Noah jumped out of his room, slipped in a night wear pair which he got. He was loving the plaid check print on it as it was something that he has never had worn in his place. He was told by the staff in the shop that he looks really good in them that he can even go out in that. Noah was scared of being treated as an outcast but he got so much attention, more than he even imagined.
He was welcomed with some strange fragrant and the room which was filled with beautiful moon lights, that had shadows casting on the wall. He haven't seen that light in there since the past two days. He was truly loving everything as days passed by, everything was much better than he expected. He couldn't wait to see Lia dressed up in all those which he personally selected for her.
He looked at the food placed at the table and it was for two and a decorative candle placed in between. He wondered why there was food for two as he had already eaten and it was all for Lia. His thoughts travelled to a certain end where he thought, she arranged it from him and for herself. Noah smiled thinking, Lia has already forgiven him and there would be no question regarding the moon stone.
"Come out.... Let me see if they fit you." He said constantly knocking on the door.
"It does." The door opened and a girl stood in front of him, swirling around in her bright red dress which was covering till her mid thighs.
"Uhh? Where is Lia?" He asked peeking in to see the much anticipated person as a matter of which, he ignored Ren.
"S-she went." Ren gritted her teeth seeing the boy searching for his 'so called friend'.
"What do you mean by that? She must be here somewhere." He stated as he believed she wouldn't even step out without him.
"She left the flat so maybe in the park or anywhere in the apartment. We locked her in for two days so maybe went to get some fresh air." She tried to calm the boy but instead he panicked more.
"She won't leave like that." He argued back not wanting to believe that.
'This is not a big deal. She is not a kid so relax and have dinner with me. She will come back after a small walk or something." Ren was determined to keep the boy with her so obviously the only option was to lie.
"What have you done?' He asked before running out to find her.
"Noah... where are you going?" Ren screamed, watching the boy bolt out of the apartment.

"I need to find a place where no one would come." Lia muttered to herself as she walked through the side walk aimlessly.
She could feel the cold air, brushing past her skin and after a long time she was feeling better. It was kind of comforting, a little bit of patience and freedom which she needed since days was finally allotted to her. It would have been better if there was someone next to her, some one from her favorite place and by that, she meant Noah.
"You have the moon stone with you but I am not going to beg for it. I can save my place on my own." Lia muttered before walking straight to the road only to jump in front of a car.
"Are you blind or what?" the man who drove the car shouted stomping hard on the brake.
"Uhh." Lia closed her ears tightly with her hands and crouched down right there ignoring the continuous honks and shouts from the passer byes.
"What are you doing?" the man asked as he honked again and again causing a traffic because she was on the main street.
"Some one ask her to leave." Another man shouted to the people who were watching the scene from the side road.
"I am sorry." A sudden deep voice caught the attention of everyone before picking her up.
"Leave m-me."
It was not hard for her to recognize the voice which she was repaying in her mind for the whole day. The honey dripping, comforting voice which she wished to have by her side for the whole day, suddenly flew to her. Lia wanted to scream and shout at him, hit him right there for leaving her behind.
"All are staring at us." He whispered before picking her up with his strength and dragged her to the side ignoring all the curse words which was directed at them.
Lia just let him drag her from there because if she protests him, then their identity would be revealed to the world. Noah just kept walking aggressively without even checking on her. his grip was tightly wrapping her petite wrist, maybe causing some bruises and marks. Her stomach felt heavy, the muscles clenching but she suppressed it by biting her bottom lips in.
They walked to a park which was across their apartment as Lia didn't get enough time to go far. She was just walking straight because the places were still strange for her or maybe she was too afraid to walk into some random dark alley. It only made things easy for him so he better not complain about it.
"What were you thinking? How can you just leave without telling me?" Noah asked pulling her to the front to meet her red puffy eyes which held no life in them.
"S-so? You came because I didn't tell you about leaving?" Lia asked yanking her hands off him finally.
"What's wrong with you, hmm? Tell me, what is wrong with you?" He asked suddenly cutting the gap between them.
Noah was not looking the same anymore, he looked scary and dominant. He was killing her with his death cold stare and Lia was scared enough to answer back anything.
