The satisfaction I had felt after having made a fool of Dominieck, was priceless for which I can say that without a doubt if I had the opportunity to live all this that has touched me again, I would repeat it in such a way that I would go through the same circumstances over and over again until I reach such moments.
Yes... I admit, I know it was wrong to have put him through such shame, but no one could have imagined that he would react in that way with such such a whine, which gave a perfect touch to the situation, in addition to making it undoubtedly an unforgettable moment.
Taken by the laughter that at that moment I was trying to hide while I was advancing along that path, I finished climbing the hill completely alone, keeping prudence above all; relaxed once I calmed down, I approached the uncles, Lyall and Lina who, laughing, although also conversing, was waiting for us.
"I see them and I can't believe it, they are both the living example of the relationship that your grandparents have, Emma" commented Aunt Susan once I was close enough.
"As he said "question once you hear it.
"That you and Dominieck are the living example of the beautiful, but difficult-to-understand relationship that Eliot and Linsey have. "
"Aunt Susan, do you recognize me or did Uncle Lombardi convince you to speak to me with such familiarity so that there was no doubt in my mind that you know about me" I muttered when I was taken by surprise to notice how quickly she had recognized me without even I had introduced myself to her.
"Emma... no, because you say that, look at me it's me, and I would never forget you you know it well, even if the years go by and our appearance were to change I would not, so I would be able to recognize you above heaven and earth. "
He commented on that one in the first instance while his face was disfigured a little by sadness after listening to me, meanwhile, he continued to say.
"I certainly could not do it, I refuse to do it, I refuse to forget how you played in the great Robinson house back in Venice while we pretending to be children followed you, I remember how you laughed and jumped everywhere full of joy full of light; you were a spoiled naughty to whom we undoubtedly gave all our love. "
The aunt replied that one without delay and continued before even allowing me to say any more words.
"But I know that with a few simple words like these you could not convince yourself and I understand you completely; although I am aware that I remember everything about you and our lives in that great city. "
Dominieck by that time finished approaching and placed himself right next to me, ready to listen to what was going to be said next, which I imagine would settle his curiosity about me a little.
The aunt immediately noticing that she had our full attention, took her right hand to her left arm and tried to move the sleeves of her dress away, thus seeking to discover the area from the shoulder to the forearm, which was a little difficult for the length of these.
An element that she was wearing the dress was wonderful, therefore, it shone before its details, although even so, the aunt was not able to overshadow the main piece.
That dress was fitted at the top from the chest which allowed them to dazzle a little the neckline to the waist that framed her figure perfectly.
On the back, it consisted with the prescience of a few simple strips of fabric knotted in the form of a bow which the one was adjusted to the lower back area leaving it visibly uncovered throughout the upper part, while the sleeves had some loose ruffles quite loose that gave such an element a touch of freshness and why not of an obvious comfort.
On the other hand, the skirt had an average length not beyond the height of the knees and a little tight at the hips, but even so the final part of the skirt maintained a little of the style of the sleeves, and both this and the outfits of everyone present there were characteristic for shining above all the white color in almost all its extension.
Once I managed to discover that area of her arm, Aunt must "I could never forget those eyes, because as you observe me now with sadness and fear, you did it the day the accident happened so today I wear this scar, I remember that moment as if it had been yesterday.
I indicate that woman before starting with such a narrative, before the eyes of others and unaware of me, because, although I was aware that this could be a risk for me seeing that everything had taken a clear and precise course which undoubtedly was going to reveal something of my story I preferred to wait, therefore, to notice that it was first of all what such a woman was going to reveal without intervening.
On her bare shoulder, in full view of everyone, three visibly deep scars could be observed, which undoubtedly had been made by the claws of some animal that undoubtedly attacked her, so once she realized that we had all seen such an image, I emphasize.
"Less than a week ago that you Eliot, Linsey, and your Emma had arrived in Venice, even at that time you remained alien to Martin and me so you refused to approach because of the fear, indifference, and distrust that you felt against us," he commented while his voice felt breaking at such a memory.
"You remember Emma, I hope so" she took a deep breath as she tried to hold back her emotions before continuing talking "that day had undoubtedly been a long day and your little one, you had been having several episodes of fever which Linsey explained that it was because your wolf part was trying to mature forcibly, no longer feeling held back...
That woman looked at me as if the fear of that day was again lodged in her and could even be visible to me through her eyes and how her body tensed so I felt how she undoubtedly broke from within.
