Amara woke up with a large headache. A bandage cover the right side of her forehead.
"Ow" she winced in pain
"Don't move"
Amara's eyes widen, recognizing her father's voice. She turned her head to the left, seeing him sitting on a rocking chair
"Father" She said, before she could ask what happened, memories of what happened flashed through her mind.
Her father got mad
she never seen him that mad before. Whenever he gets at least a little bit stressed, his eyebrows would furrow and his voice would deepened.
But in this case, he full on yelled, his usual emotionless face shown a whole new emotion, that Amara wasn't familiar with.
"What happened to those boys?" Amara asked.
Malefic's brows furrowed slightly "Don't worry about it"
"Shouldn't we report this?"
Malefic didn't say anything, staring at nothing
He's thinking. Amara thought
"I'll take care of it, with their parents" was all Malefic said, not answering anymore of Amara's questions about the matter.
That was when Amara started crying. Causing Malefic to freeze up in alarm.
"Does your head hurt?"
Amara nodded "I'ts not just that, but it's my roses!, oh, my roses father! They have killed my roses!" she sobbed
"I took care of it" Malefic said
Amara slowed down her crying "You did?"
"As much as I could save, yes"
"But.." Amara let out a hiccup "I thought the roses was my responsibility"
Malefic sighed "They are, but you worked hard on them, so I made an exception"
Amara smiled, before frowning again "How could those boys be so cruel?" she asked
"Cause they were corrupt"
"Corrupt?" Amara asked
"never mind that, for now, I need you to eat", Malefic went to the nightstand, next to her, grabbing a bowl of soup, Amara didn't know was there. When he handed her the bowl, and a spoon. He opened the curtains, letting the sun in.
"Can I go down stairs?" Amara asked "To go check on my roses?"
Malefic hesitated before answering "After you eat"
With that, Amara started eating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"I could walk, Father" Amara said, as Malefic carried her bridal style down the stairs
"Yes, yes you can walk"
"You know what I mean..." Amara sighed, before noticing the missing coffee table.
"Where is the table?" she asked
"Gone"
"Gone? Gone where"
"Somewhere"
Amara gave up asking,
Malefic carried her to the kitchen window, opening up the curtain, for Amara could see through.
Amara's eyes watered, when noticing a couple of missing rose bushes, the ones that still stand; are either, missing a couple of branches, or the roses looked torn with missing petals.
"I don't like those boys" Amara declared.
"Good" Malefic whispered, that Amara didn't hear
"Amara"
Amara looked at him "Yes?"
"Next time when something like this happens, stay hidden, don't try to fight, and don't interfere with the corrupt" Malefic said, looking at her, waiting for her to agree
"Alright" Amara nodded " I will. Thank you Father"
Malefic nodded, holding her close.
"Don't worry about this anymore, Amara, I'll take care of it"
Malefic's eyes flashed to the fence.
They defiantly won't be coming back
Ever
