How's the family?

[Nicolette Styx]

Being away from her new found family was definitely affecting Nicolette far worse than she would have ever expecting it to. She was constantly missing them like crazy and would love to just go back home to see how they were, but she knew that would probably not end very well with Kalif being as upset as he currently was. Nicolette also knew that if she stayed in New Zealand she would end up slipping and popping by to see them, so she forced herself to head back to some place she hadn't seen in years. However finding her old home was a bit harder than she had expected because Russia just happened to be extremely big and empty for the most part, so finding it would probably take a few days or so. After possibly a few weeks or so of trying to find the house she decided that she should end up writing to a few more people seeing as the only person who really knew anything at all was Hades and she wasn't sure if that was enough.

So without seconds thoughts, Nicolette decided to write to a few people she trusted in the school with the information of where she was and that she was alright.

Patricia,

I don't think you've heard at all, but some rather unfortunate events have not only caused me some irritating injuries I have to deal with, but it also manage to lead your father and I into fighting with one another. Were not getting a divorce or anything because whether he likes it or not I still care for everyone, but rather he doesn't want me around him, the house, or children anymore.

With that being said, I knew I couldn't stay in New Zealand because that would tempt me all the time to be around you guys. So I've decided to go home in Osa, or at least the place that used to be called home to me all those years ago. I'm telling you this in case something happens like I'm unable to come back or something, you never know what could happen when your away and unable to fully heal yourself. Please don't tell anyone where I am, especially your father. Even if they beg or threaten, don't tell them where I am, because at the moment I don't want to be found really.

I'm trusting you...
-Niccy

Effie,

I know I already mention some things to you. I know everyone is getting testy about this but please don't tell them where I am.

Smack your brother if you have to...
-Niccy

Dear Nicolette,

Of course I won't tell him where you are, even if he gets cranky about the whole thing it's not really any of his business what you do or where you go. Take all the time you need to sort things out for yourself and I'll try to keep my brother's nose out of your business as best as I can manage while still being at the school. If needed I can also try and keep an eye on those at the school that you seem close with, but no promises.

Patricia had enjoyed her first week back to Hogwarts. School was school and the work, it felt, was already starting to pile up but it being her OWL year she expected this. Although the first week had gone swimmingly for her she had a nagging feeling that something wasn't right. She had a feeling that she was just getting used to the fact that this year was going to be uneventful after something happening all the time last year. Although as she made her way down to breakfast on the Monday of her second week she was soon to discover she wouldn't be so lucky.

As she ate her breakfast she lifted her head slightly as she heard the flapping of wings coming from the owls baring the morning post. Patricia never really expected any post from anyone but she always liked to think that there would be a letter for her among the rest of them. A smile spread across her lips as an owl dropped a single letter in front of her. Her smile grew even more so as she recognised the writing in the front, writing which belonged to her new step-mother, Niccy. As she opened the letter she figured it was a letter asking how she was, telling her about her baby brothers, the usual things. Although after reading the first line her heart sank and began to race, each word making her more worried and fearful for her friend. Tears started to fill her eyes as she ran to the owlery to reply before class.

Niccy,

First of all, are you ok? What injuries? How did you get injuries in the first place? Was it dad that hurt you? Why were you fighting? Sorry about bombarding you with questions but this isn't the kind of thing you land on someone and not expect a few questions to answer.

Anyway, I hope you are safe and, despite injuries, are well! And although I don't like that you are away I won't tell anyone, I promise but please be careful! I couldn't bare to loose you.

Love,
Pat.

Nicolette felt bad that she was making everyone worry and feel like she had abandoned them, but at the exact moment she wasn't even sure she would come back even if she was wanted back. There was a feeling deep in her gut that she had something to do in Russia that she couldn't do in New Zealand.

Patricia,

My goodness of course it wasn't your father that caused my injuries, he may be acting like a real big jerk right now but I don't even think he's that low. It was my father that injured me, he had full intentions to kill both Cecily and I but apparently he didn't take my ability to heal into account and not paid attention to stuff like a pulse like all smart Healers should do. But James is dead now and I think I'm ready to try and get rid of the painful past I had, but for some reason I can't seem to do that in New Zealand.

