Novel & Cerita Family Doesn't End With Blood

"Hear that? Your mom is simply reaping what she sowed. This has nothing to do with me—" I didn't even get to finish speaking when Jonathan suddenly shoved me hard. "Even if my mom did this, can't you just let it go? Don't you know how to respect your elders? Especially since she's your future mother-in-law! We're all family, so do you have to be so damn petty?" I stumbled back at the force of his shove. If it weren't for the officer catching me in time, I would've likely tumbled down the stairs.

Broken. Bloody. But finally, undeniably, a family.

We had our family now: no magic, no ancestors, no reapers. The End

In that last second, I saw my mother watching television nearby. She just glanced over with a look of pure indifference. She did not care if I lived or died. My body was flung through the window and struck the icy ground below. I froze solid on the way down, and my body shattered when I landed. My blood was frozen. Before I lost consciousness, I saw my own mangled remains scattered across the ice. In the frozen apocalypse, my own family killed me and ended my miserable life. This time, I would not make the same mistake twice.

Alison Pov.. After 5 years.. A lot of things happened in our family but it was fun and interesting at the end of the journey. At least we have learned from it and know how to deal in the future. We can't also inevitably stop our family keeps on growing as well. It just started with me wanting to be loved and love with revenge until we find our branches and learned that a big family was better. It doesn't matter if it's by blood or not related as long as you know the value of love and family. We become family as we trust and love each other no matter what.

“Not just find Dad and our brother. End The Community. For good.” First time any of us had put it that plain. Not escape. Not win one fight. End them. Dane was watching her with this look, pride mixed with worry, maybe a little awe. “She’s right,” he said after a beat. “This isn’t only about family anymore. If they’ve been hunting the bloodline for decades, killing whoever’s in the way, they won’t quit. Not till they get what they want, or someone makes them.” “So we make them,” I said.

"To a daughter who doesn't know him? To a woman who rebuilt her life without him?" "To his family." Owen looks back over his shoulder. "Whether you've accepted that or not." "He gave up that right." "Family isn't about rights." His voice hardens. "It's about blood. And Ava has his blood, Elena. That doesn't change just because you'd prefer it did." He walks to his car, steady strides, eyes fixed ahead. The doorway frame is solid under my hands. Cold. The stuffed dragon sits on the railing, purple scales catching morning light.

"Don't blame Connie, Mom. It's my fault. I have caused you so much trouble. I shouldn't have taken the coat from her…" Before she finished, Dad grabbed me and slammed me to the ground. He roared, "A cold-blooded thing like you doesn't deserve to live in this loving family!" I cried and begged him to stop. But the more I cried, the more he was convinced that I felt no remorse. His claws landed harder and harder. Mom and Nathan stood at a distance, their faces indifferent. It was as if I weren't part of the family, just a filthy rogue they didn't recognize.

His voice was firm, She smiled back at him, swearing solemnly to protect this family with all she had. Family doesn't always have to be related by blood, these people were hers, and the ones related by blood may not always be right. The End.

"I could hurt her baby. Right now. I could make her feel what I feel. What it's like to lose everything." David moved closer to me. Emma had her phone up, still recording. And I stood very still, holding Isabella, looking at my cousin who'd helped destroy my childhood. "You could," I said quietly. "You could try. But you'd have to get through all of them first. David. Emma. Maria. Detective Chen. My entire family. All the people who chose to show up for me." I shifted Isabella slightly. "You don't have that, Sophie. You never did. Because you never learned that family isn't about blood or inheritance or who deserves what. It's about choice. About showing up. About love."
