Luca was put in a special room. He looked down languidly as he recalled the stupidity he had done to Malia. If his family had come and acted too late, Malia might have been killed.
He was grateful for that, and at the same time he felt ashamed because he still couldn't control himself well. Like his brother and sister, so is his mother, Rosalie. One by one the members of the Argent Family left the isolation room. Each of them closed the three layers of doors that protected the room. But soon someone came back and opened the door one by one. Then closed it again and stood straight in front of Luca while folding her arms. "Follow me!" Leona said. "I never agreed every time you asked to be locked up like this." she continued. "You have to practice, Luca!" Luca looked up, staring at his sister who seemed so towering in front of him.Leona looked more serious than usual. She stomped her right foot as she stretched out her
It was clear that Luca felt scared every time he saw the significant change in Leona's irises. Luca knew very well, since Leona had been holding back her anger just so that Luca could talk to her comfortably.Unfortunately, Leona's efforts were in vain. Luca instead chose to remain silent even when he wanted to say something. And now, either almost or really angry. Leona's bright red irises were burning in Luca's eyes. Wretched.Luca seemed to have to surrender if indeed Leona would spill her annoyance right then and there. Then before Leona acted, Luca had first stretched out his hands in front of Leona resignedly. It's all up to Leona. Luca resigned if he had to get punishment from his older sister."Follow me! Looks like you really should start training with grandpa, Luca!" Leona exclaimed.Leona immediately pulled one of Luca's outstretched hands in front of her.Leona sped off, bringing Luca back to where they lived, across the
"Truth or dare!" Archie exclaimed as he raised his right hand high.Ash, Gabe and Lyla were shocked when they heard Archie's cry which sounded like a call to war.How come? At that time the four of them were struggling with a pile of books and stationery respectively. They are in the middle of a group study activity. Everyone was completely focused on their own work, and Archie was the only person starting to seem bored with the silence they had created forty-five minutes ago.Archie had been trying hard to contain his sleepiness and boredom. However, it seemed that his efforts had been defeated by his jaws trying to get him to let out a loud steam."Hoaaammmz!" Archie yawned as he spread his arms out. And accidentally hit Ash and Lyla's head who was sitting on his right and left side.The two of them put their writing utensils down hard. Simultaneously. While throwing a sharp gaze full of
After parking his motorbike in a hidden place, not far from the entrance to the forest, Ash ran briskly towards the usual route he and Leona took to the cabin. The place where they spend time together.As expected. Leona was at the front of the cabin, sitting in her usual spot. The second rung has always been Leona's favorite place. She deliberately rested her arms slightly on stair number four, the top rung of the ladder that merges with the front floor of the cabin.She changed her sitting position when she realized Ash was there. Her eyebrows were raised up, making the bases seem almost together. Confused.Leona didn't seem to have called or even told anyone that she would be coming to the cabin to be alone like now.Ash would always come to her with a slightly bent face, as if he was worried about something."Are you alright?" Ash asked a little worriedly.Ash settled himself on the same steps Leona had chosen
"Are you interested in hearing the story, Ash?" Leona asked with emphasis on the first three words. "I do." Ash said confidently. Leona took the time to turn her head, looking into Ash's eyes, looking for the sincerity of the words he said earlier. "Don't women always need a man who wants to hear all the stories?" there was not the slightest doubt from Ash's question. As if he had said that sentence quite often, he even seemed to know very well how to make girls believe his words. Including Leona. She gave a small nod in response."Then we head—" Before Leona could answer, Ash had already cut in. As if she knew what Leona would say next. "Dash doesn't count for sightseeing, Leona." cut off Ash while embracing Leona's waist as Leona was about to dash. The girl let out a resigned sigh as Ash tried to stop her. Five seconds later she lowered her gaze, looking at Ash's hands still
"I-I... T-that.. Out of my control." Leona stutters.She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to recall some of the moments she had spent with Damien. Leona shook her head quickly as she opened her eyes in one jolt as some bad things flashed through as she thought things over."Never mind. That was my biggest mistake." Leona whispered."Did you like it?" investigate Ash."Who?" Leona raised an eyebrow."Damien." said Ash."That was my biggest mistake, Ash!" Leona shrieked angrily.Silence. Neither Ash nor Leona, both fell silent after the scream earlier. They just stared at each other with slightly shaking eyes."If you had to do it one more time. Would you like it again?" Again Ash couldn't keep his curiosity hidden.Leona shrugged her shoulders along with the resigned sigh that she accidentally let out again. Rea
Malia stared blankly at the all-white bathroom ceiling. Every now and then she closed her eyes, feeling the warmth that ran all over her skin surface. The lavender scent from the several candles lit in the room really felt so calming. For a moment she felt so missed the figures of her late mother and father.Usually, her parents would panic when she was in the bathroom for too long, especially when she almost fell asleep in the bath tub like she was doing right now. Her mother and father would lecture at length every time she lingered in the bathroom. They say that the bathroom is the favorite place of the invisible creatures. And lingering in the bathroom is not recommended.Malia submerged her head in the water, trying to keep her tears from falling without being asked. A flash of bad memories also flashed. She remembers very well what happened to her entire family. Her mother, father, as well as her two younger siblings died horribly while she was strugg
That morning, a few hours after breakfast, Leona and her mother, Rosalie, and Malia decided to gather in the backyard just to chat while enjoying a cup of tea with their respective favorite aromas.Rosalie took a sip of her roselle tea while closing her eyes as the fragrance wafted over and overtook her sense of smell. Rosella tea or red tea is one of Rosalie's favorite drinks. Ah no. It seemed that all red drinks were Rosalie's favorite. All the members of the Argent family knew that. Including Malia.Rosalie opened her eyes again with a smile as she felt her body so refreshed after sipping and inhaling the aroma of the tea. Rosalie put her clear cup on the table, then turned all her attention to the two girls who were sitting in silence while dreaming with their teacups perfectly gripped in each other's hands."So... Wanna talk with me?" Rosalie opened the chat.These two girls turned around while flashing a smile at Rosalie who had smil
"Let me and Luca follow Leona." said Loui as Rosalie was about to leave, leaving Malia trying to reach for her teacup.Without waiting for confirmation from Rosalie, Loui rushed after Luca who was far ahead. Loui knew, Rosalie would entrust everything to him as well as Luca.It didn't take long for the two to meet Leona. The girl was sitting leaning against a large tree while hugging her knees."Go home." Loui's brief command managed to blur Leona's thoughts.She turned and looked at the two men who were standing in front of her alternately. Loui's face looked fresh as usual, in contrast to Luca who looked too pale; not like usual."Let us go home!" take Leona to both of them. There was a slight tremor in the sentence of the invitation.How not, Leona looked worried when she saw Luca's face that looked so pale. Too pale. Leona stretched out her right hand to Luca which she warmly welcomed."Hey, Loui!" Leona called to Lo