Now about why were fighting, I honestly don't know at all. Kalif apparently thought I was trying to leave him or something of the sorts but I just don't know what the problem is really. He's really hard to read in situations like this, which makes me miss the loser even more. I miss you guys all so much and I have eyes everywhere, so I'll know how your doing and if your keeping up your grades missy!

Thanks for not telling, remember even if someone begs about my location try your best to keep quiet about it, I prefer to keep them all away until I can face all of you again. Actually I don't really ever plan on coming back, maybe it's best that I stay in Russia where it all started from.

Russia's really cold btw....
-Niccy

Effie

Thats means Keep Theodore out of it too. If I know him well at all he will of course lurk around and bother people about it, I'm hoping his little girlfriend will keep him occupied this year though.

Nicolette,

Well news has gotten out and Alphonse has already informed the family that your not around, so he knows your gone but hasn't bothered to ask me yet. I don't think any of them have a clue that I know at all, if your going to tell anyone else I suggest you let them know that people know just in case. Alphonse is getting angry Niccy, when are you coming back>

-Effie

 

[Patricia Styx]

Niccy,

Sorry if I was jumping to conclusions, but you didn't give me a lot to go on in your last letter but I know dad wouldn't hurt you, it was silly of me to think of such a thing. You're father?! Oh my Niccy, he sounds horrible! Why would your father try to kill you, and Professor Zhefarovich? Urgh I seemed to have missed so much with starting back at Hogwarts, I'm not even sure I want to know the whole story, but as long as you are alive that's all that matters, right?

Well you're right about dad, he is a big jerk! Although he hasn't been acting any different in classes, not that I can tell anyway. But if he thought that you were trying to leave...why did you? I know this may sound strange, and it's coming from me, but it's sounds like dad was afraid to loose you...Then again I'm only 15 and has never even kissed a boy so I know nothing about relationships lol! Wow you really sound like my mum you know that, but so far I'm keeping my grades up so no worries, although I'm sure you already know that.

I promised I won't tell anyone and I'm going to stick to that promise. NO! No! I don't allow you to say that. You can't stay away forever. I miss you enough when I'm at school, I don't want you have way across the world. You and dad are just going to have to sort things out, you're the adults after all, act like them! And if you think it's really cold, how are you going to stay there for good?

I miss you so much,
- Pat

Both Patricia and Effie's letters left a good hole in her heart but their written words and pleas fell on a closed heart now, she wouldn't return where she wasn't wanted or uncared for. Just last night she had arrived at the Hensel Manor that she had spent such a short time in as child but it still seemed to make such a huge impact on her heart when she first saw it. It was right here where nearly hundreds of people were all killed in one night, because of one persons hatred. In fact the first thing she had done when she got inside was collapse on her parents bed and cry, cry until she found that there was nothing left for her to cry about. What was the use of being happy when you were losing grip on the last bit of happiness you had left?

Oh Patricia,

It would be far to much to write the whole story, but perhaps if you came to visit me in Russia or I saw you around sometime I could tell you in person. I figured that I owe it to you to let you know the truth about what happened and why they happened like they did, I just hope that unlike most you'll understand it and not treat me like a freak because of the decisions I've made in the past. I'm going to also write this to you now, it is unknown to me at the moment, but Cecily your headmistress rather might be dead as well. But I do not know this for a fact because I didn't stay around to find out, I couldn't stay. Cecily was my best friend Patricia, she was another one of those reason I face the facts of.

I figured he wouldn't act any different, I doubt he cares at all actually so I don'y think he was afraid to lose anything at all. He told me that if I came around them he would kill me Patricia, I know he meant it too. Obviously if he hates me enough to do that why bother coming back around, I have lived long enough with people hating me and I'm done dealing with it. Don't worry about the whole boy thing either Pat, you'll find yourself some guy that will make you so happy someday. He better watch himself though, he makes you cry and I boot him down some stairs. Tch, trust me...I'd know if you weren't keeping up your grades. Effie is keeping a close eye on everyone at the school, even your father.

Good, I trust you to keep your mouth shut. Right now hun, I have no thoughts on ever coming back when no one really wants me back all that much. It's a lot harder to heal wounds from the heart Patricia, so it looks like us sorting things out if out of the question. so yes, unless I find good reason to come back...I'm staying.

