That afternoon Leona and Malia spent their free time reading books in the small library in their house.
They have been doing that for the past three days. Schools were deliberately closed because the streets were covered in snow due to a big storm that occurred a few days ago.
During those three days Leona tried hard to change her bad words with kind words or keep her mouth shut when she couldn't find the right words to say. Once Leona cursed, one by one, her favorite things would be burned by Malia – nothing left – according to her agreement. Malia accidentally heard a small argument between Leona and Ash. Ah, actually it wouldn't be right if it was called overhearing. Because the volume of Leona and Ash's voice at that time was loud enough, so that Malia and Archie and Gabe could hear all their conversation clearly. Malia heard clearly that Ash ask"Leona!""Haish! Sh-" Leona rubbed her face when suddenly Rosalie appeared in front of her."You almost swore, my dear." Rosalie teased while pointing her right index finger in front of Leona."Mom. Come on! Don't try to make things difficult for me." Leona whined.Rosalie chuckled at the little whimper of her daughter. She gave her a faint nod as she gently stroked the top of Leona's head. "Meet Ash for a bit, it seems he has something important to talk to you about.""I have to hunt, ma'am." said Leona annoyed."You can hunt after you finish your business with Ash." suggested Rosalie. "Or... Maybe, Ash came here knowing this was your hunting schedule?"Leona turned around while rolling her eyes when she caught the seductive gaze of her mother. She let out an annoyed chuckle and sped off leaving Rosalie alone behind there."Love you too, Leona." Rosalie muttered with her trad
"Help me and Loui. Mom asked us to make cream soup for her." said Luca to Leona.Leona rolled her eyes in annoyance as she straightened her slightly messy clothes, then got up from her seat. "Okay. I'll help you." Leona replied resignedly.Luca's arrival at the library brought Malia a bit of a breath of fresh air. Malia felt so hungry and was getting bored. But because she had promised to accompany and help Leona control all her emotions, Malia couldn't just leave her alone.However, when Leona was about to catch up with Luca who had left the room first, Malia suddenly stopped Leona's movement. "Let me do it for you, Leona. Seems someone will come and wanted to see you." Malia swiftly ran out after Luca.When Malia almost reached the kitchen, suddenly Luca sped up and stood in front of her. "Hey! Where are you going?" Luca folded his arms – staring at the girl."I- I... want to help you and Loui." answer Malia.
That morning, the Argent Family's residence seemed quieter than usual. Almost all of the inhabitants went hunting into the forest, except for Luca and Malia. They were still struggling with thick blankets in their respective rooms."Ugh!" Malia stretched her body to the left side, then rolled to the right side while extending her right hand to the side table, groping all over the top surface, looking for her favorite flat object which for some time had been lying face down on the fur carpet beside the bed.The girl squirmed again as she lowered her tiny legs from the bed. She groaned again when her right foot accidentally stepped on the object she had been looking for. "Ouch!" She shouted angrily.Malia immediately lifted her leg, then bent down and lifted her cellphone from the carpet. She checked some messages that came into her cellphone, but suddenly a red liquid slipped out of one of her nostrils.Immed
BUKH!Malia bounces. She fell to her knees when her tiny body managed to hit someone who was also running from the other direction. The girl shrieked as she rubbed her buttocks as she managed to get up and stand up straight again."Why are you running, huh?" Leona asked.She was surprised when she caught the strange behavior that Malia was showing to her. It was unusual for Malia to act suspiciously like that. There must be something. Leona thought.Malia raised her gaze. Staring at someone who was standing tall with a towering body in front of her. She chuckled as Leona folded her arms and looked at her questioningly."Need someone to talk to, right?" Leona asked.Malia nodded doubtfully. She immediately brought her legs to follow Leona who had walked first to her room. The two girls sat side by side on the edge of the bed. Then simultaneously both of them lay down on their res
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
