THE 3RD MISSION IV

He weakly open his eyes and found himself laying in the same room he used in the old couple's house. He frailly raise his right arm into the mid air, opening his hand wide. Looking at his slender, fair skin. As soon as he notice something odd, he rapidly raised up from the bed and head to the small living room where the half size body mirror was hanged in the wall. He ventured his hands all over his body, examining every single part he touches. He's still wearing the same clothes as he wore the last time. He look at his reflection into the mirror and was surprised. The burnt he get from the lightning bolt vanished. No traces left, to even in his clothes. It's all wipe clean. Like it never happened. What's going on? What happened when he died? Did he really died? Who took him to bed when was unconscious. Where is the burnt?

He was still lost in thoughts when the old couple finally came back from their hunting. Zhan Micheal Lan was carrying a wild boar in his right shoulder with some trap materials they used in his left hand. He looked dazzlingly attractive paired with some big droplets of sweat dripping from his temples down to his chin. It only reveal his handsomeness even more. While Xian Jordan Wei was carrying a basket full of freshly picked crops and fruits from their garden.

As soon as they entered the door way, they noticed Alexander Frances in his confused state still facing the mirror. They draw close to him, putting the price of their hard work aside. Jordan tapped Alexander's shoulder, giving him a hellish startled.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH DON'T KILL ME, DON'T KILL ME"

He closed his eyes tightly while using his crossed arms to cover his terrified face as soon as he felt something else touching him. Seconds past, he gently open his eyes again and saw two familiar figures with a worried face.

"Xander, are you okay?"

"What happened?"

"Uncle Jordan? Uncle Michael? Waaaahhhhh"

He immediately embrace them tightly as soon as his tears fall out from his eyes. Ignoring the sweat and a smelly scents of labor work mixed with a pinch of sun smell coming from the two person. He cried loudly as he was releasing all his frustration, fear, agony and jeopardy. Remembering the pain he felt when the lightning bolt peirce his skin, shivers him in fear. The old couple looked into each other and found Alexander's behavior disturbing as they let him cry to his hearts content.

When the whine finally subsided, the 3 person finally decided to take a seat in to a bamboo-made chair. Next to Alexander is the two old couple watching him, patiently waiting for him to narrate every single details to why he behaved like that.

The old couple listen to him attentively, while observing Alexander's movement if he was lying or not.

(fast forward)

"And that's what happened"

The old couple remain silent as they were trying to digest every single word Alexander told them. Wondering if what he said is true. System? A system that controls him? Mission? He was given a mission by the so called 'system' to kill someone?And worst of all is Death? The toll for unfinished mission is death? And most unbelievable story is the 'punishment'. Micheal raise up his head and look at the roof. But not a single hole is visible.

"Are you sure the lightning bolt hits you from inside the house but not outside?"

"Yes uncle Michael. When I told the system that I won't obey them no matter what, they released a very frightening lightning bolt, INSIDE the house. I don't know how they do it but it hit directly to me"

"Then where's your scars? wounds? burnt?"

"I.... I don't know. When I woke up, everything is gone. The wound, burnt, everything. Like it never happened"

"Are you sure you're not tired from cleaning the house, Xander?"

"No, uncle Jordan, that's not it"

"You better take a rest. It's not good for your health if you keep imaging things when your tired"

"But I'm not"

"Micheal is right, Xander. Take a little rest. It's best for you"

"But uncle Jordan, it's true. You have to believe me"

"I know that's why we want you to have a bit of rest then we can talk to it more later"

Alexander was left alone in the living room with a sullen face, feeling dejected while the old couple continue their journey to the kitchen along with the crops and meat with them.

While Alexander went to his room the old couple was invaded with silence. No one wants to break the ice. The silence was deafening with only a chirp of the birds and swinging branches from the breeze can be heard.

"Michael, do you think what Xander said was true? I don't think he's lying"

"Mmmmm"

"Hey, be serious"

"Call me husband like what you said to him when you introduce me and I'll answer you"

"You..... Tsk fine.. Hubby"

"Sweeter"

"Hhuubbyy"

"Louder"

"ZHAN MICHAEL LAN, YOUR TOO MUCH"

Jordan turned around, facing away his husband while crossing his arm into his chest with a fake sulking face. He don't usually shows his affection but when he does everything will ended up a mess.

Michael draw closer to him, hugging Jordan from behind. He lean his head to his wife's (Jordan) shoulder while pouting. Michael on the other hand is calm, always pamper his wife and will always give in when it comes to Jordan's undying oddly wishes. He kissed his wife's soft neck even with if there's still traces of sweat, hands rooming around freely like a wild tentacles searching for something to grip. Well, Love drives you nuts without exception.

"Did I tease you too much? I'm sorry"

"You don't mean it. Look at your hands. It's having it's own life"

"mmmm, you're just too irresistible. I can't help it"

"I don't think there's still truth behind your words"

"You don't believe me?"

"No"

"mmmm then I guess I already lost my charm. I can no longer seduce my wife. What will happened to me now? Without my stubborn wife, I am nothing"

"pffftttt- Am I really that stubborn?"

"Mmmmm.... But I still find it cute. Everything about you is adorable"

"hahahaha stop your flattering. What do you want for dinner, my dearest husband?"

Micheal open his eyes widely as he heard what Jordan said. It is his first time hearing those sweet pampered honey feeling words from his wife. He hugged him tightly as he felt extreme erection below. He don't want to eat his wife in a broad daylight as Alexander might saw them. He smile affectionately then bite his wife's ear teasingly while whispering.

"You, ofcourse"

(A/n: I can finally sleep in peace. Names of two old couples are finally revealed. I took their names after MDZS's main characters because I'm one of their fans. Though, I spliced them with some modern name since the sitting is in modern era. I like the combination though)
