Working on her expressions

Alex came running towards them and checked her from head to toe. When he got satisfied that she is fine. He hugged her and started scolding.

"Are you blind? Can't you see the vehicles on road? I can't understand how your mind works. You are such a clumsy person. You should be chained to me while crossing the road." He kept on and on. And the girl just giggled.

Bella looked at the scared and tense Alex. How love was pouring in his every word even when he was scolding the girl in his arms.

She suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart. No one ever cared about her. Even when she was burnt for 200 years. Even when she was left there to kill. Her whole body had been cut many times that no one seems to care about her life anymore. No one has ever asked is she okay? Is she hurt?

"Are you okay?" Asked Alex holding her hands awkwardly. But there was concern on his face.

"I think sister in law is still in shock. Look she is not reacting." Said Anna behind Alex with a giggle.

"I am okay," said Bella with a blank expression.

"But you weren't looking like one. Why don't you both head back home? I will buy things and come back later." He said suggesting both of them.

Anna nodded her head vigorously while Bella just maintained her blank expression. Anna held her hand tightly when the bus arrived. "Come sister in law, we will spend the evening together."

"Hey take this bag with you," Alex shouted from behind.

"Oops" Anna took the bag and went in the bus with Bella. And after a while, Alex also went in the next bus.

They didn't notice the car that was about to hit Anna, was standing in a distance and keeping an eye on them all this while.

"That Brat has good luck that the girl with her was too fast," said a girl with anger

"But she wouldn't be next time, and then I will show her, what is the result of insulting me" replied the lady with a smirk and them both children laughed with her.

"So Bella what do you do?" Asked anna after sitting comfortably with Bella on the seat.

Bella remembered the merciless killings she had done in past but still, she replied, "nothing."

"Oh, it must be good to feel free all the time. Your family must be rich." She said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"I don't have a family." Replied the girl tilting her head. 'Surely fellow demons wouldn't count right '

"Oh, I am sorry. Then whom do you live with." The girl asked apologetically.

"I live with Alex." Replied Bella.

"Oh, I mean. Yeah, right you live with us. So you will be my sister in law right?" She asked again expectantly.

"Sister in law?"Bella questioned again.

" hmmm, if you will be my sister in law then you can always live with Alex and me. And he will be you and care for you." She replied with a caring smile and snuggled her head on her shoulders.

"Love me and care for me." Although she still replied with a blank expression but her eyes shined. The idea looked nice to her. She had seen how Alex care for Mike and Sharron. How he loves Anna. He is a very pure soul. Would it fell nice if he would also love her?

"How?" Asked Bella after a pause.

"Huh, oh that. Leave it to me. I will make you my sister in law in these vacations." She replied with a smug face.

"Oh, our stop came. Come, Bella. Let's go" said Anna taking Bella's hands. While walking to the building Bella saw something she was. Waiting for a long time. 'A little elf' she moved in his direction but Anna didn't leave her hand.

"What happened Bella," asked Anna confusingly. "The building is in that direction have you forgotten the way?"

Bella looked at the girl and then at the elf who was running for his life after finding a demon year by and sighed. She started moving again with the girl and the girl smiled and continued her chatter again

They, both went to the apartment. Anna wanted to knock Mikes door. But there was a note stating they are going to the hospital for a check-up. And will be back before dinner.

She sighed. "We forgot to take the key from Alex, even brother mike is not here. Looks like we can't open the door." She said disappointingly slumping om the floor leaning on the door.

"Open the door," asked Bella blinking her eyes.

"I want to open the door but I can't," said Anna closing her eyes. She is tired now.

Bella looked at the laid down girl and them at the closed doors. She looked at her index finger and it's nail grew in a crooked shape as she wished. She put that in the keyhole and moved. And the door opened. The girl who was leaning km the door with closed eyes fell on the other side with a thump.

"Aww" she opened her eyes rubbing her head and looking around. "How did the door open" but Bella just blinked like she has no idea what Anna is asking about.

"Looks like Brother Leo forgot to close the door. Thank God" the girl clapped her hands and closed the door back. She held Bella's hand and ran to the room and went straight to the bathroom taking a good shower and wearing a homely dress. She came out satisfied rubbing her wet hairs. "Home, sweet home. Bella, it's your turn" she pushed Bella to the bathroom and rubbed her hand with a mischievous smile.
