I froze in fear what the heck

I was face to face with a young girl with silky black curls hanging down her waist, she resembled Catherine alot and was pretty if she wasn't holding another knife to my throat

Julian grabbed her a took the knife

"Sorry about her she was practicing, Ethan this is Enya your cousin she's 5 months older than you" I looked at her and swallowed

"Uh Hi I guess" I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly "This scrawny thing is our cousin?, he looks like he needs a good stew in him" I pulled my hoodie down feeling insecure

"Enya! That was rude of you to say, apologise or I'll get fetch the wooden spoon" wooden spoon? "Ugh sorry I was just saying, anyways nice to meet ya Ethan" I nodded and Catherine called out "Doran! Collin! Come meet your cousin"

I heard what sounded like a herd of elephants running down the stairs before two boys were infront of me holding out their hands

"Hey I'm Colin!" A energetic boy said he has black hair too and brown eyes which all three share, he was quite muscular and was wearing a black tank top and navy sweats, his brother has dyed red hair, a black t-shirt and black jeans, I shook his hand next "I'm Doran nice to meet you..." "Ethan, my name is Ethan"

"Doran you might wanna keep Aoife away from him I mean look at him" Colin said what does he mean, am I that ugly? "What do you mean?" I asked trying not to get angry "I mean you're good looking bro, I've never seen eye's that green before!" I blushed "Hate to say it but he's right the girls will be all over you at school and Aoife is my girlfriend by the way" I nodded still blushing slightly from their compliments

"Okay stop flirting with our cousin, Ethan I'll show you your room as a sorry for earlier"

We walked up a flight of stairs and to a corridor there was 3 doors on the left side and 2 on the other.

Enya pointed to the left

"That's the bathroom, then my room, then ma and da's room and on the right is Colin and Doran's room and the last is your room" we walked into said room, it had a white door matching it's white walls, there was a big window with a window seat on the back wall, a plain bed leaning against the right wall and a chest at the end of the bed, the wardrobe was at the left wall facing the bed, the floor was covered in black carpet, overall the room is plain but good enough for me, I dropped my bag on the bed and gently set Hope next to it

"Da is gonna take you to Ikea and B&Q to buy furniture and paint so you can decorate" she said looking at the room "Why? I'm not gonna be here long anyways" "What do you mean?" "I only have to stay here until I'm 18 so next year I'm going back to America" I said sitting next to Hope "Oh yeah and how do you plan to pay for a plane ticket, a home, food?" "That's the hard part"

"You should be grateful" she sneered "I am, I'm thankful to your parents, I just miss my home is all, the orphanage is my family you'd miss people you spent your whole life with, wouldn't you?" She sighed "Yeah, what's the dogs name?" She said changing the subject "Hope, My friends and care worker got her for me after I started to recover"

"Recover?" She asked "I...previously struggled with an eating disorder, I still am recovering but I'm better than I was, I used to need to be tube fed" I explained, it's been hard for me to commit to recovery but I think I'm doing okay "damn that's hard I'm sorry" "it's good" I said 

"By the way you might wanna be careful with Hope we have two cats" as if on cue we heard a hiss and a growl and I noticed Hope was no longer next to me.....Shit!!!!
