This chapter is also a long one! 

I have wandered off from my original Swedish script somewhat and I am trying to find my way back to it, please let me know if there is anything wrong with this chapter! I am a bit insecure about how I will fix what I have done (lol). 

-Keegan-

Keegan entered the house first. He was still agitated and leaned against the door to his bedroom. His parents gave him a strange look when they noticed the grim expression on his face. 

He was fuming because the old teacher had thrown them out and accused Cara of being a witch. Nothing about her indicated that she had an evil bone in her. On top of it all the old bastard had taken all their coin after barely reaching her any useful parts of their language.

Cara walked in after him. He turned his eyes in a direction where she wasn't. Looking at her only made him even more agitated than he already was.

"How did it go?" His mother asked with a delighted smile on her face as soon as Cara entered her line of sight. She was standing by the counter, rinsing the meat they were having for dinner.

With three quick motions she dried the blood off her hands on the apron she had tied around her waist and walked towards them.

"He threw us out." Flynn explained when he walked in after Cara.

"Shut up, you idiot." Orla growled and Keegan agreed with a stern look in his brother's direction.

"Threw you out?" Their father, who was sitting on his arse at the table as usual, asked surprised. His seat by the table was the place he could be found after he was done with his work for the day. Close to his wife, and the food she was cooking.

"Yes." Keegan mumbled.

"What happened? Did he not teach her anything?" Their mother asked confused and her face turned displeased in half a second.

"He taught her some words. I'm not sure... then Orla told him that we found her in the woods." Keegan answered their mother and shot an annoyed glance at his sister.

"Where were you if you aren't sure?" His mother snapped, but before he could answer her ,she continued. "And what of it? It is not her fault that she ended up in the woods, naked and alone!" Their mother snapped aggressively, but it wasn't aimed at her children. It was towards the old man. "That is not Cara's fault!"

Her hands gripped her hips and she looked like she was about to leave and strangle the old man with those same hands.

"When he heard that we found her in the woods, he got scared." Keegan began explaining. "He is scared that she might be a witch." Keegan eyed Cara for a second. She was standing in the middle of the room, seeming very uncomfortable being the center of everyone's attention and their conversation.

"Your rude behavior didn't exactly help." Orla scoffed in a mean tone. 

"What came out of your mouth wasn't of any use either. since it got us thrown out" Keegan snapped with a venomous tone.
