22. You forgot what?

"Alert babe" leo sat stiff observing his surroundings. I stood up and followed the noise being very sneaky. I hid behind the tree hearing as the noise neared me. I slowly peaked up...

There stood two beautiful peacocks staring at something on the ground. One was bright white and the other was the normal colour, a mix of green and blue but nevertheless they both looked beautiful.

"Wow" I muttered hiding behind the tree. They must have heard me as they turned to face me. I thought they would run away but they didn't and I, took that chance.

"Hi" I slightly waved taking baby steps towards them. I know they won't understand but I can't help it. They just stared at me not moving. I stretched my arm towards the white peacock as it was the nearest to me. I slightly touched his head, at first he stood like an idle and then relaxed leaning into my touch.

"Stay here. I will be back." I said and took off running as if they understood what I said. "Leo come with me"

I ran straight to my room and took my phone searching in google for the food peacocks eat.

Corn
Wheat
And many more grains.

"Okay corn. Come on baby" I went downstairs to the kitchen and searched for them. It felt like forever since the kitchen is huge but I some how found them. I took 5 corns in my hand and gave 1 to leo.

We went to the peacocks and I placed three each in front of them. I sat near them pulling my legs to my chest. I watched them eat happily when I felt someone's presence behind me. Marco...

This guy seriously has nothing better to do...

"What are you doing here?" He asked harshly.

"None of your business" I spat and leaned on my hands more. I don't know from where I am getting all this confidence but I am like this when I am too sad or too angry. I become so brave.

"You" he yanked my hand harshly making me stand. I heard some kinda off click when he did that, a sharp pain erupted on my shoulder joint. Ball and socket joint.  Leo growled at him and jumped pushing his hand away from mine.

"You-" he was about to kick leo but I stopped him.

"Touch him and trust me you won't like it" the other side of me started showing.

"What will you do huh? Tickle me or try to trip me or pour water on me" he said with a playful smirk. He clearly doesn't understand how much leo means to me.

"Nope nope.....I will say everything to dad. By everything I mean everything from the day you hit me when I was known as rhythm and I know your already on a very thin ice with dad" I slowly shook my head and then shrugged observing his very reaction. From angry it turned to fear and then to furious by the time I completed.

I would never say anything to anyone no matter what but I am done with him thinking he can treat me however he wants.

I am his sister for god's sake.

The only princess of this entire god damn house.

I am not asking to be spoiled ....... All I am asking is to show me some respect ....... And atleast pretend like you love me.

If it's too much to ask....... atleast treat leo properly.... And me like anything you want even a slave.....I don't care.

With that being said, I just walked away. Leo growled at him one last time and followed me inside the house.

Once inside, I heard footsteps behind me, ugh!!! This guy, I ran as fast as I can upstairs. He almost caught me but I escaped. I stopped right in front of parents door and kept my hand on the handle but didn't open it.
