The drive home was quiet. May's eyes were fixed on the road and Heather looked out the window. She probably just needed peace of mind to absorb what was happening and May understand so, she saved the talk for when they got home. They got to their home ~V&M villa~ Heather got teary and anxious again. She just feel so uneasy that something wrong was going to happen.
'Come on Heather, stop crying we're out of there now' May consoled her as they walked into the villa. 'Oh gosh you are finally back!! Where have to both been? I have been trying to reach out to you two and you just ignored my calls. And Heather, normally it was May who got missing every now and then but now you her also joined her.' Aunt Lucin started reprimanding them the moment they stepped in. May rolled her eyes in frustration while Heather just stared at her.' And what in the world happened to you Heather? Why are you covered in bandages and bruises? What's all of this my dear? Tell me what-'
'That's enough!' May shouted to get her to keep quiet. She kept mute after May's unexpected outburst. 'Aunt, as you can see, we're both very tired and really need to rest so please- would you mind?' May cut her off leaving Lucinda perplexed. 'But-' 'Aunt please, just let us be' Heather tried her best to be polite. 'Yes, yes, I'll serve lunch-' '-when we are hungry we would come down and eat, okay Aunt?' May said with a fake smile and she went upstairs with Heather.
Heather sat quietly on the bed while May poured a glass of water for her. 'Water?' she offered to Heather. 'Are you sure nothing bad will happen?' Heather asked with uncertainty. 'Yes, nothing will happen ok' ' how is this even happening? I don't understand anything' May sighed at her question and sat beside her. 'Well you see, that's what I have been meaning to speak to you about...well umm, how do I say this?' It's well, uhhh...gosh' May fumbled because she still not sure about how Heather would react to it, her fumbling made Heather anxious.
'Wait what is it? Come on just tell me.' 'Well it's, we are uhhh...' 'May, you are scaring me. What it is just say it already' ' yes, it's umm...the reason why we were allowed to leave is because, well it's-' 'just say it!' 'It'sbecauseyou'retheAlphaConsort!!' May rumbled so fast that Heather stared at her with absolute confusion. 'Say what?' 'Huh?' May asked back in a state of panic. 'Huh? What do you mean by that?' 'by what?' '-by what you just said?' 'What'd I say?' ' I don't know, that's why I'm asking?' 'I also don't know' ' what do you mean you don't know what you said?' 'what did I say then?' ' I don't know' ' I also don't know' 'wh-what? But y-ugh! that's it! Just quit it ready! stop!' Heather's outburst made May hiccup which, irritated Heather give her a "really?" expression and May dropped her head down cowardly.
'What is it? Tell me!!' 'Yes!' May uttered as flinched and nodded before saying 'yes I will' 'then go on' 'yes-' 'quit with the yes!' 'ye-right I mean, okay-okay, okay I will, the reason because, be-because, well, uhhh... it's because...' Heather had her ears opened wide open for what May going to say then. 'I brought the lunch!!' Aunt Lucin said as she barged in saving the day. May sprang up from the bed immediately 'Oh yes, bring it in' she agreed with Aunt Lucin to distract Heather for a bit. 'But you were saying something May-' ' just leave it for now Heather, lunch is here and I am very hungry' 'but-' ' just drop it for a little while, let's have lunch, come on. Aren't you hungry? Look stewed chicken. It looks so yummy right?' May tried her best to distract Heather. 'Yes, dear you should eat and rest. Tomorrow you two could go to the hospital for check up okay?' Aunt Lucin suggested and reluctantly agreed to it. May breathed a sigh of relief, she knew she shouldn't be keeping the truth from her but she had no choice. Heather on the other hand, knew was hiding something and she knew it was something very big.
