Making choices

A month already passed, since the Evenson's family accident. News spread everywhere, it was said that a unfortunate mishap happened on a day that was supposed to be a happy family reunion, but became a tragedy. There were no survivors. Since they had no relatives, the government decided to hold a funeral for them and swore in front of the citizens to catch the culprit and punish them.

A hand was gripping tightly the floating screen, small cracks could be seen. Dev looked at the news of the death of Lyn. He felt completely stunned, even more than the time he saw his brother at Raymer's house. How was it possible ? That bratty girl who loved to make trouble, was no longer alive ?? Did it mean that he could no longer see that playful smirk and those golden eyes ?

His mind fell in a circle of thought and memories. He could still recall when they first met, those eyes looked at him with curiosity and innocence. Then as they went to the same classes, their relationship grew closer. But he also recalled the unpleasant presence of the other girl. That liar, who comforted him while he was down for missing his brother, while that person was literally at her home. Why didn't she say anything ? Did she have a heart ?

Anger filled the purple eyes, he closed the window, and sat back on the chair, organizing his thoughts. He read that the funeral would be held in a week, so he still had some time. He tapped on the screen again, a call was issued, two windows popped on showing two guys. " Hello guys, I have a piece of news to share with you, if you didn't already know it ", Lex had a darkened look, while And was still somehow sleepy. " Yes Dev. Lyn is no longer in this world ", spoke slowly, while sorrow was shown on his face. " What are you guys saying ?!! ", Ander was completely jolted awake from their words. " Here, the news was released this morning. Have a look ", the red haired guy hastily read the article, feeling more and more shocked. " How's it possible.... Is because of this that she hasn't contacted us for such a long time ?... I thought Es… ", then he shut up, knowing that he just touched a sore spot of his buddy. Dev smiled sadly, " the funeral will be held in a week by the government, will you guys come ? ". Both of them nodded, no hesitation could seen from their eyes, only sorrow and sadness. They bid goodbye to each other and left the call, each one lost in their thoughts. Too many things have happened recently since they parted their ways. Really too many.

" Young master ? It's time for the meeting with the shareholders of the Mills's company ", focus immediateòy returned to Deven's eyes, " Got it, I'll be ready in five minutes. Thank you butler ". The old man smiled, feeling gratified seeing that the heir finally seemed to have stabilized his state of mind. And could start to take care of the family's business. Although he started not long ago, his presence gave off a mature air which made the other men feel a bit of deference. They said that experiences forged the current and future character of a person. It included both good and bad ones, but how to let them influence, it was the person's choice.

In an ivory colored room a girl was sitting on her bed, her eyes were distracted, a light melody echoed in the room as if it was trying to calm nerves. Suddenly the door burst open, a strict looking woman walked in, her hand grabbed one arm and the other slapped heavily on the face. The girl woke up from her dreamland, she glared at her, freeing herself from the grip. " My dear daughter, I've heard from your personal maid that you're still thinking about that brat from the Mills. How dare you ! You can't act like an idiot who lost his way and shut himself in the room ! Where's my perfect lady ? ", the woman's gaze pierced hers. Esme did not reply, she moved her gaze away. This made the other party even angrier, " My dear, didn't I already warn you when you got together with him that love is a fickle emotion, see now you're suffering from it ". After saying those words she seemed to calm down, she sat near her daughter and embraced her, '' Listen to mother's words and behave. Mommy won't be angry anymore, okay. I know that it hurt when you two broke up, so forget it, he doesn't deserve even a bit of your attention. My daughter should have the best, not that lowly thing ". Esme felt anger rising up, why did Dev treat her like this ? It was her sister who brought back that lab-toy at home, she didn't know that it was her brother. And she was restricted from speaking about family's business. So she did not tell him, in fact she didn't even recognize that the toy was Dev's brother. She felt a vague sense of familiarity, but since she wasn't sure, and because it was her sister's stuff, she didn't think more about it. But it turned out to be a mistake. Recalling those memories, the rims of her eyes reddened, she cried, burying her face in her mother's shoulder. " Be good, be good ", murmured her mother, while patting her back. A cold smile was curving her lips, but Esms didn't see it.

In a dark room fluorescent windows were floating everywhere, a hooded figure was busy tapping on them with a quick pace. A pair of glasses were reflecting the artificial light from the screen, hiding the expression of the eyes behind. A shadow walked in, nearing the figure. " Adeus, come out, it's time to eat ". The figure lifted his head, he took off the glasses and stood up, " Mn ". Roswell smiled and went out first, at least this brat seemed to realize more things than before.

After the meal mr. Daft stopped him, " Sit, we need a talk ", Adeus glanced at him and sat down. " I know that you're literally racking each system to look for that girl. But you've been working on it almost for three weeks, and no results. Have you thought about the reason ? ", dark emerald eyes were a bit lost, " She doesn't want me to find her…. but why ? ", " My thoughts are that she has someone backing her up, or she's just hiding very well, this might be possible, since her speciality ". After those words, emotions were going on rampage in his heart. Slowly one stood above all, " I'll find her no matter what ".
