The forbidden door.

Dylan and Emily sat on a chair in Archer’s house. Emily kept glancing around, making sure they were safe. Dylan kept nodding positively to assure her they were okay. Archer walked in holding two plates of noodles with boiled eggs and vegetables. He placed each plate in front of each of them. He walked back in, and came out soon after with two cups filled with water. He placed them the same way he had kept the food.

All this while, the brother-sister duo exchanged glances, followed Archer’s movement with their eyes, and came down at the things in front of them.

“What’s this about?” Emily asked when Archer finally stopped to face them.

He shrugged without saying a word.

“How do we know this is not another one of your killing tricks?” Dylan asked, weighing the meal with his eyes, causing Archer to shrug again.

“We’re not hungry Archer, thank you for your kind generosity”

Emily said sarcastically.
