Cooled Down

Emma decided to stay silent rather than to argue with her anymore. "Wow! What's that?" She asked pointing at the golden container, intending to break the awkward silence. "Ummm- water?!" Kett replied. "No, I mean this container." She said taking it into her hands. "Woah! it's so heavy. Is this pure gold?" She questioned curiously. "I guess so." Kett replied, not even looking at Emma. "What do you mean you guess so? Isn't this yours?" Asked Emma suspiciously. "Well I think it's mine but I don't know where it came from." "Oh! how come you got hold of this thing then?" "It's like I just rubbed my hands together and it appeared outta thin air maybe?" Kett replied, quite unsure about the result. "Kett, are you alright? U sound so odd." Emma was sounding so dearly as she said so. "I'm fine. So I'm Kett now?" Her sarcasm filled the air. "Ofcourse you are. Are u telling me that you didn't know your name for the past 16 years?" Emma asked, smiling. "Honestly I knew my name very well until you turned up calling me something else." Kett went on, her cold tone unaffected by Emma's smiling face. "Something else? When did i call you Something else?" Emma asked, surprised. "Well, you started in the mortury and continued ever since." "Wait what mortury? Dang girl I think you should go meet that psychiatrist again." She said in a friendly manner. "I'm not going loony you idiot." Kett burst out. "Yeah I can see that." Emma said sarcastically. "Okay now, if you think I just made this whole thing up, then you ought to have an explanation about what we're doing so late in this kind of a place." "I don't know about you, but I came here to see your parents." "My parents? Here?" Asked Kett. "Yes, you once told me that they were burried in the graveyard of mistle-stop. Haven't you?" Now it was Kett's turn to get baffled. "Oh look who's going mad now. I didn't even know this type of a place before and not both my parents are dead. Plus what made you wanna see them so urgently that you decided to travel so far this late at night?" She questioned. "Apparently my idiotic best friend went missing for a few days with no contact or message. Literally it was just me thinking that I might find her in here, which I did as you can see. So it was basically a quest to search up for a stupid four year old." Emma went on saying that in a single breath in a way which brought a faint smile on Kett's face. Seeing the environment cooled down, Emma took use of her opportunity and spoke up. "Now if all your controversies are over can we just stop this nonsence and move on? Cause graveyards are probably not among the types of places which I'd wish to hang around in so later at night." "But-" kett opened her mouth to argue but thought better of it. "There's no point telling her anything anymore. I may just let her keep on with her story until I'll find a proper explanation for this. Or maybe she is right. I should try going to that doctor again." She was in the depths of her own thinking when Emma shook her up. "Oh hello! What's to think so much?" "Alright let's go." They walked out of the graveyard along the silent pathways holding hands in the mild moonlight.
