"Father, I am home.." They said, the door slightly making an uneasy creaking noise as they opened it slowly.  "father? tulip? hm.. I wonder where they've gone off to.." they said, exploring the empty farm house. they look outside the window, seeing their family chattering by the hay farm.

They step outside to where their family had stood by. They all sound worried, angry, even. Sirk walks in to the scene. "what's going on??" They asked, looking at everyone.

Martha, their mother, answered ".. your father has passed, I fear.."

... everything went silent, all you could hear was the sound of hay rustling together as the wind blew. Sirk decides to break the silence "... what?.." they, horrified. sirk looks around; they eventually spoke, "what happened??" they try to maintain their composure.

Martha answers, "He had an heart attack. and your uncle is willing to take over the farm, if that's alright to everyone."

Lisa, the sister of Martha, exclaimed, "of course it's not alright! he's a madman margareth, can't you see that?!", seemingly furious.

Nancy, the sister of Bennet[whom is seemingly sirk's father], declares, "Now, now, Lisa.. keep your composure. Bennet willingly agreed to give the farm to neal[the uncle] if sirk is not an adult yet by the time he is demised. sirk is only thirteen, Lisa. if Neal wont be taking care of the farm, who will?"

Lisa, scoffing "Oh hush, Nancy! he could've chose anyone else! if anything, even scott can take care of the farm!"

"Lisa, you do descry that scott is still fifteen, yes?" nancy interrogated with a raised eyebrow. sudden silence before lisa replies with a hint of furor in her voice, "I suppose you are right.." she intersects her arms, looking away with a snarl.

martha turns to sirk "what about you, my dear?... do you think this is a good idea?"

sirk snuffles, responding with an "i suppose aunt nancy is correct.. there is a very half-pint of a chance that anyone else will take over the farm.."

Harper, a cousin from margareth's side "well, then that settles it.."

Scott nods.

back to present because orien interrupted,

"what's so bad about this 'neal' guy?"

sirk turns to him, responding with an,

"well lets just say that.."

".. he's a murderer."

orien spits out the porridge in his mouth due to the unanticipated news.

"he's a WHAT?!"

Oh and heavy reminder Neal isn't related to anyone in the yarrow family!
