"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." I say brightly, glad that there is a small part of my gift that's useful and available on demand. "I can see gifts, that's how I know which ones to take and stuff, so it shouldn't be to hard for me to track her based on that."
I close my eyes and cover my face with my hands so I can focus. It's a huge disadvantage, having to close my eyes every time I start my gift, but I can't do anything half as well if I keep them open. As soon as the sun spots on my eyelids clear up bright sparks of light appear all around me. That's Alucard and April. A bit farther away is Emily, who's gift is blinking on an off. For a moment I get a glimpse of the bigger picture... and it's not that big. My sixth sense hits a brick wall and bounces back at me, but not before I feel my hands and feet go numb.
I open my eyes, shivering slightly. I suddenly feel fine again, but we're obviously not in the middle of something benevolent. "Alright, you're adopted daughter-person is only a few blocks that way." I point to the left. "And she's drunk as a dog, so I guess you better plan out your 'wait 'till your 21' speech on the way there."

"Thank you, Cass.." Alucard growled as he handed April the bags filled with clothes. "I'll be back in a moment, with Emily." With that, he stalked off in the direction Cassidee had pointed. On he walked, until he became a red speck, until disappearing completely as he rounded a corner. And there Emily was, holding a vodka bottle. Alucard frowned in disappointment and anger.
"Emily!" he shouted, walking up to her. He snatched the bottle away from her and threw it against the wall, so that it shattered into several pieces, spilling its remaining contents on the sidewalk. She'd been testing the ends of his patience all evening. "You're in big trouble. Why did you run off like that!? You scared poor April to death, and me too. And now you've gotten yourself drunk! You're underage, Emily. For you to drink that much at your age is bad for your health!"

Emily giggled and traced figures in the air with her finger and than said "Bye bye." she said as she waved to her imaginary thing she'd made in the air. She looked up at Alucard and smiled happily. "Hi Hi Dada." she mused happily. All she heard come out of his mouth was a bunch of slow motion, and jibbing. She laughed. "Hehe, Daddy Funny."

"Alright." April murmured, taking the bags and watching Alucard leave. Then she turned to Cass, "So, this is where you disappeared to. Lynn was pretty worried about you."

Alucard ignored her as he hoisted the four year old over his shoulder. There wasn't a point trying to reason with someone who was drunk. But when she was sober, that would be a completely different story. "Yeah..real funny," Alucard replied, and started walking back.

Emily giggled some more "Weeee, I'm flyingggg!" she said and began to wave her arms in large cycles.

I grimace, remembering the abhorrent concert. "Right. It wasn't like I had any choice in leaving." I bite my lip, feeling guilty for freaking out like that and making people worry, but not guilty enough to not feel defensive.

"Oh, don't worry, no one's blaming you." April reassured her hurriedly. She hadn't meant to offend her or anything. When she finally spotted Emily and Alucard, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, you're back, thank god. Emily, you scared me so mu- is she drunk?" April queried, staring at Emily.

"Well, she's definitely not sober.." Alucard replied. Once he got closer, he put Emily down, sighing. He wasn't sure how much longer he could do this without totally loosing it.

"Hmm. We have a choice. We could leave her here, and give ourselves some peace and quiet to figure out why we're here, or we could bring her along and let her drive us crazy. If only those were the choices." April sighed, only half joking. "Come on, we'd better take her back...home. Wanna come, Cass?"
