can't find me your familiars can.'
"Good girl."
Along the way they had to make a stop for her because it was a larger distance and she wasn't used to it so she got a little sick.
"You're doing well Hisha, all that training is paying off." Demon smiled.
She smiled and after 15 minuts she was all good again.
She dozed off on her brothers lap because the ride was longer then she thought.
"Father, why did she suddenly want to go visit aunt Lucinda?"
"Not that this is a bad thing for her to do."
"She said she didn't hear from Blaze for 2 months now, she found it odd. I think she wants to see if he is alright."
"Your sister and Blaze are very close and they write about everything to each other. Plus I had to write to Lucinda, because she had a feeling her letter would not be received Lucinda."
They were almost their and Aster started to wake her up.
"Hisha we are almost there."
'Hmm…'
After a few minutes she was fully awake and looked out of the carriage and saw her surroundings were completely different.
There were a lot of people on the street and a lot of houses, anxiety started to hit her.
"It's going to be fine Hisha."
She nodded.
The carriage came to a stop in front of the gate.
Demon got out first and Aster fallowed after, she got out with the help of her brother but held his hand tight.
"Sister breath slowly, once we pass the gates it will feel less stressful."
'Alright.'
They were greeted by the butler and fallowed him inside. She felt she could breathe a little easier but was warry because this was an unfamiliar place.
They arrived at the living room.
Lucinda saw her niece dressed up in the cloth she had picked out for her 1 day ago
She was so happy to see her wear it.
Hisha made a little curtsy. 'I thank aunt Lucinda for having me come and visit you on such short notice.'
Lucinda was surprised how much she had grown, from 3 years ago. She spoke very well and notice she had learn most basic of manners in greeting.
'It's my pleasure to have you over.'
She smiled at her aunt, she then shifted to her uncle who got a warry glare of her, Helios a death stare, but she light up by the sight of Blaze.
This didn't go unnoticed by her father, brother and aunt.
She walked over to Blaze and grabbed his hands. 'Were you sick or hurt?'
"No…"
'Than perhaps did someone bully you?'
"No cousin Hisha, I'm perfectly fine."
'Then why didn't you write back? I send you a letter every week, but for two months I didn't get any in return.'
"I didn't receive any letter for the past 2 months, I thought you were busy."
She then looked at everybody but had a good idea who intercepted her letters.
'Well maybe they got lost or something, I'm just glad to see you're not sick or hurt.'
The two of them left the living room.
'How was the journey for her?'
"We had to make one stop because she felt a little sick, she napped the other half."
'But why of a sudden and come over?'
"Well Hisha wanted to come, actually she wanted to head over 2 days ago, but I told her that that was rude."
"When she told me the reason, I thought it wasn't a bad idea."
'But to see her in a dress, that is a lot of progress.'
"Well at first she didn't want that, but when she heard you picked it out for her, she was fine with it."
"That and there was a day all her cloth was in the laundry and she had to wear some of your old cloths, she wore your favorite blue shirt and she didn't complain or anything, she wears skirts more often, and rather wear that then dresses."
"How did the tour go at the academy 2 months ago?" Aiden asked.
"Better then we hoped for."
"Sister most likely will enroll as a part-time student."
"How so?"
"She deems that place to be full of pests and vermin."
"She did find the library the most interesting place, but she was already told she was over qualified for swordsmanship classes by teacher Lugu Lamenta."
"She is over qualified already!?"
Aster nodded. "He proposed that if Hisha comes to the academy, she could be an instructor for that class."
Blaze was showing Hisha around and after that he showed her what he had practiced.
'I think Helios is the one who has taken my letters.'
"That is not possibly, the butler is responsible for the mail."
'Well it's not hard to for Helios to monitor the mailman and the butler or even ask a servant to distract him to fish out my letters to you.'
"Well how do you tend to find that out?"
'Easy you just need to…'
"Why are you still at our family? Fake!"
Hisha sighed.
'Blaze tell Black to fetch my father and your mother.'
He nodded and stood next to her.
"Cousin Hisha is not a fake!"
"She is."
Demon and the others arrived. 'Aunt Luci can I pummel Helios?'
'What did he do?'
