"I have got the boxes" Hunter shouted before getting into the car.
Alfred gave a smooth bow at the lady of the house Ophelia, before entering the car and taking over the wheels.
Amelia holding unto the right hand of Ophelia held unto it tightly and didn't let go. She tried to fought back tears as Ophelia encouraged her to wave at her big brothers before they leave.
"Must they go, they can just stay at home and train with us, or better still we would hire a tutor."
She said with a cute sad face. Ophelia just smiled and chuckled slightly like an understanding parent as she continued asking questions.
"Uncle Alfred can train them too? Right big sis "
"Amelia!"
The sudden voice of Hayden calling her dragged her attention towards us. She quickly ran to towards the car and fell into Hayden's arms. He hugged her tightly before assuring her that he would get her something when returning back home. She nodded quietly as the tears slowly dropped down like the starting of a light rain shower. He smiled warmly at her before using his index finger to quickly swipe away at the drops about to drip down her cheeks.
"Big girls don't cry" He whispered softly to her.
"Or aren't you a big girl ?" He asked again.
"I am" she responded softly, almost inaudible but with puffed red cheeks as she balled up her small hands into a fist with faltering determination.
Quickly she drew a line on the forehead of Hayden and giggled.
"What was that for ?" Hayden asked in between laughter, hers was so infectious he couldn't help it.
"Giving you my blessings big brother" she retorted shyly.
"Alright little one" He laughed as he rubbed the top of her head affectionately.
"Alright go meet your other big brother" He said calmly.
With a slight nod, she quickly walked towards the other side of the car. All this while, everybody had smiles on their faces. It's always adorable when the baby of the house never wants to let go;But not in all cases though.
To Hunter, the action of Amelia was reminding him of his daughter, Joana. Doesn't sound familiar but her ginger full lush hair with her happy demeanor and sad face always made him happy. He envisioned his previous wife and daughter Clara and Joana in the place of Ophelia and Amelia at that moment when they were holding hands.
Such moments was always when he was off for a contract. Contract of sending some people to God. Yeah, it seems whether in this life or the previous ones, it's was always the ones that cherished their loved ones he got stucked with. Such things usually affected some of his choices. What if he was to take a drastic measure in the future, he would be forced to consider the sad face of Amelia. Knowing fully well that such face would be better than the one of 'your elder brother is dead'. Though he knew sometimes, it makes you not to take some crazy decisions, but at the same time, it never let's you reach or achieve your full potential.
'A man who has nothing to lose, is the most dangerous of all' and such man was needed for the business of his previous life. Now that he had been reincarnated to cause chaos for the pleasure of the heavenly one, he needed to be that man. But for now it would make no sense to cut off this lovely family. Perharps, there was a reason that...
"Big brother!"
Amelia shouted out loud as she fell into Hunter laps. She stared at him with bright glassy eyes. No tears this time, but they looked soft and wet, her pretty brown eyes.
He couldn't resist, so he gave up the continuation of his thoughts and smiled. Slowly he stroked her head as she buried her face in his chest.
Quickly she sat up and drew a line on his forehead.
"Your Queen gives you her blessings" she said cutely while giggling.
Hunter looked towards Hayden and could see him smiling already. They burst into laughter as they both quickly said
"Yes your majesty".
Meanwhile, Alfred just smiled and quickly brought out a golden stop watch. Slowly he dangled it by its golden chains, with two rattle in the air, he stopped and tucked it in back, into his suit.
They all knew what it meant, the code word for time was running out. Let's not be late. Each of them had a stop watch, the principle of no wasting time factor that the head of the house had ordained.
" You promise to get me a gift?" She asked.
"Just like Hayden ?" He said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, you guys are twins, so two gifts for me" she stood up and smiled brightly at him.
"My luck!" She called out while walking towards Ophelia who just stood there all this while with a slight smile on her face.
She held out her hand towards Amelia, who took it happily. Turning around she waved furiously as Alfred started the car and began to drive away.
To Hayden and Hunter, they returned the energy in two folds, with Hayden going as far as blowing a love ring of fire through the window. Which ended up making sounds of fireworks that excited the little sister as she awaited their return for her gifts.
