Chapter 4 - Chapter 2: Skills at a cost

Wilford chased his siblings as they reached the lift. All of them were panting hard, but laugher emerged.

"I won!" His little brother said, as they entered the lift.

"No, I touched the lift button first!" His little sister said proudly.

"Both of you won okay?" Wilford laughs, placing his hand on their head.

"Ow ow! Stop it!" They said in unison, "We admit defeat!"

"Hehe." Wilford laughs, as they exited the lift.

Reaching the tenth floor, they turn to their left and walk pass three doors before facing their door.

Wilford took out his keys and opened the door.

"Is daddy home?" The two asked, as they rushed in.

"A note! A note!" They quickly took the price of paper they saw on the dinner table. They face each other, "Let it go!" They shouted.

"Don't tear it!" Wilford quickly locked the door and entered, but felt a vibration from his phone. His phone doesn't have much things due to parents retraction.

A message from their parents, he open and read it, "Wilford, please take care of Wilard and Willa. Your mother and I will be leaving the country for the month. Your auntie and uncle will be here to pick three of you up. Pack your bags. Remember to drink plenty of water. :D"

Wilford felt worried, they won't leave so suddenly like that. 'Did one of their friend past away?' The last time they did that was when he was little.

He just sighed and look at his siblings who were staring at each other, both refusing the let go of the paper. He felt a sweat falling down the side of his forehead again.

He inwardly giggled at his cute little siblings.

Suddenly he felt his head giddy.

For a moment, he saw two dead body in front of him, cold and stale.

Then he saw his siblings again.

[User intense emotion force past memories to resurface]

He saw the system message.

"Fine! We will both give him the note!" They finally came to a conclusion, as they went to him, "Big bro! Heres a note!" They exclaimed proudly.

"Thank you!" He grinned, and rub both their heads. He then took the note and open it.

The paper was not a note but a coupon. 'Luckly they didn't tear it or this would have been bad...' He sighed in relief.

He than look down to see their curious eyes, "Free cake!" He waved the coupon and he could see the light shinning brightly in their eyes.

"Cakee!!" They raised their hands up high.

"Okay now, if you want cake, go and pack your bag. We are going to live auntie and uncle house."

"Cake..." Willa drooling as she think of the cake.

"Lets go pack our bags.." Wilard said, shaking Willod out her cake obsession.

"Okay!" She said, as they both went to their room to pack. He also quickly went to pack his bag.

Two hours pass when they heard a knock on their door. Willa and Wilard went to check out, since they have the least things to pack.

"Auntie! Uncle!" They said in unison, as they greeted their relatives.

"How's my brother children doing?" His uncle laughs.

"Hello auntie and uncle." A voice came out from the room, as Wilford pulled his bags.

"Why do you have so many things?" His auntie asked, feeling surprised.

"I still haven't pick a secondary school yet." He helplessly smile, as they finished packing their things. They went down and enter their uncle's car.

"Wilford, do you know how to get to your school?" His auntie ask, as the car left the neighbourhood.

"I can take the school bus, or walk there. It is closer to school than from my house." He said, as his uncle nods in approval.

"You have certainly grown more after having siblings." His uncle said, as he glanced at the mirror to see the two fighting with each other, he felt a vain popped out on his forehead, "Stop fighting!" He shouted, as they froze and look away from each other.

"Haha.." Wilford silently laughed.

He then summon the system to see if there is any change.

He quickly close the notification and looked outside, trying to see what was wrong.

He suddenly spotted something weird with a car from a distance. The car was not showing down at all, he looked at the direction it was heading and his eyes widened.

"Stop!" He roared, as his uncle reaction quickly stepped on the breaks. Before anyone say anything, they saw a car speed pass the spot they would have been a moment ago.

They were frozen for a moment, as they heard horns from other cars. His uncle snap out of it and quickly drive forward again.

He didn't bother with the new notification.

He quickly turn to Wilard and put him on his laps, he move towards Willa and did the same, as he rubbed their head slowly to try as their eyes slowly closed.

Wilford sighed in relief, feeling their breathing not so rapid anymore.

"I am going to report that car. That was too dangerous!" He heard his auntie said.

"Did you saw the number plate?" Wilford asked, feeling surprised.

"Of course. Who do you think your auntie is?" She said, as she looked at the mirror to see Wilford confused face, "Didn't your parents tell you what we work as?"

He shook his head, as his uncle laughs out loud.

"Is fine, is better you don't know." His uncle said, as Wilford felt more confused.

"Right, Wilford. How much did you score for PSLE?" His auntie said, changing the subject.

"Next week I will get my score." Wilford said, as his eyes slowly widened. 'They won't be here to see my score...' He lowered his head, as his auntie and uncle look at each other.

The car slowly entered the carpark, as it drove up. Uncle stopped his car and turned behind, "We are here." He said.

"Wake up, Willa, Willard." He softly said, as they also opened their eyes.

"Huh?" Willa said, rubbing her eyes.

"We are here!" Wilard exclaimed, as he got off Wilford lap and opened the car door. Aunite was already outside and uncle stepped out.

Wilford carried Willa and got out, Wilard saw it and his face distorted. Tears sipped out of his eyes, "I want to be carried too!" He cried.

"Okay okay!" He said, as he put Willa on one hand and pick up Wilard with his other.

'The hell kind of skill is that.' He thought, feeling abit annoyed.

His uncle was already in front, going to the lift as his auntie was waiting for him.

His sin seems to enjoy being carried, as they cling on his arm. He inwardly sighed, as he slowly walked.

He glanced to see his auntie looking at her phone, but her brows suddenly narrowed and she moved forward faster.

She went beside his uncle and whispered something, he tried to hear it but to no avail. He just quickly walk towards them.

"That car was Hayden car." He heard, as they noticed he was getting closer, they stopped talking.

'Why is most of my skills like that?!' He inwardly sighed.

"Wilford, you go up first. We have something to do." His uncle said, "You know the house code." Wilford nodded, "I trust your judgement. Do what you need to do." He said, as they quickly went to their car.

'Huh?' Wilford didn't understand, but he still to the lift. "Willa, can you press the lift?" He said, as Willma nodded.

They slowly went up, as he stepped out and turn to his right, they were going to passby the first door. "Okay now - "

His eyes twitched, as he quickly turn to see the door swinging open. His eyes widened and he saw someone coming out holding a knife, aiming at Willa.

He quickly shifted his body and turn around, holding them tightly as he did a sidekick to the enemy hand. Kicking the knife up and away.

The enemy was surprised by that counter attack, as his hand turn into a fist. He yelled and throw his body forward.

Wilford mind worked quickly, thinking of a solution. Time seemed to have slowed down for him. Seeing the man body ready to tackle them down.

Wilford gritted his teeth, using all his strength and push himself back. The man jumped off the side, as Wilford landed on his back.