It's called wearing a Jacket...
-Niccy

Effie,

At the moment Effie, I don't think I ever really plan on coming back to New Zealand. But if Alphonse is getting that upset over it tell him to appoint someone new as the advisor because he's probably going to need one other than me. Only three people know so far, one of them is pretty much unreachable unless he wants to be, the other one is a girl that most likely won't be bothered. Your the only other one that knows and I trust you not to screw it up.

Nicolette,

Don't be a spoiled brat Nicolette, there are plenty of people here that would seriously miss you so much if you decided not to come home. I'm not going to argue over this with you, get over it and just came back home before Alphonse does something extremely stupid.

-Effie

 

[Patricia Styx]

Niccy,

I would love to come and visit you in Russia. I miss you so much and thinking that you're in Russia makes me miss you even more because you are so far away. And you don't have to tell me 'the whole story' it sounds like it would be a hard story for you to tell and I don't want you to have to divuldge into your history on my account. And I would never treat you like a 'freak' because of any of your past descision, come on you married my dad for crying out loud, nothing could be as bad as that, haha!

Wait! What?!?! Professor Zhefarovich might be dead! Well there has been no news of it here so it may not be true. I hope not, oh Niccy I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you to leave everyone behind, but hopefully it won't be forever. I know that now you say it will but things change and so do people, so I'm going to be remain the optimist even if you don't. Remember the first day we met, you said that things could be a lot worse so just smile like you mean it and get on with life...why don't you try a bit of your own medicine.

I'm not dad's biggest fan in the world but I just can't urgh I don't know! I suppose I just don't want to believe that he would be like that, to you of all people. I mean you're married and you've had children together, there has to be something about you he likes. I mean I know some boys are just stupid but that's just stupid. But boys are a mystery to me so I don't really know...and yeah on that note, no boys for me, I mean not now anyway, I'm happy with the way things are boys just bring drama. Aww thank you, although I fear for any boy that would want to be with me, the idea is very sweet.

Wow you're almost as bad as Hades! You have eyes and ears everywhere hehe. And I don't know about dad but there are people here you want you back. Me for starters. I love you Niccy and I know that probably doesn't help but just know that and that there are people here that care for you. I hope everything's ok. How's Russia..apart from cold?

Patricia,

As much much as you visiting sounds hun, It is far more different in my home town than places you are probably used to Patricia in New Zealand and home. It's pretty much a ghost town up here, the only people left are all either crazy or so broken down they don't see the point of leaving anymore so they just wait there for an absolute that they know won't ever come. Either they are waiting to die or they are waiting to love, but I can tell that when they look at me they are expecting me to fall the same fate. Even my old home is filled with nothing but dark and cold, you can pretty much feel the misery as soon as you step into the house. I feel like I would be somehow sucking the life out of you by bringing you up here, so maybe it's best if you stayed in New Zealand. As for trying to smile and get on with it, I have in my own dark and twisted way. I will admit right now that if I hadn't, I would have probably let my injuries kill me the day I left, but instead I wanted to live for some reason...I think there's something I still really have to do with my life.

Boys can be really dumb at times, I think I'm either suffering from a broken heart of some sorts or I'm just getting ill or something. I feel like I don't want to move, or eat, all I want to do is sleep and cry all the time and it's like my childhood all over again, I just wish I could explain why this is happening to me and why I'm feeling like this.

Russia apart form being cold is so quiet, it's almost hard to believe that my home town was once extremely big and thriving unlike now. So many of the people I grew up with and come to know while I lived here as a child had either been killed, went missing, or seems to have forgotten me. My old home is also such a reminder of my mom and my dad, I found a picture of them the other day holding me as a baby and I broke down crying until I got so tired of looking at that I threw it across the room and it broke into so many pieces.

I think I look just like my mom...
-Niccy

Effie,

How am I being the brat?! You should be one of the people that understand why I did what I did seeing as you were also one of the few that had also witnessed James before I ran way from him and to New Zealand. The one chance I stand up to him I lose something so important to me and no one understands, that is exactly why I don't want to come to see any of you...none of you get it.

-Niccy

 

[Effie Kingston]

Nicolette,

Fine I get it, you win.
Just know that your making a huge mistake and I don't want to be one of the one's to watch you pay for it later.
