Thread: A Tragedy Unfolds (Javorcek X ClearSight)

It's sweet of you to take her in. I'm sure Caitlyn will love having someone to play with and I could always use another helper in the kitchen. Anna didn't mind having another pup to take care of. She worked from home and so got to spend a lot of her time with Caitlyn, only ever having to go to the office rarely and even then they didn't have to have a stranger watch their pup, Anna's mother always came over and gladly did it. And they had actually been talking about maybe having another kid, natural birth or adopted, so that Caitlyn could have a sister. Sure the girl had cousins but she didn't get to seeplay with them every day and Anna really wanted their daughter to have a sibling to be there for her for the rest of her life. As sad as the circumstances were, everything appeared to be working out. Hi Chris. I'm your Aunt Anna. I saw you once but you were reaallllyyy little. Anna offered a welcoming smile to the shy little girl. She stayed where she was and crouched down, trying to appear as non-threatening as possible as Clara brought over Caitlyn to introduce the two children. When Chris went to hide in Clara's skirts the wolf chuckled. Pretty scary huh? Lots of new people... But if you want, Caitlyn and I are making decorations for cupcakes and you can help, it's not so scary. Cupcakes!! Caitlyn grinned and scampered over to her mother. When Chris didn't follow, Caitlyn moved to take her hand and tug her along too, wanting her new friend to come play. ----- She's in a new place, she's just testing her boundaries. And she's testing you because you are the fun aunt that doesn't punish her. Anna chuckled, already moving to tidy up the house. She had just come home from work, today had been one of the rare days when she had gone in. She still had the energy to help clean up because she knew that Clara must've been wiped out from watching the girls all day, especially because it was something her wife rarely did on her own. The girls knew that Clara had no clue too, always trying to get away with things that Anna would never let them do. Once Anna and Clara had tidied up things that required a dust pan or mop, Anna pulled Chris out of her room, scolded her -and- Clara for making a mess, and then punished them both with having to put everything back into its place. Now that Clara no longer looked like the enemy, Chris went back to loving the French Alpha the best. ---- As soon as both girls were able to go to school, Anna took a better paying job at Lykos, working in one of their labs. The hours were nice, Clara had to make sure the kids got on the bus in the morning but then Anna could be home in time to watch them get off. One of the other nice things about working at Lykos was that she could take off for family reasons...like today when she had to leave early because Chris had gotten into a fight at school and was being sent home. The worst part had been calling Clara, all she had wanted to do was ask her to try to take off time because now they had to meet with the principal and the other kid's parents which was asinine in her opinion, and only to add to that aggravation was now her mate was getting upset that Chris had done something bad. She pushed a girl off the monkey bars. Anna repeated, frowning a bit as Clara told her to devise a punishment. Chris was going to get a punishment, that was for sure, but she was also going to get signed up for martial arts to learn some discipline for her fighting. When Caitlyn got home she hugged her cousin really tight. I'm sorry you got in trouble cause of me. The younger wolf told her parents what had happened, that Chris had been protecting her. Mommies were still mad that Chris had used her hands instead of her words but at least they didn't punish her so bad. ---- Chris had spent a month in France for the summer as she had been doing for the last six years, ever since she had turned 10. Her grandmother thought it was important for the young Chaumont to experience French culture...something that Anna couldn't argue was important. But what the young Latina would argue was the fact that the girl came back a brat every damn time because her grandmother spoiled her so. This year was no different. Chris had been back for less than a month, had been back to school for less than a week, and was speaking to Anna with less respect that was due to a woman that had tried so hard to raise Chris as though she were her own. You're not my mother! Chris was throwing a fit because Anna wouldn't let her go stay at a friend's house tonight because it was a school night. She was 16 and her grades were amazing, top of her class. You're not even a real Alpha! You can't tell me what to- Crack! Anna wound up and slapped Caitlyn straight across the face. Enough! Chris, go to your room. You hit me! Caitlyn clutched her burning cheek, looking at Anna with stunned eyes and then looking to her Aunt Clara for support. I'll hit you again if you say any of those things once more! Anna barked. Now get your butt into your room. You're grounded. Grrrr.... I hate you! I hate it here! I wish I had never been brought here!!! Chris screamed before stomping off, slamming the door to her room as her fit continued. Once Chris had left, Anna's strong front crumbled. She moved to Clara, the tears already falling from her eyes as she buried her face into her wife's neck.
