Uncle Shota walked over and sat beside me, leaning back against the wall. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Perhaps there is another solution, one that does not require uprooting her. For the time being, at least."

I looked at him and wanted to hug him, but I will try to control myself. More than anything I want to understand what is really going on and what happened that day, but I still want to have some sort of normalcy too. Living with my uncle would be anything but normal. He's totally more strict than my parents.

Dad asked, "So what is the plan Shota?" Uncle Shota sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. "I think we have to contact Matteo. I believe he can help." Mom paled. Dad spun around and slammed my bedroom door open and stormed out.

Now I'm confused. Who's this Matteo guy and what in the world did he do to deserve that reaction? Mom smiled a shaky smile and nodded. "Whatever you think is best, my brother."

Uncle Shota stood up and held a hand down to help me stand. "Come little one. I don't think either of us will sleep any more tonight. We might as well be on our way. Grab a couple of days worth of clothes and meet me out front at my car." Then he and my mom left my room, talking as they went.

I hurriedly packed what I thought I might need and practically flew down the stairs. My dad was waiting by the front door. "Be careful, Faith. Matteo will help, but always at a price. He and I have... a history that is unpleasant."

Duh. Hence the total overreaction. I nodded. "I'll be fine dad. If I can't handle it, I trust that Uncle Shota can."

Dad grabbed me in a bear hug and said goodbye. Mom was waiting by the car. She just kissed my cheek and told me to be good and do whatever my uncle says. I got in the car and off we went.

I tried to chat with my uncle, but he's not exactly a chatty Cathy, so eventually I fell asleep. I don't know how long we drove, but I awoke to a nudge on my shoulder and Uncle Shota telling me that we had arrived.

I got out and looked at the house, hotel, mansion, castle? Who would live here? The front door opened and a short, fat man with long jet black hair in a braid, and bright black eyes came out. "Ah, Aizawa, I knew that one day you would need my help and here we are. How the mighty have fallen." Then he grabbed his enormous belly and laughed. Like a lunatic.

I gave Uncle Shota a hard side eye. This guy is supposed to help me? Seriously? Uncle Shota grimaced and grabbed our bags. "Come Faith, let us get this over and done." Oookkkaaayyy. I followed him and the little man inside, all the while wondering if my uncle has lost his mind.
