Monster He Made

ward gathering and Im starving. I took four sticks of kebab from one of the waiters and shove in…oh so satisfying…

Max walked up to me while I tried to push down the rest of the meat off my throat so I had to swallow immediately and get rid of the sticks behind.

He served me a glass of whiskey and we shared a toast.

”To Max Carrington, marketing guru extraordinaire. ” I toasted

”To you, creative can create without a muse…brace yourself, incoming… ” Max said so I turned around all to see his little sister.

”Ah, thats my big bro, Max! ” Sarah said in excitement as she hugged him happily.

This is the first time with Maxs youngest sister, Sarah.

”Oh my God, you are way prettier than Jess described. ” She said with giggles.

”You must be Sarah, ” I said stretching out my arm as we exchanged hugs.

”Lovely to see you again Emerald… ” I heard an older voice from behind. Oh damn! Its Maxs evil mom, Martha. I hate her so much!

One of the main reasons why I was hesitant to come to this party was.

I giggled uncomfortably.

”Im so glad you could make it, ” I said

”Oh, um, Ive…been going to maxs since he was born. I haven missed one yet. ” She said with the intent to embarrass me. She never let the bitch in her slide.

”Im so happy YOU could make it, ” Martha said.

”Of course ” I smiled.

”Lets get you a drink, mother. ” Jess interrupted the awkward conversation, taking her mother away from me.

I used one of my fore senses to listen to their conversation as they walked away from us.

”Im allowed to be picky about my sons choices, ” Martha said.

”You
e not. Hes a grown man. ” Jess interrupted.

”Hes also my only son. And he met her on a blind date. ”

”Yeah set up by me… ” Jess defended.

I got out of their conversation as they came closer and engaged in the conversation that is right before me.

”Kudos on beating me to the alter. ” Max congratulated his little sister on her upcoming wedding.

”I have one bit of advice for you; elope ” Sarah blushed.

”I hope the wedding preparations are not stressing you out, ” Max asked in concern.

”Im good, honestly everything is fine. Its just a lot to do in the next two weeks. ” Sarah replied.

”if you need any help, just let me know. ” I put in my two cents just to get involved in the conversation.

”Oh, God no! Mother won let anyone come near the preparations. ” Sarah said.

Of course, she won !

”The only thing you need to worry about is finding a dress, ” Jess said to me.

”oh, I thought Id just wear this dress, ” I said.

”w…. ” Martha butted in with a very judgmental look.

How could I be so foolish? I shouldn say that in front of Martha even as a joke.

”oh what was I thinking? I should find something special for the occasion. ” I tried to save myself from the silly ditch I just fell into.

”I will sort you out tomorrow, right? ” Jess came with a saving rope again.

”To all the ladies in my life, finally together. I wouldn want to do this night any other way. ” Max toast came to ease the tension.

The award program has started and Max is giving his speech when my phone vibrated very loudly and it didn go unnoticed by Martha.

Of course, Martha is about to smite me with her looks as if she had supernatural power. How can I interrupt her sons special event? How stupid of me!

I excused myself from the noise and cheering to go pick up the call from Miguel.

”What is it? ”

”How come you didn call Alfredback? ” Miguel asked urgently.

”I haven had a chance yet ”

”A girl was killed by a Rouge in the bear valley. Alfred called a meet. He expects us all to be there as a family obligation. ”

”Not my family anymore, not my obligation, ” I replied firmly.

”Just call him back. You know you have to. ” Miguel paused ”Or at least meet me and I can tell you what I know. ”

”Whatever, Ill call. ” I ended the call to go back to the celebration.
