It was already nighttime. The stars in the sky were all bright while cold air was blowing. Raven climbed over the wall with ease and landed on her feet, as Lance also jumped landing on his butt.
" Damn." He said under his breath in pain as Raven stretched her hand towards him. He quickly took it and got up as he also dusted his butt observing the area.
" This is trespassing." He stated.
" It's not like the owner can report us."
" But he can simply kill us!"
" You afraid of death?"
" No."
" Then what are you afraid of?"
" Pain during death."
" I will protect you."
Lance looked at Raven at loss of what to say and laughed." Please do protect me." He said.
In front of them was a majestic mansion.
" I bet restrooms in this mansion are the same size as my living room." Lance said staring at the mansion.
" Might even be bigger." Raven said calmly without care. Lance then shifted his gaze from the mansion and looked at her stopping in his tracks. Raven also stopped walking and gave him a questioning look as he immediately blurted out,
" Why would someone live in a house this big?"
" Just because you're poor doesn't mean anyone else is." Raven replied as she turned and continued walking forward.
" Who...is poor??? S- stupid amnesia." Lance said still standing in the same spot looking at Raven's back. He then followed her.
They pushed the doors open and inside the mansion was bodies lying down in their own blood and a young girl holding a knife with a creepy smile, staring at them without moving.The dress she was wearing was obviously as white as the snow before. But now it was painted with blood.
" God!" Lance exclaimed.
" Always late my daughter." Someone said in a calm beautiful voice from above. Lance immediately looked up and saw a man in black and a mask. Raven's gaze only remained fixed on the bodies with anger. She knew this voice very well. It belonged to that filthy creature,' the shadow master'.
" You BASTARD!!" She blurted out as she run to him aggressively attacking. At the moment that little hudow also attacked Lance who simply defeated her with one move. He then crossed his arms on his shoulder and carefully watched the fight going on above. Even though the shadow master wasn't even using a third of his power, he still had the upper hand while Raven who was putting everything she had in the fight seemed to be exhausted. Her hair and clothes were a flawless mess while her body was soon to be called the home of bruises. Lance didn't have any intention of joining the fight. First, the man seemed to be too strong and he didn't want any scratch on himself. Second, the fight seemed to be beautiful and it was a rare chance to witness something so beautiful.Third and last,it seemed to him,that the man in black wasn't had no intention to kill his opponent.
In the end, Raven was pushed down from above and Lance casually jumped and caught her mid air,panding as lightly as a feather. The shadow master threw him a glance before disappearing.
" Useless me." He muttered with no hint of anger or sadness on him staring at the bruised face of Raven.
In the end, he put Raven who was unconscious on his back and walked home. On the way,he spotted Kai steps ahead them walking in zigzags as a drunk person.
" This lot. What's too good with drinking alone? Tsk." He murmured as he walked past him.
" Stop!!" Kai called. Lance wanted to ignore him but he didn't. He turned and looked at him waiting to hear what was going to come out of this brother of his brother's mouth.et
" Let's... go Home... Together." Kai said lazily.
" Which home?" Lance asked calmly.
" Ours."
" You and who?"
" Me, you and our brother."
" You're under an evil spell." With this, Lance turned and started walking home and the man tailed behind him as if he was his tail. Lance didn't give much thought because he believed that Aidan and this guy must have had a simple disagreement which can be solved through communication so it really was okay to him if this man could follow him. And who knows? Maybe the two brothers could reunite.
When he entered the apartment, he pointed at the room and told him to enter while he placed Raven in the sofa and started treating her wounds.
After a short time Aidan also entered the apartment. As he was removing his shoes he spotted two unfamiliar pairs of shoes in the corner. He then walked forward asking,
" Hey, whose..." He stopped when he spotted Raven lying in the sofa.
Aidan narrowed his eyes in confusion "What..." Before he could finish, Raven opened her eyes and quickly grabbed Lance's neck.
" COWARD!!" She roared sitting up. Aidan rushed forward to save him but Lance quickly with his hand, gestured him to stop and Aidan obeyed. Lance then proceeded to patting Raven's hand which was on his neck saying,
" Wa.it.." Raven let go off him and stormed to the door without saying a thing. She took her shoes in the corner and put them on as she went out.
" You ain't following her?" Aidan asked and Lance just waved his hand rejecting.
" Whose shoes is that?" He asked pointing at them.
" Your brother's."
" Who???"
" Ahh, I'm sure you heard what I said. Do you like my voice at the extent of making me repeat everything? They belong to your brother."
Aidan then thought they belonged to Lance since they already treated each other like brothers. He then went to the room and Lance followed him. When Aidan opened the door,
" WHAT THE ....." Lance quickly covered his mouth. Aidan jabbed the hand off his mouth. And Lance quickly started to explain.
" He was drunk, so..."
" Shut up!!" Aidan snapped and pointed at Kai as he angrily said,
" Those are my PJs."
" He took them himself. Plus he is your bro and maybe you can sort things out."
" Bro, my ASS!! And what is there to SORT!!"
" Come on. Lower your voice. You might wake him."
" Wake him??" Aidan asked as he slowly approached Lance who stood on the other side of the bed.
" Are you worried about him??" Aidan asked. Lance gazed at him in confusion as he immediately blurted out,
" Why are you acting as a jealous wife? Why wou..."
" Who are you calling a jealous wife??? " He roared.
" Be quite." Lance said in a lower voice and Aidan face became red in rage.
" We will sleep in the living room." He concluded as he turned to the door.
" It's not like he is a girl."
" Shut up and bring the bedsheets." He said as he went out of the room and slammed the door. It really was surprising that Kai wasn't awaken by the noise. Lance stared at him and shook his head as he muttered,
" You really sleep like a dead person." He then went in the wardrobe and got the bedsheets and a quilt out and brought them in the living room.
" Here." He tossed one bedsheet to Aidan who was lying in the sofa. Aidan took it only after glaring at him.
* What with the glare?* Lance wondered and then in a provoking tone, he said,
" You might end up losing your eyes because of glaring at me."
" At least locust don't feed on my brain at the extent that I carry out foolish acts."
" HEY!! Which foolish act have I done??! You are just overthinking."
" Whatever. Foolish human." With this Aidan covered himself with the blanket and turned.
" IDIOT!" Lance whispered in his ear but Aidan only ignored him. Lance then angrily spread the quilt on the floor and lied down. He glanced at the door of their room and sighed.
" Annoying."
