Chapter Twenty-four

"Why do they want to kill... us?" I said with my weak voice, The four of them stayed here with me. Adi already told me that the police will be here.

"What?" Zeyt ask as if it he didn't heard me. as if they didn't understand what I'm trying to say. I just look down and focus on my breathing, I'm still having a hard time getting oxygen after what happened, I don't want to remember what's the look of my room. I might get another episode.

I didn't ask the question again, I know they knew what meant. I heard Adi sigh and sit at his bed, "It's our companies enemies, Amea."

"Did they chose to scare me because they knew I'm weak?" I hands were shaking, I clinch my fist holding on to the beds mattress. Every now and then that question keeps bugging my mind, why me? Because I'm the youngest? Because I have asthma? or because...

I'm the only one who doesn't know something.

It's scares me just by thinking how dangerous those people are, for sure they can kill me in just one bullet, not hesitating to pull the trigger. I shivered imagining how dangerous thing will get... those poor birds... they killed them....just to scare me and leaving a note that they will kill us... one...by... one.

"Amea! don't say that!" Liv scold me but I didn't mind him. Then all of a sudden a single loner tear drop from my green eyes, I just can't help it.

"I don't... want to die..." I subbed.

"They aren't real cops are they?" I ask Adi beside me. Some group of people, wearing all black, came inside our house and started investigating my room, Even since that incident I never entered my room not even a step or glance at it.

Adi frown. "They are cops." he clarified, but I wasn't convince. They are so unlike for being a police, And I can prove it!

"They are not, First of all police officers should have badges and they need to show it to us before they entered our house, Second, police officers should have came here with a police truck not mustang's! and Third how is it possible you knew all of their names? Like, there are 20 'POLICE' inside here and you knew all of their names." I made my words sarcastic as possible.

My eyes moved to his neck, i saw how he gulp and look away. I got him this time. After that drama in his room, they all were silent not even one of them spoke. Then the maids knock breaking the silent atmosphere, tilling us that the police has arrived. It's almost at the middle of the night but I'm still awake. Actually all of us are.

They told me to rest, but I couldn't even close my eyes for 10 seconds because I kept thinking about things. I hate my brain sometimes. So I went downstairs and join them. They scolds me but they eventually stop when I told them the reason.

Xyro and Zeyt were accompanying the 'police' – if that what's Adi is calling them. To my room for investigation. While Liv and Adi stayed downstairs for now reason. I sat on the couch, I just notice though I'm not wearing my uniform but when I ask Liv about it he said one of the maids change me. I'm pleased knowing that part. After few minutes of waiting Xyro and Zeyt came down.

"How's the investigation?" Liv ask, while the two settled there self at the single couch.

Xyro was the one who answered while rubbing his forehead, really frustrated. "Not okay, They just found out that the culprits claimed the walls, they were able to find footprints in Zeyt and Amea's balcony."

"Culprit?"

This time it was Zeyt. "Yeah, two if them. They did the killings of the bird inside and made the... message or death threat. The guys are still investigating the room and every corner of the house, Like how they got here and what they are planning..."

That made me laugh sarcastically, So they already knee who was it. I really got a feeling that, the one who keeps sending me black feather and some messages are the same person who did this. I'm not just feeling is I'm sure of it.

The black feathers explain it all. Does feathers are from the same birds. I closed my eyes, remembering what I've saw in my room, dead birds... their head was cut off.... same with some part of their body. I shivered again. I can't sleep just by remembering does thing.

I'm sure I'll wake up everytime, I dream about it. And the death threat that they are going to kill as, scares me more...

Are they disparate to kill us? What can I do about it anyway... I don't know how to fight... I couldn't even hold a knife for heaven sake! Will I did slap a guy one time... and my palm hurt because of the thickness of his face. I never slap anyone that hard that I almost broke his jaw. I just don't like pervert guys.

Wait... Does guys... are they the one who did these? Possible but I'm still not sure. Just from those guys look, I could already say that they aren't people you should mess with. And they have big guns for heaven sake.

Mafia?

"Amae, it's already 1 am, go to my room and sleep." Adi ordered.

I frown. "And where are you gonna sleep?"

"I have a couch on my office. Go." I shake my head in disapproval. I know he is having a hard time at work, and sleeping in the couch would be uncomfortable to sleep on. He is a tall guy, he wouldn't fit on the couch! "And where do you want to sleep? You can't sleep on the guest rooms, it's to far away from us. And you can't sleep again in your room if it's not yet renovated."

Adi told me that an interior designer will be changing the design on my room, so I couldn't remember a single detail of that scene. I hope that would work.

"I can sleep in..." I know this is just out of the blue, but there is no choice, i don't want to disturb their privacy– will except for their Secret of course. but if they aren't going to allow me to sleep on the guest room then I'll sleep in our parents room. "Dad and mom's room..." I was slightly uncomfortable saying that, ever since the accident we seldom talking about them.

They all was stunned at my words, not one of them expected my suggestion. It was clearly out of the blue. They were silent but Adi eventually agreed with it. "Fine... you can sleep there." He agreed. Maybe because it was close to his room.

After that, I went upstairs to our parents room. This will be the first time for 3 years I'll be entering here. I open the door knob and turn the lights on.

As I enter the room, memories starting to build up in my mind. It's the same room like before, nothing change, still the color theme was grey, White and Brown. This room right here is the master bedroom, It's a big room. double size as my room. It have a big king size bed on the center, there was full of picture frame on one wall. Full of memories back then. But the biggest one caught my attention. It was a family picture of all of us.

Mom and Dad, was at the center, seating down. I was on my mothers lap, While my four brothers was at our back. All of them look so young. Especially me, I was like 7 at that time. Still don't know much how cruel life is. We all smilling happily at the camera, like a happy family.

Mom... Dad... why did you left so soon?