'He is provoking me, asking why I'm still at the family and calls me a fake.'
'Father I promise not to use Cerberus unless he calls for his familiar, oh and I won't use magic or sword either.'
Demon looked at his sister.
And they both walked over to Helios. Demon pointed his sword to him and Lucinda smack her son on the head.
Hisha didn't understand what they were doing but Aster walked over to his sister.
"You see, while aunt Lucinda is normally nice, calm and observant. Father is more of the calm and cold and doesn't speak much."
"But if they both get offended or hear something offensive, well what you see right now, they stand together and will scold that person."
'So that's why you said I should call them both so I can see something nice.'
"Hmm, not only that, aunt Lucinda and our mother were great friends. Aunt Lucinda considers any child of her friend her own."
When they were done with scolding Helios, Lucinda was pounced at by Hisha.
'Thank you aunt Lucinda.'
'You're welcome Hisha.'
'Uhm aunt Lucinda can we talk in privet for a moment.'
'Sure.'
'You men can leave now Hisha need some girl talk right now.'
Hisha giggled at the sight of the men leaving and how her aunt bossed them around.
'So what did you want to talk about.'
'Well there are a few thing I don't understand.'
'Out of all my aunts and what not, you're the only one who never said I should wear dresses, and on how to behave, or never told me I should meet the family right away or should be in the mansion.'
'Why is that?'
'Hmm, well that because of how feral you were back then.'
'When I got the news that you were finally found I was so relieved you survived, so I asked my brother for a full report on your state.'
'When he told me how scared you were of the mansion and that you rather sleep underground or in the stables I knew it would take a lot of time and patience to get you get used to everything.'
'I did tell my brother he had to feel you out on your preference like clothing and let you do everything at your own pace.'
'Aster taught you words and teach how to read and write, manners were not a priority, but building the familial bond was.'
'My brother is lucky you are a curious girl, while you do overwhelm yourself because you are confident you can handle it. Your brother and father know better but let it go because you are the one who needs to learn.'
'You went missing at the age of 3 and live for 3 years in a forest, forcing you in to society isn't good.'
'And honesty while I am glad to see you wear the cloths I picked out for you, wearing boy's cloths isn't bad either.'
'I think there is nothing wrong with expressing yourself and be true to yourself. But there are times wearing a dress is needed.'
'So aunt Lucinda advice my father and brother, so I slowly could get used to my life?'
'Hmm, because after Sha's death you were taken from you home and the only life you knew.'
'Such a big change, if not handled carefully will have a very negative impact on that person.'
She hugged her aunt.
'Aunt Lucinda?'
'What is it Hisha?'
'I know I have a lot of time, but I don't think I want to lose all of my feral sides.'
'Father already knows this, but I'm not pretty, I don't want to become a weak and pretty lady who can't do nothing.'
'And I don't want to marry.'
Lucinda smiled. 'I bet your father was happy to hear you say that.'
'Aunt Lucinda, sometimes I want to ask father about mother, but the first time I asked about her he was very sad, so I never asked again. Sometimes I feel that ever since I got home he is being reminded every day that he lost mother.'
'It hurts me, knowing that when he looks at me, he is reminded of mother and never can see her again.'
Hisha was softy sniffling in her aunts arms.
'Oh Hisha…'
'The day of the accident, when your father got the news of her death and you being missing his heart shattered in pieces. While he knew she passed away, the uncertainty of your whereabouts is what pained him the most. Not knowing if you were dead or alive was the biggest pain to him. For 3 years he searched high and low for you, the moment he found you I had my brother back to how he was before.'
'I do have to say he is overly worried for you, but you can't blame him for that.'
'Hisha you have my brothers hair and eye color, you indeed look like your mother. Your personality is of both of them. While you may think he looks sad because you look like her, I think he feels sad because he feels he had failed you as a father for 3 years. '
'But believe me when I say he loves you a lot and he is glade you have returned to him. You are his precious child after all.'
After a while they got back inside and she brought her over to Blaze.
She watch them for a few minuts and all seemed well.
'In an hour dinner will be served.'
"Yes mother."
Lucinda told her brother to fallow her and they went to the her office.
She told him what was on Hisha's mind .
