Human Nature Part 3

Chapter 3 ~ The Carmichael's

I talked a few words with my uncle, and then a vicious aura came from my back. It was approaching really slowly.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"I see we have a guest Mr. Flame. Should I serve some tea?" a voice asked.
"Hahahaha, don't worry Lia, She's just a friend of mine. She works at my place." said my uncle.
"Greetings Ms. Carmelia. My name is Rosalind Carmichael, it's a pleasure to meet you!" she said politely.
"Ah yes. My name is Carmelia Madine. Flame Madine's niece. Nice to meet you too." I answered.
Rosalind smiled. "I should prepare the tea now." she said.
"Yes. Please make me your special coffee, I'm not in the mood for tea now, Rosalind." said my uncle.
"Right away, sir." she answered. She left the room and headed towards the kitchen.
"Who was that?" I asked my uncle.
"Rosalind Carmichael. A teenage girl. She almost died once until I saved her life by healing her wounds. She wanted to work under me and learn about medication so she could save many people lives." he answered.
"Oh." I said.
A few minutes later, Rosalind entered my uncle's office and put down the tray with a cup that was full of tea and a mug that was full of coffee. I said thank you to her and drank the warm tea. She left the room to put the tray in the kitchen. My uncle was yawning. He was tired, well not exactly, probably he's just lazy and doesn't want to do the paper work by himself.
Rosalind entered the office and sat next to me.
" Ms. Rosalind." I said.
"Yes?" she answered.
"What is your last name again?" I asked.
"Carmichael." she answered.
Buffft....I spitted some of the tea from my mouth.
"What? Carmichael? Isn't that Michael's last name?" I said.
Rosalind looked at me. She looked surprised, she almost laughed. She smiled and looked at me.
"I see, you have met my brother. I think he will be pretty dozed-off when he meets a cute girl like you." said Ms. Rosalind with a smile.
"Ah, don't worry, He wasn't like that at all when he met me. He was all like a gangster or something, hahaha." I said, I tried to make him look good in front of Ms. Rosalind.
"Really now? I guess he must have liked you a lot. Wow, my little brother.....in love." said Rosalind. My face turned red-hot. I blushed like I never have been. My heart was pumping hard as Ms. Rosalind said those words. I became silent.
"Miss Rosalind, what is the relationship between you and Michael?" I asked her.
"We're siblings. We had a good relationship, too. But after 'that day' Michael has been acting weird. He's been traveling everywhere ever since 'that day'. He didn't care about himself, He only cared about others." said Ms. Rosalind, she looked really worried.
I sipped my tea, little by little Ms. Rosalind told me her story.
"His condition." she said. "He never cared about his condition. It rally never slipped his mind, not even little." she said.
My uncle kept working on his paper work, even though he hated it. I talked to my uncle that i will stay here until I can find a way to return to my world. He agreed to it.
"Uncle?" I said.
"Yes. What is it?" he asked.
"Did you get dragged to this world as well?" I asked.
'Yes." he answered.
"Do you wanna go back to our world?" I asked.
My uncle started to stand up. He looked out the window and started to sigh.
"No. No, I won't" he answered.
"Why?" I asked.
"If I return now, everyone will be surprised for my disappearance. And I won't be able to fit in again if I return." he said while looking out the window and smiled at me. I sat there in silence. I can't even say a word. I stood up and turned around, I walked towards the door and opened it.
"Where are you...." said my uncle.
"I'm just going to my room, don't worry about me, uncle. I'll be fine by myself and I need a time for myself to think." I answered. I closed the door and headed upstairs to my room.
