"ISABELLA!" Amos's shout and his loud knocks interrupted her deep sleep. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. It was supposed to be a holiday for her.

"WHAT?" She shouted back with the same energy.

"Come down, will ya? Ria's got a letter!" He answered.

She sighed. "Then go tell her! She's downstairs, and she's been up for three hours!"

"Then why are you still sleeping?" He asked.

"Because—" she replied back. "I've spent almost all night packing. And my back's hurting because of it!"

"Bella!"

"What?"

There was a beat of silence. "Ria's got a letter." He said again.

Isabella thought over his words, trying to comprehend what he meant. And then her eyes widened in realisation. She hurriedly left her bed and opened the door. Amos greeted her with a grin.

"Please, tell me Mum's camera still works.." she said to him. And without missing a beat, he raised the old camera in front of her.

With a massive grin, she grabbed it and ran downstairs.

"Wait— wait, Bella, careful! I thought you had back pain!" He followed her.

"Well— not anymore!" She said with ecstasy.

"Ced! Give— that— back!" Asteria chased after her cousin, who ran around the dining table with two letters in his hand. "It's my letter!"

"Nope!" He answered, dodging her yet another time. His father had asked her to not let her open it since both of them knew how impatient she was.

Ria glowered at him. "Cedric, I swear to God, if you don't— " Her sentence was cut off when her mother came rushing to where they were. "Mum? You okay?"

"Me?" She huffed. "Yeah! What would happen to me? I'm great!" She answered, raising the camera. "Now, go on!"

"Yeah, go on!" Amos repeated, coming behind her.

And finally, Cedric handed the letter back to her. She snatched it from his grasp, muttering a 'finally' to herself. Though after seeing a red crest on the envelope, she looked at Cedric in confusion. His envelope also had the same crest.

"What're you waiting for?" He asked, watching her instead of taking a look at his letter.

Weird.. she thought as she carefully opened the seal.
