CHAPTER 8: Morning with a sister?

Lynx entered the dark castle in her red costume. There were young beautiful girls dressed seductively there. Some stood on parallel lines calmly bowing down , while others were standing beside a man she had never seen his face. Always wearing that mask of his , sitting on his throne in quite a strange posture. There were also a few handsome guys there. They were humans who had been crazy enough to sell their souls to the shadow master. Many of the maids there ,were humans. The hudow's level was different. Some destroyed humans by killing them while others destroyed humans by manipulating their thoughts. Shadow master could control them however he wanted. Torture them when he wanted. Unlike all of those servants, Lynx and Raven was treated with favour.They were like his daughters,but still Lynx was treated with more than favour. The place was almost like a kingdom.

" Greetings Master." Lynx greeted. The shadow master scoffed.

" Long time no see, darling." The master said in his unforced bewitching voice. Lynx didn't have what to say. Although Lynx and Raven were treated good, they never met with the master very much.

" You seem at loss of words." He said again.

" No. Master... I ..."

" Forget it. What brings you here?"

" I have a clue on where the onyx is."

" And?"

* Shit! Why did I even bring this up?*

" It is in Marvelous city."

" City huh?"

" Yes."

" I will send my people."

" Then; I will take my leave." She said calmly, bowing and turned to leave.

" Wait."

Lynx turned.

" Watch your own steps. One mistake, " The was no reason to continue. Lynx quickly understood what he meant. She gave an understanding nod and left. She sighed a sigh of relief reaching outside. She was going to go back to Raven's apartment. She knew Raven didn't want her there, but so what? She liked being there. Making her lose her mind, and things like that. She went back. Raven was still sleeping.

* It's seven.Too luck we don't work on Sunday* Lynx thought staring at the girl. Raven then opened her eye and saw her staring at her. She sat upright.

" So, You went home last night?" Raven asked. Lynx simply shrugged in approval.

" You should have stayed there." Raven said with annoyance.

" Don't be like that sweet heart. I can't bear to leave you for even a sec." Lynx said with a smile. Raven scoffed.

" What a pure lie! I really wonder why you're still single with that sweet mouth of yours. It's really not understandable."

" What are we having for breakfast?"

" A cup of coffee."

" You are kidding! You know we always had a majestic bre..."

" 'Had', that's the past. And there is no 'we' anymore... I need to pray by the way. Thank God for all He has done and ask Him to get you out of my life." Raven said calmly looking in front of her. Lynx sighed inside.

" Okay then. I will be preparing the breakfast." She said slowly and calmly and went out of the room.

" It's not like I will stay in your life forever! Who wishes to stay anyway? " She argued to herself calmly opening and closing the fridge.

After a couple of minutes, Raven got out of her room. Lynx had already started preparing breakfast. She smiled at Raven who only looked at her with no expression.

" It's not like hating me would make me disappear." She blurted out.

" You really think highly of yourself." Raven told her." Who would waste her time hating you? I just don't like you. You're unlikable." She added calmly.

" Thanks "

" Ugh.."

Then breakfast was ready. They both sat to eat.

" Please eat." Lynx told her with her usual smile. Raven sighed and ate. She turned her head to Lynx with an undefined look, her face slowly turning red.

" No need, no need. " Lynx said waving her hand in the air like some hero who doesn't want many praises. Raven quickly run to the to the water tank.

" Eeeeh, what's wrong sweet heart?" She asked following her. The moment she reached Raven was sitting down faning herself with her hand, trying to catch her breath. She then looked at Lynx lazily.

" Have you eaten at the food you've cooked?" She asked out of curiosity.

" Yah. And it's pretty fine to me." She said.

" Are you even a human?"

" What? Of course! Spicy food are good,..."

" I'm literally dying."

" Good! At least dying will make you less painful."

Raven shot her a deadly look.

" You knew I don't eat spicy food." She told her calmly.

" Yah?" Lynx said with an innocent face. She added,

" I just wanted to eat alone so that you could drink coffee. Isn't it good?"

" This..." Raven tried to smack her head but she just dodged.

" You wanna fight?"

" NO!"

Lynx shrugged again and peacefully went over to her food, hugging the table.

" I feel too good." She said nearly crying. Raven frowned.

" I like this food." She sniffed and dramatically cried. Raven rolled her eyes this time.

" Eat quickly. I need to mop the house. And remember to do the dishes."

" I am a guest." Lynx said crying.

" Since a guest can cook for herself, And EAT THE FOOD,Oh,ALONE, I bet she can even wash the dishes."

" This is inappropriate."

" Okay, continue messing with your brain thinking you're some honorable guest. I swear ,if you don't wash them, you will be my lunch."

" How?" Lynx asked with a smile. Raven just clicked her tongue in annoyance.

After eating, she surprisingly washed the dishes while Raven was on her phone watching anime.

" When are you mopping?" Lynx asked her as she was done with washing the dishes.

" In a moment."

" And that's what you been saying since the moment you've touched your phone."

Raven put the phone down. She then noticed a cup of coffee in Lynx's hand. She ignored it and started mopping. Lynx sat on the sofa watching TV. She was too concentrated on the TV that the coffee cup slid from her hand and fell down. She cursed inside .Raven slowly raised her head just to see the cup and the liquid once in it, on the floor and Lynx with a posture of someone still holding the cup on her lips, looking at her.

" YOU DAUGHTER OF....." Raven then run to her with attempt to beat her up. They run around the house only to make the house a mess. Raven finally sat down looking at how the house was a mess.

" NOOOOOOO!!!!" She screamed dramatically and looked at Lynx who stood opposite her with an awkward smile.

" I WILL BREAK YOUR TONGUE ONE DAY. " She blurted out angrily.

" Please do." Was the reply.
