"Welcome to Metropolitan museum of Art. I'm Joshua, your tour guide" the tour guide said to the three of them before winking at the 13 year old girl.The three of them nodded, expecting the tour to begin. It quite began as if if he had read their minds."Joshua, is that not Mary Cassatt's painting on young Mother sewing?" Mia asked, still holding unto Lola's left hand."Yes, this is Mary Cassat's painting on young Mother sewing 1900. In this painting you can see the mother of the girl is seated, with her child perched on her mother's knee as she does her sewing. This...""We have eyes Mr Joshua, can you just explain the meaning?" Lola retorted, getting sick of being told what she was seeing with her own two eyes.A/N I so love paintings but later on began to know a painting's worth through it's meaning. I'm not drifting from the story line though but this chapter is for a reason., continue.The tour guide's eyes landed on the anxious girl before he continued without any offense."A lo
After the jostle in the car, he finally halted the car in front of a huge building in the woodland. No one would imagine the building was there except they were too curious.It's actually a sanctuary home which Raven had built for refugees that were attacked in a remote town by the werewolves or any places they had escaped from.They were able to get treatments and free food to survive on while most of them seemed to have their sons work with Raven since she was their life saver. Even females were volunteers for this kind of job.As she walked into the sanctuary upon the gate guards opening of the gates, she was greeted first by little chidren all holding books."Lady boss, you are welcome" a 13 year old girl the same height as Lola said approaching her."I see you guys are still having class, well done kids" She commended. It was no surprise seeing that the kids had access to home school and even with that, Raven gave them access to real school but boarding while some chose to go fro
Raven chuckled, grabbing the apple in the basket on a stool not far from her reach as she took a bite from the apple still looking at Delilah.“Your demon is gnashing and wailing out of anger and you know why?” Mia asked the puzzled lady still feeling the heatness of her demon's agony.Delilah's eyes blazed dark before it dawned on her that she was feeling her demon leaving her. “Raven, wh...""Shhh hush! My dear Delilah, can't you see I'm doing you a favor here hm?""No, you are killing me this way. If she leaves me then I will die. I'm supposed to be in hell with her" Delilah cried in pain."Trust me Delilah. Morgana lied to you. She's a demon and demons lie. That's their way of living in humans to the fullest. I am afraid I don't want her to exist here anymore" Raven said throwing the half eaten apple aside, rising from the seat too as she caressed the girl's cheek."She is gone and you are free"Delilah knew the demon was gone from her. She felt different just like she was when sh
When he was done eating, he kept bothering her to tell him about the things going on in her school. She told him she was just spying for the meantime.However, she didn't leave the bullying part aside because he was trustworthy enough to know. "You mean you let them bully you all for a mission? Mia, I think this is the height of it" he pointed out.She chuckled lightly going over to his side with a beaming smile that could ease anyone's worries. "It isn't anything that I can't handle. Besides, I'm immune to pain now owing that the pain of years ago has taught me a lot. I may appear weak before them but I'm a slow poison in the dark. Trust your pumpkin"He shook his head and just then the door was pushed open revealing their parents."Dad! Look who's here" Mia rushed over to them"Is that who I think it is?" Mrs Carson was flabbergasted."Yes mom, it's me Henry. I'm very much alive" he said watching the look of sadness that brushed up on her face.Mr Carson: unbelievable! We all thoug
The morning sun perched on Mia's face through the window as usual as she stood up and pulled up the binds staring through the window where she spotted two kids.One was older and she was a girl of about ten, she was trying to defend her little brother from the street bullies, assume so."Your brother rode his bike over our toys" The first bully gushed out."Why put toys in the way? Sister, they wanted me to trip and crash into the tree" the younger boy cried.The sister hushed him trying to examine things, she may be younger but she was at least a year older than the leader of the bullies."You hurt my brother one time, I give you double of it. You hurt him double, I give you double of it" the girl realized they were grinning and mocking at her with a laughter so she grabbed the leader by his hair."When next you touch my brother or lay a trap for him, I won't spare your ugly face at all" she was all fierce for a ten year old.A grin came on Mia's face as she took delight in watching
"There's a game, Mia" Lola cooed. She pulled Mia by her wrist to a rectangular glass box.Oh! such games where you have to play and win a toy or something."I want a pony" Mia said."Why's this in a sweets store?" Mia was puzzled."Because it's also the reason why kids would bring their momma to patronize them" She said "So, now would you win me a pony?""Haven't your brother won any for you?" Mia asked"He sucks at the game. One time he almost punched the glass in pieces.""That bad? Fine I'm a guru at this. I will win it for you" Mia said readying herself. She had played this before, not a new thing. Henry had taken her places when they were kids and they did played this a lot anytime she wanted new dolls and the likes.While Mia focused on winning the pony for the girl, someone was watching her secretly. "Here, a pony for Lola Leonardo" Mia said as the girl grabbed it happily."This is softer than it looks. I like it. In fact Mia, my brother is so wicked. He kept such a kind sis a
Next day was school. Valentino stopped by to wait for Mia to ready herself. While he waited, Mia was busy trying to pack her hair into a bun."Mia, here have this" Nanny said when she was finally done and set for school. She grabbed the lunch box from her."All set Val. Let's go" Mia said as Valentino stopped the game he was playing on his phone and said bye to nanny.The ride to school wasn't that long because the school wasn't so far. She hopped out of his car heading in to spot her class while he parked the car in the parking lot."Mia, the teachers are having a meeting and I'm the one in charge of monitoring everyone for now" Elvis came around to inform her."So, are we going to have our book reading club now?""Yeah, get ready. it's in 5 minutes""Okay" Mia said and watched him leave abruptly. She was about dropping her things in her locker when Rex and his new minions showed up."Ugly Mia is back in school. This is Monday, how about some entertainment?" Rex said"Rex, I don't wan
Mia allowed the nurse to take her in. She gave Mia a new change of clothes from the school tailor to wear and even made sure her hair was dried before she could commence the treatment. The blood was stopped first from flowing out before she began to tend to it as soon as possible.Somewhere, on a rooftop Rex was up there speaking with someone."I gave her so much cuts. Tonight we will see if she's truly the Raven we are on lookout for." Rex said to the person."How are we to make her show up?""Creating chaos" Rex said smiling after noting it was the best option at hand. Tonight after seeing she's Raven, they would ruin her once and for all.Mia realized that the nurse was now giving her a strange look."Nurse Tina, why are you looking at me like that?" Mia asked. For all she knew, the woman seemed to be focused on her forehead where the wound was."It just looks like you have two skin color" She blurted making Mia to panic. No! She was careless! No hospitals! No clinics!! These days
