"Clean up this mess. And open the vault. My son wants his mother."

One unlocked door. I wonder which one will walk in first.

Waiting to see. if we would answer again. ✨

Then reached for the next file. Opened it. The door opened.

"It is not." I opened the email.

"Buzz.. Buzz.." Ryu was woken up by the doorbell ringing. He reached for his phone and checked the time, it was only nine in the morning. He was supposed to wake up around two in the afternoon. After drinking out with Nato last night, he wouldn't even bother to eat breakfast. He wondered if he had any deliveries or anyone coming over but he was still too sleepy to even bother thinking. "Buzz.. Buzz.." He heard the doorbell ring again and that's when he decided to get out of bed. Ryu went out of his room and is struggling to open his eyes to the brightness coming from the windows.

"Open wide." Kill me.

Not close at all. ***

Ruby tried explaining-but with the way things were, nick looked totally confused. "Ok, boy. That's enough. However, I actually came here to warn you. You have three supernatural powers which you inherited from me. I am a very great grandma of yours. I'm in the seventeenth line of your family generation. I know you may not understand. But however, your powers are: one-the ability to see ghosts. Two- you have a special word which you can say anytime to get out of trouble but you will later get to know the word as you grow. And three- I wouldn't tell you now. You might disclose it to other people. And like I said, you will get to know it as you grow."

he chuckled but I nodded. "You might be right" I answered but he looked at me in disbelief. "I was kidding, Lil." he deadpanned. "I know but even a broken clock's right twice a day. We should be more open with each other. Tell each other what we are really feeling not just react. I should tell you when I'm scared of letting you in because it makes me feel vulnerable." I said and he nodded. "Yeah and I'll tell you that I'm scared instead of just getting angry." he offered.
