Chapter 24 - More Memories

"I'm so fucking bored" Amber said to Shawn in class as she leaned against the desk moving her snow white wrists on her desk up and down sighing in a childish manner pouting at Shawn.

"Shawny~ Entertain me!" She said in a playful tone. Shawn looked at her 'No one can entertain you. Your attention span is too sh-'

"I can be entertained, my attention span isn't short yours is. Hmph!" Amber huffed at the end showing her displeasure. Shawn scoffed, scooting closer to her and said.

"Tell me how you always know what I'm thinking" Shawn finished then as soon as Amber opened her mouth a smug look in her eyes he said in a flat tone.

"Tell the truth, not the usual Bull crap you say." When he finished his sentence his eyes hardened showing how serious he was and Amber looked away laughing awkwardly.

'I knew this would happen eventually. But it's fun keeping up this charade.' Amber thought pouting before she leaned in very close to his chair, her hands gripping onto the chair part that his backs rested against.

"A-Amber! W-What are y-you doing?" Shawn said flustered his face a crimson red matching the color of his Ruby gem like eyes. 'Hehe~ I'm going to get out of this~'

Amber thought with a smirk on her face as she leaned in closer to Shawn. The man's Ruby red eyes were shaking as he kept trying to get away but had no escape from this Demon.

"It's a secret" She whispered lowly in his ear, making the man shudder under her but when he thought of the words she used he looked up and glared at her saying through gritted teeth.

"Amber tell m- FUCK!" He suddenly screamed a curse word when she pushed the chair resulting in him falling. That gave Amber a chance and she ran away.

"Hehe~ I Amber Jewel am the smartest, prettiest, and most perfect girl~" Amber sang out in a cheerful tone as she was skipping down the hallway.

Back in the classroom Shawn was fuming as Devon was beside him mocking him for his stupidity with letting Amber trick especially since he has been with her this long.

"Haha, FUCK! How dare you my sweet precious Amber trick me!" Devon said in mocking before he bursted out laughing again at his best friend.

"Shut. Up!" Shawn spit out through gritted teeth giving him an icy glare that immediately made the blonde shut his mouth yet the mocking look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Shawn stood up and stormed out of the room but anyone that looked at him could see the smoke coming out of his ears showing how pissed he was.

"I'm bored again!" Amber yelled a couple minutes after she left the school no longer skipping but now dragging her feet as she looked solem.

"OoOh I know what to do!" Shouted Amber as she got her phone out of her pocket smiling like a cheshire cat before clicking a button to call someone's.

"Hello?" Said the person on the other line wondering why she called.

"I'm bored entertain me brother, PLEASSSEEE!?" Amber whined to the person on the line causing them to chuckle at her childish nature.

"If you come to my office I will take you to your animal shelter" Amber immediately got excited and started skipping again when she heard his last words.

"Yay! I wil be there in 5 minutes Brother Zaky." Amber said before she hung running at full speed to the house so they could leave quicker.

When she got into the house she ran all the way to his study slamming the door open. He looked at her like he expected this to happen but chuckled seeing how out of breath she was.

'It only took her 4 minutes this time' he thought looking at his watch surprised that she's getting faster. Suddenly Amber grabbed his wrist dragging him along while he let her.

At the shelter Amber walked in calmly but unlike a couple minutes ago she was cold her eyes icy as she looked at her staff. They looked at her used to her surprise visits bowing respectfully and saying

"Evening CEO Jewel and Mr. Jewel." They all kept their heads down to show their respect as Amber looked at them all her eyes sharp trying to find anything or anyone that looked wrong.

Her eyes then softened a little at seeing that all her staff are good workers and perfect before they hardened again ordering in a cold voice.

"You may all go home for the day" They looked at her with appreciation and gratitude sparkling in their eyes before saying in unison.

"Thank you CEO Jewel" The staff left then Amber went back to her cheerful self skipping to the dog kennels so she play with her fur babies.

"Nope, not yet little Amb." Zachary said holding her back by the collar of her shirt while she pouted and glared at him for holding her back.

"What?!" She spit out in displeasure at her elder brother

"Why are you so cold towards your employees, Amb?" He questioned since she is always kind and bubbly to everyone else at school and home.

"They aren't my friends or connections I will make they are staff and i'm they're boss. If i'm not cold and strict they will slack off that will bring the shelters downfall.."

She paused looking at her brother in the eyes before continuing "... I don't need to be nice to everyone all the time" She sighed at the end as if she was tired.

'Amber, What do you mean? Why do you look so exhausted at the mention of this topic?' The man thought but he knew if he asked her these questions she would become even more closed off.

The man with purple eyes looked sad as he let out a sigh 'Please tell me one-day little sister. I want you to let me in but I won't force it since you will only push me away if I do.'

He followed her when she grabbed his hand again dragging him to the dog part of the shelter. As he looked at her he stopped thinking about those thoughts so he could cherish the time he has with his baby sister.

As they passed a cage Amber ignored it while Zachary stopped and just looked at the thing that was inside the kennel. He looked towards Amber.

"What? I wanted to give this ugly creature a home poor thing no one wants to adopt it." Amber said looking like she pittied the thing while the thing in the kennel was glaring daggers at her.

"Don't even think about it" Amber said her eyes glazing over into a hardened cold glare that made the thing in the cage shut up instantly.

"Amber this is an animal shelter, not a h-"

"Do you really know what that thing is?" She asked her brother with a mysterious smile playing on her lips. The man with his darkened amethyst eyes looked over at the thing in the cage.

His eyes sharpened as if trying to find something out of the ordinary for a human but he couldn't. 'What does she mean by that question he looks human…'

The man's thoughts trailed off his purple orbs glinting with a strange light. '..But looks can always be deceiving.' The man ended his thought as he looked at his sister so she could tell him the answer.

"It's a secret," She said as she turned around before giving her brother a look that told him not to push it. Her secrets will remain unknown.

As they moved down Amber started thinking about the creature in the kennel 'I want to adopt it. It will be good for the future' The girl suddenly stopped wanting to ask her brother but decided against it.

'He probably won't I just will have to sneak it in. Hehe~' Amber thought while giggling with an evil glint shining in her Amethyst eyes making them sparkle.

Zachary looked at her mirth shining in his eyes seeing the schemes that were running through her clear pool of glimmering purple orbs.

"Amber…" His voice snapped Amber out of her thoughts making her look at him with a curious expression waiting for his next words.

"...You can't adopt that thing." He said his tone firm. Her eyes widened in fear 'Geez! It is creepy when others do know what you're thinking' Amber thought now understanding how everyone else felt when she knew what they thought.

"I wasn't going to." The girl said with a pout diverting her eyes from the man that kept gazing down at her with his purple orbs. 'Yes you will. You'll sneak it in little Amb.'

Zachary thought a barely audible sigh escaping from his thin red lips as if he gave up arguing with his little sister that was too stubborn.

'I won't adopt that creature it's cage will just have 'Accidentally' not been locked' Thought the girl with a snicker as her eyes lit up in delight.

As the 2 were walking one was in her own world scheming on getting that 'human' out of the kennel and the other had a helpless look on his face as if he gave up on scolding the little girl.
