 "See you later, bro. Just don't worry about the kids, I'll take care of them"

"Alright, Lissa– See you later guys. Daddy loves you!"

    Laura and Rubin took the left pavement,leading to the bus stop to catch the early morning bus which travels along the route to their school– Laura kept fretting behind him which made her look a little funny. He secretly glanced at her and smiled to himself, almost with a chuckle. She instinctively glanced up at him and caught him in the act."Why are you laughing? " She asked, pausing in her steps. He instinctively put on a straight face and turned his gaze away from her.Strategically clearing his throat, he answered. " Nothing– I think we should pace up now else we'll miss the bus "With that, he sauntered ahead of her. Laura tilted her head with a sceptical gaze as she stared at his back.

    Rubin scoffed with a sceptical gaze as he settled in his desk with his eyes tailing after her while she approached Fred and Patrick's desk."Is she really serious about this?" He mumbled with feigned confusion, just then, a tap on his shoulder drew his attention."Hey, Rubin –Can I get your history test book?" Raina asked, a broad smile spread through her face. He nodded with a smile and rummaged through his bag for it."Huh, here" He handed it over to her to which she mumbled her thanks and spontaneously returned to her desk. Swiftly turning his gaze back to Alixies, he stuttered."What's up with her?" He shook his head in perplexity, his eyes glued on her. " Why the sudden interest in Ben this morning– thought she was going to ask about Laura instead" He mumbled on an impulse. With a fixed gaze, he stared on with keen interest.

" He loud whispered to which she spontaneously replied."Need to run now – got an urgent issue to attend to. Kindly pass by the house with my bag after class, okay? Please.""Is it about that message?" He asked on an impulse. "Or still going after Ben?" With this Alixies sauntered off, ignoring his numerous questions."Hey!–But" He stuttered with his eyes tailing after her, his hand stretched out in an attempt to stop her but they were already few distance apart which made him pause in his words–letting out a faint groan of frustration.

Their thoughts went blank with absolutely nothing in mind-it was like a dead end for Mya. Laura's flushed gaze instinctively fixed on Mya's and she flinched."No, do something now, Mya ---you must not be seen here" Laura mumbled and Mya fidgeted as if she could actually hear her sister's warning.

    Hansel sauntered out of the car and Alixies who watched from a distance stuttered in disbelief~ her jaw stiffened as the words faintly escaped her lips. " Mr Hansel?"She gasped and this grew her curiosity the more." Why is he here ?" She thought but then, a thought hinted which shoved off the other- her eyes instinctively widened as they involuntarily bated. " Did they already call for a ransom for his head?" She mumbled. But then, something else caught her attention which gave life to her previous thought; the man guarding the entrance spontaneously bowed his head in respect the moment Hansel trod past him.'' What the hell is going on here" She exclaimed and as if on an impulse, added. "Nothing seem to add up~ I must find out what all this is about" . After Hansel had faded in with the man at the entrance, Alixies hastened down as well and crept in through the only source of entry which her quick survey had proven."Where did you keep him?"

Do you think i'm gonna give up so easily?" He chuckled. " No~" He added on an impulse. " Did you really think your brother committed suicide? and Elosie, his fiancee... huh?"

    Tarry not towards the end,Await and appreciate,As you are now,Your sorrow and your joy,Each defines a part of you.Confining you not,To the Limitations of life.Await for yourself,Yet, a new hope,That lingers not in the tribulations of Life,Conforming one to the fraternities of it,And leaving them ajar to the cruelties yet unseen.Rather,Guard yourselves with the bleeding truth,Which suffers in it's own way,But yet still harbors great luxuries.Its tenacities are grave,But reviving to the core,Leaving no elements untouched,And no brooding unanswered.It serves as another urge,That keeps the world revolving.

Mya pressed but Laura's answer just remained the same with a nod." Hey... is everything okay ?" Amy queried just when she closed upon them, taking note of the scene that seem unpleasant and alarming." Yes, mum... you know I hate the scent of hospitals~ I guess it had begun its effects on me after the numerous stay here. Can we go now?"

Laura.....?" She called in a near whisper, her eyes widened in disbelieve. " Is...that...you, Laura?" She asked with teary eyes and Laura cheerfully nodded with a broad smile." Yes...

Have you already met Alixies ?"His lips pursed in despair while his gaze spontaneously traveled down to his feet as the question rang in his ears.
