“Alice, honestly, I’m fine. I already have one mother worrying about me, I don’t need another. It’s just a little scratch.” They both knew she could have gotten a lot worse in her previous mission, that her old ‘friends’ seemed to go at her with a vengeance whenever they saw her. However, Mary was not one to ask for help; she also didn’t want anyone to know how fucking terrified she was. She had honestly thought this was it, that she was gone. “I’m going to be fine. See?”

Emma always felt out of place with these functions. Smile, but not too much. Don’t talk too anyone for too long or else the others might not think they have a chance. Don’t insult your siblings. She cleared her throat. Her father and mother had long ago stopped their arrangement, but she still felt the stink eye from his wife every time Emma and her mother stepped into the room. Emma would have rather avoided this whole thing (though she was good at it), but her mom insisted. As soon as she could manage, she settled into a corner, so she could breathe for a moment. She spotted a familiar face and smiled, waving her over. “Alice, I haven’t seen you in so long! How are you?”
