Oddity 2

A woman drives the car silently while the child watches the surrounding outside the car, silence enveloped the duo.

"Mama, where are we going?" the child blinked her big lustrous eyes staring at her mother with curiosity and naivety.

the woman ignored the child's gaze and smirked at the rear-view mirror.

"Be a good girl and behave, mama will take you to a wonderful place."

===========================================================

Mira awoke from the voices surrounding her. She blinked her eyes adjusting to the light in the room when she opened her eyes, she gazes at the surrounding. A familiar woman and a man are present at the scene, without the presence of she-devil (Stella) Mira sigh in relief.

"Dear heavens, good thing you already release the toxins during your call with mother nature." The stunning woman with ocean Blue hair elegantly cascade to her waist framing her small heart shape face, her purple soft eyes turning downward as her lips positioned into a pout, her skin is white as milk, giving her a soft innocent motherly warm look.

"What happened? Did we not talk about this? You are not allowed to eat anything with milk in it." A handsome man remarked. The man is very good-looking, his silver hair glistens under the warm light of the sun and his ruby red narrow eyes who usually carried a cold feeling is replaced with warmth in front of his family. His tall and proud nose and pale white skin accumulated his cold charm, thin red lips twitch in worry. His usually lively eldest daughter act oddly for the past few days, quiet and desolate, he frowned lost in his thoughts.

Gazing at the pale face daughter who had been almost been best friends with her toilet, her usually talkative and lively daughter is now twisting in pain. The girl's eyes glisten with tears and moaned softly while holding her stomach.

A little figure squeeze between 2 adults. She raised her eyes to both of her parents then to her elder sister she blinked her glistening red ruby eyes and speak with milk(coquettishly).

"Stella showed big sister the cake, but Stella Didn't mean too"

She steps back and played with the hem of her dress, she looked at her elder sister with a sincere and unknown gaze.

Mira sweat drops and unconsciously back away from the little devil.

'Little Devil! it's obvious you mean it! come and see if I don't smack your butt next time.'

"Mira, don't move much. The doctor said you need more rest." Her mother tucks her nicely back to her sheets. Mira blinked her eyes at the woman, Mother's love is foreign for an orphan like her, she gazes at the woman with caution. The woman didn't notice her gaze.

The man attention was pulled by the younger girl who gripped the end of his shirt.

"Mira rests well, for the time being, we will cancel your lessons for the following day." The man said as he softly pats Mira's head. Mira closed her eyes and felt the soft scratching feeling in her heart. The man felt a small tug at the end of his shirt, he gazes at the small criminal.

"Is she sick daddy? It's Stella's fault isn't it." Stella's fat crocodile tears and fell and sobs softly. Taking pity on the small baby the man carried her into his arms and softly pat her small back.

"Baby didn't mean it as long as you are sorry, your elder sister will forgive you." he said softly.

"Stella is sorry big sister, from now on Stella will follow you everywhere so Stella can stop you from eating cakes in the future."

Mira sweat drop from the little baby's words.

'I felt like I'll die earlier with this brat around.'

"Mira goodnight." Both her parents and Stella kissed her goodnight and left the room silently. As time passed for a bit the pain subsides, Mira sat up and stretched she then notice a glint of her reflection. Slowly Mira stood up from her bed and walked to the mirror, she touched her face in awestruck. It always amazes her that her face remains the same as the past but younger and with a different hue of hair and eye color. She sneered at her stupidity, being defeated by a mere a truck? How embarrassing for her. She, the top-ranked assassin of their organization is pathetically killed by a truck, she pouted drowned herself from the sorrow of her death.

As she was in depth with her own world the moonlight pass through the glass door a shadow emerged and take a form of a man. Mira saw the shadow and was cautious about the figure. Her gaze followed the origin and there on her balcony is a tall man. His body is covered with a cloak, his face was covered by a fox mask but his eyes captured all her attention in seconds.

It is a golden hue that was covered in an ambiguous glint, it seems to dance in his eyes that are also stuck on her. As if time stopped both of them trapped in their own world.

She woke up in a trance when the man turned around.

"Ah wait!"

The man stopped but remained still, his back facing her. A sense of familiarity arose from Mira's heart.

'Such a lonely back'

"Who are you? State your business, breaking in is already considered trespassing. Are you here to kidnap me?"

The man only turned his head back to her and stared, Mira felt like her soul has been seen through. She shivered and involuntary step back, she turned her gaze to her feet then back to the balcony.

The man who was standing 8 feet away is now standing only mere inches away from her, she fell to the floor in surprise but her gaze remained at the man. The man slowly reaches his hand to her face. Mira felt a very dangerous feeling around this man just as he was about to touch her a knock exiled the silence, Mira froze on her spot and in a link of an eye. The man was gone.

"Mira? What are you doing there? Close the balcony door. It's quite cold tonight."

Mira opened her mouth but closed it again, she saw nothing but an opened balcony door. She sighs in relief but she couldn't help but be curious and alarmed.