"I remember that you were lying down and that out of nowhere you had a very strong crisis not very soon we entered the bedroom after wanting to try to see how you were, after a few seconds you woke up babbling while complaining about nothing, such a reaction dominated you so much that even that one led you to transform and you started attacking us; you were so small, tiny I could say compared to your grandparents, but still you were a tremendous beast. "
His expressions for a moment on his face changed and became a little softer, while out of nowhere he began to smile.
"Your Emma, you were a she-wolf with completely black fur, which I had never seen, since Eliot and Linsey were the only wolves I knew and unlike you, they are white; despite this, you looked so adorable with those bright blue eyes with which you tried to look imposing, although you were only a puppy and fear could be seen drawn in your eyes, so guiding me by your image I trusted myself to therefore lower my guard.
The aunt moved her hand away from that sleeve and covered that scar again so placing herself firmly in her position she stood upright while joining her hands in front at the level of her belly maintaining her good manners and meanwhile the formality.
"I trusted myself, without a doubt I did it and you noticed it; you immediately realized you threw yourself at me, but no one was going to be able to tell you that at that moment I, a simple human would end up holding you despite the damage you could cause me, so while you were writing when you felt prey before losing consciousness again you stuck your claws in my arm, which you did for a few seconds before transforming back into a human. "
It was surprising that without a doubt I remembered that moment and with complete clarity unlike me who only had a single image framed in my head of that occasion which rather seemed just a collection of randomly arranged delays.
"I have few memories of that day," I replied, "except for the image that I keep before finally fading away, you were sitting on the floor with me in your arms holding me tightly, refusing to let go, while your eyes were wet with tears, a product of the pain you felt, but you still smiled at me.
"You know I cried, but not so much because of the pain I could feel, but because what caused me the most distress was the fact of seeing you so unprotected and so afraid, since after all and I emphasize it again you were just a girl, you were not to blame for what happened to you, much less for your present compartment because you were just scared, so you just had to give yourself time and fill yourself with love, since you needed to heal not only your body but also your soul. "
"You said it, right aunt, I needed to heal. "
That woman looked at me most attentively and sweetly as I never think that someone would have done it to me outside of the grandparents of course, although despite everything what stood out the most in them was curiosity.
"Tell me something Emma, before you fade away do you remember what you told me that day? "
"How to forget it I said "Sorry auntie"
Susan not too long ago opened her arms in the air, without a doubt she was quite excited to finally see me after so long so she didn't want to waste another second hugging me.
In response to her, I look at her face, two steps closer, and opens it tightly.
For a long time I had forgotten the feeling that those arms gave me since I always used to feel safe wrapped in such a show of affection that Aunt Susan and Grandmother Linsey used to give me more often than grandfather and uncle; since from those emanated a special warmth, so much that I could say that it was quite similar to the warmth that a mother alone is capable of giving.
"You don't know how much I miss you my little Emma or should I just call you Emma because looking at you well you are already a beautiful woman. "
"You and uncle know very well that you can call me whatever you like. "
Susan was excited completely ecstatic at such a surprise "you know, when Martín called me on the phone and told me that he had found you a few days ago I jumped out of complete excitement to hear him, I just couldn't believe it. "
"I didn't know they were here, if I had known before I would certainly have come to Belcier a long time ago, but you can't imagine how glad I am to be able to find them.
The aunt pulled me away from her, placed her hands on my shoulders, and commented "like no, Eliot and Linsey didn't tell you, because they knew perfectly well where to find us. "
"No, when you left, the only thing they told me was that you had moved to a nearby city, but they specifically didn't tell me which one, much less where you were and even less how to find you.
The aunt moved her hands away from me wanting to give me my space, maintaining first of all that expression of the doubt after knowing such words, but, even so, such a woman continued with that interrogation trying not to instill in my fear or doubt so that I would try to change the subject or simply refuse to speak.
"But if you didn't know we were here as you and Lombardi met. "
"I guess I can say that that was just luck, I got here after living abroad for a while and by chance, I ended up meeting Lina" I turned my head to observe that girl who was holding sweetly together by Lyall's hand, listening attentively
"Thanks to Lina and the help she gave me at a time when I was not feeling well financially I ended up meeting with the uncle, once this time I managed to get Martin to interview me for a job at the Gran Atlante and there the surprise was not long in coming, I owe her much more than you can imagine. "
I replied once while a smile full of tenderness formed in my mouth to see how Lina where she was sobbing to hear me talk like that about her person.