'Could you at least tell her a bit more about her mother?'
'You don't have to tell her about her death, but you could talk about the years before her death or the first 3 years of her life.'
'I could tell she had a lot of questions, but that one time she asked about her, it was like she stabbed you with a sword or something.'
'That girl is so sensitive.'
"Your right, I can't avoid it forever."
'This family real is…, I think I should hold another lecture.'
"Why?"
'Hisha wondered why I treat her so different from other family members, I explained why.'
'Although she is making an effort, somehow she still feels forced to get rid of parts of her that she deems as her qualities.'
"What are those?"
'Her feral side, she doesn't want to let go of it. That's why she doesn't want to get married and become a lady the other family members what her to be.'
'I also think with the whole academy issue, while she still has time, in her heart she doesn't want to go, but if she doesn't go she will be looked down on by the family. This is causing a great deal of stress.'
"If she doesn't want to go she doesn't have to, in my opinion she is doing great at home and if she wishes to read books I'll just look for the books she want."
"Even if she wants to take over my position I can teach her together with her brother."
"But headmaster Ciel already told Hisha something that she could achieve if she went there as a part-time student."
'And what is that?'
"That despite being a part-time student she could become a great Lady."
"Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"
'Why not.'
"Since Hisha feels forced by the family, and she likes your tasted in clothing, would you be her role model?'
'Of course, seeing her being picky with cloth and rather wearing men's cloth but does wear a dress if needed she really reminds me of myself when I was young, only she is a bit more aggressive.'
Demon chuckled a little.
"When she told me she isn't pretty, or wants to be a lady, and even hates the thought of getting married. Somewhere deep down I was happy when she said that."
'Well she inherit your stubbornness, once she is admen on something nothing can sway her, what can be a double edge sword.'
Demon nodded.
At the dinner table Hisha saw delicious food.
The first half of dinner all looked good and Hisha and Blaze were happily talking.
When the main course was served things started to look bad.
Hisha ate her plate but started to cough badly and coughed up blood. Even Blaze was showing the same symptoms.
"Hisha!"
'Blaze!'
They both fainted and Aiden called for all the staff while Aster went out to get a doctor for the kids.
Both Lucinda and Demon had a murderous look on their face.
Aster arrived with the doctor and looked at the children.
"They have been poisoned."
"What, but who would do such a thing?"
Aster helped out the doctor.
He got the antidote after checking the food of the kids an could tell what type of poison it was.
"This poison is not lethal or has any affect to adults but it is to children."
Aiden returned to the room and slapped his eldest son so hard the corner of his mouth is bleeding.
"How dare you!"
"I thought it was already odd for Hisha to come over, but after hearing you tempered with your brothers mail, and then start to pick a fight with her and calling her a fake!"
"Do you really need to poison your cousin and brother!"
"You are going down underground and stay there for a month!"
'Make it 2, 1 month for Hisha and 1 month for his brother.'
Aiden nodded and took Helios away who was protesting.
After a few hours of worries the doctor told them the children were fine now and Hisha could go home, but she had to eat light foods.
They all sighed in relieve.
"Aiden which of the staff member lased the food?"
"No one actually, just before dinner was getting served some of the staff saw Helios sneaking in to the kitchen."
"This is such a mess, Lucinda and Blaze are the only people she trust and now that trust is damaged."
Hisha came to the living room under the supervision of the butler.
'I still trust aunt Lucinda and cousin Blaze.'
'And this is not your fault uncle Aiden.'
'I can't speak for cousin Blaze… but that vermin really needs to be punished severely.'
"Don't worry he will."
'Were is the vermin now?'
"I locked him up in the dark room under the house."
'For how long?'
'2 months, 1 month for you and 1 month for Blaze.'
'Alright, when he can get out again just feed him the same poison and cure him, I wil go to his room and break a few thing and Blaze can do the same, when he sees that he will cry.'
'Just tell him I did that and he should be grateful I was nice enough to not break him.'
"Sister your such an evil little demoness you know that."
'Don't care.'
Everybody started to laugh.
'Now that the vermin is locked up… can I come and sleep over in 2 weeks?'
Lucinda smiled. 'Sure you can.'
Demon nodded.
