Chapter 7 | Alectryon

Xianne!!"

I can hear their loud jocose giggles. All three of us have been anticipating this day. And Lycaon blessed us with beautiful weather, to play and spend time with my family. The trees were swaying, the grass singing, and the wind, bringing a breeze to my already warm skin.

"Xianne! You're it!" Clovia tapped me on my back, and she ran across the field, away from me.

"Chaunce run! Or Xianne will tag you!"

Chaunce screamed in excitement and ran behind Clovia. Their brown hairs glowed as the sun hit it.

"You guys are not fair! No climbing of trees!"

"Xianne! We didn't have rules. We can do whatever we want."

An idea struck my head.

"Mom! Give me those barbecues!" I screamed grabbed four sticks and danced below the tree where they climbed.

"Xianne that's not fair!" Chaunce complained, he pouted his lips and looked at me with small goo-goo eyes.

Which he thought would melt my heart but, it won't!
