Oddity 3

"Mom who is he?"The girl blinked her eyes at her mother and gaze at the man in front of her.

"His your new guardian, from now on you will stay with him." The woman remarked without glancing at the young girl, she turned around and left without looking back.

"But wheres dad? where are you going mom?" The girl tried to reach for her mother but was immediately blocked by a tall bald headed man.

"Sweet sweet girl your in good hands." The man held the girl's shoulder with a a light flash in his eyes. The girl inwardly shivered with a bad feeling settling on her stomach.

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

It was a cold dark night, the streets are adored by the fog and the only source of light is the full moon's moonlight. A shadow move pass with an incredible speed, it entered a balcony of a mansion from there the shadow observe through the glass planes. A girl as enchanting as a rose bud, just waiting to sprout and bloom it's full burst of beauty lays on the scarlet large bed.

The figured entered the room through the balcony door, his light steps cause the floorboards to creak and shift. His shadow over tower the sleeping figure, he watched the chest move up and down serenely, she breaths shallowly and deeply. He slowly moves closer to the girl's face watching it deeply. His eyes flashed and turned dark, he slowly lift his hand and touched the young girl's hair.

It was as he expected smooth and lustrous as if it was bathed with hundred kinds of honey. he brushed his fingers through her hair softly at a closer range he watched the girl's eyelashes tremble her lips a bit opened breathing shallowly. She look's peaceful like a kitten at the hands of a wolf. A burst of smell entered his nostrils as he leans closer, Vanilla and Citrus scent. His eyes glistens and closed his fist as time pass by quickly only gazing at the sleeping figure, he turned slowly and without looking back he left silently with only leaving the howls of the wind.

During this moment Mira dreams about a man and a woman as if a 3rd spectator, no one can see her. she entered a dimension she never have seen before but sense a connection and familiarity. It bothered her to no end. She stood still in one place gazing at both the man and the woman.

The man was terribly injured,his chest and head was bleeding, his lips is covered by a black substance dripping slowly, with his eyes close his lashes tremble, he bit his lips suppressing a groan. The female wore a long white gown, she stood tall her face was blurred but her voice is serene but sweet and gentle like a lullaby to an infant's ears.

"You need my help even if you refuse me. I will stay by you, don't push this lady's temper. I am afraid you can't afford it." The lady arrogantly remarked, she was indifferent to the half dead man in front of her and slowly crouch down and watched the man struggle.

"I'm afraid this lowly one might dirty your hands, aren't we bunch of dirty vermin in your eyes? I don't want to disgust you with my blood and waste your time to a lowly one like me." He said with such a hate almost like poison dripping from his tone.

The girl laugh haughtily, she crossed her arms and slightly bend her head to the side.

"You won't if you cooperate with me, you should be happy. This lady bothered with you. Come and serve this master as a compensation, that is the greatest reward you will ever get." She smirked and look down at the man.

Mira awoke from a bang from her door, She slowly opened her eyes and frowns as she recalled her dream. She massages her forehead in confusion.

"Miss are you awake? Madam is calling for your presence in the waiting room." A voice spoke from the other side of the door. Mira concluded it was the maid, she stood up and stretched her body.

Suddenly Stella barge in without a knocking, Mira shriek in fright and covered her chest with both of her arms.

"Sister! Mom brought a boy over!"Stella yelled. Mira stood frozen in place understanding the identity of their visitor. If she remembered correctly it was the 2nd capture target, their cousin Callus Spade, a genius magician. Sweet and lovely on the outside but terrible in the inside. If Mira could rank the most sadistic characters she was introduced into, Callus will out rank them and make them run for their money.

Mira sighs and did her usual morning routine,later on both small girls came down to the assigned room before entering Mira let out a breath and entered the room with practiced poise and inborn elegance. Stella followed her sister's lead checking her appearance before entering the room.

"Oh Callus dear, this girls are your cousins. Meet Stella and Mira. My dears this is Callus Spade your cousin." Claudia remark and smiled softly at both of her girls. Both girls eyed the little boy with curiosity.

"You all get along, Stella sweety, Callus is the same age as you. Mira why don't you invite Callus and your sister to eat breakfast." Claudia argue them.

A boy stood beside their mother, he was short and malnourished for a 4 years old boy. His heterochromia irises are dull and lifeless as if he had given up to the world. His thick ink black hair is sticking up everywhere and cloths are dirty and large belonging to someone much older.
